The Talent Show - 2
~CHAPTER 02~
Draco Malfoy sauntered into the Great Hall flanked by his 'bodyguards' Crabbe and Goyle.
"Uh..Do you think there will be mince pies for dinner, boss?" asked Crabbe, misguidedly thinking that he had started an interesting topic of conversation.
"How many times have I told you numbskull, not to call me 'Boss'!? We're not gangsters. Now quiet! Here comes the Dream Team."
Harry Potter and his friend Ronald Weasley had just entered the Great Hall talking animatedly.
"The Talent Show.."
"Just what you need to.."
"No, don't do that act.."
Word and phrases floated over to Draco. He beckoned to his goons and walked towards Potter and Weasley.
"Well, well. Look who's here. Planning for the Talent Show, boys?"
"Sod off Malfoy." Muttered Ron.
"Tut. Tut. That isn't the way to speak to your Head-Boy." His voice went soft and silky. "Better watch your language, Weasley or else.."
"Or else what?" asked Harry, hlf-defiant and half-angry.
"Or else I'll be deducting points from Gryffindor." Replied Drcao with a smirk.
He raised his voice. "Anyone care to bet on what talents Potter and Weasley will divulge at the Talent Show? I'd say that Potter here will show off his 'lightning' shaped scar."
He did a mock imitation of Harry. "Ooh! My scar hurts. Beware! The Dark Lord is near." He laughed derisively. "And Weasley here will belch slugs for us."
His last remark was greeted by guffaws of laughter from Crabbe and Goyle.
Draco was surprised. He didn't think that they would catch on that easily.
Just then, Hermione came running up.
"Ron! Harry! What are you two doing? I saved you seats and have been waiting for the past ten minutes! The Talent Show is about to start."
"Keep your hat on Granger." Said Draco overbearingly. "Potter and Weasley were just taking some pointers from me for the Talent Show. I have some tips for you too. You could act like a beaver. With your long front teeth and-"
He broke off as he realised that Ron was coming towards him menacingly with his fists raised.
Hermione held him back saying, "Ron! Don't start a fight. Just ignore him. He wants you to pick a quarrel with him so that he can deduct points from Gryffindor."
"Ooh, Weasel is angry that I insuted his girl-friend! Hey! Weasel and Beaver! It makes a real cute couple, doesn't it? Come to me later Weasley. I'll give you some tips on how to woo the mudblood." Draco turned and walked towards the Slytherin table, an insolent smirk on his face.
