Draco was sitting, stretched out, on a velvety sofa in the Slytherin Common Rom. It was after dinner and there was a big commotion. Some (not many) had started on their homework, but more than 80 % were sitting around socialising. It was after all a Slytherin Common Room.

A high shriek of laughter pierced the room. Everyone turned around to see Pansy laughing her head off. She, a lot of other girls, Crabbe and Goyle were sitting around Draco.

"You w.what?!? She screamed in between the laughter.

"I'm going to ask Hermione Granger out." Goyle replied matter of factly.

Another shriek as Pansy and the other girls following suit laughed hysterically. "And why would you want to go out with such a freak?" Pansy asked.

"I.don't think she's a freak" muttered goyle and the added, "Do you Draco?"

Draco leaned back lazily and shrugged. "Don't you ever talk about anything else other than that mudblood?"

Goyle scowled and Draco stood up and gathered his towel. "If you don't mind, I'm going to take a shower in the prefect's bathroom."

He strolled off, swinging his towel behind him shoulder, and the girls surrounding Pansy all giggled identically, standing up and following Draco, still furiously giggling. Goyle scowled further so that his eyebrows joined.

Draco set his towel on the rack and looked in the mirror. He saw a slim boy of fifteen look back at him through serious blue/grey eyes. He sighed and took off his outer robe, placing it on the bench. Starting to unbutton his shirt, he heard a soft giggle and he turned around sharply.

Hiding behind another bench, Draco could clearly see the heavily make upped face of Pansy all her petty friends.

Rolling his eyes, he went towards them and said loudly, "If you have nothing better to do than peer at people taking a shower then I seriously believe that you should consider getting a life."

Pansy stood up from her hiding spot her cheeks flushed red. Draco had never talked to her in this way before. She was PANSY PARKINSON, their parents had always planned for them to be united ever since their births.

Draco, noticing the shocked look on Pansy's face replied, his tone softer, "I'm sorry Pansy, but you do have to realise that you are behaving very immaturely."

Pansy's lips tightened together and she slapped Draco very hard. Gesturing for her surprised and amused friends, she stormed out of the Prefect's bathroom.

Draco locked the door and frowned, his cheek pink and throbbing slightly. He would much rather be friends with Potter gang than them lot.
