Dracos Gurl
"It was a few weeks ago when this all happened," started Hermione. Draco nodded to show that he was indeed listening to her story. She carried on. "I was going to soccer practice, a muggle sport" she added when she saw a look of confusion cross his face. "well I was leaving the house and Mum had told me to lock the cat flap door. But I was so caught up in the soccer final matches that day, that I forgot and just left.
Flashback
I jogged a small way to the soccer game, enjoying the summer breeze that whipped my hair around my face. I was pumped and I was ready!!! We were gonna beat that other team, United Kings Girls, what a name. I was about 20 metres away from my house when I heard loud crash and a screeching of wheels. I looked around and turned back the way I came. Probably some drunk driver that ran over a rubbish can. I was early so why go help the neighbor pick up the mess.
I started walking over to the site. So far so good, no tipped over cans meaning no trash to pick up. I was about to turn around and head to soccer practice again when I saw a white car, that I guessed had been the one to cause the commotion, speed around the corner and out of my sight. I saw a patch of orange on the middle of the road. I ran towards it and I picked it up and started screamed bloody murder in the middle of the road.
End Flashback
Putting two and two together, Draco had guessed that this had something to do with that ferocious ball of cat fur that she had acquired in their third year.
"The veterinarians said that he died instantly, no pain. But still how I wanted revenge for him. Oh Chrookshanks." And with the painful memories she started to cry again. But stopped only after a few minutes. She got up and pulled herself together and headed out the door silently towards the bathroom.
"Hey Draco"
"Yeh Granger?"
"Call me Mione, I just wanted to say thanks for listening. See you at the prefects meeting."
Making a mental note to himself, Draco decided to use the information that he just heard for his own purpose. A plan had started to put itself together in his brain.
In the bathroom, Hermione was trying to make herself look half decent and not like something that the cat had just dragged in. She washed her face and dried it with the sleeve of her robe. She added a bit of light makeup and was good to go. She left the bathroom but stopped in mid-step. She had forgotten what compartment to go to. Just then who should come but Prince Charming on his white horse.
"Gra....Mione, are you ok?" Draco asked, thinking how good it was to hear her name escape from his lips.
"Yeh Draco, im fine, now how do you think a prefects meeting is going to start without the Head Prefects huh? Lets Go"
"You first Madame" Draco said taking a bow.
"No I insist you first Monsieur." Hermione countered, not wanting Draco to know she, Hogwarts, Miss Know It All forgot the meeting place.
"If you insist my lady" he said and he held out his arm to her, which she gracefully linked into her own. And they walked to compartment 24.
In Compartment 24
"Where are those two?" Maksim Manko a 6th year Slytherin Prefect asked. He was tall with short black hair that was always spiked up. He was good looking in a bad boy kind of way. He was a chaser on the Slytherin Quidditch team and was a pureblood of course.
"Beats me, answered Kurt McQuoid, a Hufflepuff 6th year Prefect. Kurt was quite the quiet one. Very timid kind of person. He had short blonde hair that he only spiked the front part of. He was a bit short for his age but was very adorable according to the Girls at Hogwarts. He had two muggle parents making him a "mudblood" as the slytherins liked to call him. He was the only muggle-born in the group, not that he care much.
"I hope that they turn up soon, Emily Chang, from Ravenclaw said quietly. Emily was the feminine version of Kurt. She was Cho Changs sister and was very much alike. She had long raven black hair and green eyes. But that was only due to the contacts that she wore. She was very much like Hermione, coming first in her year.
"Its not like Hermione to be late anywhere" shared Ginny, Hermione's best friend. Like Ron, her hair had grown darker too and she had learnt how to apply make up so she looked good and not like a clown who had just stepped out of a circus.
Just as Ginny had finished talking, in bursting came Hermione and Draco ready to start the meeting.
Immediately taking over, Draco pulled out his list again and started.
"I'll start again as I was interrupted the last time I tried" he said before getting onto business then looked at Hermione who had blushed slightly. The other prefects just looked a bit lost and confused.
"Dumbledore wants us to organize a Halloween Ball and maybe a Valentines Ball for next year depending on how well we do with the Halloween one. Ok, we need to decide on food, music, decorations and most importantly a theme. Any ideas?"
"What about as animals???" Emily suggested thinking that she would go as a pink bunny with a fluffy cotton tail.
The boys looked at each other and made disgusted looks on their faces.
"How about a masquerade ball?" suggested Max, "that way we won't have to look at their faces HA!"
"Ummm good ideas, ill just write them down." Kurt said as he scribbled down the idea of the Masquerade Ball, making sure that he missed out on the animal impersonator idea.
"Well we may just as well go as flippin books, aye Mione" Draco said, laughing at his own joke.
"Draco you're a genius!!!!" Hermione screamed. "We can go as characters from books or even movies!!!!
The others decided that this was the best option out of the two, I mean three. Cant forget the animals right? The group decided that Kurt and Ginny were to work on the music, since they need something a bit more "muggle". Max and Emily were to write down a food list and maybe find some recipes for the house elves and Draco and Hermione were to look after the decorations. Everything was set and the meeting was adjourned.
They filed out of the compartment and each traveled back to their own thinking about their costumes ad trying to remember to keep their mouths shut as the theme was to be a surprise until later on. Hermione and Draco were the last ones out of the small room. Just before he could leave, Hermione gave him a quick hug and ran out the door leaving a stunned Draco standing by himself in the empty compartment.
