Day 9

I bust the windows out your car

After I saw you looking right at her

I didn't wanna, but I took my turn

I'm glad I did it cause you had to learn

Pansy had officially lost her marbles. Although it was common for Slytherins to enter their common room cackling evilly, the high pitched scream that came out of her mouth was too much for some lingering underclassman to handle.

It was a beautiful day outside, and many were out milling around the grounds, happy to be able to walk around on one of the first days of spring. Even the majority of the Slytherins, who in their cold dark dungeons had reigned supreme during the winter months, were excited to finally be released from their stone prisons for some much needed fresh air and exercise.

Pansy had been one in that majority… until she came.

Hermione Granger was practically the bane of Pansy's mere existence on this earth. She embodied everything that made Pansy's skin crawl with disgust. The bushy-haired know-it-all was too nice, too smart, too forgiving. In total, Pansy just found her too perfect. And perfection was something that didn't set well with Pansy.

This dark haired teenager preyed on people's insecurities. Perfect people don't have many flaws or self-judgments, which made Granger virtually impossible to successful manipulate. This only made her job as the school bully that much harder.

Regardless, lots of the Qudditich players finally saw this warm, comforting day as a chance to finally play a quick pick up game again, and many players were flying around the pitch warming up before they picked teams. Pansy, being the loving and dutiful almost-girlfriend (it would happen) of Draco Malfoy, found it only fitting to be there right on the sidelines cheering him on. Unfortunately, Potty and Weasel were in their gear, which only meant one thing. And that one thing was sitting down the bench from her; Pansy had to restrain herself from outright sneering. She needed to keep a pretty face in case Draco looked over her way.

After the game, she briefly noticed Granger quickly retreating to the locker rooms, no doubt to catch her two stupid friends in all their grimy glory to congratulate them on a job well done. Pansy had other plans; after primping herself to make sure she looked divine, she casually strolled her way to the Slytherin lockers, knowing full and well Draco would have to pass her in order to walk back to the main building.

As she stood in what she thought was a sexy pose, she heard faint whispers. Interested, she tried to focus on the voices.

"You did great, Draco, really."

"Hmm, a compliment from Miss Know-It-All; I must really be doing something right. You should reward me with a kiss."

Silence.

The two people identified and her worst nightmare confirmed, Pansy saw red (or green, depending on one's judgment).

Which leads to present day, with her shrill scream ringing through the dungeons.

Draco returned to his dorm after a thoroughly wonderful snogging session with Hermione. He might have lost the match, but if one thing is for certain, Draco Malfoy is always a winner.

His room was in complete disarray. Clothes and books were strewn around his bed and trunk and things that had been in neat stacks were now located across the room. His notes were ripped apart crudely and it seems someone had let his practice Snitch free in his room as it was buzzing around his head. The only indication that anyone had been in his dormitory was a piece of textbook paper with something scrawled over the normal textbook words.

The note read as follows, "I hate you, Pansy Parkinson."

Draco snorted as he thought, finally.
