Yeah, well I guess everyone found out that I don't really own the letter Z. Stupid copyright people don't think I deserve to own the letter Z, or the characters in this fanfiction either.
Library (October 13)
"I hope you had a decent weekend." Hermione said to Draco in an obviously fake caring tone as he entered the room.
"Why yes I did!" He shot back icily and Hermione looked disappointed.
"Well I'm sorry; I hope the next one is better." She looked at him with false sadness.
"Yeah, so do I. I was looking forward to You-Know-Who coming back and killing all the filthy mud-bloods, or at the very least, you."
Hermione and Malfoy both drew out their wands, but before any curses were issued Professor Dumbledore walked over to their table, smiling as usual.
"Good day, isn't it Mr. Malfoy and Ms. Granger?"
They both nodded and put their wands away.
"That's better!" Dumbledore smiled as he conjured himself a chair with his wand, "Now, as you both know, the annual Halloween Party will be here in only a few short weeks. And, as you probably didn't know, we still have no form of entertainment. So, since you two are both heads, you're the ones who will pick the band to play. I'll need the information shortly, perhaps by the end of the week?" He pulled his glasses down and looked both of them in the eye, raising his eyebrows shortly. And with that he stood up and left the room, the chair he was sitting on disappeared shortly after.
"Well, I propose we finish this matter today." Hermione spoke up as soon as she saw the Headmasters rope whip around the corner.
"Okay." Draco agreed sounding a little reluctant.
"Okay?" She questioned him, and he glared at her.
"I'm only agreeing so we don't have to meet again until Friday. Anyway, name any band, and my dad will gladly pay."
"Yes, I know!" Hermione answered sounding a little exasperated. "Your family is full of wizarding money. Whatever, may we continue?"
They fought for another hand and a half on what band to choose. They finally agreed on the new punk-rock band trio, Runespoor.
(A/N: Ha, if anyone read the book on magical creatures you'll know that the snake-like creature, Runespoor, has three heads. That's why I made the band a trio. Anyway, back to the story...)
Hallways (October 13)
After a few minutes if searching, Hermione finally came across Harry and Ron in the hallway.
"So, what horrible thing did Malfoy do today?" Ron asked as soon as he saw her. "Wait! You don't look totally pissed off; I'm guessing he didn't show up."
The girl shook her head. "No, he showed up. But you'll never guess what happened!" She told them about the meeting, stretching out the end a little bit.
"So he agreed with a muggle born? Whoa, something's up!"
"Yeah," Ron agreed with Harry, "What spell did you use on him, and can you teach me?"
Hermione rolled her eyes trying to ignore that comment, but they kept asking about her it.
"Look, I didn't curse him, hex him, give him a potion, or whatever else you immature imbeciles are thinking about." After speaking the last words she stuck her noise in the air and stormed off.
"Well, she looked pissed." Harry commented.
"Yeah, was it something I said?" Hermione heard Ron's last statement and let out a shrilly scream as she passed the library.
"Man, I feel really irritated if I don't feel in the mood to go in there."
She closed her eyes and continued walking a few feet, until she bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry!" She shot out before looking to see who it was.
"It's okay Hermione," Neville sighed. "You're not the first one to bump into me today."
Hermione looked at Neville and smiled. "Neville, you're really terrific, and a great friend. Don't forget that, okay?"
Neville nodded at her, though he looked utterly confused, "Um...thanks?"
She smiled and hugged him before walking towards the Gryffindor common room.
"That girl is really strange, "Neville smiled and mumbled to himself, "Maybe all the books have gone to her head.
