Chapter 9
"You want WHAT?" Eliza exclaimed.
"A date, is that too much to ask?" Draco said nonchalantly.
"Oh right, and where exactly do you intend on having this 'date' mister?"
"Well, since we'll be going to Hogsmeade this weekend I was thinking that would work out perfectly, what do you say?"
Eliza stared incredulously at him. What was she supposed to say? This guy gave her the creeps every time he looked at her and now he was expecting her to go out with him? I don't think so.
"No."
Draco looked shocked.
"Pardon?" He asked in an unnaturally high voice.
"I said no. I don't want to go out with you. I don't even know you."
"This is about Potter isn't it?"
"No, and even if it were I wouldn't be telling you about it. You have absolutely no right to be asking me out in the first place. You've been rude to me and my friends since the day I met you, you don't know the first thing about me, I don't think we've even been properly introduced. So forget your stupid plan, it won't work." Eliza spat out at him.
Draco kept his poise and composure through all this and by the time she was done, he wore a rather bored expression.
"Are you quite done?" He asked lazily.
"No. You need to keep out of my business and Harry's business and every other Gryffindors business for that matter. You do know that nobody likes you, right?"
"Oh I am so wounded by your oh-so-significant words. Do you think I really care what you Gryffindors think about me? I have better things to do with my time Dishque." He drawled.
"Then why are you asking me out?" Eliza snapped.
"Because I want to help you. You seem like my sort of girl, I can get you in with the right crowd."
"As I said the day we met, I'm perfectly content with where I am. Thank you."
And with that she turned on her heel and headed to her next class. The nerve of that boy, thinking he could manipulate her feelings, make her fall for his "class act." She hated him. And she had never hated anyone before.
"First time for everything." She muttered as she entered the Transfiguration classroom.

"I have the best idea Lex." Eliza said, approaching her friend after classes were over on Friday. By then Alexa had of course heard of everything that went down with Draco the day before.
"Ooh, are we sneaking out tonight?" Alexa asked excitedly.
"No, much, much better."
She leaned over to whisper her brilliant idea into her ear.
"Oh! Wicked!"
"I know, I'm so evil."

Draco walked into the dungeon, ready to get to bed and forget about everything that had happened that week. He had never, in all his life, been turned down by a woman. Not with who his family was and especially who his father was. Every girl wanted a piece of him, being pure Malfoy and all.
So you can only imagine how shocked he was when he was turned down by little Gryffindor Eliza Dishque. Not only embarrassing, but also very ego deflating.
"Something is wrong with that girl." He mumbled as he said the password and walked into the Slytherin common room.
'She just needs some training.' He thought with a sly grin.
"EEHH! Draco! Darling! Oh how I've missed you today!" Luna Morrison exclaimed as she draped herself over Draco before he could even enter the room fully.
Draco promptly shrugged her off and brushed the spot where she had grabbed him. How annoying could one person get? And this was the girl his father wanted him to marry? What a joke.
"Oh crumpet! I got your note today, and the flowers and candy too! Of course I will forgive you! How could I not?" She again jumped on him placing kisses all over his face.
Again, Draco pried the small blonde off of him and wiped his face with his cloak.
"What are you talking about woman? I didn't send you anything of the sort." He replied to her exclamation.
"Oh but you did! I got it all. And your poem was written so beautifully too! Oh sweety, I just LOVE you!"
She threw herself on him again, this time causing him to lose his balance and topple over onto the floor.

The Gryffindor table was alive with talk of the little prank Eliza and Alexa had played on Draco Malfoy the night before.
"You guys are so bad!" Hermione exclaimed.
Alexa and Eliza looked at each other and replied at the same time, "We know."
"You want WHAT?" Eliza exclaimed.
"A date, is that too much to ask?" Draco said nonchalantly.
