Interlude: Draco Malfoy and his introduction to muggle technology ---

"What in Merlin's name is this abonimation?" Draco Malfoy and Hermione were in their room studying when Hermione pulled out a thin silver box with black lines that was connected to another small black box.

Hermoine glanced over her shoulder and went back to tapping on her laptop, "A muggle device. It's called a laptop computer."

Curious, Draco peered over her shoulder and saw words appearing on the screen each time her finger touched the pad. "Amazing!"

Hermoine stifled a laugh, "Want to see something even more amazing?" She pulled out her retractable mouse and attached it to the USB port.

"What's that?"

Hermoine handed it to him, "A mouse. It's easier than the touchpad..." She trailed off, "What are you doing?"

Draco dangled the 'mouse' by the 'tail' and blinked, "It's not furry, it doesn't squeak, what kind of mouse did you say this was?"

"A computer mouse... Draco no!" Too late was her exclamation. Draco had already taken out his wand and transformed the cold gray mouse into a living organism... with its tail still attached to the USB port. "Draco!" Hermoine glared before grabbing his wand and flicked it at the mouse, "Don't do that."

"I was only trying to help." The blonde-haired boy muttered.

Hermoine sighed and shook her head, "Muggle devices are very plain and simple, there are no tricks to it, it's not like magic, things don't happen in a blink of an eye." She tossed her hair back and clicked on the winamp icon on her desktop and music filtered through the room.

"What's that?" Draco looked around, eyes wide, then his ears fine tuned themselves and they focused on the speakers from the laptop. "Not like magic, huh? Doesn't happen in a blink of an eye, huh?" He asked, "What do you call that??"

"A mp3 player?" Hermoine laughed, "You know, sometimes you are really cute, Draco."

"I know I am." He tossed his head up haugtily.

Hermoine turned back to her laptop, "Okay, let's set you up a AIM screen name... What name would you like for yourself?"

"Draco."

"How original." Hermoine said dryly.

"'tis my name, my good lady." Draco was wounded, "What's wrong with it?"

"It's a screen name Draco, no one is suppose to know who you are."

"Well then, Malfoy."

Hermoine slapped herself in the forehead, "Try to follow me, Draco. A screen name is a 'nickname.' It's a reflection of who you are... you don't put your name in it!"

"Then it's not me, it's someone else."

"Exactly!"

Unfortunately, as brilliant as Draco Malfoy is, he still has yet to grasp the intricacies of muggle internet and its many oxymorons, so therefore, Hermoine took it upon herself to school him.

---

"So you see, with an e-mail address and AIM screen name, no one would know who you are, and you can use it to talk to Harry without ruining your reputation." Hermoine took a drink of her water. After three grueling hours of explanation, Draco Malfoy has now acquired an inkling of what a five-year-old knows about computers, the internet, and the many perverted people that lurks among its cyber web.

"Ohhh..." Draco nodded, "I understand now... so should my screen name be Draco? Malfoy? Or Draco Malfoy?"

Hermoine's eyebrow started twitching.

Arthur's Notes
I wrote this little thing out of the blue and decided that instead of making this a chapter, to make this a little interlude... there might be more of these scattered around as I continue to write. Anyhoo, I'm somewhat disappointed that there are so little reviews... but ah well. More will come soon, I hope.

To mah reviewers:

tsuki-kun - Please! No! I've updated see! A little... but it's still an update!

Makalani Astral - All the people he's been with were just toys to him... Harry actually MEANS something... I think we all have that problem of being tongue-tied around the person you love.

bajs - Draco always seemed so lonely to me... his father can't treat him that well and he just seems so cold and distant.., he can't have much friends.

thedarkside45 - and here's the update! Every four days... I'll try to update every four days.

Reiss - Camp outside my door? 0.o Just remember to wake up early, our sprinklers turns on around 5...

Audre - Yeah... Harry/Draco is the best ship out there! GO them!

Keep those Truth or Dare ideas coming!

The people playing are going to be...

Blaise Lavender
Seamus
Dean
Harry Draco Hermione Ginny Neville Ron

= possibly

I want some more people, at least one from the house of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, but I don't really know who the characters are, save the main ones... a little help would be much appreciated.

Read, REVIEW!

Always,
