Soon after Ginny had returned, in walked none other than Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson laughing loudly. It was obvious that they wanted everyone in the room to see them. Pansy was acting like a fool, and was basically hanging off of Draco's arm. "Just like Malfoy to show off as soon as he walks into the room," commented Harry, seeing his school enemy strut into the shop.
"Did you say Malfoy?" asked Ginny, "I hate him. He's always trying to prove how much better he is than everybody else. And the way he tries to prove that is by insulting everyone he comes near who aren't Slytherins or Death Eaters."
"I know," agreed Ron, "If he says one word about us being 'blood traitors' or calls Hermione a you-know-what I'll jinx him. Or better yet, you can get him with one of your bat bogey hexes Ginny."
"It will be my pleasure," snarled Ginny, reaching for her wand. "Do you think I can hit him from here?" Ron, looking excited, drew his wand also. "I think you might be able to, if you try hard enough."
"Ron! Ginny!" gasped a shocked Hermione, "You know you're not allowed to do magic outside of school!" At this Ron and Ginny scowled. "Why'd you have to go and ruin our fun Hermione?" sulked Ron. "Ruin your fun!?! Ron, I was trying to keep you from getting expelled!" exclaimed an insulted Hermione.
Recognizing Hermione's voice, Draco stopped laughing, and sauntered over to their table. He sneered at them, "What's the matter, Granger, did your blood traitor boyfriend say something wrong?"
"Go away, Malfoy," snarled Ron, insulted. "Yeah, Malfoy, get lost," yelled Ginny, aiming her wand at Draco's face. "Ron! Ginny! Don't!" gasped Hermione for the second time that day, "You'll be expelled!"
"That's right, defend your boyfriend, mudblood!" laughed Malfoy. Then he turned back towards Pansy, "Let's go, I wouldn't have even come into this shop if I had known what kind of filth would be in here." Pansy glared at the four friends before turning to Malfoy. "But Draco, I don't care about THEM being here as much as I care about people seeing US here. Can't we stay for a few minutes?" Pansy whined.
"Don't worry Malfoy," said Harry, standing up and heading towards the door, "we were just leaving." Ginny, Ron and Hermione stood up and followed Harry out the door while Malfoy just stood there with Pansy on his arm, speechless. But then Pansy giggled happily, "Look at the little cherubs, Draco, I just love this shop!" At that, Malfoy smiled weakly and followed Pansy to a table where, while she talked to him happily, he daydreamed of new ways to insult the Gryffindors when he got back to school.
