Chapter Six
Hall Havoc

After Hermione put her guitar back in her room, the Golden Trio ran through the corridors and flew down the stairs, realizing that they were late for dinner at the Great Hall.

"Hurry up, you guys!" Ron shouted, "My stomach is yelling at me; I'm going crazy!"

"You've BEEN crazy, Ron! What are you talking about?" Hermione screamed as she attempted to catch up to Harry and Ron.

They skidded into the hall and slipped into the nearest open seats at the Gryffindor table.

"AAH, FOOD!" Ron exclaimed, stuffing his face with food.

"Gosh, Ron; you're such a pig!" Hermione scolded, primly scooping food onto her plate, all the while keeping an eye on Draco's bored expression from across the hall.

"T'enk you!" Small, chewed-up flecks of chicken flew out of Ron's mouth, showering Harry, Hermione, Parvati, and Lavender.

"RON SHUT UP!" Harry and Hermione screamed, throwing rolls at him.


Draco fiercely sliced his steak, trying to send a discreet message to Pansy that she should really shut her mouth. He began to subconsciously stare at Hermione from across the hall.

"And Lavender said that Justin told her that Molly's cousin who works with Parvati's brother who's going out with Derek's cousin, twice removed, that they know who the lead guitarist of the Weird Sisters is secretly married to!" Pansy babbled on and on as Draco shoved pieces of steak into his mouth and chewed silently while maintaining a scowl on his face.

"Yakkity, yakkity, blah, blah, blah, huh?" Blaise Zabini asked, sipping on his pumpkin juice, pulling Draco out of his reverie.

"Yeah… again." Draco attempted to stab a piece of broccoli with his fork, and instead, shot stems of them onto Pansy's lap.

"DRACO!"
