Love, Lies, Mercury Messaging, and iPods
Disclaimer: I do not own JK Rowling's lot, nor do I own lyrics or the electronic devices used in this story. The story is mostly in Mercury Messenger conversations. Hogwarts receives electricity now, therefore, they have their own Internet and messenger program. Only students can access this program, which leads to Ginny meeting someone from Hogwarts. The point of the story is that Ginny is trying to figure out who the guy she's falling in love with really is.
Chapter 1: Lady Wisteria Winter 17
"So in conclusion, when you come back next year for school, Hogwarts will have Internet, Mercury Messenger, and many other electronics you can access. Hogsmeade will be opening a store called Sam Goody; you can pick up your CDs, DVDs, video games, and other parts there. I'm hoping this will be a great success."
Ginny Weasley opened her eyes, her ears covered with the headphones to her iPod. She remembered the announcement Dumbledore had made the last night of school last year. She was extremely excited to use the Internet and meet new people online. She sighed and looked out the carriage window. The Hogwarts castle was slowly approaching and butterflies rose in her stomach.
Ginny was pulled out of her reverie by her friend, Colin Creevey, "So, Ginny, what's your screen name going to be?"
Ginny shrugged, "I haven't really thought about it."
Colin replied, "Well mine's going to be digitalcreevey92."
Ginny made a mental note, so she would not forget. Then she pondered on what hers would be.
She turned to the boy, "Colin, please don't ask where this came from, but I shall have my name be LadyWisteriaWinter17."
Colin smiled, "I like it. How'd you come up with it?"
Ginny shrugged, "I have a lot of creativeness running loose up here." She pointed to her red head.
Colin chuckled and continued flipping through his comic book.
Within the next ten minutes, the carriages reached the castle and Ginny and Colin scrambled to the Gryffindor table to get a good seat. The dinner went smoothly; the food was delicious. As soon as Dumbledore dismissed them, Colin and Ginny, who were sitting in the far back, raced up to the Gryffindor portrait hole.
The Fat Lady asked in a manly tone, "Password?"
Ginny and Colin piped, "Unicorn gizzard!"
The portrait flung open and Ginny shoved Colin out of the way, yelling over her shoulder, "Create your account and get on straight away!"
Colin nodded and sped up to the boys' dormitories.
Ginny created her account, but she had to try three times before getting through. Finally she sat online and waited impatiently for Colin to sign in. While waiting she surfed the web, looking at pictures of famous Quidditch players and exploring the art of creating cartoon dollies. A noised popped and in the lower right hand corner of her screen Ginny read:draconis13 has signed in. She shrugged and clicked on the infamous draconis13's name.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Hello. Who's this?
The boy who happened to be on the other end was none other than Draco Malfoy. He read the message and then replied.
draconis13: Who is this?
Ginny wrinkled her nose and typed.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: I asked you first.
Draco bit his lip.
draconis13: It isn't safe to give out personal information over the Internet.
Ginny shook her head and typed.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: This is Hogwarts's network and Hogwarts's network only. I don't think some psycho is going to hack into your computer and then come after you during the midst of the night, loser.
draconis13: You never know. Besides, I'd rather stay anonymous.
Ginny shrugged and typed.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Do as you please. I could care less.
Ginny decided she would rather much not talk to this guy and wait for Colin. Finally he signed on.
digitalcreevey92: Is this Ginny?
Ginny smiled and clapped her hands together.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Yay! Colin! What took you so long?
digitalcreevey92: I found an awesome photography website! It's really cool. So what have you been doing?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: I'm listening to my iPod and looking at pics of celebrities. Oh I was also talking to this guy.
digitalcreevey92: Cool. Do you know if Harry has a screen name?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: I don't think that many people are online yet, figuring we sped all the way up here. Lol.
digitalcreevey92: Yeah that's true. We need to get as many people on our lists as possible. This thing is awesome!
LadyWisteriaWinter17: I know! I'll tell you when I get Harry's. Okay? I have Lavender's-princess-lavvie and Seamus's-seamusfinnegan87.
digitialcreevey92: Cool, thanks. I have Neville's-longbottomneville9 and Pansy Parkinson's-prettyparkinson18. Not that you wanted hers.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Lol. I don't care. Thanks.
digitalcreevey92: I'll be right back.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Okay.
