Chapter 10
"You anger me Dishque, I won't deny it. I can't say I'm all too happy with you. And don't even try blaming it on your little friend over there."
"I wasn't about to." Eliza snapped.
Draco had been prancing in front of her for the past fifteen minutes, ranting about how much he disliked her.
"Just tell me you hate me and get it over with Draco. Cuz you're really wasting my time here."
Draco crossed the room quickly, grabbed her under her chin and forced her to look at him.
"If you knew who I was you would NOT talk to me in the tone you do. And you would know that a Malfoy is never a waste of time." He snarled.
He jerked his hand away and went back to pacing the floor.
"She still thinks all that stuff came from you doesn't she?" Eliza asked proudly.
:"Yes she does! And I fully intend on escorting you down to see her and apologize. She's rather broken up about it."
"It's not my fault that you don't send your girlfriend flowers."
"Do you ever know when to shut up?"
"Obviously not."
"You are really getting on my nerves now."
"Good, that would be the point."
Draco groaned and threw his hands up in the air. There was no winning with this girl. He was starting to dislike her more an more with every minute he spent with her.
"You know, on second thought, I don't think I want my friends to meet you." He told her.
"And why's that? You don't want me to deflate your ego in front of them?" Eliza taunted.
"Don't mess with me right now, Dishque. I'm rather pissed off with you at the moment."
"As you would say, I am SO frightened. Watch me flee in terror!" Eliza's voice dripped with sarcasm.
Nope, he did not like this girl.
"Ok, leave now." He pointed to the door of the empty classroom that they had occupied for the past half hour. "You are really getting under my skin. But expect payback Dishque. And expect it hard."
"Is that a promise or a threat?" Eliza asked with one eyebrow raised.
"Out!" He barked and gestured to the door.
Eliza took the hint and headed for the Gryffindor common room.
"Oh yes, lovely chatting with you. I hate you by the way." She said as she walked out the door.
"Women."

"So, who's all on our hitlist tonight eh Lexie?" Eliza asked plopping down on her bed across from Alexa.
"Hmm lets see. Luna Morrison, as always. Oh and Oliver Wood. he broke up with Janie today, the creep. No good reason either! Just left her crying out in the hallway!"
Oliver Wood had returned to Hogwarts that year to take over for Madame Hooch as Quidditch and flying instructor. He had been going out with a girl in Eliza and Alexa's class, a Slytherin. Janie McPherson. Alexa was pretty good friends with Janie and thought her and Oliver were perfect for each other.
"Oh that's terrible. Definetly him yes. Anyone else?" Eliza asked.
"Hmm. let's see, yea I'm gonna have to add Snape tonight."
Eliza looked shocked, "Snape? Normally you love Snape!"
"Yea, well today he gave me a detention for spilling my cauldron contents on Pansy Parkinson. You know how I work with her?" Eliza nodded. "Yea, well I 'accidentally' knocked the cauldron off the table and it landed conveniently in her lap. Well he wasn't too happy bout that, gave me dention for tomorrow night and a 1500 word essay due Wednesday. Freak."
This was their nightly ritual. Ranting about their terrible days and who they'd just love to kill. Alexa swore one of these days they would go on a spree, get rid of all the people who stood in their way.
"Who's on yours?" Alexa asked.
"Who else!" Eliza exclaimed as if it should be the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh, Malfoy, yea I forgot about him. God I hate that kid."
"You're not the one who had to go through his lecture today. 'Oh my father is so powerful and mighty, yes he is. If he knew you were treating me this way he would have you locked away for the rest of your life!' Ugh, he's a brat."
"Only child." Alexa suggested.
"That would be my guest."
"Maybe he just needs love."
"Well he ain't getting it from me."
"Whatever, go to bed. You and Harry have a long day tomorrow." Alexa winked from behind the book she was reading.
Oh, right. Tomorrow. The "first date." Oh gosh, she was dreading this. She didn't even know why, Harry was a nice enough guy, she liked him just fine.
Oh well, 'probably just nerves.' She thought as she rolled over and drifted into her own little world.
"You anger me Dishque, I won't deny it. I can't say I'm all too happy with you. And don't even try blaming it on your little friend over there."
