BECAUSE OF YOU

Ten things…

by: katorse

Counting the hands of the clock, tick-tock-tick-tock, he cannot seem to concentrate on the lesson in Arithmancy today. He can't seem to understand every single word Professor Vector had been saying for the past minutes now. Its like talking while your mouth is full. He was just looking blankly to the professor with his chin resting on his palm. If you don't know him very well you'll suspect that his mind is floating just it is right now.

Minutes had passed but it seemed like hours for Draco. He seemed to have his mind wandering around the halls just like the ghosts roaming around and flying through the walls. If you are only able to read someone's mind you won't see anything in this blonde guy's head except one particular person and that's the headgirl. It may be weird but it is. In fact, he is thinking of a way to talk to her more often and longer than he used to. How peculiar isn't it?

He opened his pouch, pulled out a piece of parchment, dipped his quill in the bottle of ink and began scribbling something which goes like this:

'10 Things I'd do to impress a girl'

He kept on scribbling stuffs on his parchment that he didn't notice the time. He didn't notice that it was almost time for a break.

Professor Vector didn't even give assignment to them and just dismissed the class.

Draco instantly stood up and smiled at the piece of parchment at his hand. He is going to do it, one way or another.

Meanwhile at the library, Harry and Ron are still researching on the particular potion that Snape had given for their long essay.

"What was that again?" Ron was a mess. He was such a mess that his hair was untidier than Harry's.

"Pansy juice potion, how can you ever forget that? It's named after Parkinson."

"Hey, wait! Is it Pansy? Oh, here it is!!!" Ron excitedly turned the page of the book to see the potion they've spent almost all of their time with.

"Okay, it says that pansy juice potion is one of the variations of love potions and is used to make a person fall for you. It is dropped on the person's eye… the first person that he or she sees is the one he or she will fall for."

"How long will it last?" Harry curiously asked.

"It can last for a day or two," Ron continued, "it may also last for long depending on the drops you put on the person's eye."

After reading the whole article Harry and Ron managed to write their own essay.

The dinner was quite fine. They had freshly roasted lamb, boiled red lobster, colorful vegetable chow mien added with different kinds of muffins and salad for dessert; and a pumpkin juice to quench their thirst. Seeing how indulged his two cronies are, he still can't have his appetite back. He's too preoccupied to even think of food.

Until something struck him, something went to his mind that put some excitement in his eyes. It gave shimmers like he has a plan on how to make his hungry stomach grab all the food on the table. But to all expense it has nothing to do with the food or even his hungry stomach. It has nothing to do with the food at all. He just remembered that he needed to finish writing something. And with that he opened his pouch and pulled the piece of parchment he used during Arithmancy.

That's right! He's going to continue writing the things he'll do to impress his girl, ten things to be exact.

On his list were:

I'll make my hair as sleek and shiny as possible. I'll tell her how many girlfriends I had, though I really had none… I'll throw her a dashing smile like what Lockhart used to do and say with my cutest voice 'Hey baby!' Wink at her every possible moment. I'll show her how good I am at Potions. I'll show her how good I am in distinguishing different creatures, though I really hate Care of Magical Creatures. I'll show her how good I am in Quidditch. I'll use my latest Draco Eau de Parfum. I'll use my very powerful sense of humor. And lastly… lastly… I'll just simply catch her attention. That it! HER ATTENTION!!!

 Sorry, that's all I can write for this chapter. I'm really looking forward to have more reviews…xiv