Ginny waited for Colin to come back. She tuned her iPod in to The Killers. But the guy she was talking to earlier left another message.
draconis13: So what kind of music do you like?
Ginny answered.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Rock. Heavy, emo, punk, pop, anything with a guitar.
draconis13: Me too. My favorite bands are Taking Back Sunday, Bright Eyes, Three Days Grace, The Shins, The Killers, Eisley, AC/DC, The Vines, and the Strokes.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: I love the Vines and Taking Back Sunday! You are a male, right?
draconis13: Yes. What year are you in?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Fifth. You?
draconis13: Sixth. So…what house are you in?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Gryffindor. What house are you in?
draconis13: Slytherin. Know anyone over here?
Ginny thought. She wanted to sound cool. Who was cool in Slytherin?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Yeah, Draco Malfoy.
Draco cocked an eyebrow. Someone was quite a liar.
draconis13: Really?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Yeah, we're pretty close.
Draco clucked his tongue.
draconis13: That's cool. I really don't know the guy. He seems like an ass.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Think what you want. What does 'draconis' stand for?
draconis13: My name.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: What's your name?
draconis13: Nice try. I'm not going to tell you my name.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Whatever.
Colin had gotten back from the bathroom.
digitalcreevey92: I'm back Gin.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: What were you doing?
digitalcreevey92: I was in the water closet.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Ah, I see.
digitalcreevey92: Well I'm gonna go. Tyler and I are gonna play a new video game he picked up before he came to school. Cya.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Sounds cool. Have fun. Au revior.
Colin signed off. Ginny was left with her anonymous Draconis.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Are you going to tell me anything about yourself?
draconis13: I'm an only child of a rich family. I'm tall, not dark, but handsome. I like rock, I can't stand preps, I have freckles, but I cover them up in the morning, I drink black coffee, and yes, I am taken; I have a dog.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Lol. You sound a lot like me. Thought I don't date my dog.
draconis13: What can I say? I'm a loser.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: I'm a bigger loser.
draconis13: Hey, I can't argue with that. ;-)
LadyWisteriaWinter17: You're an asshole.
draconis13: I know. But you're not so innocent yourself, Lady WW.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: I never said I was. Change of subject, do you play any musical instruments?
draconis13: Guitar, piano, and trumpet.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: I play violin, piano, and clarinet.
draconis13: Are you in the Hogwarts Orchestra?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Yes.
draconis13: What chair?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: First.
draconis13: I'll look for you tomorrow.
Ginny cursed. Now he would know who she was, but she wouldn't know him.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: This isn't fair.
draconis13: Hey, I wasn't the one who slipped.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Well I would like to know who you are.
draconis13: Well let's just say that every Wednesday morning at ten, the keys are played reversed. The sound of loneliness makes me happy.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: What the hell is that supposed to mean?
draconis13: If you're smart enough, you'll find me on Wednesday.
He signed off, leaving Ginny puzzled and very frustrated. She signed off and took a shower, his words swirling in her head. What the hell did he mean? She slipped under the covers and turned off the lights, trying her hardest to imagine what he looked like.
On Tuesday morning Ginny woke up and hooked her iPod up to her computer and blasted it. She had her own dorm room. The girls' dorms were inhabited by two females per room. Gryffindor had an odd number of girls and Ginny received her own room.
She took a shower and changed into her school uniform. She was jumping around her dorm room when her computer made a noise. She made her way over to the computer and read the screen. It said: You have received an e-mail message from draconis13. Ginny opened the message and read.
LadyWW-
I'll be looking forward to seeing you in orchestra today. Wear your hair up in pigtails so I know who you are. If you follow directions, maybe, just maybe, I'll give you another clue as to who I am.
-Draconis
Ginny deleted the message and went to the bathroom to put her auburn hair into pigtails. She came out five minutes later and grabbed her packed bag, slinging it over her shoulder. She grabbed her wire-framed glasses on the way out and went to her first class: orchestra.
