******Chapter 2: Dawning on Them******
"What's up Harry? You haven't said a word in about fifteen minutes. What are you looking at?" Ron asked. Then looking over at Dawn, which Harry was looking at. Ron grinned and ignored the question himself. Hermione saw too.
"Doesn't it suck she's in Slytherin? How could that be?" She asked. "She's so nice."
"Yea, only mean, stuck up people go in there." Ron implied.
"Me neither. Do you see the way he looks and flirts with her? It's disgusting." Harry scowled.
"Harry, you know what's even more disgusting? The way you stare at her!" Ron said. Harry didn't say anything. He was to jealous to come up with anything.
"You know what won't be the same though?" Hermione said.
"I'm stumped. My brain can't think that long." Ron joked.
"We all know that, Ron. But all of our Defense Against the Dark Arts professors won't stay more than a year so far. I wonder what our new professor will be?" Hermione replied.
"Hermione. Lockhart's long gone. Get over it." Ron said.
******At the Slytherin Table******
"So you're new here, right?" Draco asked.
"Yea. My friends over there are new professors and helper teachers. They look funny now with those robes on..." Dawn replied. He's nice... and cute. What's his name though? Dawn's thoughts were interrupted.
"So what's your name?" Draco was being awkwardly nice in his case.
"Dawn Summers."
"Beautiful name. And how first and last name blend perfectly together." Dawn blushed.
"Yours?"
"Draco Malfoy." That name sounded familiar to her. On the train! Harry said to stay away from him. But I don't see why, he seems so charming and nice. Dawn thought.
"Cool name. Did your parents name you after a star?"
"Who knows, I'm OK with it though." Dawn started to really like him. With his strong body and great personality. Who wouldn't. Harry was still staring at the scene, growing even more red inside. Anger flickered in his eyes.
"You OK Harry?" Ron asked slowly.
"Just great." Harry said coldly. Ron saw again what Harry was so mad about. Draco and Dawn were really hitting it off. Then Ron started to feel mad inside.
"What's up with you two?" Hermione asked. "Oh, look at that. I guess opposites do attract."
"If only she knew the real jerk in him." Harry said.
"Face it Harry, things like this happen. Sooner or later, you'll find another you like and forget about her as well. You're 15, you'll get it one day. And Draco can be nice when he wants to be. Really. When only HE wants to be." Hermione rolled her eyes. Dumbledore hushed everybody down, catching their attention.
"Welcome everyone to another fabulous year at Hogwarts! I would just like to announce about our new, six professors!" Everyone applauded and the Scooby gang smiled, except for Spike, who was almost asleep but shot up when he heard the loud claps. "Now hopefully you'll be seeing them around the school. And I just wanted to say one more thing... good luck." Dumbledore almost whispered and everyone cheered their next year at Hogwarts.
*****The Next Day******
"So what's your schedules guys?" Ron asked Harry and Hermione.
"Ron, we all have the same classes together, remember?" Hermione replied.
"Oh yea." Ron said thoughtfully.
"Well, first is Potions with the Slytherins, let's just get it over with." Harry mumbled and walked into Snape's classroom. Right away he saw Dawn sitting in the middle of the classroom, talking to Anya. He walked over and sat next to her, she looked at him and smiled. Ron was about to go over and sit down, but Hermione grabbed his sholder.
"Ron..." Hermione whispered harshly and gestured over to the other two.
"What, I was just- Oh..." Ron caught on.
"Really Ron, I worry about you this year. Is it that Fred and George aren't here so you have to be the idiot?" Hermione asked and they stood there, letting Harry and Dawn talk.
"How've you been?" Harry asked.
"Good. But the only nice person in Slytherin is this guy, Draco Malfoy. And all of these other girls are all bitchy when I talk to him. But his friends are nice, or it seems he makes them be nice... But anyways, I don't know why they put me in Slytherin when I was in Gryffindor already. Weird Sorting Hat. Dumbledore said it made a mistake and that I belonged in Slytherin instead. What kind of name is that anyways? Sounds gross. So what's up with you?" Dawn replied. Harry was shocked by it all.
"OK, the only good guy in Slytherin is Draco Malfoy, and to top it off, you were supposed to be in Gryffindor?? That's just perfect." Harry slumped.
"What's wrong, Harry? It's only teams. We can still be friends."
"No, that's the thing. Everyone in Slytherin is ugly and mean and your so beautiful and nice. And Gryffindor hates Slytherin the most."
