It had been a week or so since the start of term and Draco has already gotten sent to the hospital wing. He had insulted a hippogriff or something.
"His arm was cut open! I'm going to go check on him!" Pansy Parkinson was in tears, and ran out of the common room to the hospital wing.
Daphne wiped her friends eyes before she could leave. "Don't leave like that. Dry your tears."
Pansy nodded and dried her cheeks. She hurried out of the dungeons.
Merudla rolled her eyes. "They fuss over him as if he's their son."
"Exactly! I don't see what the big deal about him is. He's just a boy." I said, glad someone shared my views.
"One day, you're going to do the same thing." Daphne glowered.
"I don't think I ever will." I retorted. Me and Merudla hurried to our dorm before Daphne could answer. We flopped on my bed.
"Do you actually think Draco is annoying? Cause I know your families know each other." Merudla asked, propping herself up with an elbow on the bed.
"Not annoying, but he certainly thinks he's the best and everyone needs to hear his voice all the time." I replied. She nodded slowly. "What do you think will happen to the hippogriff?" I said, changing the topic.
"Knowing Draco, he'll convince his dad to make the governors execute the poor beast. Hippogriffs are pretty fascinating animals. Draco should have known to not insult it. He was probably too caught up in his ego." Merudla waved her wand, leaving a trail of green sparks.
"I don't see what all the Slytherin girls see in him. He's a butt." I giggled.
Merudla made a fake shocked face. "Oh no! You take that back! Draco Malfoy is the most perfect, precious, and beautiful person in the world!" She said in a high pitched voice, imitating Daphne and Pansy. We giggled and laughed until it was time to go to the Great Hall for dinner. As we whispered through the corridors, we saw Daphne, Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle, and a ton more Slytherins crowded around Draco, who's arm was in a sling.
His eyes trailed me and Merudla for a while as we passed, but only I noticed. I glared at him and he returned to telling his story. "I was just bowing down to the stupid beast, and he up and sliced open my arm!" He cried. Harry Potter was passing by with his friends, and he glared at Draco with a hate I hadn't ever seen from a person before.
We sat at the Slytherin table and gulped down our supper. As we entered our common room, Draco came in my direction, but I hurried to our room with Merudla. The first rays of the daytime started lighting up the sky by the time I finally fell asleep.
