Much Ado About Hogwarts

Chapter 7 – The Evilness of Malfoy

Disclaimer: I am not J.K. Rowling, so I hope she doesn't sue me (of course, she should be too busy with that book five to sue poor little college students.) I don't think I need to worry about Shakespeare suing me, seeing as he can't figure out who he is, and whoever it is is most likely dead.

A/N: I am greedy for more wonderful reviews! I love you guys! Reviewers are the best! Remember, the characters don't know Malfoy is evil.

When Harry and Bill came into the common room, they were immediately overwhelmed by the smell of cologne. They laughed hysterically upon discovering the culprit, a very neatly dressed (for a change) Ron Weasley. "I am a changed man," he announced triuphantly.

Harry burst into laughter. "Changed into WHAT?"

Bill looked him over. "Could it be my sweet little brother is in love?"

Ron became defensive. "No!" He stormed out of the common room in a huff. The other boys just laughed.

There was a knock on the portrait. "What's the password?"

Harry shook his head. "Neville must have forgotten again. Gobbledegoo!" He called. The portrait opened. "Malfoy, you're not supposed to be here."

"I know, I'm sorry, but I need to speak to you, both of you." He looked at Harry. "Is it true you're going with Ginny Weasley to the ball?"

"Duh," Bill replied.

"You would not say 'duh' if you knew what I know. I'm very sorry, but I have to tell you this as a friend, even if it makes me seem like a jerk." He paused for dramatic effect. "She's cheating on you, Potter. I know you probably don't believe me. I can prove it. I can sneak you into the Slytherin common room tonight. Bring your invisibility cloak. She is meeting Crabbe there tonight. The password is mwahahahaha."

Bill frowned. "Your password is evil laughter?"

Malfoy shrugged. "Snape's idea."

Harry thought for a minute. "Okay," he said. "I really do think Ginny is innocent, but just in case I see something, I'll humiliate her at the ball."

Malfoy looked impressed. "That's pretty evil. . . for a Gryffindor."