"Harry, do you care what other people think?"
"Not really, if I could stand Draco for so long."
"Than who cares! I don't. I've already made a couple of friends in Gryffindor and they know that I'm a Slytherin."
"And Draco?"
"What's up with you and him?"
"No, what's up with him. Do you know what the hell he puts me through? Just because I'm 'The Famous Harry Potter'."
"Really? He's so sweet."
"Trust me, Dawn. You don't know him. The only reason he's being nice to you is because you have a pretty face. He doesn't know you're more than that."
"Oh, am I?"
"In a friend way."
"Gotcha." Dawn smiled as Harry blushed. Ron just couldn't help but giggle loudly.
"Come on, I'm sitting down." Ron said.
"Wait." Hermione pointed at Malfoy as he came in, walking over by Dawn.
"Don't mind if I sit here, do you?" He asked Dawn. Dawn shook her head and Malfoy sat down. Harry glared at him, Malfoy returning an evil grin.
"What's up with you two?" Dawn asked. Ron and Hermione came over and sat next to Harry, preparing to hold him back from what ever he had store for Malfoy.
"What's the matter, Potter? Speechless on words nowaday, huh?" Malfoy sneered and the bell rang.
"Silence!" Snape said to the large, busy classroom. Everyone went quiet right away.
"Hi everybody!" Anya said, coming in the classroom. She left after talking to Dawn to get her lesson plan. Everyone turned to her. "You shall call me Anyanca. I don't really have a last name. I'm kind of an ex-demon, but to get on serious matters-" Everyone started talking quietly except for Dawn. This ex-demon struts on up in Snape's classroom, doesn't use the word professor as a name in school, and takes over as if Snape wasn't even there.
"Excuse me, Anyanca, but I was just about to teach 'my' class, mind you." Snape said.
"Are you really an ex-demon?" Ron asked curiously.
"Oh yea, loads of fun." Anya said and laughed.
"Yea right." Malfoy muttered. Anya stopped laughing and turned to Malfoy.
"Wanna wager on that?" She asked, standing by his desk.
"Prove it." Malfoy remarked.
"OK. Lucos." Anya said and her face went all wrinkly. "Oh my god! I can still do that! This could be of an advantage... But anyways, see. Like I said, I'm an ex-demon. I got drained of all of my powers about a year or so ago. I used to be a wish demon, see, a wish demon would-"
"Anyanca! Please! This is a potions class, not Defense Against the Dark Arts!" Snape yelled out of frustration.
"Excuse me?" Anya turned to Snape. "I was just telling my story about being a wish demon. Unless you were ever a chaos demon, step back." Anya ordered and changed her face back to normal. She turned back to the class. "Now don't ask me to do that face more, because I just found out that I can still prove that I was ever a demon at all." Anya said and went on what she did as a wish demon. As for Snape, he backed off of her the rest of the day.
******Next Hour, Care of Magical Creatures******
Everyone was still buzzing around about Anya's story. She had a lot of respect from others now. Except for most Slytherins, especially Malfoy. But when he saw that Dawn liked Anya's story, he didn't say a word more. "Good mornin' Harry! Who's that you've got there now?" Hagrid asked as Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Dawn walked up to the Care of Magical Creatures class.
"This is Dawn, she's new. All the way from America." Harry replied as Dawn shook Hagrid's huge hand. Dawn was shocked by the size of it, and him. She saw Tara in the back, petting a creature that looked a lot like a goose and a falcon.
"Hey, Tara! Nice to meet you Hagrid." Dawn said and went up to Tara. "Hi!"
"Hi Dawn!" Tara smiled and stood up. The field in front of Hagrid's house was beautiful and grassy. Tara liked it a lot. "Who are they?" She pointed to Harry and his friends.
"A friend. Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger." Dawn replied. "Hey guys! I want you to meet my friend!" They came over and shook hands with the sandy-haired witch. Then came Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle who leaned against a tree, watching Dawn.
"Is he stalking you or something?" Ron asked, squinting at Malfoy.
"Seems it." Harry muttered. Then Dawn looked up. There was a jet-black haired male banging on the window, waving at Dawn. Dawn waved back at Xander. He seemed very excited about actually seeing her; because he was dying from being in the same room with Spike. Xander kept on jumping around in front of the window, waving at Dawn, until something pulled him aside sharply. Spike. Dawn giggled and sat down for class to begin. Harry, Ron and Hermione surrounded her, as if trying to block off Malfoy, who was still leaning against a tree, laughing with Crabbe and Goyle, the fat, pudgy, two body guards. Even though Malfoy had a lot of strength on him.
