Chapter 10: The 'Yeah! I've hit ten chappys!' chapter (a.k.a. The Arrival of Nif)


I watched Draco leave, and then turned to Lavender.


"Did 'ya have to kick him out like that?" I asked, slightly agitated.


"Did you have to make-out with him in a doorframe?" she countered.


"Yup." I answered cheekily.


"That's what- huh? Did you just say what I think you said?"


"That depends on what you think I said. I think I know what you think I said, but one can never be sure. At last count I wasn't a mind reader. You're the divination expert."


"Oh never mind." I grinned and went to bed.

Walking back through the common room, towards my Head room, I thought about what Gin had said. 'What's wrong with the way I speak. How can one's vocabulary sound too Malfoy-ish. Malfoy-ish isn't even a word.'


"Malfoy." a voice said from the couch to my right. I stopped and looked to see Granger. She just looked at me, an inquiring eyebrow raised.


"Well?" I questioned, rather impatient.


"Well what?" she asked. I smirked and took a step towards my bedroom door. "Oh! Right! We have to start planning the activities for the school year."


"So?" I asked, slightly irritated that she was bothering with this so late.


"So?! We have some things to work out!"


"Nif." I replied.


"Nif?"


"Yup."


"Okay. . ." she shook her head. "Malfoy! Stop changing the subject."


"Fine. What things?"


"Well, for starters- " I snorted, "do you want to include the prefects in the planning?" 'Prefects?' I thought. 'Why would I want to include the. . .Gin.'

"Yes, prefects can help." I said, automatically looking at the door to Gin's room. Granger looked slightly sickened.


"All of them?" she pursued. I nodded and headed for my room. "Malfoy!" she whined.


"Granger!" I mimicked. I heard someone in the common room chuckle. "Tomorrow's Sunday. Can't we talk over breakfast?"


"But. . ."


"Breakfast it is." I entered my room and locked the door. The room was fairly large, consisting of a queen-sized bed, an armoire, a desk, a couple of stands and two overstuffed chairs in front of the small fireplace. Originally, the room was almost completely green and silver with a few black accents here and there. In need of a change from the 'standard Slytherin' decor, I swapped the amounts of green and black in the room.


The room was now mostly black and silver. It kind of reminded me of Gin's little walled in section of the Gryffindor girls prefect room. I smirked at the reference to Gin. . .it was weird having someone other than Lucius to refer to in thought. Thinking about this, I crawled into bed and fell asleep.
