CHAPTER EIGHT
"So, who's going next now?" Harry asked.
Draco smirked. "That Weasel, Greg," he said.
"Huh?" Parvati said.
Draco didn't seem to remember the twins' names. "Uh, Gordan, Gary, I don't know...just, the guy in the green sweatshirt..." he said.
"You mean George," Fred said.
"Yeah, whatever. So, truth or dare?" Draco asked.
"Truth," George replied.
"Coward," Draco muttered under his breath. He was hoping to make a laughing stock out of George. "Who's the first teacher you had a crush on?" he asked instead.
George looked horrified. "But I can't tell!" he protested.
Draco smirked. "You can and you will," he said.
"Fine!" George said, his whole face as red as a tomato. "IoncehadacrushonProfessorTrelawney."
All breathing in the room stopped.
"TRELAWNEY?!" Ron suddenly cried.
"I can't believe it!" Draco said loudly, rolling on the floor and laughing.
"Twin, I would've understood if it was McGonagall, or even Snape, but TRELAWNEY?!" Fred exclaimed. He looked a bit green.
George grimaced, his face getting redder by the minute. "I-I was a first year! Innocent and young! (Harry snorted), and when I first saw her, she was a little younger...and ...I was amazed...at how-how good she pre- predicted things!" he stuttered.
Hermione looked at George as if he had murdered Crookshanks. "Good? That old, irrational, insect-looking, crazy, pathetic excuse for a human?!" she exclaimed.
Parvati and Lavender looked very offended and immediately jumped at their favorite teacher's defense.
"Hey! How dare you talk to Professor Trelawney like that?! You're just mad because she said you had little aura during third year!" Lavender said angrily.
"Excuse me?!" Hermione looked taken aback. "She's just an old hag!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Ok, girls, stop it!" Harry shouted. The three girls did. "Let's just continue with the game."
"Fine!"
"So, Mr. George a.k.a. Trelawney's lover, who's next?" Ron asked. Everybody except George laughed at this remark.
George glared at Ron. "Parvati, you're turn," he said.
"Dare," Parvati replied.
"Hmmm...ok, parade around the school carrying your baby," George said.
"Baby?!"
"Yes. The one you have with Filch," George replied, grinning.
Parvati was dumbfounded. "No way!" she exclaimed.
"I shudder to think of what the poor creature will look like," Fred said, snickering with the others.
"But I don't have a baby!" Parvati insisted.
Hermione smiled and conjured up one with a wave of her wand. She handed it to Parvati. "There, problem solved," she said sweetly.
Everyone roared with laughter when they saw what the baby looked like. It had Filch's greasy, dirty hair and his crooked, yellowish teeth. Its eyes were like Mrs. Norris' yellow big ones and it isn't chubby like most babies. It was like a demon, as Ron "kindly" pointed out.
"Is it a she or a he?" Lavender asked.
"A she," Hermione gleefully replied. "Don't you look like your mother, huh, sweetie?" Harry cooed as his turn to cradle the baby came. "Don't you, little Devilla?"
"Devilla?" Draco snorted with laughter.
Parvati, who was all red and was glaring daggers at everyone, spoke up. "Give me that devil and let's get this over with!" she snapped.
"Ok..." Harry said and handed Parvati her "baby".
"Where to?" Parvati asked George.
"Anywhere," George replied.
Parvati and the rest exited the common room once again and headed somewhere outside where an awful lot of people were there.
"You know, little Devilla kinds of reminds me of our house elves at home," Draco commented. They, excluding Parvati, burst into fits of laughter.
Just then, they passed by a couple of students who immediately halted to look at the bundle in Parvati's arms.
"Eeeek!!!! What the heck is that creature?!" one said as she bent over to look at Devilla.
Ron grinned. "Parvati and Filch's baby. Her name's Devilla. Isn't she cute?"
"EEEEEEKKKKK!!!!!" the people exclaimed and ran away.
Parvati groaned. "This is bad..." she muttered as they continued walking along the corridor.
It was just Parvati's luck, because they happened to pass by Professor McGonagall, who, like the others, stopped too to see the baby.
"Hello, Professor!" Fred and George greeted.
"Goodness, what is that? Don't tell me it's another one of those creatures from Hagrid's class, he's really scaring the wits out of everyone..." Professor McGonagall said as she looked at Devilla.
"Er, no, Professor, don't worry. It's just Parvati and Filch's baby, Devilla," Harry said promptly, grinning from ear to ear.
"WHAT?!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed before fainting.
"Uh-oh, what are we going to do with her?" Lavender asked.
"Take her to the hospital wing, duh," Draco said, rolling his eyes.
"But who will?" Hermione asked. Everybody looked at Ron. Again.
Ron gulped and shook his head vigorously. "No! Not me again!" he exclaimed.
Lavender glared at Ron. "Ron!!!" she said.
Ron sighed. "Fine! Fine! You people are so unfair!" he said and pointing his wand at McGonagall's limp form, muttered, "Wingardium Leviosa!"
"See you later, bro!" Fred called after him.
"Too bad he forgot he's wanted by Snape," George whispered in Fred's ear. They chuckled.
"So can I put this creature down now?" Parvati said irritably, pointing at the now crying Devilla.