Ginny sat down in first chair and put her clarinet together, while barely listen to her friend, Laila, blab on about her boy problems. Laila and Ginny were complete opposites. Laila liked flirting and wearing pink mini skirts. Ginny, on the other hand, liked rock music, and faded blue jeans and a baggy sweatshirt worked just fine for her. Although Laila also played clarinet, and was in second chair, Ginny was a whole lot more skilled than the blonde.
Laila complained, "And then he said that he would rather talk to Ashley than me!"
Ashley was another girl in Ginny and Laila's so called 'clique.' Even though she would play happy friendly around Ashley, Laila claimed she hated Ashley's guts.
Ginny rolled her eyes and was about to comment when the orchestra director, Professor
Nilsson rapped his director's stick on the stand, "Quiet people. Let's warm up. Chromatic scale!"
Ginny put her reed to her mouth and played. Draco Malfoy was up near the top of the band, pretending to play. He was in actuality looking for Lady Wisteria Winter. His eyes fell on the first chair clarinet player. His eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw Ginny Weasley sitting there, prim and proper, her back as straight as a board. Could this be? He shook his head. The girl he was looking for had lied about being friends with him, so she could have possibly lied about this. But Ginny was wearing her auburn hair in pigtails. Throughout the orchestra rehearsal, he had to tell himself it was a joke. Ginny Weasley was definitely not Lady Wisteria Winter.
Ginny brought a forkful of spaghetti to her mouth, wondering ifDraconis had seen her during orchestra. Her thoughts, much to her dismay, were interrupted by Ashley.
"Has Laila said anything about me?" she asked suspiciously.
Ginny sighed, put her fork down, and dabbed her mouth with a napkin, "The last thing I heard her say was that Tyler Hollinger said he would rather talk to you than her and that she hated your guts. She's overly dramatic and you two seem to get along fine, so, please, tell me what the hell your guys' problem is!"
Ashley flinched, "I do not have a problem. It's her! She thinks that I'm too promiscuous and that I steal all her boyfriends. She's like a frickin' vulture."
Ginny narrowed her eyes, "I suggest you get a better friend, who won't be jealous of you. Now please spare me the drama and keep me out of your cat fights."
She picked up her fork and finished her lunch, without being interrupted by Ashley.
It was Ginny's last class: potions with Professor Snape. Potions was Ginny's best class, partly because she was the teacher's pet. She knew it too. She wasn't stupid. In fact, she was the smartest student in her class. She was the only one who answered Snape's questions and the only one who could complete every essay, potion, or speech correctly. She had no pity for the others, who didn't even put fourth effort.
Professor Snape turned on his heel and started walking towards the front of the room, "Now, can anyone tell me what the Elixir of Life is and what its effects are?"
Ginny's hand shot up in the air, straight as a broomstick. Snape, without turning around, called on her, "Yes, Miss Weasley?"
Ginny recited an answer, "The Elixir of Life is a potion that grants immortality to the one drinking it. It has a rare ingredient in it, one that is produced by the Philosopher's Stone. Nicholas Flammel is the only wizard known to have possession of it."
Snape replied in a monotone, "Very good, Miss Weasley. Now, there is another potion that is related to the Elixir of Life. This potion can put one into a sleep so deep that it resembles death. One that drinks this potion could sleep for years, even centuries, therefore making themselves immortal-like. What potion am I talking about?"
Ginny's hand shot up once more.
Snape coolly responded, "Put your hand down, Miss Weasley. I want to hear what the rest of these dolts on a log of students have to say."
The room sat in thick silence.
Snape raised an eyebrow, "No one? Very well. Miss Weasley, you receive an Excellent for the week. As for the rest of you, you all receive Terribles! If I wanted Miss Weasley to be the only one in the room answering questions and taking notes and doing everything correctly, I would have had her be the only one in the class! You're all a disgrace! Get out of my classroom! Now! Get out, get out, get out!"
The fifth year students scrambled toward the door, afraid that Professor Snape would hex them into next year. Ginny stayed behind and waited for Professor Snape at his desk.
