CH 4: El Goods
Cedric touched her hair with one hand. He tried to pay attention, but he couldn't get his mind off something. Suddenly Cho pulled away from him.
"Cedric, is something wrong?" Cho asked with a worried face. Cedric brushed his hair back and rested his hand on the back of his neck. "Well, is there? Because you haven't been talking lately and it seems your mind is always somewhere else?" Cho reached for his hand, but Cedric jerked away, but he soon felt bad for doing so. Cho gasped and clasped her hands over her mouth. Tears were beginning to form, she got up and ran away.

"So if you plug the quantity x plus 1 into the equation x squared," Alyssa scribbled some symbols and numbers on her paper, "the answer would be x squared plus two x plus one." Alyssa smiled to herself as she boxed the answer. Just as she was putting the piece of paper away, the door flew open and in came Cho Chang. She headed straight to her bed and plopped onto her bed, face first into her pillow.
Alyssa looked dumbstruck, but she was somewhat used to seeing Cho like this. If it wasn't Harry running off with Hermione then it was Cedric and his thickheadedness. Alyssa closed the drawer and locked with a key.
"Eeeughahhhw-why," Cho sobbed into her pillow and cried. "He doesn't love me, Alyssa," the words were starting to seem clearer now. Alyssa walked over to Cho bed, flipped her over so she could breathe, walked to her own bed, climbed in, and went to sleep without saying any encouraging words.
"Thanks Alyssa," Cho was confused but grateful for having someone there.

"F of x is x squared and g of x is x plus one," Mangala mumbled to herself, "so f of g of x is - wait," Mangala scratched her head. The problem had become even more confusing. "Ah, screw it," Mangala crumpled the paper into a ball and tossed it over her head.
"Stupid mudblood lover, making a messes for Kreacher to clean up." a wrinkled potato moved around the room pacing back and forth. "What would my mistress think? OH, my mistress would hate me, hate Kreacher," the potatoe threw its hands - more like twigs - in the air.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHH," Mangala screamed for the longest time.
"And now it hurts Kreacher's ears. Why must Kreacher suffer?" Kreacher, as the potato called itself, couldn't stand the noise and popped out of the room.
"What the hell Mangala?" Stine came bursting into the room, "You almost gave me a heart attack!"
"M-m-m-ahh! I was attacked by a potato!" Mangala flailed her arms.
"Uh, sure," Stine looked skeptical, "I' guess I'll just leave you alone with the potato then."
"No, no!" Mangala ran towardsd Stine and clung onto her for dear life, "Don't leave me with the potato."
"Er," Stine felt annoyed. This was just too much physical contact for her. "Well, left go of me first," Stine tried pushing Mangala off, but it didn't work. Instead, Stine lost balance and the both of them fell over.

"You brought it?" Draco looked around to make sure no one was watching him.
"Yea, yea Dracy. I got it. Hold your pants." Harrison took out a brown cloth back from the inside of his cloak. "Actually, let go of your pants." Harrison winked at Draco. "Wonder what everyone's been talking about, y'know? Especially Harry. Everytime I mention 'el goods de Draco' he spits out his drink and can't stop laughing." Draco's face turned bright red and his face twisted in anger.
"THAT'S IT! I DON'T CARE WHAT PRESENT YOU GOT HER, I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU!"
"Aw, but I love -" Harrison started teasing Draco.
"Forget it!" Draco pushed Harrison away from him and sped away as fast as he could. He'd had enough of Harrison and his cookiness.

'God this person has a lot of cra- I mean precious treasures that will be enough to send me home,' he thought to himself. He had to hurry before anyone came back. There was something huge in the safe and it was shiney. He grabbed it with his right hand, gripped it hard, and tried to take it out. It took a little more force than he'd thought. Just as he put his bag down, someone opened the door.
"Who's there?" Filch held a lantern up to see better. He saw a figure dash across the room and jump out of the window. "Goddammit," Filch closed the door. "We'll get 'em next time Mrs. Norris."
Arthur jumped out of the window. He didn't know what else to do. Why had he been so afraid of being caught? Isn't that what he wanted in the first place? Oh well, too late now. He was already out the window.
As Arthur flew out the window, time seemed to slow down. A slow gentle breeze seemed to suspend him in mid-airand another gust of wind passed through his hair. It ended though. Arthur landed on his feet. There wasn't a scratch on him. He took one step to get up, picked up his bag, and started off back to his dorm.
'I guess I'll have to find a way to get caught with this stuff.'