"Good mornin' class, sit down, sit down. This is our new helper professor person... you know?" Hagrid announced.
"Just call me Tara. I'm not into the whole professor thing." Tara smiled. All of the boy's stomachs lurched in a good feeling.
"So we're going to be learning about Happets. They're kind of like a goose head and falcon features. But beware! They hurt like hell! Offend them, and you won't be able to ride your broom stick anymore." Hagrid warned. "So who wants to pet it?"
"No Malfoy." Dean Thomas said. "Good boy!"
"We'll kind of need four volunteers for this one. Dean, you seem to be up for it. And...." Hagrid looked around. "Draco, Harry, and Dawn. Come on up." They got up and walked cautiously by the Happet.
"Don't worry Malfoy. It'll be OK. Just don't get hurt, And whatever you do, stay away from the light!" Dean teased. Malfoy glared at him. Dawn was the first to just walk on up and stroke the Happet's neck.
"The Happet can sense if someone is a good person or not. So caution if you're not, otherwise he'll bite you." Tara noted.
"Yea Malfoy." Dean went on. Harry went next and stroked it's neck too. It was very cute and very kind. Also very miniature.
"Good! Go on Dean, it won't bite. Wait.... scratch that." Hagrid said. Dean just walked up and patted the Happet's head.
"Good dog." He said and backed away. Malfoy went up next to Dawn and stroked it's neck as well. The Happet didn't even notice. Being scratched on it's neck is it's weak spot. Malfoy got closer to Dawn, touching his body next to hers, still petting the Happet's neck. He was warm and soft, which made Dawn take a deep, unneeded breathe. Harry saw this right away, cringing at Malfoy as Malfoy grinned evilly back. Nobody else noticed though, they had all got up to pet a Happet too. One chased around Crabbe and Goyle, squawking menacingly at them. Dawn got up and walked away from the Happet, sitting down somewhere else. Harry got up before Malfoy and went over by her.
"What's wrong?" He asked, sitting close to her.
"Nothing." Dawn said, closing her eyes.
"Well if you ever need to talk to anybody about something, I'm always here." Harry whispered and tucked a few strands of Dawn's hair behind her ear, walking over to Ron and Hermione. Malfoy was the one to glare this time, as Harry grinned evilly back at him. One point more for Harry. Which seemed more like 100 points for Gryffindor.
******Defense Against the Dark Arts******
"Now you stay there, I'll stay here." Xander huffed. Spike was just having the class beat up Xander for 'defense against the dark arts'. The students started piling in now, taking their seats. Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Dawn sat next to each other. And Ron and Hermione made sure Malfoy wouldn't interfere.
"Hey Little Bit." Spike said.
"He's my sister's boy friend, as he likes to put it. And like my brother. So we're good friends." Dawn said to the other three. Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle came in and sat a row behind Dawn.
"OK everyone. I'm Professor Harris, this is... I forgot, what did you want to be called?" Xander asked Spike sarcastically.
"Spike." Spike replied firmly.
"Thank god this is the last class we have with Slytherin." Ron muttered to Hermione.
"William it is." Xander said.
"Spike." Spike said again.
"Call him what you want class, he can't hurt you." Xander announced.
"OK Draco." Dean said.
"Now we're going to be learning about," Xander pointed to Spike. "Vampires. Any questions so far? No? OK, vampires are very mean. As you can see him." Everyone snorted. They didn't believe that Spike was a vampire.
"Who doesn't believe I'm a vampire." Spike rolled his eyes. Every hand except Dawn's shot up.
"OK, first thing about vampires that he didn't learn, never piss them off. Secondly, never say they aren't what they are." Spike's face changed vampiric. Everybody gasped; except Dawn. He changed back.
"So I guess that explains your disbelief. Now vampires can't go out in the sun light, for we'll die. A wooden stake through the heart once can kill us and so can holy water. And we can't touch crosses. So any questions now?" Everybody shot their hand up. "No? OK. So there are slayers to kill the vamps and demons. The slayer is actually teaching in this very school right now. Professor Summers. And make sure to bug her a lot about it. Any questions so far?" Again, everybody raised their hand. "Good. So you have your example. You have your information. And no, I won't hurt you so don't bother on holding a stake every time you come in."
