Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. Do you really think J.K Rowling would
write this story?
A/N: OK, I'm really sorry about how long this chapter took. I've had a very hectic first term at school. Luckily, I have two weeks of holidays, and so I should be able update this story twice!!!
A/N: Please excuse the lameness of this chapter. It's one of those chapters that are really boring but needed to get on with the story.
CHAPTER 6: Cousin Bonding
That afternoon, Rochelle put the plan into action. Very reluctantly, she decided to talk to Draco.
After lunch, she walked into the Slytherin Common Room (password: Parsletounge) to discover her cousin sitting with his two cronies - Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle. He was boasting to them about something. Rochelle sighed and reluctantly made her way to where they were sitting.
'And then I said to McGonagall, you can shove your transfigured cup right up your transfigured ar-,' Draco noticed Rochelle standing next to his chair. 'What do you want?'
'Can I talk to you for a moment?' said Rochelle. 'Alone?'
Draco frowned suspiciously for a moment. 'Why?'
'I just want to ask a few questions.'
Draco nodded, stood up, and walked to a secluded corner of the Common Room. Rochelle reluctantly followed him.
'What is it?' he asked when she reached him.
'I was just wondering how things were going with you,' said Rochelle. 'How's fourth year? Made any new enem-I mean, made any new friends?'
'What's made you Miss Care-n-Share all of a sudden?' asked Draco suspiciously.
'I just want to know how you're going,' snapped Rochelle. She really couldn't stand the little brat. 'You are my favourite cousin after all.' This last bit was said with gritted teeth.
Draco gave her another suspicious look, which she held, trying to look as approachable as possible. Then his face melted and he burst into tears.
'I hate it!!!! My grades are terrible, no one likes me and that blasted Harry Potter is acting like he's better then everyone else. Plus, I don't know who to ask for the Yule Ball!!!' he sobbed.
Rochelle didn't know what to do. She'd never seen Draco like this before. She'd never seen anyone like this before.
Slowly she reached out her arm and patted him gingerly on the arm.
'There there,' she said mechanically. 'Everything will be alright.'

The five Ravenclaw Sixth Years looked at Rochelle expectantly as she walked into the Great Hall for dinner. Maybe after tea they would get a private meeting with Vik!
Rochelle walked over to the Ravenclaw table.
'Sorry guys,' she said. 'Draco's got too many personal problems to even think about introducing Krum to us. Looks like you're going to have to think up of a new plan.'
'But that was our only plan!!!' cried Jessica pitifully.
A/N: OK, that was a really crap chapter. I apologize deeply to you all. Hopefully, the next one will be better!!!
