Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the ideas or characters that go with it…all I own is Marlaina.
A/N: Alright, I know some of you don't like my story but I thank you for your reviews…I'm trying to figure out how to put in Marlaina and a romance with Draco and Hermione…it's quite difficult to think about this and to correct silly mistakes or try and make the fic better but I hope I am improving. Anyway, I just wanted to thank everyone for their patience! I do appreciate it more than you know. That's all, on to the fic!

Last time on The Hell I Live In!…
"Alright…" Malfoy began questioningly.
The girl smirked.
"Larissa Devon." She said shaking his hand.
Malfoy nodded.
Now on The Hell I Live In!…"Help me!" Ron whispered in a strained voice.
"What?" Hermione and Harry asked.
Ron had finally found Harry and Hermione in the Great Hall doing homework. He sat down at the table to catch his breath.
"I hate this ball idea." Ron said looking around suspiciously.
"We know, you've told us a hundred times, at least." Hermione pointed out.
"Yes, but I didn't know that I would actually get asked to the ball! I thought you know, noone would bother and I could just stay in the common room all night. I wouldn't mind really, but no! I've been chased by at least five girls who started arguing who was going to ask me! I'm stuck in the middle of their stupid girly problems and it's driving me mad." Ron said as he hit his head on the table once and rested it there.
"Alright, I'll help you." Hermione said to her depressing friend.
Ron shot up.
"You will? How?" Ron asked curiously.
"You can go with me. That way all those girls will leave you alone." Hermione said with a shrug.
Harry just smiled at his two friends as Ron was in a much better mood.
"Is this also to get you out of asking someone Hermione?" Harry asked teasingly.
"Of course not. I don't have anyone in mind and you both are my friends and I figured you'd want to go with G…" Harry covered Hermiones mouth and smiled nervously as Ron looked at them curiously.
The next day while Hermione was walking to Potions she was stopped by Parvati and Lavender.
"Is it true?" They asked.
"Is what true?" Hermione asked having an idea of what they were going to ask but decided to play innocent instead.
"That you're going with Ron?" The girls said at the same time discustedly.
"Yes." Hermione said somewhat angrily.
They looked at eachother and ran off giggling. Hermione shrugged and went to class.
"There you are Draco! I've been looking everywhere for you!" Pansy said with an evil smirk.
"How many times do I have to tell you…it's MALFOY!" Malfoy said angrily crossing his arms.
"Whatever you want." Pansy said seductively reaching for his arm.
Malfoy gave her a look of discust as he pulled away from her.
"What do you want Parkinson?" Malfoy asked.
Marlaina was on her way to visit her favorite teacher before class started. While she was walking to Snape's classroom she overheard her brother and stopped behind a corner to spy on him.
"How many times do I have to tell you…it's MALFOY!" He yelled as Pansy giggled and Marlaina could clearly see her grab Draco's arm.
"Whatever you want." She said as Marlaina stifled a laugh at her brother's expence.
"What do you want?" He asked pulling away.
"I want you to go to the ball with me." Pansy said with an evil smile.
"Sorry, can't." Malfoy said as he turned from her.
Marlaina could clearly see his face of releif and annoyance.
Pansy's eyes began to become dark with anger as she glared at the back of Malfoy's head.
"Why not?" She asked with venom in her voice.
"Already been asked." Draco said with a shrug walking towards Snape's classroom.
"By who!?" Pansy asked appauled.
She remembered clearly telling EVERY Slytherin girl not to ask Draco to the ball or they would be severely punished.
It was the first night that Hogwarts students found out about the ball. At night all of the girls were discussing who they would ask.
"Listen, I don't care who you all invite to the ball but remember this…Draco Malfoy is mine! If any of you even DARE to look at him in a suggestive way then I suggest you sleep with your eyes OPEN!" Pansy said with a glare to every single girl.
"Calm down Parkinson. Noone wants your precious Malfoy." A voice said with a snort.
Pansy turned to see a girl her age with a frown of discust.
"Devon." Pansy said with venom.
"They better not." Parkinson then left the dorm room to the common room.
Pansy came out of her thoughts as she saw Draco was staring at her with an amused expression.
"Who? Who asked you?" Pansy asked venomously.
"Why do you care?" Draco asked.
He wasn't stupid. If he got Devon in trouble than he would have hell to pay.
"You'll find out soon enough." Draco said as he left.
Pansy just stood in the hallway dumbfounded.
Marlaina came around the corner after hearing this and smiled.
"So, you got yourself a date. I wonder who the lucky girl is." Marlaina thought as she walked into the classroom.
Snape turned to see Marlaina and just stared at her.
"What can I do for you Miss…" He began.
"Marlaina. Thank you. I just came to visit my favorite teacher." Marlaina said looked over and saw Draco with a sigh of releif.
"Well, if you haven't noticed, I will be conducting a class soon so if you would be so kind as to leave." Snape said sitting at his desk.
Marlaina smirked.
"Haven't changed a bit have you Snape?" Marlaina shrugged as she left the room and Malfoy sniggered.
"Problem Mr. Malfoy?" Snape asked.
"Uh…no Professor." Malfoy said as he shut up and turned to his book.
The class ended rather quickly to the delight of Harry and his friends.
"That class actually wasn't that bad." Hermione said as she hummed a little tune to herself.
"Humming?" Ron and Harry both stopped.
"What?" Hermione asked coming out of her daze.
"What's wrong with you?" Ron asked putting a hand to her forehead.
"I'm fine." Hermione laughed.
Ron and Harry looked at one another before grabbing Hermiones arms and dragging her down to the Medical Wing.
By the time they were down there Madame Pomfrey rolled her eyes at them when they told her Hermione was in too good of a mood. Madame Pomfrey took a look at Hermione who was glaring at her friends.
"There is nothing wrong with me!" She yelled storming out of the room.
Ron and Harry grinned sheepishly as they ran after her.
