Chapter 2: The Breakfast Fiasco

"Aye, Harry," Ron's voice began.

"What?" Harry asked.

"Malfoy seems to be eyeing you from across the table."

Harry looked up, surprised. He glanced across the Great Hall to the Slytherin table, and sure enough, Malfoy was staring at him. Malfoy seemed to notice it too, because he quickly glanced back down at his Yorkshire pudding and began to eat, as if trying to hide something.

"You're right Ron." Harry replied, " Do I have some sort of disfiguration on my face or something?"

"Only its complete hideousness." Ron said, almost seriously.

Both boys then burst into fits of laughter and, for the moment, forgot about Malfoy's staring.

"Ahem."

Both boys turned around and saw Hermione standing by them with a look of slight annoyance on her face. "Now, we have to get ready for Charms with Professor Flitwick, I don't want to risk being late to his class, or we will miss part of the lecture, and I for one couldn't POSSIBLY imagine EVER being late for his class." She said seriously.

Harry and Ron both groaned in protest, but it had become almost habitual for the trio to do such things. Harry and Ron both swung their book bags over their shoulders and started to follow Hermione to the Charms corridor when an all too familiar voice sneered at them.

"Hey Weasley," Malfoy sneered as he walked between Crabbe and Goyle, "why were you staring at me earlier? Did you think my hair was real gold? I knew you were poor, Weasley, but I didn't know you were THAT desperate."

Crabbe and Goyle both chucked as Ron's ears turned bright red.

"Oh fuck off Malfoy. With your narcissistic attitude, you think everyone is staring at you." Hermione said in such a bold way both Harry and Ron, and even she herself was surprised.

Malfoy was taken aback, but only for a second. "Oh look, Weasley, you have your own little bodyguard. Well, from what she's doing, I'm glad you're paying her well, even if it isn't exactly with money."

Both Harry and Hermione quickly seized Ron as he began to make a charge in Malfoy's direction.

"Oh my, Weasel. It seems you have gone rabid. I do suggest you take some medication for that" Draco remarked with a laugh.

Ron stopped charging at Malfoy, and drew up to his full height. "And what," Ron hissed, "do you mean when you say that I'm paying Hermione?"

"Not only do you lack in wealth, but you must also lack in brains as well." Malfoy laughed, "Mudbloods are all little whores, and I'm not surprised if she tries to please you, or Potter, or even both at once!"

Even though Hermione still had a grasp on Ron, Harry snapped. Pulling out his wand, Harry used the Bat-Bogey hex; which Ginny taught him over the summer.

"Vespertilionis Oppugnare!" Harry yelled.

Immediately, dozens and dozens of small bats flew out of the tip of Harry's wand and started attacking Malfoy's face. Malfoy let out a howl and dropped into his knees as more bats continued to fly out of Harry's wand.

"POTTER! STOP THIS INSTANT!" A roaring female voice shouted. Harry turned around and saw a furious looking Professor McGonagall strode towards him.

"Professor, I can explain—"

"Oh no, Potter, I saw it all happen! What kind of stunt are you trying to pull here?" Professor McGonagall shouted loudly.

Meanwhile, Malfoy startled running in a circle. He was flailing his arms and screaming like a little child. When the bats finally diminished, Malfoy fell on the ground, blinking around with a confused look on his face. When he saw Professor McGonagall yell at Harry, a small smile began to spread on his face, but it was quickly abated by McGonagall's next words.

"Detention, the both of you."

"What?" Malfoy sputtered, "What did I do? It was Potter who—"

"I heard it all, Mr. Malfoy. I heard what you were saying to Miss Granger and Mr. Weasley before Mr. Potter attacked you, so don't even try to weasel out of this one." Professor McGonagall then looked at Harry and sighed. "And Mr. Potter, I am surprised at you too, I would have thought you had better control of your anger."

"I'm sorry Professor." Harry said.

"Yes, well, both of you will serve your detentions tonight cleaning up the Hospital wing." At this, Professor McGonagall turned on her heel and walked off, as Malfoy motioned to Crabbe and Goyle to do the same.


About 10 minutes later, as the trio walked off towards the Charms corridor, Ron began to rant about the breakfast fiasco.

"…as if Harry could have done anything else! Malfoy was being such a prick that I would have been surprised Harry DIDN'T do anything! Yet McGonagall punishes him just for doing what anyone else would have done? I mean, come on, 'or even both at once?' Malfoy has upset me today more than he ever had all these years put together!"

"Oh, Ron," Hermione began, "violence isn't the answer."

"Must you be a hypocrite, Hermione? You've done as much to Malfoy as the rest of us!"

"But have I ever been punished for cursing or hitting Malfoy?" Hermione pointed out.

"No, but that's because McGonagall likes you!"

"No, it's because the only times I've cursed Malfoy were in places where no teacher was in sight. Honestly, Ron, in the Great Hall, in front of every single teacher?" Hermione then turned to Harry. "Harry, truth be told—that was the absolute dumbest place you could have made an attack on Malfoy!"

Hermione was right, and both Harry and Ron knew that. Ron started cursing at Malfoy once again, while Harry realized something that both Ron and Hermione didn't notice: Malfoy had insulted both Ron and Hermione to no ends, but he didn't take a shot at Harry.

Why?


Mars Explorer- why would draco have a dream about cho of all people? ; update soon!

Who else? Malfoy obviously wouldn't dream about a Gryffindor or a Hufflepuff, that only leaves in Ravenclaws and Slytherins. Millicent is ugly, and Pansy is just...bleh. So on to the Ravenclaws -- and who is the biggest slut of all the Ravenclaws?