Snape glanced at her wearily, "What do you want, Miss Weasley?"
Ginny asked cheerily, "Could I have today's assignment? I would like to have it done for tomorrow."
Snape looked around and then offered his answer, "You won't have an assignment for tonight. Run along and go eat your dinner."
"Thank you, Professor, "Ginny replied and wandered out the doorway.
Ginny sat down at the Gryffindor table, her plate full of Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, carrots, a yogurt cup, and a glass of pumpkin juice. Ron grabbed a carrot stick off her plate and dunked it into his dip, chewing nonchalantly.
Harry nudged him and he immediately shut his mouth. Hermione rolled her eyes and turned to Ginny.
"So, I heard about some breakdown Professor Snape had during your class? What happened?"
Ginny smirked and put down her spoon, "He was tired of me always answering his questions, me being the only one taking notes, me being the only one performing the projects correctly. He told the rest of the class that they were a bunch of dolts on a log. Then he told me I would receive and Excellent for the week and that I didn't have any homework."
She continued eating while the Trio's jaws dropped.
Harry sputtered, "No homework? That's not normal of him!"
Ron spat jealously, "But she's the teacher's pet, remember? She's worse than Hermione!"
Hermione gasped, "Hey!"
Harry answered, "He's right, 'Mione. But, I agree, Ginny's definitely worse."
"I only want to get out of Hogwarts alive. The only way to do that is to study hard, do my homework on my own, pay attention, and take good notes. I also have learned that in able to perform well, you must present yourself well. Sit up straight, head raised high, and quill poised in hand ready to write. It helps and it makes you feel and look smarter."
Hermione put her nose up in the air and stuck her chest out, "See? Didn't I tell you?"
Ron grimaced and Harry rolled his eyes.
Ron decided to change the subject, "So, I'm making a big list of contacts on messenger and I need all of your guys' screen names."
"Mine is GryffindorSeekerPotter6." Harry informed his red headed friend.
Ron wrote it down on a piece of scratch paper and turned to Hermione.
She replied, "My screen name is bookworm813."
Ginny told her brother impatiently, "LadyWisteriaWinter17. Speaking of messenger, since I'm done with my dinner and since I don't have any homework, I'm going upstairs to get online. Talk to you later."
Ginny sauntered up to the portrait hole and muttered the password. She signed on and studied her online contacts. Colin, Tyler, Laila, Parvati, Draconis, and Natalie (her best friend from Ravenclaw.) She made conversations with Colin and Natalie.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Hey Colin!
digitalcreevey92: Hey Gin. What's up?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Not much. Can I invite Natalie to the conversation?
digitalcreevey92: Sure, why not?
NatalieGreene5 has been added to the conversation.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Hey Nat!
NatalieGreene5: Bonjour Ginny and Colin!
digitalcreevey92: What's up Nat?
NatalieGreene5: I'm typing an essay for McGonagall's class. You?
digitalcreevey92: Oh I've got all my homework done already. It helps when you have a study hall for last class. ;-)
NatalieGreene5: Oh, pish Colin. Pish.
Ginny smiled, happy that her two best friends were socializing well. She put the Killers on her iPod and watched to two chat until someone brought her into another conversation.
draconis13: I think I saw you today during orchestra.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: You think?
draconis13: Yeah, I think. But I'm not sure if it was you.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Oh, I see.
draconis13: I guess it's up to you to figure out who I am now, huh? Anyhow, how was your first day of school?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Good, actually. I got all of my homework done. But that's not saying much because Snape didn't give me any homework.
draconis13: Really? Interesting.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: I know. How was your day?
draconis13: Good, though I couldn't get you out of my head.
Ginny swallowed dryly. She barely knew this guy and he was acting like he was obsessed with her! She went back to her other conversation.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Guys, I'm talking to this guy and he's totally creeping me out.
NatalieGreene5: What do you mean?
digitalcreevey92: Who is he?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: I met him last night and I asked him how his day went and he said he couldn't get me out of his head! It's creepy!
NatalieGreene5: That is creepy. Just ignore him.
digitalcreevey92: Hey, that's what I was just going to say!
