Chapter One: Malfoy's a Git
Harry furiously scribbled at his parchment, his mutterings rising and falling in pitch with the vehemence of his scratching. "Stupid bloody romance shippers; Romeo and Juliet my arse; what do they know about love?" Save the coarse scratching of parchment there was silence until, "Oh Bloody Hell!" Consumed by his frustration, Harry's jerking movements upended his vial of ink, sending the viscous blue liquid cascading down his robes.
Only as it sloshed down to his ankles, did he even realize his mistake. Jumping to his feet, Harry whipped out his wand and trained it on the inky mess. "Evanesco!"
He had reached his boiling point. "I mean really, in what sordid chaotic world would Hermione ever fall for Draco 'The Ferrety Git' Malfoy?"
Harry strode over to the window by his bed and wrenched it open. Feeling the need to release his anger, he stuck his head out. "She bloody wouldn't! You're wrong; you hear me? You're all wrong!"
Down below, in the courtyard, several students looked up, startled by the angry bellow. A red faced and huffing Harry Potter 'The Boy Who Lived' loomed above them gesticulating angrily as he shouted.
Noticing his audience, Harry snarled. "Oi! The Hell are you looking at? Bugger off!" The group of first years, in the midst of their studying, yelped in terror and broke apart and fled from the benches.
Hermione/Draco romantic fanfiction. Bah, Harry thought derisively. As if that could ever happen.
His anger somewhat abated, Harry reviewed the work he had written.
The Magic of Love
By Green Eyed Wonder
Summary: A tenacious ordinary girl, Hermione discovers the world of Magic. In it she meets roguish wizard Harry, who teaches her in the wonders of this new world, and how to harness her newfound powers. H/Hr. A.U.
Satisfied with his summary, and the five chapters he'd now written, He set the work down. 'This will win the competition for sure. Let Malfoy try and top this.' Harry grinned. To his right, Hedwig sat perched by the edge of his bedpost, waiting patiently. "Here you go girl. Take this to Lavender."
Harry tied the roll of parchment into a bundle, attaching it to Hedwig's leg. With an authoritative hoot, the snowy owl swooped out the open window and down through the grounds.
Everything taken care of, Harry stretched out his knotted back and neck. He'd been pouring over that story for the better part of the weekend, determined to have it ready on time. He let loose a jaw cracking yawn, and collapsed onto his bed for a nap.
There in his garbage bin, left forgotten and already read, was a small flyer.
