Two months passed and Mark was taken off the team for his lack of
sportsmanship with some of the teams. I was declared the new captain for
Ravenclaw and I made sure we won this year. I doubled the practices and
told them that if we wanted to win the Quidditch cup, we needed to train
hard. I was relieved that they agreed with my suggestion and didn't start a
strike or something. Because of the numerous training sessions we had,
Ravenclaw was in first place and was going to play Slytherin for the cup.
Draco was right; we were going to play them again.
That match wasn't for a month or so, and I planned to practice even more than before. I made some of the practices optional for those who were really fed up with me. Actually, I wanted to see who'd come and who was really dedicated to the team.
I forgot my stupid alarm clock since I was busy writing notes in my play book. I woke up at 8:00. That gave me ten minutes to get to transfiguration! I quickly hoped into my clothes and skipped breakfast. I ran through the corridors and managed not to run into anyone. I looked at my watch. It was almost on TRNASFIGURATION!!! I had to hurry if I didn't want to be late. I finally reached the red door into Professor McGonagall's classroom. I rammed it open to find that everyone was in his or her seats already. Draco gave me a smirk and turned to one of his friends and whispered something. His friend laughed so hard that he almost fell out of his seat. Stupid Draco.
I sat down at a desk near Piper as she gave me a, "Just made it" look. I pretended to swipe sweat off my forehead and sighed. That was probably the sixth time my alarm hadn't gone off all year. There has to be some spell that makes sure my alarm goes off every morning...
My thoughts were broken as a cat came through the door. It morphed into the familiar Professor McGonagall and stood in front of her desk.
"As you all know, today is where we start to investigate your animagus form. The animal will usually be related to your personality..."
"And why is your form a cat, Proffesor?" Draco snickered. The class burst into laughter as McGonagall tried to calm down the class. I had to admit, it was kind of funny (in Egypt, the cat is the symbol for 'female' because, um...::cough:: Well, you get what I mean...).
"AND SO, AS WE CONTINUE ON. . .You will get with a partner and ask questions about each other. The other person has to make a good conclusion about what animal you will transform in at the end of 7th year. I have made a list of partners...Now where did I put that piece of parchment. . ." She asked herself and opened a drawer in her desk.
I crossed my fingers that I would be with Piper and she did the same.
"Ah, here it is...yes, now, Pansy with Blaise. Goyle with Mark. Piper with Crabbe..."
We both let out a sigh as I gave her a sympathetic look. She was being paired up with the troll who couldn't count...poor soul.
"...Robin with Draco..."
No way. There had to be a mistake. Do I dare look over at Draco? I turned and saw him smiling at me deviously. I banged my head on my transformation book and whimpered silently as I grabbed my book bag and sat next to Draco.
"Hm...I guess we're suppose to ask questions, eh?" Draco said and started putting an arm around my shoulder. I stabbed him with my quill as he winced in pain and immediately took his hands off me, "Anti-social, are we?"
"Sure." I said sighing and decided that we'd better start the assignment, or we'll both have detention, "So, what's your favorite hobby?"
"You already know." He said flatly.
"Quidditch. Um, Ok." I said as I wrote it down on a piece of parchment. It was just a guess, but I assumed I guessed right since he didn't say anything.
"Have you ever kissed anyone before?" Draco said waiting for my response as he gave out a small smirk.
"Can't you ask questions that are a little less PERSONAL?" I said not believing what he had just asked.
"No. I REALLY want to get an accurate vision of the animal you're going to transform in, ya know?" He teased, knowing that that wasn't the real reason.
"No," I said quickly. Draco's eyebrows went up with surprise as he got closer to me, "And I don't plan to kiss anyone anytime soon." I added quickly as Draco frowned.
"Ok, now ask me a question." He said tauntingly and smirked.
"Fine. How many people have you made out with since the first year of Hogwarts?" Ha. That's what I call revenge.
