Chapter 7
The face shown,
Is not always the face known.
Hidden,
Would be something,
Seldom found.
Draco's P.O.V.
" Draco Malfoy!
Before I plan to drop another dung bomb on your perfect hair, tell me why you
bare a grudge against Harry, Ron and Hermione!" Laura said, after being dragged
away.
" Ermm well," I
stuttered.
' Sheesh. Doesn't
she ever let up?' " I just can't stand the way Potter is so damn happy and
good!" I said in a burst.
Laura sighed
gently." Why don't you try being nice?"
" I can't! Its
not in my nature to be nice!"
" Just try. You
will never know till you try, plus you can get to know Ginny better this way."
Laura said slyly.
" You definitely
have a way of talking people around." I admitted.
"I will take it
as a yes. See you tomorrow morning. Night Draco." She said as she left the
dorm.
What have I got
myself into, I thought to myself before falling asleep.

" Draco, don't
forget to be nice." Laura said, while walking towards the Gryffindor table. "
Hi guys."
" Hi Harry, Ron,
Hermione and Ginny." Said Draco.
" What!" said Ron
nearly choking on his pumpkin juice.
" Morning." Said
Hermione.
" Morning." Replied
Harry who had just barely regained his composure.
" See you later."
Said Laura.
" Can't believe
that Malfoy is being nice." Said Ron after Draco was out of earshot. Harry
nodded his agreement.
" I think he is
only being nice for another reason." Said Hermione.
" Who?" asked Ron
eagerly.
" You sound like
you were about to blackmail Malfoy. It's so obvious. It's Ginny. Look at her,
she looks like Harry, starring in a certain direction." Said Hermione softly to
Ron.
" What! With that
git!" said Ron going into a list of rude words to describe Draco with plenty of
arm movements, nearly knocking over the whole jug.
" Ron!" Hermione
tried to stifle a giggle and sound disapproving, but soon lost control and
burst into laughter with Ron, causing Harry to stare at them as if they were
mad.

" All right.
Professor Dumbledore has given me permission to bring in some dragons for you
all. " Said Hagrid beaming away.
The whole class
groaned silently. Harry was seriously considering faking a headache to escape
this class. His last experience with dragons weren't too good. Harry's thoughts
suddenly fell on Draco. ' Does Draco mean dragon?' Harry had a sudden
recollection of a dream he had over the holidays. The dragon was helping him.
Helping him to fight.
" Harry, you got
to stop dreaming. Now we have to familiarize ourselves with the dragons. " Said
Hermione.
" Alright." He
said, trying to put the dream to the back of his mind.
There were many
types of dragons, Harry noted. There were some of the more common ones, and
those used in the tournament. But the dragons' breed in China looked so much
more different. They were not tall but they were long and had scales all over
their body. Their legs were short. And they looked like they had whiskers on
their faces. They looked far more serious that those found in Britain. Harry thought that those found in China
looked a lot more mythical and older.
The lesson soon
ended, with one or two people getting mild burns. Hagrid was beaming
everywhere. And most of the class were looking pretty pale, looking ready to
puke.

Time past rather
quickly. The fortnight was up. Laura had many friends in Slytherin but no close
ones. But unfortunately she had unfortunately gotten on the bad side of
Millicent and Pansy. As Draco had so aptly termed it.
" Hermione!!!"
Laura screamed cheerfully. " I'm staying in your dorm for the meantime!"
" That's nice."
Said Hermione, smiling. " But could you stop screaming? I'm going to turn deaf
soon."
" I don't think
Draco is going to be very pleased but someone else would be." Said Ron while placing his arm over Hermione
causing her to blush.
" I'll say." Said
Harry. " He is once again being pestered by dear Pansy."
" Hmm. This can
be easily changed." Said Laura, smiling. She took out her wand and pointed it
at Pansy, muttering a few well-chosen words. Pansy suddenly expanded. That she
soon was floating in the air. Draco took this opportunity and rushed over.
" Thanks Laura."
He said laughing at the sight of Pansy. " Lets go before anybody catches us.
