Chapitre 3: oh.. Hit it up with some français…. Haha.. Foo. Je ne suis pas française! (I'm not French!) I'm Filipino/Irish! Ok.. On to the story. In this Chapter I think the romance will fire up. Also some silliness.. I'm in that mode where you write the stupidest things!

The next few days in Potions were hell for the trio- especially Hermionie. She saw Helena as a threat to her reputation of being number one; and the day's lesson was just Hermionie and Helena raising their hands, answering correctly, and getting house points.

If Potions was hell to the trio- Defense Against the Dark Arts was HEAVEN. Even though the competition between Hermionie and Helena was still going on. Bethany was giving Draco and his two goons the worst time.

"Mr. Malfoy! The spell goes Dun-AIRY-us! Not DUNAIR-us! Maybe if you didn't wear so much gel things could seep into your brain," Bethany said loudly even though he was right in front of her.

Harry laughed as Beth winked at him and Ron. "Honestly! I didn't think he was that big of an idiot!" Harry said as Ron's wand came to him, "I mean, it is just a taking chant!"

"Oh boy, look who's been partnered up," Ron said as Harry turned to see Hermionie and Helena standing across from each other.

*Cat fight-- ooh I mean over at Mionie and Helaine.*

"So… We have to work together?" Hermionie said wincing.

"Hermionie, I thought you were brainy, if a person is standing in front of you, AFTER a DADA professor said 'you two are partners' then aren't those two people partners?" Helaine said checking her nails.

"Hah, I guess so. Look, I don't want to hate you. Yes, you are a Slytherin and I am a Gryffindor, but can't we be- Oh I don't know!- friends?"

Helaine smiled, " I could use a friend." She stuck out her hand to shake Hermionie's.

"Ok then, let me take your wand"

*Lunch*

"WHAT! YOU OUT OF ALL PEOPLE BEFRIENDED HELENA VALMONT!" Ron screamed.

"Oh Ron! There is nothing wrong with that! She's smart, I NEED to speak with a person just as smart as me sometimes," she said smiling.

"Hey, you calling me stupid?" Ron said pretending to glare. Harry and Hermionie laughed. Just then a large Eagle Owl swooped in and dropped a letter by Draco, he, after reading it, immediately stood up and left.

*Outside- Malfoy family carriage*

Draco stepped into the family's carriage to fing his mother, And father waiting for him. He stepped in, though it did not move.

"Yes father?"

"I assume you know that Helena Valmont now attends at your school?"

"Of course, sir"

"Do you know that I and Henri are like brothers?"

"Yes"

"Well, I want you to court Helena"

"What?! Why?"

"Because the only English nobility family that hasn't intermarried is the Malfoys and the Valmonts. She's a pureblood, and only my son deserves the best," Lucius finished as Draco sat grinning at his father and mother who in return did the same.

"Sure, why not," he said stepping out of the carriage as the two large black horses dragged it away. "Why not" he restated as the carriage was far away.

*Night time-Slytherin common room*

Helena sat in a silver overstuffed divan reading a large book Hermionie had leant her. Draco sat across from her gazing at her.

"Am I misguided or is that one of the mud blood's books?"

"So what if I am," she said turning the page of 'Hogwarts: A History' "What business is it of yours?" She said looking up at him. He looked at her marveled, like the first time they met. She wasn't in her school robes, she was wearing a large black sweater that had the neck torn off, and white short shorts, her hair was up in a messy bun. She looked even better in the firelight.

He moved to the seat next to her. "What if I want to make it my business?" he said leaning so that he breathed on her neck.

"Is Draco Malfoy trying to woo me over?" she said putting the book down to rub his neck. He kissed her neck. "Maybe I am."

She laughed a little and pushed him away, "then I'd say.: FUCK OFF, and don't ever call my friend a mud blood, because you'll never amount to her, YOU'RE the MUD BLOOD." She said as she stood up and ran up the steps to her dorm room.

'That went well' he thought has her left to his private room.

*Next day*

Helaine got up extra early as not to bump into Draco. Sure, she told him to fuck off, but she didn't disapprove his advances. He just insulted her friend. "Oh boy," she thought as she got in the shower.

Draco knew she was in the bathroom, he heard her go down the steps of the girl's dorm. 'Leave her Draco, you can try again tonight. Just leave Granger out of it.'

After she finished, she headed back into her dorm room that she shared with Pansy. She winced at Pansy half of the room. It was covered in dirt; old soiled cloths, remnants of spoiling food. She felt like going back into the shower. 'I can't believe she hasn't touched my things yet. Eww! Yuck! Yuck!' she though was she caught site of boxers under Pansy pillow. She changed quickly so she would have to be in there any more. She planned to owl her father to get her a separate room, like Draco.

"Mionie!" She called out to Hermionie who was sitting at a stair case.

"Helaine!" She said as Helena dropped her bags next to her.

"Oh Merlin, you do not want to know what Pansy has under her pillow," Helena said scratching herself thinking of the dirt.

"What! Tell me!" Hermionie said as she and Helena began to laugh.

"I don't know who's it is but, she had a pair of soiled boxers in her hands! Yuck, that house is so bloody disgusting. They get into each other bloody pants, no pun intended, more than that Tommy Lee guy and Pam Anderson did!"