Ginny chuckled as her two friends began bickering. Soon she jumped at the sound of someone talking to her.
draconis13: You still there?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Yes.
draconis13: What were you doing?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: That's none of your business.
draconis13: Sheesh! Touchy?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: No, I just don't need a stranger poking around my personal life.
draconis13: I thought you said Hogwarts's network was safe?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Go fuck a hippogriff.
draconis13: My God, I didn't do a goddamn thing to you, bitch!
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Whatever, I don't care.
draconis13: I'm not going to put up with this shit. E-mail me when you're in a better mood. See you tomorrow, maybe.
He signed off leaving Ginny in a huff.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: I hate him!
NatalieGreene5: Who?
digitalcreevey92: Who?
Ginny shook her head and smiled.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: No one. Never mind. I have to go. Bye.
NatalieGreene5: Au Revior!
digitalcreevey92: See you tomorrow.
Ginny signed off and changed into her rubber ducky pajama pants with a blue and white Ravenclaw Chess Club t-shirt. She let her hair down and combed it with her fingers, leaving a flipped out, punk rock effect. After slipping on her blue and white striped Converse shoes, she grabbed her book bag and fastened it over her shoulder, letting it fall into place next to her hip. She walked out onto the quad feeling very comfortable and wanting to get away from the social animals of the school.
It was nearly seven o'clock and the sun was still up, though slowly setting in the September sky. Ginny wandered over to the usual willow tree she sat at when she needed to think, and sunk down to the ground, looking across the lake at the setting sun. It was kind of hot, but with a friendly breeze that ruffled her hair in front of her face. She tucked it away behind her freckled ear and was biting her nails when she heard a voice directly above her.
"Real cute, Weasley. I love your pants."
She jumped and looked up to a branch where Draco Malfoy, still dressed in his uniform, sat throwing nuts over the side of the tree.
Ginny wrinkled her nose, "How'd you get up there?"
Draco looked down at her and replied in a monotone, "I climbed up here. How do you think?"
Ginny shrugged, "This is my tree, you know."
Draco shook his head, "No, it's mine."
"Is not! I found it first." Ginny argued.
"Is so! I attended Hogwarts first, princess." Draco scoffed.
Ginny crossed her arms over her chest, "We can share it if you stay up there and I stay down here."
Draco squinted against the sunlight, "Fine by me."
There was an uncomfortable silence.
"It's a beautiful evening, don't you agree?" Draco asked.
Ginny sighed, "Yeah."
Draco questioned, "Why are you out here?"
Ginny shrugged, "What's it to you?"
Draco snarled, "Sheesh. Touchy are we? I was merely trying to be kind."
Ginny's stomach tightened. 'Calm down,' she told herself. 'There's no connection.'
"I thought Malfoys weren't kind." She shot at him, trying to cover up her hesitation.
Draco shot back, "Maybe this Malfoy's different."
The two sat watching the landscaping in silence. Ginny grew bored and pulled out her iPod. She was listening to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs when a nut fell upon her head. She glared up at Draco, who stared down at her, trying to look innocent.
Ginny pressed pause and scathingly asked, "What do you want?"
"What are you listening to?"
Ginny grinned, "Come down here and I'll let you listen."
Draco bit his lip in thought. Then without warning, he jumped down from his height of nearly fifteen feet.
Ginny stared, astonished, "Are you suicidal?"
He chuckled and sat down, motioning for the iPod. Ginny gently placed the earphones on his head and pressed play, handing the iPod to him. He listened and drummed his fingers against the iPod approvingly. As his eyes scanned the lake, his head bopped back and fourth, a grin popping up now and then. After listening to the first three songs, he stopped the iPod and handed it back to Ginny.
"I love the Yeah Yeah Yeahs." He grinned mischievously.
Ginny glared at him, "You knew who they were all along?"
He nodded, a smirk plastered on his pale face.
"You little sneak! I'll kill you!" She threatened him.
