The Great Switch
Chapter Three
Draco suddenly woke. He didn't know where he was or how he had gotten there. He heard voices whispering nearby, and he slowly and carefully opened his eyes to see who was talking. It was Madam Pomfrey and Professor McGonagall. "..seems as though he may have hit his head, may also be in shock.. I must warn you that once he does wake, he may be a little confused, and not know what happened or what's going on.." Madam Pomfrey trailed off as she noticed that Draco was awake. "Mr. Potter! Awake at last. How are we feeling today?" she said kindly. Draco was a little surprised at her kindness, but that wasn't what was bothering him. From what he had just heard, there would be no way anyone would believe him once he told them what happened. But maybe that's not so bad.. he thought. I might just be able to use this to my advantage.. maybe I can wreak just a little bit of havoc in Potter's life. He smirked to himself at the thought. He quickly replaced his smirk with what he hoped was a convincing smile. He had to remember to act nice and polite like Potter. Stupid Potter, always being so nice, I don't know how he does it.. "I'm feeling alright, I guess.." he said slowly, trying to look as though he was being brave, and was in fact in great pain. Draco wasn't in any pain whatsoever; he just liked their pitying looks. "Well, I think that after one more night here, you'll be able to leave the hospital," Madam Pomfrey said. "That should cheer you up a bit." "Yes, ma'am," Draco said. Potter, you are such a suckup. "Thank you." Madam Pomfrey and Professor McGonagall gave him one last encouraging smile, and then they left him to his thoughts. Draco began to formulate some ideas of how he could use this to his advantage. "Potter does always seem to hang around with that mudblood Granger a lot.. I wonder if he's got a little crush on her. I wouldn't be surprised," he thought aloud. "Maybe that's where I should start.." And with that thought, Draco fell back to sleep with a smirk on his face.
***************************** Harry already knew where the Slytherin common room was, since he and Ron had snuck in there in their second year, disguised as Crabbe and Goyle. Therefore, he had a little less trouble getting in; but there was still the problem of finding a Slythering and getting the password without drawing too much attention to himself. He was just trying to think of a plan when someone caught his eye. Panday Parkinson! he thought. For once in his life he was actually pleased to see her coming. "Hello, Draco," Pansy said flirtatiously. She batted her eyelashes at him and smiled sweetly."What are you up to?" she simpered. Oh, gag me, Harry thought, but he knew he would have to play along. "Just going to the common room and relax a bit.. but I seem to have forgotten the password." Harry smirked convincingly at Pansy, hoping she would buy it. "Oh, don't worry, I remember it," she said, smiling her sickening smile at Harry once again. "I'll let you in.." She turned to look at him suddenly, her eyes bright and a malicious smile on her face. "Say, did you hear about Potter? I heard he's in the infirmary. Seems he took a sharp knock to the head.." She trailed off, looking pleased. "Serves him right, hanging around with that Granger Mudblood and that Weasley. Then again, he could just be making it up. Wants a little more attention. Oh, I could give him attention all right.. he doesn't know that you told me about Black. Poor ickle Harry Potter lost his godfather as well.." she clucked her tongue, not looking sorry at all. It took all of Harry's self control not to jump a Pansy and strangle her with his bare hands. Instead he forced a laugh. "Yes, I found that quite amusing.." He replied. "Do you think you could tell me the password now?" "Oh yes, I forgot. It's parseltongue." She told him. "Thanks," he replied with another of his trademark smirks. I guess I'll catch up with you later." With that, he headed off for the Slytherin common room. Pansy watched him walking away until he had turned the corner. "He'll be mine if it's the last thing I do," she said under her breath. She turned and walked back down the hall. **************************************************************************** ************* Sorry it's so short! Hope you like it anyway. Please review!