"Hermione," Ron poked her in the shoulder. Harry noticed that Ron was trying to get Hermione's attention, but he couldn't understand why. They were in potions class. Snape was lecturing about some potion that would make someone fall in love with you.
"Hermione!" Ron tried whispering louder and waving his hand in front of her when Snape wasn't looking. But it was no use, Hermione was clearly daydreaming.
"Do you know what's wrong with her?" Ron asked Harry. Harry didn't have a clue more than Ron did. "I think she's staring at Robertson," Harry replied casually.
"What!" in shock and surprise, Ron accidentally knocked his cauldron off the table.
"Mr. Weasley, do you plan on always interrupting my class or am I just lucky?" Everyone in the class was looking at Ron now, except for Arthur. Now that he had Hermione's attention, Ron wished he didn't.
"Perhaps since you crave so much attention Mr. Weasley, you could tell Mr. Robertson what I was just talking about for he seems to be asleep."
"U-uh, uh," Ron didn't know what Snape had been lecturing about and didn't even want to talk to or look at Arthur.
"50 points from Gryffindor for disrupting the class."
"But Professor," Harry hated when Snape took points away from Gryffindor for no good reason. "Robertson is sleeping though, shouldn't there be some points taken from Slytherin?"
"50 more points from Gryffindor, and if I hear any more from you Potter, you and Mr. Weasley shall have detention."
Harry didn't say any more, but he and Ron exchanged looks of anger. In the mean time, Hermione had gone back to staring at Arthur. He'd laid his head on the table, his cauldron was bubbling next to him. Arthur sat next to the window along with Draco. The afternoon sun shown in through the glass. It reflected upon Arthur's hair. The whole scene made him seem angellic and peaceful. Hermione smiled to herself and got lost even more.
Just behind Arthur and Draco sat Cindi and Chris. Chris Gentry was a tall and had beautiful blonde hair. Naturally, he was popular with the female population of Hogwarts - except Cindi. She preferred his twin, Nick.
Cindi tried following Snape's instructions that were on the board, but his handwriting was so horrible and small that she could decipher what he'd written. Cindi squinted and tilted her head. It was no use; there was no other way. She looked over to her right. Chris was doodling over a bit of parchment.
"Chris?" Cindi tapped him on the shoulder. Chris casually turned towards her. His big bue eyes and wavey hair glimmered in the incoming light.
"Yea?" he said in a low voice. Cindi took a moment before she said anything. Chris smiled at Cindi. "It's okay, girls act like this a lot around me," he chuckled.
"What?" Cindi was confused. "No, the sun was in my eyes and I couldn't remember what I was gonna ask you." Cindi shook her fist at the sun.
"Look," he grinned at her, "I understand that you are mesmerized by my charming good looks. There's no need to be ashamed."
"I-I-" Cindi stuttered, but was interrupted by Draco.
"You?" he said skeptically, "you're lucky if you can get a date to Hogsmeade." Nick sat back and folded his arms. He never turned down a challenge and clearly Draco was challenging him and his good looks. "Well YOU'RE one to talk. I heard that 'el goods de Draco' aren't doing too well this season."
"Wu-WHAT? How the bloody hell did you hear about that?"
"Excuse me!" shouted Cindi, "But all I wanted was to know what the frikken board says for number 3."
"NUMBER 3," shouted a high squeaky voice from the back of the room. It was Sadie. Cindi looked at the back of the classroom. Sadie wiggled her hand under her chin. Cindi winggled back. Apparently it was a common thing for them to do.
"Number 3 is to 'Stir with your stirring rod until the mixture turns blue, then quickly add epson salt and stir again until the mixture turns a darker shade of blue.' The end." Arthur took off his reading glassesand carefully put them back into its case.
"You wear glasses?" a whole semester had passed and Draco didn't know Arthur was capable of doing anything else but sleep and occasionally stare at the board, "I didn't know you could read!"

