*~* This chapter is certainly interesting. It's the first time Draco's introduced to the story,
so it's always interesting when he's around.
Anyway, please R&R (read and review) and enjoy the chapter! *~*
CHAPTER 5 - The Fight
Harry and Monica didn't speak to Ron and Emily for the rest of that week. Whenever Ron and Emily
entered the same room as them, they'd start talking in hushed voices.
Meanwhile, Ron and Emily had officially become "an item". Word spread around quickly and within a day and a half, almost all of Gryffindor knew, as well as most third years from other houses.
It was not until the next week in double potions with the Slytherins that they were all re-united. They were all working hard at their desks, with the absence of Draco and a few other Slytherins. All of a sudden, the door burst open and in came Draco, smirking, with his arm around a girl who the Gryffindor's only barely knew by name - Elyce. She wore thin glasses with a single, carved snake sitting on top of them. She had short, black hair and wore the same look as the boy who was standing next to her.
"Ah yes, as you can see, I've teamed up with Elyce, if you get what I mean." Draco said loudly, not caring that Snape was in the room. "She's my girlfriend."
"Now, now, Draco," Snape said, looking up from his homework-correcting. "Don't want to sound to big-headed, now, would we? Why don't you sit down."
Monica knew that if she had walked in sporting Harry like that, she would have gotten a three-month detention.
Draco and Elyce smirked and sat down together. After a long period of silence, Draco leaned over to Harry and whispered, "Yet another thing we both have in common, Potter. We both have a girl."
"Shut up Malfoy." Harry whispered back through gritted teeth. Malfoy looked a tad disappointed at Harry's retalliating comment. He thought for a moment, needing someone to taunt and torment, so he leaned over and whispered, a bit louder. "Hey, Scullperd girl. What's it like being with the famous Potter, eh? Bit of a novelty?"
Monica didn't even look up from her work. Draco knew he'd be able to break through to her if he kept going at it. "He's only famous because of his stupid scar. And he's not even special. If his stupid, mudblood mother hadn't been there..."
That was too much for Monica to take. She stood up, enraged. "Don't you DARE insult Harry!" And with that, she slapped him hard across the face.
Draco certainly wasn't expecting that - he fell back on his chair, caught just in time by Elyce.
"You slapped MY boyfriend?" Elyce said with a snarl. "Right, you're done for." And without even bothering to take her wand out of her robes, she punched Monica square in the nose.
Monica went flying, and hit the classroom wall with a thump. Emily and Ron had been watching the whole fight from a distance. Although they were both unphased by the whole fight, Emily especially was distraught to see her best friend hurt. She ran over to where Monica lay, unconscious. Ron went to Harry's side, and with a nod, they both took out their wands. Just as they were about to hex both Draco and Elyce and any other Slytherin that happened to be in their way when Snape stood up. "SILENCE!" He shouted. The whole class was suddenly quiet. He took his wand and revived Monica with a charm. She awoke groggily. "Wha...wha...where am I? What happened? Huh?"
"Morrow, take Scullperd to the Hospital Wing. Draco, you'd better go too." Snape snapped.
Emily helped a limping Monica to the door, followed by Draco, blood streaming down his nose.
"Potter, Weasley, detention for trying to hex Mr Malfoy and Ms Lambrou."
"But..." Ron started, but a penetrating stare from Harry cut him off.
"See me after class for your detention arrangements. Now, everyone, back in your seats and continue work."
Katie, who had been oblivious to the whole fight, was sitting in a corner, nose in book. "Katie, your sister's just been taken down to the hospital wing," Rebecca whispered. "Don't you care?"
"What? How? Everyone's just been doing their work...right?"
Rebecca rolled her eyes and continued her work.
