Draco

Ron opened the present and saw four tickets to next summer's Quidditch game with the Chudley Cannons versus the Delta Serpents.

My father had bought them for me after my fourth year at Hogwarts as a gift. Since he now was in an Asylum, he couldn't take my mom, a friend, and me. I had decided I was going to give them away. " Um, thanks…Not! Listen, Draco. You can not win my friendship by buying me some dorky tickets to a Quidditch game!" Ron yelled.

He then handed me the tickets and said I could keep them. Apparently, he didn't want them either. Well that was fine with me 'cause I only gave them to him so he might like me and Hermione would go out with me.

After that Weasley ran out and Harry and Hermione followed suit. I sat at the table for about five minutes before deciding to go to my common room.

As soon as I entered my dorm, I saw Blaise. He had one of his You-Better-Tell-Me-What-Your-Up-To looks on his face. " What were you doing at the Gryffindor table?" he quizzed.

" Oh, it just part of the master plan!" I said evilly.

" What plan?" Blaise questioned.

I personally think he is one of those people who likes to ask a lot of questions. " The plan to get Hermione to go out with me," I told him.

" You like HER?" he snickered.

I sighed. I knew he would take it like this. Everyone thinks there is no possible way I could ever like a muggleborn witch. You know why? I'll tell you anyway. It's all because of my Father.

" SO? You like Lila McCormick! Personally, I despise that name. I think it just rolls of your tongue. I don't like names that do that. I think Hermione is a much better name." I told Blaise.

I saw Blaise's cheeks go red. He was obviously embarrassed. " I DO NOT like Lila!" He screamed.

" Do too," I argued.

Just then, I heard footsteps. A few minutes later Professor Snape came in. " What is the matter?" he asked.

Blaise and I just looked at each other." Zabini? Malfoy? Would either of you like to tell me why I heard a scream?" Snape asked.

" Well, you see the thing is that…" Blaise started.

" I just found out that Professor McGonagall likes you!" I finished evilly.

Professor Snape just looked at me as if I had just said Ron Weasley was rich. " Blaise said that there was no way she liked you and he accidentally screamed." I told him.

" Yeah, I'm sorry!" Blaise apologized.

" All right," Snape said.

He then left. I looked at Blaise," You owe me big!"

" Wha-? No Way! I am doing nothing for you. And anyway how do you come up with things like that?" Blaise complained.

" It's a gift. And you will if you don't want everyone in the whole school knowing you like Lila!" I said blackmailing Blaise.

" Well, I could-"

" Then I tell who you like," I said not waiting for him to finish.

" What do I have to do?" he asked.

" Convince Ron I'm really nice and I want to be his friend," I told him.

One month later, Blaise still hadn't done it and something weird was beginning to happen to me.

**** Harry Potter****

After Ron left, Hermione and I went to the common room. " Well, he's not here!" she said.

I nodded and went to my dorm to check for Ron. When I didn't find him, I decided to work on my homework. He probably wouldn't talk to me even if I did find him. " I can't believe he did that!" a voice hollered.

Well, they didn't actually holler. It was more of complained. I looked up and saw Seamus Finnigan sitting on his bed. " Who did what?" I asked confused.

" Harry, where were you when Malfoy offered Ron those tickets?" Seamus questioned.

" Oh, what can't you believe?"

" First, why Malfoy would give him tickets like that. Second, if it was me I would've kept them and not gave them back." Seamus explained.

One month had passed and Ron was still not speaking to Hermione or me. I woke up by myself for a change and realized that I had only 15 minutes to eat breakfast. Man, this is all Ron's fault. If he was speaking to me, I wouldn't have to eat in 10 minutes, get to class, and get dressed in five. I quickly got dressed and headed to the great hall. When I was almost there, a hand grabbed my arm. I turned around and saw the kid who wasn't speaking to me. Yep that's right folks it was Ron. " Harry, listen. I'm sorry about the way I've been acting. It's stupid of me to be mad at you just because you like someone that I don't." Ron told me apologetically.

I raised an eyebrow. What had caused him to see that? " Really? What in the world happened to see that you are stupid?" I asked sarcastically.

" I AM NOT STUPID! I meant that I made a stupid mistake in being mad at you. Not stupid like I get bad grades. I guess talking to Ginny straightened me out. She said ' Ron if I were to start dating Harry would you stop speaking to me?' I guess she got me thinking. I thought ' am I going to ruin all my relationships just because they like someone I don't like or I don't want them to like?'" Ron told me.

I took a moment to take in everything Ron had just said. " Don't worry Ron, I forgive you."