"Well, he explained it. Not in the best possible way but there you have it. Anybody wanna beat up a vampire now?" Xander asked. Nobody volunteered. "Oh, come on, it's fun! Harry, how 'bout you?" Xander said. Harry got up and walked over to Spike, nervous. Spike didn't care, waiting for a small pinch. Harry took a swing of a fist and struck Spike straight on the nose, Spike stumbling backwards and holding his nose. It was bleeding.
"Bloody hell! Careful there! Damn, Potter! You've got a lot of strength." Everyone froze. "I'm impressed."
"Well, he did defeat He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named. He's probably stronger than you. No contest with Malfoy." Ron said. Malfoy couldn't stand that. He got up and walked over to Spike, punching him in the stomach. Spike started choking for breathe. Malfoy sneered at Harry. Harry punched Spike in the arm, having Spike a bruise. He sneered back at Malfoy. Harry and Malfoy started beating up Spike, seeing who could do the most damage. Xander obviously didn't stop them. Everybody stared in amazement. Malfoy and Harry finally gave up on Spike and start swinging fists at each other. Spike was too sore to stop it. Xander didn't realize it until he saw Spike holding his stomach and pointing to the scene. Ron got up and punched Malfoy in the jaw. Malfoy didn't want to seem weak so he didn't call for Crabbe and Goyle, instead knocked the lights out of Ron.
"OK! OK boys!" Xander tried stopping the two but he couldn't.
"You...worthless...filthy...git!" Harry kept swearing at Malfoy between punches.
"Go...to...hell...you...mother...fucker!" Malfoy swore.
"You...couldn't....get...a girl...if...your father...paid...her!"
"At least...she...likes..me!"
"You...and...Voldemort...would...only...say..that!"
"That's it! 100 points from Slytherin and Gryffindor!" Spike choked. They didn't stop. "Get Buffy." Dawn had already gotten up and gotten Buffy. Buffy ran over to the two and held them back from each other.
"100 points from Slytherin and Gryffindor and detention for the both of you! Now we're going to go see Dumbledore." Buffy said, dragging them out of the class room.
"OK, let's get back to what we were doing." Xander said.
"Harry won." Dean muttered, even though a lot heard him. Everybody started debating about whether Harry or Malfoy won the fight. Dean smiled. Xander glared at him.
"Come on! Please shut-up!" Xander begged the class.
******Dumbledore's Office******
"I'm very disappointed in the both of you. And you do know everybody will be talking about this for quite a while." Dumbledore said, sitting at his desk.
"He started it." Harry said.
"He started it." Malfoy remarked.
"I don't care who! Because I already know. And I do know that this fight was over a girl." Dumbledore said, folding his hands. Harry and Malfoy didn't have a comment for that. "Now, what I do want to know is why?" They sat quiet for a moment.
"Because she's... pretty and nice." Harry said.
"She's beautiful and wonderful." Malfoy remarked.
"She's outstanding."
"She's in Slytherin."
"I met her first."
"I'll see her last."
"She likes me more."
"It's pity, Potter."
"No, only a half wit as desperate as you are would date you."
"Let's see about that."
"You're on. But when it's up against you, it's no competition."
"Because I'd win."
"No, because you'd wimp out."
"Boys, stop right now. Now both of you are going into the Forbidden Forest Saturday night as punishment with Hagrid. And that's the end of it. We already took away the 150 points. Now go back to your class and apologize to Professor Harris and Spike." Dumbledore commanded and Harry and Malfoy got up and left, going back to class.
******To be Continued******
Next Chapter of Hogwart's and The Scoobies: Somebody acompanies Draco and Harry in the Forbidden Forest. Spike and Buffy start hitting it off but it will take a while longer to get Xander ans Spike more aquainted...
author's note: Thanks for reading so far and if you read The Squarepants Files, I wasn't meaning for Tara to be mean. I was just saying that Xander annoys her. But if you don't, ignore that. R&R. I would like to know if anybody reads it. Thank you. Updating in another two days most likely.

******Chapter 2: Dawning on Them******
"What's up Harry? You haven't said a word in about fifteen minutes. What are you looking at?" Ron asked. Then looking over at Dawn, which Harry was looking at. Ron grinned and ignored the question himself. Hermione saw too.
"Doesn't it suck she's in Slytherin? How could that be?" She asked. "She's so nice."
