A/N: I've found out that I had this typed in my PC… Lucky isn't it? But unfortunately this will be the last…for now…I think. I mean the book is lost and I can't remember the plot after this…This will be it for now…at least you have something to chew on while I assist my other stories. I'm really very sorry.
Disclaimer: See chapter one.
A/N: Enough about my chitchat just READ ON AND REVIEW!!!
by: coolkid189
The results of the senior poll appeared in Friday's edition of the 'Hogwarts Daily'. This issue was the only one of the year's issues that all the students read. And since there were never enough papers printed, people had to fight one another to get a look at the poll results.
I was outside heading back to the common room after a free period when Parvati and Lavander came flying down the ramp toward me. Parvati was waving ' Hogwarts Daily' over her head like a banner.
" Mione! You're in it, you're in it!" Lavander was yelling at the top of her lungs. She pushed the paper right into my face.
At first I didn't see my name. I noticed that Parvati had been named Prettiest, just as we thought she would. Lavander had lost out on Funniest to Laurice Catterby. That one I found pretty hard to believe. Larurice is the kind of person who goes around telling elephant jokes, and for her yearbook picture last year she stuck her tongue out at the last second, just as the photographer was snapping the shot. Personally, I think the school should have created a new category so Laurice could have been selected Weirdest.
I noticed that Blaise had been chosen Most Athletic, along with Mandy Min, who could run the 50-yard dash faster than anyone in school. And Neville had gotten Most Unbelievable to Succeed.
No surprise there.
(a/n: poor neville)
Then I saw it.
Best companion on a Desert Island— Hermione Granger and…… Draco Malfoy.
I stared at the print in disbelief. Was this some kind of horrible joke? Normally I would have been thrilled to get what was considered the top prize in the poll, but sharing it with Malfoy was not my idea of terrific. It meant we would have to pose for pictures together for one thing. I hoped they wouldn't make us do something gross like hold hands.
Last year, for the same category Cho and some other guy…I dunno posed for kissing, but I figured that had more to do with the fact that they were going out together than anyone else.
" Is it too late to back out?" I wondered aloud.
"Look, Mione," Lavander said, " I know how you feel about sharing it with Malfoy, but that's dumb. It's not as though they're saying you have to really be stuck on a desert island with him or anything."
Parvati sighed. " I wouldn't mind being stuck on an island with Malfoy."
"Good," I said. "You can have him then!"
Parvati giggled. "It would be so romantic."
"Come on," said Lavander, " let's go and find Ginny!"
A group of boys that were passing by stopped to say hi.
One of the guys separated himself from the group and was walking towards us. He had a camera slung around his neck. Our favorite photographer, Colin Creevey.
Lavander, Parvati, and I took one look at each other and headed as quickly as possible to the other direction. Colin was always taking pictures of us, some of which had turned up in the previous yearbooks.
Sometime around 5th year, Draco spilled water on my hair then kissed me...Colin was right there...taking pictures of us. Talk about awful!
And another time Parvati was flirting with Goyle as a dare and once again he was there to take pictures.
When Lavander was walking down the halls with her 'undies' showing..
Now you know why we hate him? You get the point don't you?
" Hey, guys wait up!" Colin called as he dashed after us, his camera banging against his chest. He never gives up. "No pictures. I promise!"
I slowed down and looked over to Lavander. "Should we trust him?"
"Do you have a mirror?" Parvati asked.
"Before I answer that, I want to check if I have anything stuck between my teeth."
"Do I look all right?" Lavander asked, patting her hair.
That was the time Colin had caught up with us.
He pointed at his camera. "Don't worry, it's not loaded," he said, as if it were a pistol he was talking about. "You can relax."
"Make one false move and I'll beat you up in a very kinky battle," Parvati growled getting her lipstick from her pocket and showing it to Colin.
"Is this a face of a liar?" he asked, giving us his most beguiling look.
"YES!" we chorused.
Colin doesn't look like a troublemaker, but we all knew better.
"Hey," he said, "don't be suspicious. I just wanted to congratulate you on the senior poll."
"You, too, Mione," he said. "That's what I wanted to talk to you about."
Instantly I was on my guard. "What is it?"
"The island thing is perfect, don't you think? I mean, look at all these islands we've got here. So, I thought, wouldn't it be great it I could get some shots of you two on a real island? Malfoy thinks it was a great idea."
"Huh-uh, no way. Not me." I started backing away up. If my friends didn't stop me I would've backed right into a tree.
"Malfoy was right! He knew that you wouldn't have the guts for it."
"WHAT?!"
"Well...I guess I'll be seeing you around," Colin called out while walking slowly to his locker.
"If that's what he wants, he's not gonna get it…Colin…I'll do it!"
I don't know what came over me then. The fact that Malfoy said that I was a coward or that I just said that.
"Meet me at the harbor at eleven." Colin shouted over as he ran to his class.
I quickly said good bye to my friends and ran straight to my next class, which was luckily near.
If he thinks I'm gonna back up because I'm scared of him…HE IS WAY TOOOOOO WRONG!!!
