NOTICE: Don't own any thing of J.K.R. except for the characters I made up…and I own the plot, 'course.

Happy Reading!

Neville Longbottom was not having a good time in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. He was bossed around by snobby Parkinson and because of his kind spirit, he did whatever she told him to.

"Argh, Longbottom, are you stupid? Get me my brush!"

"Er…ok…"

"Argh Longbottom, quit staring into space! It's so abnormal."

"Sure."

"Argh Longbottom, you smell like cottage cheese! Eat a breath mint."

"Alright."

"Longbottom! Those spells are hard! Explain it to me!"

"Ok."

Despite her constant shouting and ordering him about, the quiet Gryffindor boy felt a rather homey pleasure when he was spending time with the Slytherin girl. He really didn't mind her much, though he knew he should.

What's about her that I feel so attracted to?

"Argh! Longbottom! Quit staring at me! It's so gross!"

That's right…she sounds just like home…

Ron Weasley was not having a good time in Defense Against the Dark Arts class. They were left to practice defense spells with their partners and Ron had a certain fear of his partner.

What was it that Harry said about girls? Oh yeah, you're suppose to impress them. But how do I do that?

"Ron? Ron!"

"Huh? Here I am!"

Hermione sighed and flipped through the pages of Curse Glossary of the Centry and then sighed again.

"What do you think doing all this is for? I mean, getting partners and practicing all these spells..." she asked him suddenly. "what do you think the event is?"

Ron opened his mouth to say 'I don't know' but immediately stopped when he realized that did not make him sound smart.

"Er...well...accourding to my...erm...counculations...I think it's for trapping down that big ol' bird."

Hermione opened her mouth to answer but then frowned and decided against it. She shook her bushy brunette head then turned back to the book.

Ron watched her as she scanned the pages of the heavy leatherbound. He couldn't help but find her dark curls fascinating. He noticed a shower of freckles across her nose and started to count them. Hermione looked up and caught him staring.

"Ron?"

"Huh? 8!" he stammered

"What?"

"Oh um…nothing."

She gave him a concerning look and turned to grab another book off of the tall stack next to her.

When is things going to stop being so…awkward…how can I ever tell her?

Ron let out a groan of misery and slammed his head hard onto the desk.

Blaise Zabini was not having a good time in the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class. To him, and most of the school population, he has landed himself with the most odd partner in the world. He looked awkwardly at her as she stared dreamily out of the window.

"It's Thursday…" she said with a sigh.

"Yeah." He answered uncertainly.

"Knargles hunt on Thursdays…" she said and turned to look at him with her large sapphire eyes. For a moment he was caught in them. Trapped in the twinkling pools of blue.

"Why are you staring at me?" Luna asked slowly, her expression unchanging. Blaise was taken back.

"Uh, I…I"

He stopped when he realized that she wasn't listening anymore and was back to gazing out of the window.

To him, she was like a huge mystery. Sure, he was horrified when he first realized he got landed with Looney Lovegood, but as time passed, he found himself struggling to understand her.

Why does she act like the way she does?

Once again, the two fell into comfortable silence.

Ginny Weasley was not having a good time in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. She sat in absolute silence with a book covering her face. Every now and then, she would stealthily take a sneak glance over her book to look at her partner. He was always in the same laid-back pose, reading his 100 Permanent Jinxes to Scar Your Enemies For Life, and it seemed like he was onto the last ten pages.

This greatly disturbed Ginny.

Draco had had enough on the 17th time he caught her looking at him.

"Spill it out Weasley, what do you want?" he asked impatiently.

"Wha-What?" Ginny stuttered awkwardly, "No-nothing, nothing Malfoy." She quickly turned and grabbed another book to bury her head in. The last thing she needed was for Malfoy to bring up what she dreaded.

"You have your book upside down." The blonde boy pointed out.

Ginny slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She opened her mouth to retort but her partner cut her off.

"About Hogsmeade," he started lazily.

"No!"

They stared at each other in a few awkward minutes of silence.

He then raised a fine shaped eyebrow. She then faked a small coughing fit.

"I don't think you have a choice here Weasley. That day on the train…"

Ginny stopped coughing and waved a hand impatiently in the Slytherin's face.

"I know what happened on the train, we, that is Olivia and I, offered you lunch at Hogsmeade, but you refused." Then she added triumphantly, "so ha." And pulled her book over her eyes.

"Well now I take that back." Draco said with annoyance. He leaned across the table and pushed Ginny's book to the desk.

She looked up angrily. "Can't make me go." As soon as she said that, she knew it was a mistake.

Draco smirked slyly. "Ah…ok…Ginny Weasley, as you first task, you will go to Hogsmeade with me on October 30th to carry my belongings and buy me lunch. It's nothing drastic. I follow that you can do this."

"But what if I…I uh…that's dumb!"

"Too bad.You made a deal. You have live up to it, unless, Gryffindors aren't really as honest as they say."

"I'm going to the nurse!" Ginny yelled out suddenly and disappeared out of the class room.

I can't go to Hogsmeade with him! It's complete toture! Carry his stuff like a servant...what would people say?

But you did make a deal with him...a annoying wise voice said inside her head.

Damn!

Yes, she was definitely not having a good time.

Miss Vicky was havingthe time of her life in Defense Against the Dark Arts class. She was sleeping like she never had in weeks. Dreaming of bathtubs full of all the high heel shoes she could ever get.