"Yea, only mean, stuck up people go in there." Ron implied.

"Hermione. Lockhart's long gone. Get over it." Ron said.
******At the Slytherin Table******
"So you're new here, right?" Draco asked.
"Yea. My friends over there are new professors and helper teachers. They look funny now with those robes on..." Dawn replied. He's nice... and cute. What's his name though? Dawn's thoughts were interrupted.

"Trust me, Dawn. You don't know him. The only reason he's being nice to you is because you have a pretty face. He doesn't know you're more than that."
"Oh, am I?"
"In a friend way."
"Gotcha." Dawn smiled as Harry blushed. Ron just couldn't help but giggle loudly.
"Come on, I'm sitting down." Ron said.
"Wait." Hermione pointed at Malfoy as he came in, walking over by Dawn.

"Are you really an ex-demon?" Ron asked curiously.

******Next Hour, Care of Magical Creatures******
Everyone was still buzzing around about Anya's story. She had a lot of respect from others now. Except for most Slytherins, especially Malfoy. But when he saw that Dawn liked Anya's story, he didn't say a word more. "Good mornin' Harry! Who's that you've got there now?" Hagrid asked as Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Dawn walked up to the Care of Magical Creatures class.
"This is Dawn, she's new. All the way from America." Harry replied as Dawn shook Hagrid's huge hand. Dawn was shocked by the size of it, and him. She saw Tara in the back, petting a creature that looked a lot like a goose and a falcon.
"Hey, Tara! Nice to meet you Hagrid." Dawn said and went up to Tara. "Hi!"
"Hi Dawn!" Tara smiled and stood up. The field in front of Hagrid's house was beautiful and grassy. Tara liked it a lot. "Who are they?" She pointed to Harry and his friends.
"A friend. Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger." Dawn replied. "Hey guys! I want you to meet my friend!" They came over and shook hands with the sandy-haired witch. Then came Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle who leaned against a tree, watching Dawn.

"Good mornin' class, sit down, sit down. This is our new helper professor person... you know?" Hagrid announced.
"Just call me Tara. I'm not into the whole professor thing." Tara smiled. All of the boy's stomachs lurched in a good feeling.
"So we're going to be learning about Happets. They're kind of like a goose head and falcon features. But beware! They hurt like hell! Offend them, and you won't be able to ride your broom stick anymore." Hagrid warned. "So who wants to pet it?"
"No Malfoy." Dean Thomas said. "Good boy!"
"We'll kind of need four volunteers for this one. Dean, you seem to be up for it. And...." Hagrid looked around. "Draco, Harry, and Dawn. Come on up." They got up and walked cautiously by the Happet.
"Don't worry Malfoy. It'll be OK. Just don't get hurt, And whatever you do, stay away from the light!" Dean teased. Malfoy glared at him. Dawn was the first to just walk on up and stroke the Happet's neck.
"The Happet can sense if someone is a good person or not. So caution if you're not, otherwise he'll bite you." Tara noted.

Malfoy was the one to glare this time, as Harry grinned evilly back at him. One point more for Harry. Which seemed more like 100 points for Gryffindor.
******Defense Against the Dark Arts******
"Now you stay there, I'll stay here." Xander huffed. Spike was just having the class beat up Xander for 'defense against the dark arts'. The students started piling in now, taking their seats. Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Dawn sat next to each other. And Ron and Hermione made sure Malfoy wouldn't interfere.
"Hey Little Bit." Spike said.
"He's my sister's boy friend, as he likes to put it. And like my brother. So we're good friends." Dawn said to the other three. Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle came in and sat a row behind Dawn.
"OK everyone. I'm Professor Harris, this is... I forgot, what did you want to be called?" Xander asked Spike sarcastically.
"Spike." Spike replied firmly.
"Thank god this is the last class we have with Slytherin." Ron muttered to Hermione.
"William it is." Xander said.
"Spike." Spike said again.
"Call him what you want class, he can't hurt you." Xander announced.
"OK Draco." Dean said.
"Now we're going to be learning about," Xander pointed to Spike. "Vampires. Any questions so far? No? OK, vampires are very mean. As you can see him." Everyone snorted. They didn't believe that Spike was a vampire.
"Who doesn't believe I'm a vampire." Spike rolled his eyes. Every hand except Dawn's shot up.
