A/N: Um.55 REVIEWS WHOOOOOOOOO! Can I get a WHAT WHAT? Yeah! I'm so excited, I didn't think I'd get that many! You guys rock SO much. Keep up the good work, and please keep reviewing! *wink* By the way, you guys should be able to figure this chapter out. I mean, we're dealing with Draco, we can't expect him to just sit back and FAIL the stupid test, can we? Hehe. Don't ask. And also, the chapter title.heh heh I was listening to a Clay Aiken song (3 guesses what it was about) and I heard a line wrong, even though it was really easy to understand.I thought the wrong-heard line would be a good chapter title. ON with the show.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It wasn't like Granger ever said that I couldn't practice on animals.

She really should have been more specific. She knew I'd end up doing something she wouldn't approve of if she didn't clearly define what I should and shouldn't do in the world of Charms.

So, naturally, I took free reign with this.

I waited another week to take my plan into effect. After dinner on that Thursday night, I scoured the castle, searching for my newest victim. It really must have been a sign, therefore, that the first one I found was Mrs. Norris.

When I saw her, I was overcome with a joy I had never known before, not even with coffee. I know that's saying quite a lot, but it was true. I was going to live the dream of every student that had ever passed through Hogwarts during the reign of Filch: CORRUPT MRS. NORRIS.

I really should have just brought her back to my dormitory (as I couldn't get caught there.probably), but I didn't want her tainting it, so I just went to the library. I didn't care if I got in trouble. It would be worth it.

But I still should have gone to my dormitory. Will explain.

After several useless attempts (and my arms getting so scratched up and bloody I could barely move them, but I did anyway), I finally succeeded. And from that moment on, Mrs. Norris would be officially known as Mr. Norris.

Or at least, by me. I always kind of wondered what happened to Mr. Norris. I mean really, if she's a Mrs. Norris, then either there's a long lost Mr. Norris stranded in some dark alleyway in Taiwan living off what's left on the bones of fish from the trash barrel outside a restaurant, or.well, he croaked.

But there really had to be one. Or maybe Filch just never really thought it through. I suppose it will never be known.

I was celebrating my newfound triumph at finally conquering the sex change charm, when I decided I had better make sure I was able to correctly execute the charm. But now that I had sufficiently tainted Mrs. Norris (excuse me, MR. Norris), I didn't plan on changing him/her/it back.

But luckily enough, it was then that I found my newly sworn mortal enemy skulking around the restricted section.

No, unfortunately it was NOT Potter. Now THAT would have been sweet, sweet revenge. But it wasn't bad, all the same.

I dragged Crookshanks over to my lovely little secluded corner of the library (yes, it was the Snog Section, it was the only shielded area I could find.I'm sure the strange noises coming from behind the bookshelves would have implied a bit more than snogging to innocent passerby, though), as he screeched and clawed at me. My arms, however, were by that time too numb to feel anything.

As soon as I had performed the sex change charm and Crookshanks was finally free to attack me in all her Man-I-feel-like-a-woman ferocity, I heard Granger come in, calling for Crookshanks.

Fearing the consequences I would have to face if she found me, I hid under a random table and threw both cats clear over the nearest bookshelf. No, I am not an animal abuser. It's just that these particular animals happened to be human abusers, constantly torturing me. So I was really doing nothing wrong.

I had an impaired but still decent view from underneath the table. Granger seemed to be shocked that two cats had struck her from free fall, and was coming closer, trying to figure out the cause.

I was stupid enough to think she didn't see me. Sadly, however, she did. Granger leaned down to stare at me. "Malfoy.what are you doing down there?"

I shrugged. "I don't know. Seemed like a good place to study. Care to join me?"

Granger still stared. "Why did you throw my cat and Mrs. Norris at me? They could've died. Actually, I could have died too."

I took the opportunity to just stare back at her. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

Granger blinked at me. "I'm not stupid OR blind, you know. You really think I didn't see you dive under that table?"

"Actually, yes, I did."

"Well, I did. Care to explain?"

"Kind of."

"I don't care. What were you doing with my cat?"

I crawled out from under the table and stood up, careful to take a good few steps away from her, afraid. "Well.you, um.I wasn't really getting the sex change charm without practice and you TOLD me to practice, didn't you?"

Granger's eyes widened. "No, don't tell me you.you didn't.you didn't do that to CROOKSHANKS, did you? I swear, Malfoy, if you did."