Jimmy walked into the Great Hall carrying his many books. As he was walking by the Slytherin table he noticed that Dianna was sitting alone. Now was his big chance. He set his books on the table and sat down next to her.
"Hullo!" Jimmy waved his hand enthusiastically. Disturbed and begrudgingly, Dianna put the book she was reading down. She hated to be disturbed, especially disturbed by someone she barely knew.
"I noticed you were sitting here all alone." Jimmy smiled widely, "What book are you reading? I, myself, am reading a wide array of books. You know, just something to pass the time."
Dianna didn't say anything back. In fact, she tried avoiding eye contact as much as possible.
"So what's your favorite book? Mine's the Odyssy or maybe Things Fall Apart by Chinhau. I also like the Harry Potter series. You know, I actually didn't like them at first. It was my sister, Cindi, who got me hooked."
Dianna still didn't say anything. She kept looking at the doorway to see if anyone she knew was coming. Anyone would do, as long as she knew them. She could pretend she had to go. Dianna needed any excuse she could get, anything to get away from Jimmy, but no one came. She was trapped.
"I also used to be in IRC before I came to Hogwarts. Did you ever join any clubs? I'm sure you did, you're really smart."
Dianna was beginning to get irritated by Jimmy. She didn't wanna say anything mean to him though. He was, afterall, Cindi's little brother that she loved dearly.
"I..." Dianna paused and hesitated.
"You love asian people too! OMG what a coincidence!" Jimmy smiled and clapped his hands like a kid - something he most likely got from Cindi.
'OMG Cindi, get here quick. I can't stand your brother. HELP ME!' Dianna faked a smile and chucked nervously.

Somewhere in a deserted corridor, there was a secret room. Well, maybe not that secret but Pansy liked to think it was. She tiptoed towards the door. Inside, there was a vast number of pictures of Draco Malfoy hanging on the walls. There were candles and insense decoratively placed about the room. In the center was the grand masterpiece of all - a miniature statue of Draco made out of Berttie Botts Every Flavor Beans.
Pansy sat her self in front of the statue. She looked into the face and sighed. Though it wasn't the real him, it was just as handsome, as cool, and as dreamy as the real thing. Pansy closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. She left the fume of the candles and incense intoxicate her. She was lost in another world - a world of Draco.
On the wall to her right one of the pictures was shouting. If one stepped up to it, one could clearly see a shirtless Draco shouting to be released from his captive and returned to its rightful owner.

"S I G H, sigh," Cindi dropped her book bag next tothe deskand free fell onto her bed. "What a day!"
"Tell me about it," Sadie took out her cherry flavored lollipop."But what happened to you?"
"Guys are weird, very weird."
"I agree."
"Yup, especially the guys I sit with in Potions."
"You mean Draco, Arthur, and Nick?"
"That's not Nick, it's Chris. Nick is must nice and less thickheaded."
"Ah, I see."
"So what happened to you today?" Cindi took off her socks.
"Fred and George have stopped talking to me." Sadie finished her lollipop and threw it in the trash can.
"No!" Sadie got another lollipop from a drawer and closed it loudly. "Yes!"
"That's evil," just then Kathy walked into the room and all went silent. "What is 'evil'?" Cindi was about to respond, but Kathy caught her, "Wait! Do I even wanna know?" Cindi and Sadie shook their heads. "Alright then, let's just end all conversation now because I am tired and I need rest."
Kathy climbed into bed and put out the lights. In the dark, Cindi and Sadie giggled. "Evil!" exclaimed Cindi in a whispered voice.
"Now what did I say about rest?"
"Shhhh!" said Sadie followed by Cindi's giggling. "Elbows!" Cindi exploded with more laughter.
"Do I need to get out my wand?" Kathy turned the light back on.
"NO!" they replied simultaneously.
"Okay then, let's be civil about this and GO TO SLEEP!"

"Alyssa, Cho, Alyssa, Cho," Cedric couldn't make up his mind. "Agh! Why can't I make up my mind! It should be this hard." Cedric paced back and forth; he'd been doing so for the past hour.
"Alyssa, that's it, Alyssa," Cedric turned around and bumped right into Mark. "Sorry man, didn't see you there."
"Were you just saying my sister's name?"
"No, of course not, don't be silly!" Cedric slapped Mark on the back and headed out of the common room. 'Gosh, I hope he doesn't find out. I know he's all calm and buddha like on the outside, but I'm sure he's a crouching tiger hidden dragon .'
A/N: Whoa! New people, aka people from Cindi's real life. Haha! I love the descriptiveness of Arthur and Chris. Seriously, they're really hot in real life. Oh and I got the idea for Pansy's Draco shrine from Hey Arnold , a cartoon on Nickelodeon. Long live the elbows!
Next Chapter: At this point, I don't really know what's going to happen next chapter, but you should really look forward to more Draco/Harrison moments and maybe a comeback of Kevin! Oh and maybe we'll find out if Cindi ever did come to rescue Dianna from the vapidness of Jimmy. And maybe a little more Mark action next Chapter? In future chapters, you should look forward to an explanation of Arthur's life as a thief.
