Everything in life is a complete and utter oddity. I'm mean when I stumbled across a book on birthing I was of course shocked. The way we are born is odd. The way we live is odd. And many of the ways we die can be classified as odd as well. And nothing is normal at all. Oddness is the only thing left in this world. The only thing left is both good and bad oddness.

Hermione Granger scowled as she looked up at her favourite enemy, Draco Malfoy. Right now she didn't think the weight of his taunting would go down well with her over strung nerves.
"Fuck off Malfoy; I'm not playing your games today." She snarled and began standing up. He gave an evil smirk.
"You know what Granger?" He drawled. "I think you will dance to whatever tune I play. You don't understand the stakes yet." Draco was having the time of his life, watching that expression of anger spread until she shook with it. And this time he was safe in the knowledge that she would not say anything to Harry Potter and Ron Weasly. Her pathetic bodyguards.
"And what pray tell makes you think that Ferret?" Hermione sneered, ignoring the feeling of panic that threatened to overload her system. Draco Malfoy's smirk widened. Hermione got even madder.
"You couldn't make me do anything you wanted me to do, even with all that dirty pureblood money. Just because your father used to get people to do your work, doesn't mean it applies while he is locked up. You stupid spoiled Ferret." Hermione's fear factor rose when he didn't take offense, but widened that smirk.
"You'll regret all those comments Granger." Draco said coldly. Then he picked up a leather bound book. Hermione's eyes widened.
"Why pray tell, do you have that?" She asked.
"You would be amazed at what pops up when spells go wrong." Draco said gayily. "And what is left open for me to read. Shall I read it out Granger? Shall we share those nasty little scars you have with the world?" Hermione felt leg for their marks, feeling pain. She closed her eyes.
"What will take Malfoy?" She asked. Draco looked her up and down slowly.
"Do the homework by Friday Granger, and I will arrange a meeting later on in the week. Understood?" Draco said, and then considered just what he could do. His smirk grew when she nodded.
"Good girl. I'll see you later." And with that Draco Malfoy strolled out of the dungeon and left Hermione even lower than low.
