The next morning, the Gryffindors stayed pretty low-key.  After being beaten by Slytherin, life seemed pretty dull.  The Slytherins, however, were ecstatic.  They were easily the loudest table in the Hall, and didn't seem to care what they were screaming in front of professors.

 

"We love to watch the Gryffindors, sit at their table and weep, they really are such stupid whores, what's worse, they're really cheap!" yelled Draco across the room.

 

"Ugh I wish Malfoy would shut his trap."  Said Hermione as she stabbed her fork into her eggs.

 

"They'll forget about it soon enough." Said Harry.  "You watch, tomorrow they won't even care anymore." He added as he turned around to look at the rambunctious table.

 

"What's the matter Potter?" asked Draco.  "Wishing you were over here so we could cuddle?"  The Slytherins roared with laughter.

 

"No Malfoy.  Just wondering how much you paid that slut to sit next to you."  At this, Draco turned red, but it wasn't an embarrassed red, more like a furious one.  Christina looked appalled, and Bella looked somewhat like Draco.  By now, everyone was silent, just like when the girls had arrived.

 

"What did you say Potter?" asked Draco.

 

"I said, I wanted to know how much-"

 

"Stop Harry…" said a pale Hermione.  "Don't say it…" she pleaded.

 

"-you paid that slut to sit next to you." He finished with a smile.

"Oh that's it Potter.  I promised I wouldn't get ghetto on your ass back in first year but that damn well does it." said Draco, shaking.

 

"Bring it on Ferret boy, bring it on…" said Harry. 

 

"Ferret boy?" asked Christina.  It was odd that she wasn't offended by the remark that was made towards her.  Everyone figured she must have gotten it a lot.

 

"I'll explain later," said Draco, fists clenched.  "I just want to know one thing before I get it twisted up in this joint Potter,"

 

"And what's that home slice?" replied Harry.

 

"Is she as good as Granger?" he asked with a look of malice on his face as he nodded at Bella.  Potter made a dash over the Slytherin table.  Several Gryffindors made to hold him back but it was too late.  Harry had pinned Draco to the floor, and they were already throwing punches.

 

"Bitch." Said Draco.

 

"Slut." Replied Harry through gritted teeth.  Then it happened.  Out of nowhere, came Christina, and she did what both guys had failed to do to each other.  She punched them both in the face.

 

"You stupid assholes…" she yelled, rubbing her knuckles.  They both just lay on the floor, covering their faces.  "Get up." She said.  "You heard me, get up!"  Both of them slowly got up, still in pain.  She grabbed them by the ears.  "Come on," she said as she dragged them away.  "Somebody has to teach you two some manners."  Then she let go of Potter and threw him towards the Gryffindor table.

 

"Ouch." He said.

 

"Well I didn't want my slut rubbing off on you." She said with a smile.  "Now apologize.  Both of you."

 

"Why me?" whined Draco, who was now being clutched around the arm by Christina.

 

"I believe you made a rude remark about my friend and Hermione." She said.

 

"I'm sorry.  There I said it."

"Like you mean it pretty boy, or I'll make the other eye match this one." She said as she pointed to his already bruised left eye."

 

"I'm sorry I insulted you." He said, and Christina let go of him.  She gave a look to Harry, who was now receiving ice from Bella.

 

"I'm sorry I called you a slut." He said as he applied the ice to his face and winced from the cold.

 

"Thank you." Said Christina.  "Now, you're coming with me." She smiled at Draco.
