Secrets and Dirty Deeds

By the Barefoot Pianist

A/N: trying very hard to keep Malfoy into character... it's so hard though! A lot of Malfoy fics, he turns out to be an equivalent of a big, mushy teddy bear and in the book, he's such a self-righteous prick! But then again, that's what's so attractive about him. Okay, any time he starts to go mushy, please let me know!

Chapter 5

Carmen and Malfoy flew down, landed smoothly and walked the rest of the way to the change rooms. Both of them were grinning, but the first to notice was Carmen.

"Why the fuck are you so happy?"

"Well, didn't you see Potter's face? Hah, that was to die for! Anyway, you haven't wiped that grin off your face since we left the pitch either."

Carmen widened her grin, "That's because I won."

"What? Bollocks, it was one all, from two out of three games!"

"But I won the first game; I was the first to catch the snitch! So therefore, I bloody won!"

"No, we both agreed that we'd have three games!"

"Not before I caught the snitch!"

"You didn't win!"

"Yes, I did!"

"No, you didn't!"

"Did!"

"Didn't!"

"Did!"

"Didn't!"

"DID!"

"DIDN'T!"

The next morning, after a long night of repeated arguing, the two were still bickering through breakfast.

"Did," Carmen growled between mouthfuls of porridge.

"Didn't," was Malfoy's reply, after swallowing a mouthful of orange juice.

By this time, people were starting to look curiously at both of them, wondering what they were arguing about.

During lessons they would write notes where possible (mostly in History of Magic lessons) writing scribbles that said "did", then "didn't" until the piece of parchment was full. But this soon stopped as both began to run out of parchment to write on.

By the end of the week, people began to get sick of the Did/Didn't argument, but both were stubborn as each other and weren't anywhere near giving up. But despite this, the time finally came for Malfoy to decide the new entrants to the Slytherin Quidditch team and that was when Carmen approached Malfoy.

"Did," she said, signalling her arrival.

"Didn't," was Malfoy's current way of saying 'yes'.

"Anyway," she said, "Are you going to put me into the bloody team or not?"

"It's for me to know and you to find out."

"Ugh!" she yelled in frustration and threw her arms in the air.

She was about to leave before Malfoy said, "But if you do get in, you better not be 'fashionably late' ever again – no team will ever take you on."

Carmen gave herself a small smile, turned her back to him and started walking. "Did," she said.

"Didn't."

The next day, early in the morning, the list for the Slytherin Quidditch team went up.

It said:

Seeker: Draco Malfoy

First Beater: Crabbe, Vincent

Second Beater: Goyle, Gregory

Keeper: Zabini, Blaise

First chaser: Nott, Theodore

Second chaser: Pucey, Adrian

Third Chaser: Davies, Carmen

When Carmen next saw Malfoy, the first thing she said was, "Did."

But this time, though slightly discontentedly he said, "Yes, you did."