His smirk disappeared and he quickly made his way back up the tree. He looked back down at her, but she had already put on her headphones. He shrugged and continued throwing nuts onto the ground below him. Ginny pulled out a book: Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman: Duty and Desire. She read and listened to music for almost an hour and a half while Draco stayed in his spot, unmoving, except for the circular motion of his arm throwing nuts.
At eight forty-three, Ginny put her book and iPod away. The sun was now a violet-red sliver on the other side of the lake. She sighed and stood up, looking up at Draco, who was now a dark figure sitting amongst the branches.
"Hey, Malfoy?" She called for him.
She got the response, "Yes?"
"It's nearly nine. You should come down." She suggested quietly.
Draco snarled, "What are you, my mother?"
She shrugged and turned away from him, "It was nice chatting with you. See you some other time."
Draco furrowed his brow, "Yeah, later."
Ginny slowly walked back up to the glowing castle. Draco watched her back retreat all the way into the castle before coming down. He shoved his hands in his pockets and went inside.
Ginny sat down at her computer and signed in. The only person that was on was Draconis. She wearily forced herself to talk to him.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Sorry I was such a bitch earlier.
draconis13: No problem. I don't mind.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: So how about giving me a hint so I can find you tomorrow?
draconis13: I'll be somewhere near the orchestra room around ten.
draconis13: Good enough hint for you?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Yeah. So what did you do tonight?
draconis13: I hung out outside.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Me too. I was reading.
Draco's heart jumped. Ginny had been reading. And Ginny was the girl in the band room. Maybe Ginny was Lady Wisteria Winter 17. He pushed the thought out of his head.
draconis13: Cool. So…you like anyone here at Hogwarts?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: That's a personal question. Lol. I thought I didn't like anyone, but after tonight for some reason, I feel like I have a little crush on this guy.
draconis13: And who is this guy?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Draco Malfoy.
Draco's mouth fell open. She liked him. But she hadn't even met him! But once again, his thoughts led back to Ginny. She had been with him tonight. He had to face the music: Ginny Weasley was his Lady Wisteria Winter 17. But he wouldn't let her know he knew.
draconis13: Cool.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Yeah.
There was a long pause.
draconis13: Every year there's a Halloween Ball, right? Figuring you're a fifth year you can come. And if this Draco Malfoy doesn't ask you out and if you don't figure out whom I am, would you like to go with me? It's a masquerade ball this year so at the end of the ball it would be a surprise when we reveal ourselves. What do you say?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: That sounds really neat. I'll go with you, supposing that all that other stuff doesn't happen. But you know, that's almost a month away.
draconis13: I know. I just wanted to ask ahead of time.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Okay. I'm off to bed. Talk to you tomorrow.
draconis13: Alright. Until tomorrow. Bye.
Ginny signed off and slid into bed. She dreamt of a beautiful, magical masquerade ball.
It was nearly ten o'clock on Wednesday morning and Ginny was wandering through the orchestra room. It was totally deserted. No one was there. She was about to give up and go back to the library when she heard a piano being played. She followed the sound to a small room with a grand piano in it. It was a practice room off the side of the director's office.
Ginny peered into the small room and watched the piano player: Draco Malfoy. She knew it was him because his shaggy blonde hair fell in front of his face as he ran his thin fingers over the piano keys. Ginny was so caught up in his playing that she forgot why she was originally there. She gasped thinking, 'Malfoy is so endowed.'
When he finished Ginny took one last glance and took off back to the library.
That night Ginny was logged on but reading the A volume of the encyclopedia. She set down the book and clicked on Draconis's name when he signed in.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Hey there.
draconis13: Hello. What's up?
LadyWisteriaWinter17: I'm reading the A volume of the encyclopedia.
draconis13: ? Quite odd.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: I know.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: Do you know that Draco Malfoy plays piano? He's really good at it.
Draco stared at his screen. So she hadn't discovered that he was draconis13. Good. Let her think he andDraconis were two different people. It would only be better for him at the ball.
draconis13: No kidding? That's cool.
LadyWisteriaWinter17: So…how was your day?
A/N: Hahahahaha! Cliff hanger! You'll have to review to get more, though I already have started on the second chapter. I think I'll skip ahead to Halloween for plot purposes.