"Well, Miss. These-Questions-Are-Too-Personal, I lost count in my 3rd year at Hogwarts. I would have to say around the hundreds though..." Draco said and cocked his eyebrows following his smirk.
"Wait...So I've never kissed anyone, and you've snogged more than 100 girls...?!" I said in disbelief.
"Seems that way. I could change that though..." Draco said tauntingly and grinned.
"Piss off." I said frowning as my eyes threw daggers at him.
"Ok, my turn to ask a question. Why do you always keep your hair in a ponytail?" Draco asked curiously. He really did seem curious; the way his eyes seemed filled with wonder really made me a little surprise. And I little scared...
"I don't know. I guess I don't have time to put it any other way..." I said truthfully and shrugged my shoulders.
"Why don't you put your hair down, then?" He asked. Since when does he care? Since when does he NOTICE?
"It gets in my way." I said uncertain what exactly he wanted to find out.
"Well, I think I've determined what animal you'll probably transform in." Draco said seeming certain of what my animagus form was.
"What?" I asked suspiciously.
"A stallion." He said flatly.
"A stallion? Why?" I questioned. A...Stallion? Ok then...
"Because you're cautious when it comes to meeting new people, but you'll kick anyone who does something you don't like. And because of the PONY tail thing..." He answered and chuckled.
"That's actually...interesting..." I said quite dazzled that he thought I was a stallion. Was I really that shy? Now that he mentions it, I am kind of shy, and I do beat-up people that do something I find objectionable.
"I didn't mean a stallion was totally terrible." Draco said quickly. I guess Draco saw the confused and shock expression on my face, "So what am I?"
"Hmm, you would be... a bunny." I said grinning cunningly.
"Really...and why is that?" Draco asked waiting for an explanation for the cute and furry animal I had chosen for him.
"Because bunnies aren't afraid to jump into relationships and their main purpose is to reproduce. They don't last long with their partner and soon find another one." My grin had turned into a short chuckle as I looked at Draco's face.
"Does the cuteness of a bunny have to do with anything?" He asked desperately trying to find a little way out of the "many mating partners" thing.
"Sure. If it makes you feel better." I said and laughed.
Professor McGonagall came to our desks with a piece of parchment and a quill.
"And what have you presumed as your transformation animals?" She asked curiously.
"A bunny and a stallion." Draco said trying not to laugh.
"Ah, interesting. And why did you choose a bunny for Miss Blaisyer?" McGonagall said, completely unaware to the fact that DRACO was the bunny.
I couldn't help myself. I burst into laughter. I could see that Draco was trying to hold his reputation as the sophisticated charmer as he tried hard to keep the laughter in.
"Actually, I'm the bunny." Draco said, at this point a small chuckle coming out.
"And WHY is Mr. Malfoy the bunny?" McGonagall asked curiously.
"You DON'T want to know..." I said running out of oxygen as I kept on laughing.
McGonagall gave as both awkward stares and went on to the next group as she wrote down our presumed animals next to our names.
I looked at Draco and cocked my eyebrows, sort of saying, "That was amusing". He did the same and we both started laughing. I don't know why, but when I lifted my head back up, I saw a Draco I had never seen before. He was...Happy. The cold and cruel guy I once knew now had a spark of merriment in him. He must've seen that I was looking at him strangely because he stopped laughing and stared at me.
"What's a matter Robin? Have you suddenly found boy potential in me?" Draco asked, his trademark, not long after, following his question.
"In your dreams." I scoffed. But then the words passed through my head. Did I find Draco appealing? Ew, NO! I shook my head in disbelief that I had actually asked myself that and turned back to reality.
Transfiguration had finished and everyone was going through the red door and to their next class.
"See ya, bunny." I said mockingly as I went down the stairs to potions.
"Meet you at potions, Stallion." He said and went the other way.
Stallion, eh? At least it's not "cow".
That match wasn't for a month or so, and I planned to practice even more than before. I made some of the practices optional for those who were really fed up with me. Actually, I wanted to see who'd come and who was really dedicated to the team.
