"I feel like my brain is going to explode!"
Rory massaged her temples as she tried to concentrate on the template given by 3 of the classes she had just gotten back from. She was coffee deprived, hungry, and her mind couldn't take the endless droning any longer. Hermione's day was no better. Her classes were just as hard and if possible she was even hungrier than Rory.
"I can't believe I agreed upon 5 classes. It is as though I don't want any sleep or something."
Rory groaned.
"You sounded like Tristan right there!"
"Thanks, I will take that as a compliment. *rolls eyes* So, when do we have to go to Aunt Emily's house for that party thing?"
"Don't remind me! I hate those parties. Meaningless conversations, fake smiles, horrible food in tiny portions! God, I am so happy that you will be there to talk to and keep me sane."
"I hope she doesn't make me hostess or anything."
"Sorry, but it is a rule. You are stuck being hostess."
"Dang it!"
"It's ok. With any luck, my mom will pull yet another stunt to get out of it."
"All I want to do now is go to a quiet place and finish all this work off."
"Me too!"
"Let's go to my apartment since I need to go and check up on Crookshank."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I can't take this. I mean, in Hogwarts they used to pile on the work, but this is inhuman. How does that stupid old hag they call the Chemistry professor be as crazy to think that I would actually be able to write a ten page essay on mercury? It is just a stupid planet."
"Draco, she meant the element mercury."
"Are you serious? That is even worse! I don't know all these muggle substances!"
"I thought you took chemistry."
"There is a difference from learning about chemistry from a muggle and a witch."
Tristan sighed.
"Draco, you have seriously got to learn that you are in the human world, meaning you have to stop mentioning this stuff about witches and wizards and magic. I mean, what if someone found out?"
"I would use a memory charm and make the person forget."
"Draco! Just try to be better ok?"
"Damn Tristan, what happened to you? I mean I used to remember I time when you were carefree and fun. I want my old cousin back."
"Military school can do this to you."
"I doubt that it was just that."
"What?"
"Come off it Tristan. I am neither stupid nor blind. I can see that you have this huge thing for Rory. I bet you changed so she might like you better or something. Come off it man. No girl is worth it."
Tristan sighed.
"No, you don't understand. She is. You will understand when you find that right girl."
Draco rolled his eyes and sneered.
"Love doesn't exist."
"Trust me, it does."
"Damn man, ever since when did you start to sound like some sort of love sick puppy. I bet you just want to get with her to snog her."
Tristan grabbed Draco's collar.
"Take that back!"
Then Tristan registered into his head what he just did and let Draco go.
"Sorry Draco. That girl makes me do some crazy things sometimes."
"So you aren't going after her since she is hot?"
"No, it's because she is beautiful and perfect."
"I feel like I am going to get sick. How did you go through this day without seeing her?"
"I have tomorrow to look forward to."
"What?"
"Her grandma is throwing a return party for her niece. We are both invited."
Draco sneered.
"Granger."
"I don't understand why you hate her so much. She is pretty hot and seems nice enough. Plus, I bet she is as smart as Rory."
"She's smart, but gets on my nerves a lot. Plus, I was her bully and made fun of her friends and her. I guess it doesn't help that both of her parents are muggles and she always got better grades than I did."
"But I am a 'muggle'."
"But you are my cousin. Plus, you weren't always being praised by everyone."
"I think that you were just jealous of her."
"Yeah, I was so jealous that I didn't have this famous friend and I didn't get to go out with this famous person."
"Your sarcasm is getting to me."
"Deal with it, yours always gets to me. Anyways, I hope you know that I will not be going with you."
"You have to."
"No I don't. There is not way that you can make me go to the welcoming party thrown for Granger."
"Whatever grudge you hold against, this girl, deal with it ok? I need you tomorrow night ok?"
"What makes you think that I am obliged to follow your command?"
"Because if you don't go, I might have to slip some nice stories about you to Hermione during the party. Who knows what else."
"You wouldn't dare."
"So you are going?"
"Am I given a choice?"
"Obviously not."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You look amazing!"
"You do too."
Both girls looked at each other and into the mirror. Hermione was wearing a spaghetti strap burgundy dress that reached just above her knees. She had a modest amount of make up on her face and a thin silver necklace that hung a flower. Her hair was nicely put up and was curled in the ends. Rory wore a strapless blue dress that made her eyes look even bluer. She also had a modest amount of make-up and a thin silver necklace with an angel hung around her neck. Her hair was also put up.
"It looks like we are going to prom or something."
Hermione giggled.
"Since I never actually went to a prom, I never would know. Don't you think it is too cold to wear this?"
"We can take jackets."
"Yes, but I have a better idea."
Hermione took out her wand and spoke a spell softly. As soon as it was done, Rory felt completely warm. Hermione did the same spell to herself and smiled.
"We won't either get cold or hot. But it only last for about 5 hours so come back to me if you start to get cold again."
"I now remember why I love you being a witch so much!"
*~*~*~*~*~*
Draco had already done the warming spell on him and Tristan. He felt uncomfortable in the suit given to him by Tristan. He felt stiff and wanted to just go back to his original cloak and slacks. Tristan was adjusting the tie on Draco.
"I am going to kill you for this."
"Sorry Draco, but we got no choice. This is high class and this is the type of stuff you wear to a high class party."
"This is uncomfortable. I am so happy I was never a muggle."
"Thanks."
"Oh, you know what I mean!"
Rory massaged her temples as she tried to concentrate on the template given by 3 of the classes she had just gotten back from.
