A/N: Hmm.  Ron with a gambling problem.  That scene was just a way to get Jeremy and Ron to know each other for later purposes, but it could be an interesting subplot.  We might just do that.

Disclaimer: We own Jeremy.  We copyrighted him so if anyone wants to borrow him, they have to pay us!  (j/k)

February 18, Second Year

I talked to Draco Malfoy today!  Repeat:  I talked to Draco Malfoy!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm so excited; I'm getting all tingly.

Wow, did I just write that.  I sounded like a giddy little American school girl.  (A/N:  Because we are and would be extremely excited to talk to Draco Malfoy))

It was this evening, after dinner, and I was in the common room reading a book on Cornelius Fudge and how he got to where he is, when I heard some voices from the couch next to me.  Draco Malfoy was sitting on one end, and the nerd on the other end.

"Seriously, Greg, we need to expand Hogwarts."

"What about the environment.  The vegetation is imperative to the ambiance, and what about the centaurs?  The luminous philosophers of the stars, what will they do?  And the unicorns, the brilliant cryptograms of illumination and limpidness?" (I think he meant symbols of light and purity.  I'm not sure though)

"Okay, we're speaking English here."  Draco replied rolling his eyes.

"I articulate English, thank you very much.  However you verbalize some tongue referred to as 'slang', that I'm not proverbial with."

"Whatever.  We need a larger school!  Are student numbers are increasing, especially with the mudbloods.  We need bigger classrooms, bigger houses, larger grounds..."

"How can you be so egotistical to not heed about our fellow species?"

Draco seeming very aggravated stood up and pointed at the first person in his view:  me.  "You, err, second year, what do you think?"

I stood up with a hand on my hip and my head slightly looking up with a arrogant smile, answered.  "Well, I utterly agree with Draco. We need to expand the school to make more scope for incoming students, and to enlarge the educational areas in order to learn environmental magic and be able to accumulate the ecosystem, duh."

"See, he agrees with me.  Unfortunately, he talks like you.  What's your name again?"  he asked me.

"The name's Pritchard, Jeremy Pritchard."  I'm so lucky no one hear has seen a 'James Bond' movie so I can get away with that line.

Needless to say that Draco Malfoy and I are on good terms, and I intend to keep it that way.  So, I'm going to bed now, I've put it of long enough.  It seems that I can no longer sleep without fearing the dreams filled with Genevieve Weasley's hair as bright as the fire.  Or her eyes as brown as chocolate.  And her red face, tormenting me, until I awake.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed this one.  By the way, we finally found out how useful those synonyms are that appear when you right click on a word.  We really don't talk like Goyle does in this, in case you wanted to know.
