Chapter Eighteen: Run in with the Ravenclaw and Lingonberry Soup

Draco was sound asleep until his pesky owl landed right on his face.

"Frickin bird...I wish I could kill it," Draco grumbled as he took the letter that the owl was delivering.

The owl screeched and flew to its cage. Draco started reading the letter:

Dear Draco,

What makes you think that I don't have a girlfriend? My girlfriend, Sahana, is a real catch. I bet she is way prettier than this Hermione girl you are talking about. You seem to really like this Hermione...I can tell. By the way, do you realize how dumb you sounded in your letter? "Oh no! She hates me so much! But I love her! Noooo! It's the bloody end of the world!." Just apologize to her, godammit. You don't get a lady's love by cutting yourself up, mate. The way to win a woman'a heart is to act like a gentleman, not by professing your undying love to her. She will just walk all over you then, because she will know that you will be broken-hearted if she leaves you, so that gives her an advantage. Just act like a normal human being. Wait first, before you do anything...just forget about Hermione. She has made it pretty clear that she doesn't want you. If you keep running to her, she will get annoyed. There are plenty of other fish in the sea. How about Blaise Zabini? She may have a big pain in the ass, but she is really sexy. If I didn't have my beautiful, wonderful, charming Sahana, then I would run off with Blaise. Dude, I have been in more relationships than you and that is saying something. And I am only thirteen! I am coming to Hogwarts soon (Confidential Business with Dumbledore...sorry can't tell ya!) so I expect to see you face-to-face. We haven't seen each other for ages, so this should be a good reunion. I can't wait!

-Alexander

(The other flaming hot sex god)

Draco smiled after he read the letter and wrote back:

Dear Alex,

This Sahana person is starting to make my mouth drool. I want to meet her one day. She seems cool...

Okay, I will try the apologizing method. But if she gets angry, I am holding you responsible! And no, I can't forget about Hermione. Apologizing to her is one thing (Malfoys don't apologize) but forgetting about her? You are mad...Blaise! Well, yeah I agree that she is rather sexy. Her bosoms are huge though. You have been in more relationships? Wow, you must really be a player. You are coming to Hogwarts? That is awesome! Maybe you can give me some tips on how to get Hermione. I can't wait either. Catcha later!

-Draco

(The ONLY flaming sex god)

Draco attached the letter to the infernal owl's leg and hurried to get dressed. He washed his face and brushed his teeth. Then he grabbed his towel and went to the Slytherin shower room. The shower room was deserted, so he stripped himself and went into the shower cubicle. He let the hot water rush over through his scalp and stayed like that for a few moments. The rush of hot water comforted him. He then began washing his hair and his body. He grabbed a shampoo bottle and started scrubbing his hair, forming thick foam. He rinsed his hair and his soapy body and got out of the cubicle to dry himself. Minutes later, he walked out of the Slytherin Shower room, fully dressed and smelling fresh like a spring evening. His hair was still wet, because he had no time to dry it. He ran to the Great Hall to get some breakfast. Suddenly, he bumped into a familiar girl. She looked very surprised but still happy to see him.

"Draco..." the girl said softly, while she twirled her hair with one finger.

"Cho," Draco said nodding to her. "How are you doing, my darling? Is everything all right? Mum ok?"

"Oh yes, we are all fine," Cho responded.

"Good. So, are you still going out with Potter? I haven't heard much about you two for some while. Pansy told me last year that you two were going out. Your relationship working out okay?"

Cho's eyes seemed to flicker for a minute, but Draco just supposed that he imagined it.

"Oh, um well...it didn't really continue. We sort of broke up. I hear he is going out with Weasley," Cho said simply.

"Ron?" Draco asked looking confused.

"No! I mean Weasley's little sister. You know, the one who broke up with Micheal Corner, my current boyfriend," Cho said laughing.

"Oh...well that is a relief. But, spreading around rumors that the boy-who-lived is gay seems like a pretty solid plan," Draco replied.

Cho hit him teasingly while Draco started poking her. Finally, Cho spoke.

"Well, I have to run to the library. I have to finish my Charms essay," Cho said.

"Okay, see you later Cho!"

"Bye Draco!"

Draco walked into the Great Hall. As he walked in, there was a sudden silence. He looked at everyone to see why they were so quiet. At the very second, a bucket of liquid spilled on his hair. The Great Hall erupted into roaring laughter. Draco looked very confused. He smelled of Lingonberry soup. He stared at everyone for an explanation. The answer to his question came right behind him.

"April Fools!" a familiar voice said behind him. Draco spun around to see Hermione clutching her stomach to stop laughing.

"Gotcha Malfoy! Now here is another surprise to make your day!" Hermione said happily. She walked up to him and planted a big kiss on his cheek. Both Draco and Hermione blushed. Fred Weasley came to their rescue by yelling, "Hey everyone! It's the Amazing- Lingonberry Smelling-Bouncing Ferret!".

This outburst didn't exactly help Draco because he was turning redder than before.

"Wow Draco. They got you good," a boy standing next to him said. Draco didn't recognize this boy. He seemed like a third-year by the look of his size. The boy started smiling and finally spoke, "My name is Alex. I have been your best friend for quite somewhile. We didn't meet for a long time, so I guess you wouldn't recognize me."

Draco's jaw dropped. Alex seemed to understand.

"Oh I guess I seem hotter in person, huh? Yeah, I get that move a lot from girls these days."

Finally, Draco's shock seemed to fade.

"Alex...it's great to see you. Let's go meet some people," Draco said joyfully.
