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.
