A/N: **MAJOR NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ** If you haven't read this since I fixed everything on July 21, 2003, read the whole story again!!!!! I changed a TON of stuff, and there are major OotP spoilers so if you haven't read the 5th book (I don't know why you wouldn't have read it by now! It's been two months!!), then don't read this fic until you do, or you'll be in for a few surprises!!!!! Thanks to: alecatq: I'm so glad you like this story as well as the Whose Line HP fic! Yay! Don't forget to keep helping me on that fic, by the way! I need TONS of suggestions!!!! BTW, happy birthday!!! (I read your bio!) Lenai Riddle: Sorry! I changed EVERYTHING on the twenty first of July. You would have to reread the whole fic to really get it or you'd be (as you are) really confused!!!!

Chapter 23: Getting to Know the Enemy

Melissa led the way to the pitch, along the way musing why the Slytherin quietly tagging along beside her wasn't being his usually drawling, insulting self. They reached the deserted stadium and found seats near the front of the bleachers.

"So . . . should you start or I?" Malfoy began smoothly, glancing over at the Gryffindor girl after ten minutes of bitter silence. Melissa glanced sharply over at him, but saw none of the usual animosity he normally showed on his pale face.

"Go ahead," Melissa sighed, leaning back against the seats behind her and resigning herself to the task. Malfoy cleared his throat before beginning.

"Well, my birthday's on February 13, my favourite colour is green, my favorite class is Defense Against the Dark Arts; I can't stand Snape; I don't particularly like peppermint humbugs; I love Quidditch; despite public opinion, I'm not always a spoiled brat; also despite public opinion, I do like Muggle things-music, books, movies; my least favorite class is Divination-"

Melissa snorted.

"That I can understand," she muttered, causing Malfoy to let out a laugh.

"I know! She's the biggest fraud I've ever seen!"

"At least we agree on one thing," Melissa remarked, glancing over at the laughing Slytherin next to her. She was startled to see a side of Malfoy that had never been shown before. She shook her head, releasing the thought, and gazed out over the pitch.

"So, I've told you a lot," Malfoy said, looking at Melissa.

"Oh, yeah, a lot of completely random things," Melissa replied sarcastically.

"I never said I was logical," Malfoy said, holding up his hands.

"That's for sure," Melissa retorted.

"So . . . your turn," Malfoy said, looking at her.

"Well," Melissa began, "I love Quidditch; my favourite class is Charms; I hate Snape and think he needs to take a shower; I sort of like Transfiguration . . ."

The two hours they had to talk flew by quickly, and the two soon found they had many things in common. For example, they both loved the Muggle movie Sister Act with Whoopi Goldberg and Maggie Smith, although Malfoy had only seen it a few times. When they realized their two hours had passed about half and hour before, they made plans to meet the next day to work on their homework and talk some more. They stood up to head back to the castle when Malfoy's eyes focused on something beyond Melissa.

"What is it?" Melissa asked, her brow creasing in curiosity.

"Who is that?" Malfoy asked, pointing to a spot down on the pitch. Melissa whirled around and saw a small group of people pointing back up at her and Malfoy. She turned back to Malfoy and shrugged.

"I don't know. Let's go find out."

He nodded in agreement and the two opposites headed down to the pitch where the group of people where waiting. Melissa and Malfoy stepped out into the sunshine on the field about twenty yards from the group. Melissa had been watching them as she and Malfoy walked out. When she saw who they were, she gasped and stopped dead in her tracks.

"What is it?" Malfoy asked, turning to her.

"Oh . . . my . . . goodness . . . Merlin, wha-?" Melissa whispered, barely audible and completely incomprehensible.

"Mellie!"

A/N: I am sooooooo sorry this chapter is so short and sucks so much. I really wanted to get it up soon because I was taking sooo long to write it. Good news, though: I just got a huge inspiration the other day when I read an old note that my friend Lauren passed to me during a study hall at my old school. So, the next few chapters will (hopefully) be coming out more quickly than these past few. For now, hope you enjoyed the chapter!!!

BTW, if you're really desperate for a laugh, please go read my Harry Potter/Whose Line Is It Anyway fic. I'm gotten some really good feedback on it and maybe you'll like it too!!! (I know, I know, horrible selfish advertising . . . what can I say? It suits me. ;-D)