" I still don't like-" Ron started.

" Yeah, I know. You don't like Draco." I told him.

I then realized I only had five minutes to eat breakfast. Forget you Breakfast! I told Ron bye and went to get my potions book. Why on days when I don't get breakfast do I always have potions? Great, just great potions on an empty stomach.

On my way to potions, I had the unfortunate luck of running into Fred and George. " Guess what Harry!" Fred said.

" Snape got fired?" I asked hopefully.

" No, but it does deal with him," George replied giving me a hint.

" he got pneumonia?" I asked with hope in my voice.

" Wrong again. Let me just tell you," Fred replied.

" Good, I don't have time for this."

" I heard from this Ravenclaw girl who heard from this Slytherin boy who heard Snape talking to

Malfoy that apparently McGonagall likes Snape." Fred finished.

I started to laugh. That was funny. " Good one guys. I almost believed you for a second. that is a nice rumor that you started but you should really take credit for it and not blame it on Malfoy."

I then left for potions leaving them in the dust. I walked into potions class and saw everyone already in their seats. " I'm so pleased that you have decided to join us today, Potter!" Snape said.

" You mean I'm late?" I asked sarcastically.

Snape gave me the look and said that I lost five points. Like I care about five points. " Sorry you've been having trouble with MC!" I muttered as I sat down.

Snape raised an eyebrow. I think he thought I was being weird. " MC? Who are you talking about Potter?"

" Like you Care!" I smarted off.

" Five more points for smarting off. I will take more if you don't tell me who you are talking about!" Snape yelled.

" FINE! I'm talking about Professor McGonagall." I told him angrily.

**** DRACO MALFOY****

Wait just one minute, how in the world did Potter know about the lie I told Snape? This was the most confusing Potions class I had ever had. " I see, Potter that will be all," Snape told Harry.

" Today class we will be working on an aging potion. If done correctly, you should be about one to three months older or younger depending on which one you use." Snape told us.

Can you say Boooooooooooooooring? The first part potions was more interesting. I wanted to find out how Harry knew about my little lie. " I will pick your partners. Weasley you will be with Zabini. Potter you will be with Malfoy. Granger you will be with McCormick…" Snape said rattling off names of students.

I decided to stop listening to him since he was beginning to become very boring. I got up and sat next to Harry. You know that weird thing I was telling you about. I know what it is. The thing is I think I'm starting to like Harry… I mean actually like him as a friend. It started a couple weeks ago when I realized that I wasn't even trying to be nice to Harry. " You get the ingredients Draco okay?" Harry asked me.

" Sure," I mumbled.

On my way to get the ingredients, I heard Blaise talking to Ron. " Ron just hear me out okay?" Blaise asked.

" Nothing you say, Zabini will convince me that Malfoy is actually a good person." Ron told him.

" Listen, he was taught by his father to be mean to Gryffindors and hate the Weasley family and Harry Potter. He only did it because of his fear of his dad and he thought it was okay. Now that his dad is out of the picture, he's not so bad. Plus once you get to know him, you'll see what a good kid he actually is." Blaise finished.

I smiled; Blaise always was a good persuader. " Fine, I'll try to be his friend. If I decide I hate him, don't get mad okay?" Ron replied.

" Okay, that's fine with me as long as you give Draco a chance." Blaise said.

I then went and got the ingredients. When I got back Harry said," What took you so long, Draco?"

" Oh, I stopped to hear Blaise's conversation with Ron." I said before I could stop myself.

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME! I can't believe this! I am actually telling him private stuff. What is going on? I'm turning into a complete mudblood lover freak.

" Earth to Draco… Earth to-" I heard Harry saying.

" What?" I asked confused.

" I ASKED what Blaise and Ron were talking about." Harry said, obviously he was getting very aggravated.

What should I tell him? By George, I think I have it. What? I'm a quick thinker? Well, of course I am… my father taught me to answer people's questions quick. " They were talking about who they thought would win the Gryffindor-Slytherin Quidditch match next week." I told him.

Harry just nodded. After Potion's class I went up to Hermione, took out her present, and handed it to her. Since Ron was going to give me a chance I figured now would be a good time to give it to her. " Draco, what is this?" She asked.

" Just open it," I told her.

She opened it and found a box, after she opened the box she saw a ring. My mom had given me the ring when I was thirteen. She told me Sirius had given her the ring when they went out and she had forgotten to give it back when they broke up. I told Hermione this before asking my question. " So Hermione will you be my girlfriend?" I asked.

" Um…" Hermione said.
