THE BOTTOM ATTATCHMENT. 2ND VERSE OF "FRIENDS" WITH
SOME DEDICATIONS.
A Walk To Remember
I WHAT!?
Draco, Blaise, Harry, Ron, and Tony Apparated behind some bushes in front of SAWWA's school gates. They bent over and brushed off the leaves and dirt and followed Tony inside. Harry and Ron ran off to Dean, Seamus, and Neville once they caught them and muttered softly about how horrible those Slytherin gits were.
Austin, Chad, Crabbe, Goyle, Millicent, and Pansy caught up with the remaining three. When Draco was in flinging range, the two girls, well, flung themselves onto him. His wind was knocked out and he growled as he tried prying them off.
"Damn it you two! Can't you find someone else to attack?"
"Like me? HELL NO!" Blaise said as the girls eyed him. Pansy turned her attention back to precious Draco, as he started walking to class.
"Oh Draco! I can't believe you had to be with Potter and Weasley." Pansy spat the names like it was something vile.
"I lived." Draco walked
into History of Magic and sat behind Hermione and whatshername...oh
yes, Leslie, who Tony was talking to quietly, and Hermione was
completely ignoring Draco, talking to Marie and Alicia in front
of her.
Mr. Ohmer popped a pretzel in his mouth and continued to grade the worksheets that were due at the end of class. By now, everyone was done and doing their homework assignment: Read pages 462 to 474 on how Marshall Collingsworth showed magic in front of Muggles then did the Memory Charm and how the house elves saved his family (all but one child) from peril.
Draco was quite enjoying himself levitating pieces of paper into the bushy hair in front of him when Ohmer called him to his desk. Shit.
He nonchalantly walked to Ohmer's desk and stuffed his hands in his robe pockets. Draco plastered an innocent look on his face as his teacher looked up at him.
"I'd like to say congratulations!" Mr. Ohmer popped another pretzel into his mouth and handed Draco an orange paper, which he took apprehensively. Ohmer waited a while before speaking again. Draco's face screwed up after reading the paper, and looked at Mr. Ohmer's amused face.
"I WHAT?!" he hissed, a little too loudly. "I never signed the goddamn application! I threw it away!" From behind Draco, in the class, Tony smirked while he was reading.
"Well, it's mandatory that you go to the audition tonight." Ohmer said as the bell rang. "Class dismissed!"
Draco scowled, snatched his bag, and stormed out of the room.
Tony and Leslie looked at eachother
and grinned.
Hawksle and Tobblestodson tables were right next to eachother. The Dream Team and Ginny turned on their benches and talked across the isle.
Ron bit into an apple. "So, what's new?" Ginny motioned for him to keep his mouth shut when eating.
"You won't believe what happened in History of Magic." Hermione leaned forward, as so did the others. "Mr. Ohmer called Malfoy to his desk. He handed him an orange paper, and I know very well that that's for the lead role in the play!"
"Bloody hell." Ron stared at Hermione like she just grew another head or something.
Harry laughed. "Malfoy?! Wanting to be in the play? What came over him!?"
Hermione shook her head but smiled. "He claims he threw the application away. But somehow he got the audition paper." The Dream Team and Ginny continued to laugh and gossip (gossip mostly by Hermione and Ginny).
But across the hall, the very
person they were speaking of heard what they were saying. He kept
a blank expression, but was boiling mad inside. No, mad isn't
a strong enough word--Draco was pissed.
I can't believe I got into this! Draco stormed into the third and largest building. He went up the stairs to the track floor, and met up with the Herbology teacher, Mrs. Rauh (A/N rhymes with 'cow'), and Mr. Hunter.
Draco slammed the paper on the table and slumped into the chair. Mrs. Rauh nodded. "Mr. Ohmer spoke to us."
Draco just stared blankly.
Mrs. Rauh cleared her throat and asked Draco some questions. "Mr. Malfoy, can you act?"
Draco stared blankly.
Mr. Hunter leaned forward. "She asked you a question."
Draco rolled his eyes. "What do you mean?" There were two kinds of acting. Act as if you're someone else or be someone else. Those were two different ways! Act or Be. Draco was good at Being someone else, because what he felt inside was never ever shown.
"Acting!!" Mr. Hunter exclaimed. This man has a temper problem, Draco thought. "Being someone else hiding the real person you are! As in you would not act to be Mortington with a bit of Malfoy, you would BE Mortington without a Malfoy. People would think you really ARE Mortington, and not some seventeen year old. Do you understand what I am saying?"
Draco only nodded. He had a person inside he couldn't show so he act like someone else.
An image of my father...Draco thought in disgust. He never wanted to be like his father. "Yes sir."
They asked him more questions and he acted out a part of the script. He was actually very good, and this was his first try. At the end of the audition, Draco was more relaxed and not so boiled over.
Mr. Hunter filled some papers out and dismissed the blonde. "Good job. Tomorrow we'll post the lead role at lunch. Good night."
Draco nodded and left the track and down the stairs. He was heading for the door when -BAM!- a red and peach blur ran into him. He fell to the marble floor and hit his head. Fuck, he looked up and saw none but the Ginny Weasley.
"God, Weasley, don't you ever watch where you're going?" He held out his hand to the disheveled red-head, who looked quite charming. Charming?? Malfoy, get a hold of yourself!
Ginny merely thanked him and ran into the gymnasium. He watched her hand a slip of paper to Smith, and take some music. Then she started to sing.
That voice...
It was beautiful!...
Draco had to leave. If he stayed,
Ginny would wonder why and Tony's parents would be angry with
him if he didn't hurry. He rushed outside and met up with Tony.
They drove silently home, and Draco's thoughts kept coming back
to a particular redhead singing like an angel.

A/N
I'm merely doing this because
I love "Friends" so much. For smacks15 and your beloved
friend, and to everyone else. Here's the second verse:
With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you live in
Is the strength that now you
show
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps
us strong...
And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say 'never'
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not to long
to live as friends
(Finale, really loud and strong, that's why the caps)
AND A FRIEND'S A FRIEND FOREVER
IF THE LORD'S THE LORD OF THEM
AND A FRIEND WILL NOT SAY ' NEVER'
'CAUSE THE WELCOME WILL NOT END
THOUGH IT'S HARD TO LET YOU GO
IN THE FATHER'S HANDS WE KNOW
That a lifetime's not too long.....to live as friends...
No a lifetime's not too long......to
live as friends
