Thanks to all the reviewers! I hope I'm doing better. And I also didn't put any disclaimers, so here it is:

I, lightyearsaway, do not own Harry Potter and its characters. This plot is a product of my imagination. Any similarities to other fan fictions are unintentional.

Chapter 3


Draco's Plight




*________________________________*

At the end of the class, Draco and Jon sped to the door and raced to the Slytherin common room.

A GRYFFINDOR???!!! Jon yelled the instant they walked past the stone gargoyle.

Shut it!!! Draco said loudly.

Of all the girls in school, it had to be a Gryffindor. It wouldn't actually make much of a difference, since there was a Slytherin/Gryffindor romance, look at my aunt and her husband. As I said, it wouldn't make much of a difference if she wasn't a Weasley! Jon mumbled to himself, walking in circles. Erica was right!

The few Slytherins in the room were staring at them. Draco grabbed Jon by the arm and pulled him towards their shared dormitory. This is meant to be a secret! he hissed angrily into his friend's ear.

Jon just seemed to realise his bearings. he said as they entered their room.

SORRY... yeah, right! Draco sat on his bed. So, what do I do?

You know that cousin of mine, Erica?

Forrest, isn't it? A Gryffindor, right?

Correct. She's a friend of Ginny's. Best friends, to be exact.

You said that she was right,

Yeah, last summer, she said that Ginny and you would look cute together,

Draco grimaced. Why would she say that in the first place?

She said that she saw you two bickering in the Library over some Potions book, and thought that you two were cute, that's all, Jon told his pitiful, love-stuck friend.

Truth to be told, he privately agreed with his cousin, Erica Forrest. Her mother is his father's younger sister, and her father was a Gryffindor alumni. Both were pure-bloods, so his father didn't disapprove of their marriage. Their families have always been close, they all stayed in one house during some parts of their summer holidays.

Hey, Jon! Draco yelled at his daydreaming friend. You're supposed to help me!

______________________

After dinner that night, Jon finally found something that could help his best friend.

Draco, just leave it to me, Jon finally declared, after telling the blond-haired boy about his plan.

Draco looked sceptical. This is so vexing, y'know! he yelled in frustration.

Jon looked on in amusement.

I told you not to fall in love in the first place, Jonathan muttered, looking away.

Draco turned to the auburn-haired boy. What did you say?

Jon grinned sheepishly.

I've -um- got to go. See you. he said and ran off.