"Yeah, I guess so," George said.
Hermione pointed her wand at Devilla and muttered, "Finite Incantatum!" (???) and the baby vanished in thin air.
"Thank goodness for that!" Parvati said. "Anyway, because Hermione was so 'kind' as if to create my own baby, I think she'll be next."
Hermione paled. She didn't like the evil look Parvati was giving her. But she is a brave Gryffindor... "Dare," she said.
Parvati smiled wickedly. "Perfect," she muttered. "Because you look so good together, teach Malfoy about the History of the 1453 Confederation of Witches and Warlocks."
Both Hermione and Draco's eyes were as big as plates.
"But-"
"You can't-"
"Not him of all people-"
"Why the mudblo-"
"Oh, quit it, Hermione, Malfoy and just get on with it," Harry said, who was tired of the two complaining.
Hermione groaned. "Fine," she said defeatedly.
Parvati led them into an empty classroom. "We'll lock you here and after 20 minutes, we'll test Malfoy's knowledge on the subject. I suppose Hermione doesn't need a book since she probably memorized everything anyway," she explained. Harry snorted.
Draco glared at her before going inside after Hermione.
When the room was locked, the twins turned to Parvati. "Why did you dare her to do that? That's so boring. It won't be a challenge for Hermione," George said.
Parvati grinned. "It is, if Malfoy's the one she's teaching. I swear, any second, those two are gonna start shou-"She was interrupted by voices coming from the room.
"YOU STUPID FERRET! WHY DON'T YOU GET IT RIGHT?!"
"DON'T EXPECT EVERYONE TO BE A KNOW-IT-ALL LIKE YOU, MUDBLOOD!"
"AND YOU CALL YOURSELF SMART, YOU EGOTISTICAL JERK!"
"SHUT UP AND STOP SHOUTING AT ME, MISS GOODY GOODY TWO SHOES!"
"LOOK WHO'S TALKING! AND DON'T CALL ME GOODY GOODY, YOU SLYTHERIN SCUM!"
The fight continued on and all the others could do was to cover their ears.
"Oh, my poor ears!" Harry said.
"Oh, I knew this was a bad idea, Parvati!" Lavender said.
"It's a good thing Ron isn't here. He would've smashed the door into pieces and ran straight to Malfoy," Fred told them.
"Yeah, I mean-"Harry's sentence was interrupted.
"DON'T YOU KICK ME LIKE THAT, YOU FILTHY MUDBLOOD!"
"THEN SHUT YOUR TRAP AND LISTEN!"
"MUDBLOOD, LOOK AT MY PRECIOUS, FLAWLESS SKIN! NOW I HAVE A WOUND AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!"
"IS NOT!"
"IS TOO!"
"YOU ARE THE STUPIDEST, EVIL, CONCEITED, INSUFFERABLE, SELFISH, FERRET-"
Just then, the shouting died and Harry, Fred, George, Parvati and Lavender wondered what happened.
"Oh no! What if Malfoy hurt Hermione?! Parvati, give me the key to the door!" Harry said, panicked.
Parvati handed it to him and as soon as Harry opened the door, they all rushed inside only to find...
"Hermione?! What are you doing...SNOGGING Malfoy?!" Harry looked horrorstruck.
There enough in the corner of the room was Hermione in the arms of Malfoy. They looked like they were enjoying themselves, and only stopped when Harry yelled at her. Both blushed and inched away as far as possible from each other.
"Er...Well...Um..." Hermione stuttered.
"It was an...an accident," Draco lied, his cheeks turning pink.
"Accident?!" Harry exploded.
"Um, yeah...I-I did it...to-to, um...shut her up," Draco stammered. It was amazing on how the cool and composed Draco Malfoy was having a hard time defending himself.
The twins grinned slyly. "Really, huh...Wait till Ron hears about this..."
Hermione's eyes bulged. "Fred! George! Don't you dare!" she exclaimed.
"Anyway, let's go outside now and proceed with the game. I think you've had enough, uh, 'studying'," Harry said uncomfortably. They all agreed and went back to the common room, Ron still nowhere in sight.
"So, Lavender, truth or dare?" Hermione asked.
"Dare," Lavender said.
Hermione smiled. "I dare you kiss Harry," she told her.
Lavender blushed, stood up and gave Harry a peck on the cheek. Harry turned red.
Just then, they heard a blood curling scream and went outside the portrait hole just in time to see Ron running with all his might, terror written all over his face.
"AAAAHHHH!!!!!" he screamed.
"WEASLEY, COME BACK HERE YOU STUPID BOY! I'LL GET YOU!!!!!" It was Snape's murderous, icy cold voice.
"How did he find you?" Hermione asked.
"QUICK! HIDE MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" was Ron's only reply.
How was it? So sorry if it took me forever to update!!!!!! I know it isn't very funny...but bear with it! Review people!!!!!!!!!!! Pretty pretty please????!!!!!!!
"So, who's going next now?" Harry asked.
Draco smirked. "That Weasel, Greg," he said.
"Huh?" Parvati said.
Draco didn't seem to remember the twins' names. "Uh, Gordan, Gary, I don't know...just, the guy in the green sweatshirt..." he said.
