Chapter four,
Malfoy was very angry. He and Pansy had been together for a month at the end of the fifth year. Since then she had not been able to leave him alone. Not that she had been able to before either but now it had become much worse.
He had gotten at least ten letters from her over the summer and now only a week had passed and he knew a rumour would start about them again. Sewer MacPruney wasn't exactly quiet and he was very popular around all the Slytherins. Anybody would listen to a new like that.
He saw Vincent and Greg standing talking to two large Rawenclaw girls with each a raspberry muffin in their hands. They seemed to be in a wild discussion about something. Draco went up to them feeling like talking to someone.
'Hey.' he said but none of them seemed to notice him.
'And those chocolate cakes!' Vincent said enthusiastically and one of the Rawenclaw girls nodded eagerly, taking a large bite out of her muffin.
'I love those! And the buns with cream filling!' she replied just as excited. Draco didn't like what he was seeing. He was surrounded by four people, all at least a head taller than himself, and they actually had something to discuss. Without him!
'Those are absolutely my favourites!' Greg exclaimed rubbing his big stomach. 'I can save one and give it to you after dinner,' he said turning to one of the girls. To Draco's astonishment the girl smiled kindly.
'That would be very nice,' she said and to Draco's disgust stroke Greg's chin.
'I want to talk to you two!' Draco said and to his relief Vincent and Crabbe heard him now.
'What is he doing here?' one of the girls said looking down at Draco like he was some dirt stuck on her pants.
'He has something to say to us,' Vincent explained and Draco was pleased that he hadn't realised the angry tone of her voice. 'I will see you around then later, Susanne, right?' he added a bit worried. The girl Susanne who liked the cream filling muffins smiled again.
'Of course, sweetie,' she said and surprisingly kissed his cheek. Then she and the other walked away.
'Who was that?' Draco asked as fast as he was sure the girls were out of earshot.
'Susanne and Pamela,' Vincent explained.
'Pamela is a prefect!' Greg added proudly. He looked kind of dazed out as if he was kind of dreaming. 'Anyways. we'd better be going to class.'
Malfoy was chocked. Greg had never in his whole life remembered to go to class! But he didn't say anything. Instead followed the two boys.