"OK, first thing about vampires that he didn't learn, never piss them off. Secondly, never say they aren't what they are." Spike's face changed vampiric. Everybody gasped; except Dawn. He changed back.
"So I guess that explains your disbelief. Now vampires can't go out in the sun light, for we'll die. A wooden stake through the heart once can kill us and so can holy water. And we can't touch crosses. So any questions now?" Everybody shot their hand up. "No? OK. So there are slayers to kill the vamps and demons. The slayer is actually teaching in this very school right now. Professor Summers. And make sure to bug her a lot about it. Any questions so far?" Again, everybody raised their hand. "Good. So you have your example. You have your information. And no, I won't hurt you so don't bother on holding a stake every time you come in."
"Well, he explained it. Not in the best possible way but there you have it. Anybody wanna beat up a vampire now?" Xander asked. Nobody volunteered. "Oh, come on, it's fun! Harry, how 'bout you?" Xander said. Harry got up and walked over to Spike, nervous. Spike didn't care, waiting for a small pinch. Harry took a swing of a fist and struck Spike straight on the nose, Spike stumbling backwards and holding his nose. It was bleeding.
"Bloody hell! Careful there! Damn, Potter! You've got a lot of strength." Everyone froze. "I'm impressed."
"Well, he did defeat He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named. He's probably stronger than you. No contest with Malfoy." Ron said. Malfoy couldn't stand that. He got up and walked over to Spike, punching him in the stomach. Spike started choking for breathe. Malfoy sneered at Harry. Harry punched Spike in the arm, having Spike a bruise. He sneered back at Malfoy. Harry and Malfoy started beating up Spike, seeing who could do the most damage. Xander obviously didn't stop them. Everybody stared in amazement. Malfoy and Harry finally gave up on Spike and start swinging fists at each other. Spike was too sore to stop it. Xander didn't realize it until he saw Spike holding his stomach and pointing to the scene. Ron got up and punched Malfoy in the jaw. Malfoy didn't want to seem weak so he didn't call for Crabbe and Goyle, instead knocked the lights out of Ron.
"OK! OK boys!" Xander tried stopping the two but he couldn't.
"You...worthless...filthy...git!" Harry kept swearing at Malfoy between punches.
"Go...to...hell...you...mother...fucker!" Malfoy swore.
"You...couldn't....get...a girl...if...your father...paid...her!"
"At least...she...likes..me!"
"You...and...Voldemort...would...only...say..that!"
"That's it! 100 points from Slytherin and Gryffindor!" Spike choked. They didn't stop. "Get Buffy." Dawn had already gotten up and gotten Buffy. Buffy ran over to the two and held them back from each other.
"100 points from Slytherin and Gryffindor and detention for the both of you! Now we're going to go see Dumbledore." Buffy said, dragging them out of the class room.
"OK, let's get back to what we were doing." Xander said.
"Harry won." Dean muttered, even though a lot heard him. Everybody started debating about whether Harry or Malfoy won the fight. Dean smiled. Xander glared at him.
"Come on! Please shut-up!" Xander begged the class.
******Dumbledore's Office******
"I'm very disappointed in the both of you. And you do know everybody will be talking about this for quite a while." Dumbledore said, sitting at his desk.
"He started it." Harry said.
"He started it." Malfoy remarked.
"I don't care who! Because I already know. And I do know that this fight was over a girl." Dumbledore said, folding his hands. Harry and Malfoy didn't have a comment for that. "Now, what I do want to know is why?" They sat quiet for a moment.
"Because she's... pretty and nice." Harry said.
"She's beautiful and wonderful." Malfoy remarked.
"She's outstanding."
"She's in Slytherin."
"I met her first."
"I'll see her last."
"She likes me more."
"It's pity, Potter."
"No, only a half wit as desperate as you are would date you."
"Let's see about that."
"You're on. But when it's up against you, it's no competition."
"Because I'd win."
"No, because you'd wimp out."
"Boys, stop right now. Now both of you are going into the Forbidden Forest Saturday night as punishment with Hagrid. And that's the end of it. We already took away the 150 points. Now go back to your class and apologize to Professor Harris and Spike." Dumbledore commanded and Harry and Malfoy got up and left, going back to class.

author's note: Thanks for reading so far and if you read The Squarepants Files, I wasn't meaning for Tara to be mean. I was just saying that Xander annoys her. But if you don't, ignore that. R&R. I would like to know if anybody reads it. Thank you. Updating in another two days most likely.
