To make this a fanfic, which I'm not sure will qualify. Is a little humor-
Draco Malfoy sighed glumly, he had been stuck with Pansy Parkinson for three days, since she had forgotten that the cellar door was locked from the outside, and she had forgotten the key.
She was sleeping on his chest, which he had detested. Finally on the third day, the door opened and Harry and Hermione stepped in. Draco panicked, his only chance of getting out was ruined... all because of Potter. 'Well here we go again.' He thought.