I didn't really want her to finish. "Maybe?"

She swung her frightening, heavy-looking bookbag at my head. I ducked under the table, but when I returned, still scared, she seemed slightly calmer. Still not calm, but closer. "Why did you steal my cat?"

"Hey, I didn't STEAL your cat. It was just, you know, there."

Granger glared at me. "Change him back, now."

"Crookshanks is no longer a he; I'd appreciate it if you'd refer to her as a 'her' for as long as she is a woman."

"Which will be no longer! Change HER back! Happy?"

"Yes, I am. Thank you." I smirked.

"Move it."

"Yes ma'am." I picked Crookshanks up and put HER on the table. "Are you sure? Because I think you should really give this a try before you-"

"Yes."

"Okay."

And, alas, I did have to change her (now a him, so will now be referred to as such as of now.confusing? I don't really think so) back. Granger smacked me when I handed him back to her.

It hurt.

But suddenly, Granger remembered something. "Wasn't Mrs. Norris here, too?"

I shook my head. "No."

She frowned. "Yes she was."

I shook my head again, and I was telling the truth. "I'm sorry, but Mrs. Norris is no more. There is now only Mr. Norris."

Granger sighed. "Malfoy-"

Once again, I shook my head. "Nope, not changing him back. I assure you I have done the entire student population a favor by this."

Granger looked at me for a minute, before finally saying, "You know what? Fine. I'm just going to let it go. But if Filch finds out you kidnapped his cat, I was never involved. Isn't that right?"

"Sure is."

"Well.I was going to just go find you to study some more, but obviously you've improved your sex change charm. I guess I'll let you go for tonight."

I shrugged. "Good with me." I started to walk away. "See you, Granger."

"That's another thing! Don't call me Granger. It makes me feel like a bloke. I don't care if you hate me, but I stop calling me by my last name."

Okayyyyyyy.that was completely out of the blue. But it was a lie; I didn't HATE Granger anymore, I just liked to annoy her.

"That was random, HERMIONE."

"I know, but I just felt the need, and thank you. I just don't want you calling me Granger for another month. I feel better." She pulled on her bookbag and began to walk away.

"Oh, and HERMIONE?" I couldn't just let this go completely.

"Yes?"

"In that case, you have to call me Draco." Smirk. But really, the only one that really called me Draco was Pansy. Malfoy makes me feel trapped. It robs me of my identity. It suffocates me slowly until my last breath is gone and I die slowly and in immense pain.

Okay, not really. But if I had to call her by her first name, then she had to call me by mine.

She shrugged. "If you want me to."

"Okay. Goodnight, HERMIONE."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I went up to Granger-oops, I mean HERMIONE-in the Great Hall the next morning after breakfast, right before classes started. Potter and Weasley were there as well, but I ignored them. I grinned at her. "Hey, HERMIONE."

"Can I help you with something?" She was bent over her bag, trying to stuff an enormous book into it.

"Just thought I'd run something by you."

"Oh, really. And what would that be?"

"Well, I've been thinking. I'm having this test in three weeks. Now that I've finally begun to get a handle on this whole sex change business, I'm thinking we should work on the other one charm I'm having trouble with."

She waited for me to clarify. "And.?"

I smirked. "Say it with me, Hermione: CONTRACEPTIVE CHARM. We can work on the contraceptive charm together! Won't that be fun?"

I had practically screamed this, and I could really only imagine how wrong it sounded to everyone else in the Great Hall, most particularly Potter and Weasley. Hence my reason for doing it.

Everyone simultaneously turned to stare at us. Hermione ignored them. "While I know that you only did that to attract attention and just.you know, be a pervert, you're actually right. It's a difficult charm. I think we should work on it."

That was a priceless reply. I could sense the vibes from every other occupant of the Great Hall. I could actually *hear* everyone cringing from the burning mental images they must have been getting.

"Awesome! We're going to have so much fun! Contraceptive charms are the coolest, aren't they, Hermione? Tee hee!" I just felt like being a spaz.

Hermione stared at me. "Sure. Why not?"

"Honestly, Hermione. You're so giving and thoughtful, what with all the help you've been giving me in Charms. It's just so nice of you! I owe you soo much!" And that.I just felt like annoying her.

"You should really try a sedative, you know."

"I know."

