A/N- Okay I have no idea if anyone's reading this fic but seeing as there's only about 2 or so parts to go i've decided to finish it. This will probably be the last fic I write because at the moment it's only gotten 5 reviews and considering this is the 5th chapter that's not very many. But any on with the fic.
On the Hogwarts Express.
I was telling Crabbe and Goyle about how father wanted to send me to Durmstrang but how mother talked him out of it. Thank Merlin she did , I shudder to think of what I would have turned out like if I went there. I don't know why I even bothered to tell them , I doubt they have the shared mental capacity to understand the simplest conversations. I heard the door to the compartment next to mine quietly shut , so naturally I went over and pressed my ear against it , in an attempt to figure out who was eavesdropping on my conversation. When I heard Hermiones voice it wasn't really a surprise , but what she said and how she said it was.
" So he thinks Durmstrang would have suited him , does he ? I wish he had gone , then we wouldn't have to put up with him." Normally this would of crushed me , but the way she said it , at least from where I was standing it sounded like she was upset about my wanting to go to another school , especially one with a bad name like Durmstrang.
Later on I was growing bored of a one sided conversation with Crabbe and Goyle , so I decided to go and cause some trouble with two very annoying Gryffindors and one beautiful , intelligent , sharp tounged , quick witted , caring , special girl who I resolved not to insult unless she provoked me.
I heard part of their conversation from outside the door and decided to join in.
"We saw right up close , as well." The Weasel was bragging. " We were in the Top Box -" I took this oppurtunity to butt in.
" For the first and last time in your life , Weasley."
I stood in the doorway with Goyle and Crabbe flanking me like two giant apes.
"Don't remember asking you to join us , Malfoy." Scarface said coolly.
I spotted some awful looking rag hanging over what looked like a cage , it was so old it could only be Weasleys' so I called him on it.
" Weasley ...what is that ?" I asked pointing to the disgusting cloth , with what looked like a moldy lace cuff ?
Weasley made to tuck the material out of sight , but my seekers reflexes were to fast and I grabbed the thing and pulled , not that I really wanted to touch it.
Holding what I relized must be Weasleys robes for the ball , I was in ecstasy , Hermione would never go with him , in these.
" Look at this !" I said showing the third hand robes to Crabbe and Goyle. " Weasley , you weren't thinking of wearing these were you , I mean - they were very fashionable in about 1890.."
Then the little pig told me to eat dung , and snatched his filthy robes away , I found this incredibly funny , because the Weasleys were so poor dung was most likely a regular meal around their house - Breakfast , Morning Tea , Lunch , Afternoon Dung.
And because I was laughing Crabbe and Goyle must of thought something incredibly humourous had happened and cracked up as well.
I decided to see if they knew anythimg more about this Tri-Wizard Tournement I've been hearing about.
" So...going to enter Weasley ? Going to try and bring a bit of Glory to the family name ? There's money involved as well you know...you'd be able to afford some decent robes if you won."
" What are you talking about ?" The one who had more gold than brain cells and that's saying something snapped.
" Are you going to enter ?" I repeated for the more mentally challenged of my audience. " I suppose you will Potter ? You never miss a chance to show off , do you?" I sneered at Scarface feeling as though I haven't insulted him enough today.
Then Hermione piped up from behind her book.
"Either explain what you're on about or go away , Malfoy" She said , sure she said it a little testily but I'd be testy too if I had to hang about with two brainless lumps for the whole of the school year, hang on a minute , I do have to hang about with two brainless lumps for the whole of the school year , bugger.
But she didn't tell me to piss off , she gave me an option and she was half way polite about it to. I couldn't help the gleeful smile spreading across my face. Focusing my attention to back to Weasley I said.
" Don't tell me you don't know , You've got a brother and a father in the ministry and you don't know ? My God , my father told me about it ages ago... heard it from Cornelius Fudge. But the fathers always associated with the top people at the Ministry...maybe your fathers too junior to know about it Weasley...yes...they probably don't talk about important stuff in front of him.."
Forcing a laugh I decided to get out of there , satisfied with the knowledge I knew more than them.
The Entrance Hall.
I thought it was quite funny when McGonagall slipped on the water Peeves had drenched the floor with. I thought it was less funny , however , when she grabbed Hermione around the neck , effectively almost strangling her. Bloody incompetent Proffesors who sacrifice their students saftey for the sake of preserving their petty pride. Luckily Hermione seemed to be fine , although a little sore around the neck area and I found myself longing to kiss it better.
Care Of Magical Creatures
Well this is just brilliant isn't it , we have to take care of creatures that can kill us once again , and when Hagrid told us his little theory of the defining features of the different sexes I felt I needed to speak up.
" Well I can certainly see why we're trying to keep them alive. Who wouldn't want pets that can burn , sting and bite all at once ?"
Not surprisingly it was Hermione who answered back , she seems rather protective of the overgrown git , perhaps I should be nicer to him.
" Just because they're not very pretty , it doesn't mean they're not useful.Dragon blood's amazingly magical , but you wouldn't want a dragon for a pet , would you ?"
As a matter of fact yes , I would , but I didn't say that , it could be used against me later on. And on a different note she seemed to take that comment a little personally , I didn't say anything about them being ugly. Maybe she was really talking about herself, saying that she may not be pretty but she's useful , I don't know why she'd say that though , she's the prettiest girl i've ever seen.
A/N- Please , Please , Please review , I haven't gotten any reviews for the past 2 chapters. Is it really that bad ?
