A/N: I have written so many drafts of this chapter, and I think I finally chose an idea that is going to work. :) And just FYI, the thing that Ms. C. says actually happened to a kid.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
I had pushed it this time. I must have just eliminated the only friend it was possible for me to get. I mean, she was a Mudblood and all, but hey, she had that evil-ish quality to her, that much was obvious.
I darted after her and smacked my hand down onto her shoulder. She stopped abruptly.
"What?" she snapped. I tried to flash a sweet little angelic grin.
"Um, I'm sorry," I said, in a voice dripping with sugar. Good lord, I hated myself for it though. She shrugged her shoulders.
"Sure. It's okay, it's not the first time people have dissed my reading tastes," Mary said with a sigh. She slugged her arm over my shoulder clumsily and led me down to the Social Studies class.
"Listen, today my whole team is going to watch The Outsiders," she paused. "One, the Outsiders is a movie, and two, our team is a group of about eighty people that have the same Math, Science, Language Arts and Social Studies teachers."
"What's a movie?" I asked. Instantly fireworks went off in my head. 'You moron,' I screamed in my mind. Mary looked at me like I had another head growing off of my shoulders.
"You've got to be kidding," she said with a snicker. I raised my eyebrows and dragged her into the corner.
"I've got to tell you something," I said slowly, considering the options. She gave me a questioning look. I hesitated. "I'm a wizard."
Mary looked surprised at first. Then she began laughing. "Oh yeah, if you're a wizard, fix my hair!" she snorted through a fit of giggles. I sighed and glanced around to see if anyone was watching, then pulled my wand out of my binder and muttered a spell.
It was great. Mary's bushy, dull-gold colored hair suddenly shone a bit brighter and the tangles in the back were gone as it fashioned itself into a somewhat sloppy bun. Oh well, I had done a moderately good job. I cackled as she gasped.
"Are you okay?" I asked, concerned that she might fall over and crack her head open on the white tiles. Mary mutely nodded in a feeble sort of way. "Do you believe me now?"
"I've got to look into taking some medication for this," Mary said slowly. "We'd better hurry, Wizard Draco."
"Well, what's a movie?" I asked as I followed her quick footsteps through the hall to class. The crowds were thinning now, and I assumed that people were on their ways to classes.
"Uh," Mary sighed, lowering her voice. "A movie is likeā¦kind of like a play you can watch on the TV, which is a big box that shows TV shows and movies on it."
"Ohh," I said, with a vague understanding of what Mary was saying. She smiled softly and led me into a room. There was a wall that separated it from the other classroom, but a man with a T-shirt that said "K State" on it was kind of folding it up. I followed my buddy over to the back wall, where Grant and a few girls sat, one of which was Kayla, the girl in our homeroom.
Soon everyone had sat down and the man walked in front of the big black box. It must have been the 'TV' Mary had talked about. He looked out at the kids that were stretched out on the floor.
"Are you guys ready?" he asked.
"No, Mr. O.," a boy with brown hair yelled.
"That's very funny, Gout," the man, who I assumed was called 'Mr. O.' replied calmly. The other about seventy-five Muggles laughed. He flipped a few switches and it suddenly got dark. I jumped.
"Hey, Ms. C," another Muggle said loudly. "Why don't you turn the rest of your lights out?"
"Because you might try to make out with your girlfriend!" Ms. C. replied. The whole class whooped with laughter. But to me the boy didn't look like any girl, even a Muggle one, would want to 'make out' with him. I didn't exactly know what that meant, but I assumed it would be bad, due to the way the kids crowed with laughter at the boy, who was now blushing a fierce shade of red.
"We're watching the Outsiders for the rest of Core Classes today," the science teacher Mrs. D. announced. The kids began murmuring. "So try to pay attention to what is different in the movie than in the book." Mary and her friends began whispering.
"Who's this, Mary? You finally gotten over HIM and found a boyfriend?" A girl with brown hair asked with a devilish hair. I was kind of outraged at the suggestion that I was Mary's boyfriend. But Mary knew what to say.
"No way, Jade. He's my New Student partner," she explained briefly. Jade cackled.
"Does he have a name?"
"Yeah! His name is Draco Malfoy," she introduced. "Draco, this is Jessica T, Jessica W, Kayla, as you know, Jade, you know Grant, Audrey and Caitlin." She pointed at her friends.
"Hello," I said, suddenly feeling awfully shy.
"Hey dude," they said, almost in unison. We giggled. But now Mr. O. was turning the movie on. There was a screen labeled "Previews." A horse appeared running across the screen, as Mary called it.
"Hey, look Miles!" Mary said loudly to the boy who had made Mr. O. angry. The class erupted into applause and laughter.
"Thanks a lot, Mary!" he said back.
"Anytime." Mary turned to me. "He supposedly is in love with a horse," she explained with a small grin.
"Ah ha," I mused quietly. I was kind of surprised. Why were these Muggles allowed to scream out to each other when ever they felt like it? At Hogwarts, if you did that, let's just say you would get a lot more than laughs. I should know.

Hope you enjoyed. And yes, we do stuff like that at my school all the time. :)