By now, the Great Hall had emptied out and it was time to go to class. We had Potions. As we walked down the corridor, she continued. "You're right, though. You do owe me."

That's not cool. I had mellowed out and was no longer spazzy.just annoyed. "Uh huh.so what do you want? Sexual favors, maybe? After all, as long as you help me master the contraceptive charm, I'm not seeing a problem there."

She rolled her eyes. "For starters, you could be less annoying."

"Never gonna happen. Sorry. But you know what I'll do if I pass my test?"

"What's that?"

"I will.um, go to Healing school?" I couldn't think of anything that she definitely would refuse at the moment.

Hermione blinked. "I would have thought that went without saying."

"If I pass, I'll snog you, then. I swear I will." Okay, not really. But I could always lie.

She stared at me. "What makes you think I'd want you to snog me?"

"Oh come on, Hermione. I am SUCH a babe. I know you want me."

"Sure I do."

"You do. Don't even deny it." And it was true.

A/N: Well that was an odd chapter.I know, Draco's acting totally randomly and can be OOC at times, but I still think he stays true to his character in this story, so if you don't, feel free to tell me. But don't yell at me because he's being spastic.that's just the way some people are! DON'T JUDGE ME! Okay, sorry. I hope you guys think that this chapter wasn't too corrupted.and thanks again for the reviews!

Muchas gracias (hehe, el espanolo!): RivanKnight, Ehlonna, and DanishGirl. LOVE YOU GUYS!

RikuNghts: I hope you think what Draco did wasn't too stupid/messed up. It's just something I would have done.except I would have taken a cat with three legs and one eye, just so I could make fun of it.lol, I know I'm horrible. And I know, Draco's HOT in the PoA trailer.OW! Sexy kind of! Sorry.

burgundyred: I always try to respond to reviews if there are questions/comments that need answers. Even if there aren't, I feel I should thank people personally. But anyway.when I wrote that one passage I was very tired and my mind was working slowly, so now I see where you got confused. Uh.I guess it means 'yeah, right' that he doesn't regret it and he IS addicted, but I definitely see what you're saying. Thanks for pointing that out. Find anything else, let me know!

relena333: Yeah, I've been meaning to read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, I've heard it's really good. As soon as I get around to finishing the LoTR books.I'm so lazy. I'm too lazy to even READ. And weird moods are perfectly acceptable, as I'm often in one!

Redundant Goddess: Possible best fic you've ever read? *faints* *wakes up* Wow, thank you! Never expected that. Sarcasm es moi (Spanish and French and English all in the same sentence.ooh I'm going to die with the linguisticness of my typing hehehe), and I am just.you know, a pervert. I can't help it. So it's really quite easy to think of perverted things for Draco, as their mostly things I've said myself. But seriously, thank you. And.um, PIES to you too!

Gingitsune Girl: Hehehe, thanks! There probably are (or will be, don't worry O.o) points in this story where Draco seems love struck, insane, perverted, and slightly gay. Not that he IS gay.I just like to make fun of him. Lol. Thanks so much, you made me day. And btw, don't worry, I'll R/R your story the next spare minute I have. I haven't had any time to yet, but I will.

kiwi: Don't worry, I always review stories and forget to review, and I ALWAYS mean to, I just forget. Oops. Anyway, he's just not a mushy guy in my story, he just might be a wee bit sensitive VERY deep down (even though he'll never admit it), and he is not going to be in love with Hermione all of a sudden. I do warn all of you, however, that he will be.eventually. *smirk* How I love to bait you peopl. J/k. And.well, I didn't have them kiss yet, as they don't even like each other, but.he THREATENED to kiss her, so that's close enough.

In Dreams: Well, you can marry Zaitzev, since no one else will have him. Aww just kiddin, I love my Zaitzev. But you can still marry him, lol. I'm glad you're not sick of the sugar quill thing, because I WILL NEVER BE. Lol. Agreed, Cap'n Jack is THE MAN, and he's not gay. You can leave a review every day if I'm too lazy to update. I won't mind. Lol, reviews=gooooood. Enjoy your sugar quill, then!

Meggles: *rolls eyes* Sure. Don't have anything to say to you, except I'll see you later. BUT TELL EVERYONE HOW PERVERTED I AM! HEHEHE! YAY!

Okay. PLEASE R/R EVERYONE! I'LL LOVE YOU ALWAYS!

All the love,

Xar
