magic sparkle 1: I don't live in England, and so me being, me, I completely forgot that an American show wouldn't be in England. But I understand about the chapter being boring. I was bored writing it, so I just added stuff in there. I'm not offended, so don't worry about it.

Tithe: I was thinking about the electricity thing, and you're right. It makes no sense whatsoever, so I already changed it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Author's Note: I'm really sorry that it's taken me so long to update, but as I said in my other story, I've had a lot of personal problems, not to mention the fact that I've had major writer's block concerning this story. For the moment, however, I do have some ideas. Please press the pretty purple review button- it's my way of knowing if I should continue with the story.

Chapter 3- A Prefect's Meeting

One Month Later

The prefect's sat in their common room, planning a Halloween dance.

"What kind of theme should we have?" asked Angelina.

"Good question," answered Padma. "I can't think of anything."

"Do we have to have a theme?" wondered Malfoy.

"It would be helpful. This way we have a general idea of what kind of decorations and music to have," explained Roger.

"How can we have music if there's too much magic in the air?" Hermione wanted to know.

"What do you mean Hermione?" asked Ernie.

"Well, like if we decide to have a muggle theme, then how are we going to play muggle music?" Hermione responded.

"Why don't you look it up in Hogwarts, A History?" questioned Malfoy.

"It's not in there. I checked already," Hermione said.

"Hermione, you gave me a great idea!" exclaimed Ernie. "We could have a muggle theme of some kind. Like everyone has to dress up characters from muggle books and stuff."

"Why didn't we think of that before?" contemplated Angelina.

"I don't know," shrugged Roger. "But it's the only idea we have. Don't know how we're going to play muggle music."

"I'm sure Dumbledore has some magical way to play muggle music. We should ask him," replied Padma.

Everyone had agreed on a muggle theme, but decided to wait on talking about music until they asked Dumbledore. They also started talking about other aspects of the dance.

"All of us have to have a prefect or a head person as a date. Roger and I decided that as Head Boy and Head Girl, we should go together, so that leaves the four of you to work things out," announced Angelina.

Padma and Hermione looked at each other, trying to figure out who was going to go with Draco with out actually saying anything. Ernie, however, noticed this, and asked, "What's the problem?"

"Well, it's a matter of who's willing to be seen with Draco," said Padma.

"Well, there are going to be other dances, so you two could take turns," suggested Roger.

Padma and Hermione agreed to this, but still couldn't figure out who would be seen with Draco first.

"It depends on how many dances there are," stated Hermione. "Since I'm in Gryffindor, and my Gryffindor friends don't exactly get along with Draco, it probably wouldn't be a good idea for me to be seen with Draco that much."

"We're having at least three- Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's Day. Dumbledore's still not sure about an end-of-the-year ball," Angelina answered.

"I'll do Halloween," Hermione volunteered. "Especially since we can all wear masks, so hopefully it would be a while for anybody noticed that I was with Draco."

"Okay," Padma agreed.

There was a lull in the planning for a moment, until Draco said something.

"Why don't we divide up the work?" he suggested. Angelina thought this was a good idea, and everyone else agreed with her.

"I'll be in charge of music," Hermione said. "I'm sure Dumbledore has a way to play muggle music, and since I know a lot about muggle music, it would probably be better if I worked on that."

Ernie decided to help Hermione with the music, while Padma and Draco decided to be in charge of the food and Angelina and Roger decided to be in charge of publicity. They decided to stop planning the dance for a while and do other things. Hermione got her copy of Hogwarts, A History and started reading it to Padma, Ernie and Draco while Angelina went to Gryffindor and Roger went to Ravenclaw.

"I can't believe we're all being nice to each other," remarked Malfoy after Hermione had finished reading the second chapter.

"What's that supposed to mean?" demanded Ernie.

"I know we made a deal so that I'd be nice to everyone if they were nice to me, but I didn't expect you guys to actually go through with it," Draco explained.

"It's a nice change. Anything to have you be nice to me, even if it is for a few months," Hermione replied. "Besides, since all the prefects and head people have a common living area, it would be a lot easier ifwe were nice to each other."

"What she said," Padma added. "It's not that hard, is it?"

"Actually, it's not," Draco admitted. "I think I'll be nice to you guys for the rest of the year. Even you Hermione."

"You're kidding," Hermione said. "But you've called me mudblood since second year, and you've hated me and my friends since first year. Are you up to something?"

"She has a point," Padma and Ernie said at the same time.

"Well, you're not so bad Gra-I mean, Hermione. I'm not up to anything. It's just that all I heard was about how muggle-born people were bad. But once I got to know Granger, I realized she wasn't so bad," he said.

Roger and Angelina had both come back from their houses in time to hear Draco's little speech.

"I'm shocked Draco," Angelina said. Everyone had jumped, with the exception of Roger, because they hadn't even noticed they had come in.

"Well, if I'm going be here with you guys for a year, maybe I can be friends with everyone," Draco commented.

Everyone else seemed a little taken back by this comment, but they did agree to it. They didn't know how long their friendship with Draco would last, but they decided to take advantage of it while it lasted.
