Thanks for the reviews guys. Since I posted on another site about a week ago nobody's reviewed at all, so I'm really glad you guys took the time. Please, if you see anything wrong, or anything that could use improvement please tell me. Now, without further ado, on with the story

Ch.6: The Perfect Plan

The rest of the day passed in a blur and, after sending a letter to his mother it was time for him to go to sleep. When he went to breakfast in the Great Hall, he received another letter carried by Bast; it too was from his mother. Draco carefully looked to see if anyone was watching him, after seeing no one was, he opened it.

Dear Draco, I have only just realized that I never told you why I am going to divorce your father. It's really simple really, he has a girlfriend; Dolores Umbridge. Your father seems to think that I am blind, and can't see his unfaithfulness. I don't know how he will react when he finds out, so if I suddenly stop writing after I tell him, you'll know why. I miss you, and I wish you were old enough to be here with me helping the Dark Lord. Fortunately there is something you can do where you are. We need someone in Potter's inner circle to report what's going on there. Could you possibly do that for us? Owl me back as soon as you can. Love always, Mother

It was then that it hit him. He could do three things at once, hurt Potter, his father, and help the Dark Lord; all by getting close to what was her name, oh yes, Ginny Weasley. Slowly his plan began to formulate. He knew that she was dismal in potions, a thing quite common in houses other than Slytherin. He also knew something not many did; she liked Longbottom and was looking for a way to get closer to him. As this was her O.W.L year he realized that she would really need help, if he offered his services she would probably take him up on it. From there he would become friends with her, and in time he could date her; though he grimaced at the thought. He looked over at the Gryffindor table and watched her. The little girl was the way to many people, and his key to gaining power. "Drakie, Drakie what's wrong honey?" Pansy asked in an annoyingly worried voice. Draco snapped out of his daydream angrily. Arg! I thought I got rid of her, Draco thought. Why can't she go bug Crabbe? It's not as if she has a chance with me, I have higher standards. "I thought you were with Crabbe." He sneered. She looked as if she was about to cry. "I..I l..lik..ke y..y..you m..m..mor..r..re." She finally stammered. "I'd suggest going with him, you have a better chance with him." Draco snarled. He then turned around and left the Great Hall. Crabbe came running after him calling his name. "What?!" Draco screamed. "Umm..would you be okay with me asking Pansy out?" He asked nervously. "Of course, since she started pestering me two years ago I've been trying to get rid of her, now I finally can!" Draco exclaimed, his spirits rising. "Okay, thanks." Crabbe said before walking away. Draco grabbed his bag from his dormitory and walked to Transfiguration. This was the best day of his life.
