Summary: When Inter-house unity is a stepping stone for all the fangirls.
A/N: This was inspired by a picture of Draco Malfoy leaning on a stone wall during Care of Magical Creatures. You could find the picture at my place.All that I wrote about is not mine, all of them are Ms.Rowlings.
Chapter One
It was actually Professor McGonnagal's idea. Part of that inter-house unity project that Dumbledore suggested at the starting of the year. It started with a big picnic, which ended in disaster as a herd of Browtruckles decided to rampage the picnic site. Some of the students still flinch at the sight of a twig, while Pansy Parkinson actually trembles at the sight of cream puffs.
The second part was a trip to the mountains, only for the fourth years and above almost became a success, until on the way down, when the Slytherin charmed all the other houses maps wrong. The Ravenclaws made it down safely as they knows a charm when they see one, the Griffindors, thankful for Hermione, with her photographic memory, noticed and righted the charm after only being lost for less than half an hour. The Hufflepuffs, however, was found on the other side of the mountain, most of them barely walking, with Cedric Diggory shouting encouragement that they will be saved shortly, five hours later. It was obvious that the Slytherins was at fault, by the way they all laugh out loud when the teacher have rounded all the Hufflepuffs. Fifty points were taken from Slytherin house.
So, when Professor McGonnagal selected three students from each house for the next project, the chosen candidates was not a little terrified. With the threat of disembowelment and failing Transfiguration, twelve students were seen trudging towards the classroom at half past eight, that Monday.
"I see that all of you are here," her eyes narrowed as she heard very audible whimpering, "Oh, for Godric's sake! I will not be murdering any of you. Will you at least listen to what I have to say? We are doing a calendar," she paused as she saw the interest sinking in, and continued, "a picture calendar, or more specifically a poster calendar."
Gasps could be heard around the group. In a second, most of them had their heads together.
The usual hand, push up, waving slightly, trying to get the teacher's attention, which is a natural sight in every class that Hermione Granger takes, shows the impatience when she started to bounce up and down.
"Yes, Miss Granger?" She smiled slightly; this girl would definitely be the first to ask questions.
"Whose poster are we using, professor?" her shrewd glance was shared with many of her colleagues.
"That's Miss Granger, is where you students come in. You will determine who will make it into our inter-house calendar this year. You, of course must have a theme, and that, I leave all to you. I will only be an advisor, and all the decisions are on you student's hands." And with that, she left.
The students, Hermione Granger, Lavender Brown and Seamus Finnigan, from Gryffindor, Hannah Abbot, Justin Finch-Fletchly and a third year, Melinda Bostleworth, are the Hufflepuffs, Pansy Parkinson, Blaise Zabini and a fifth year, Jubilee Abbington was the Slytherins and the Ravenclaws was Padma Patil, Josh Feather and a sixth year, Henrietta Hogget, looked at each other, apparently so shock at being abandoned that they almost forgot to be nasty to each other. Well, the Slytherins at least.

This is my first born. If someone could be nice enough to want to beta for me that will be great. Please tell me if this is worth continuing.