Hermionie began to laugh loudly as third year students looked at the two of them. "You speak so vulgarly! I pity you! How do you live in there! Do those slime ball of guys just always put advances o you?"

"I kick 'em in the groin…" Helena said like an American hillbilly. " Come on! I'm Irish! I have to speak crudely, it's ethnic tradition. Let's get to class."

*Potions*

"Today, I will pair you up," Snap said as Helena and Hermionie came in together. None of the Slytherins nor Gryffindors were comfortable with the two unlikely friends. They merely shrugged and joined the huddle of there respective houses.

"Granger, Potter," Snape said, he must of heard Bethany gave the Slytherins a hard time so he didn't want to fan her fire buy giving Gryffindor hell.

"Draco, Ms. Valmont," He said as "awe" chants came out of most Slytherin mouths. She smiled at him as he pulled out her chair. The rest of the class was paired up with some one from the same house.

"Today, you shall make a skin color changing potion and one of you shall drink it, now don't worry I have antidotes for everyone," he sad as the ingredients and instructions appeared on the board. "Begin!"

"You drink it," Hermionie said to Harry.

"Only if I get to be mint green," he said as Hermionie pushed him.

"You drink it, " Helena said to Malfoy.

"What! No!"

"Yes! Draco please! It might ruin my skin tone," she said putting up her 'I'm a pureblood so hah!' attitude.

"Fine."

"Ok, I'm turning you into a bright purple!"

"Hey!" Draco said but it was too late she already added the violet into the mixed. She stuck her tongue out at him.

"Wait, if I drink this, then you go on a date with me," he said holding the flask away from his mouth.

"Fine," she said as he started to drink it. His face first went through stages of red, then finally intensified into a purple. She tried to contain her laughter, as Draco became angry.

"Ok, I'm sor--Hahaha! Purple!" She started to laugh. But no one took notice because all were gather around Harry's mint green face. He apparently wanted to mint green only to pretend he was a homosexual Slytherin. Snape pretended to be agitated but didn't do anything because of Bethany; but really was amused on how mush Harry was like James.

The multicolored students (all of which were boys) lined up to turn back into their normal color. Draco was in the back of the line. When all the boys were back to their original color it was Draco's turn. Snape handed the purple Draco a flask but, Neville Longbottom bumped into Snape and the last flak went crashing. Helena and Hermionie saw what happened.

"Oh my Merlin!" Hermionie said as Helena laughed at Draco.

"He's going to be purple for two hours!"

"Why?"

"Because that potion won't run out until two hours," she said looking sadly at a glaring Draco.

"Very good Helena, ten points," Snape said trying to contain his laughter.

"Don't you have anymore antidotes?!" Draco said rattled.

"No, I'm sorry, but that antidote take tome to prepare, and I ran out of stock," Snape said with a odd face (he was trying to look concerned but Draco's angry face and the purple clashed ever so nicely). To Draco's horror the bell rang. "Draco I'll let you keep your hood up, I'll write a pass to all your teachers."

"To bad, " Harry said to Ron, "I'll make Bethany make him take his hood off." Ron broke into a chortle.

*DADA*

Harry made sure he got to the class first to tell Bethany. "Ok Harry, but only this once and I have to give Slytherin 20 house points for what I'm about to do to him."

Draco came in with his hood on and a note. Bethany read the note.

"Take your hood off…" she said flatly. He looked at her straight in the eye and pulled down the hood. Bethany's solemn face broke into a distorted grin. She broke into a laughter. "Wow. Look what happened to Malfoy! I guess KARMA does get people like you back."

"That's pretty sad," Hermionie said to Helena.

"Not really Mionie, you don't know how cruel he is, he deserves this all," she said in return keeping her eyes fixed on Draco.

"Wow, your mean," Hermionie said back.

"Well, being nice isn't on the list of characteristics a Slytherin should hold. That's Gryffindor. We Slytherins stick to being, what was it, vapid, jejune, and shallow," she said smiling but still looking at an angry Draco.

*Later that night- Slytherin common room*

Draco returned to his normal (oh so sexy) tone, and held a grudge at Helena.

"Oh come on! I'm sorry!" she said to him as she lay on the floor her head tilted backward to see Draco in the overstuffed chair.

"You didn't seem sorry while you were laughing it up with that mud blood, Potty, and Weasel!"

"But I was! Please Draco! I'm sorry!" she got up and sat on the arm of his chair. He turned away.

"Oh you want to play like that huh?" she said as she slid form the arm of the chair onto his lap. "Please?" she asked softly.

"Fine, you're still going on a date with me," he said hugging her.

"Oo. Getting a little comfortable here. I wouldn't miss it for the world," she said as she got up, kissed him quickly on the lips, and ran up to her dorm.

In her room Pansy was waiting for her. "What?!" Helena said in her 'pureblood' attitude voice.

"Draco's mine, don't EVER try to take him," Pansy replied sternly.

Helena smirked at her, "I'm sorry I didn't see your name on him, Maybe I should go strip search him to see if your name is tattooed to anywhere," she said getting into her bed.

"You realize I could kill you in your sleep?" Pansy asked.

"Don't try bitch, I'm to quick for you. Besides your nauseating smell would wake me up if you came near. Good night Pansy!" she said with a twisted cheerleader type voice.
