(After the part about the ghosts in Ch.: 8)
Draco, however seemed to be well liked among the non-living. Peeves and he established something close to friendship in the first few days, when Draco proved to be almost as mischievous as the poltergeist. Harry and Ron came upon them talking on the second day there.
Peeves came shooting down the corridor, passing a certain blond boy attempting to sneak unnoticed past Filch's office. Peeves came to a stop halfway down, realizing what he'd passed. He followed Draco until they were past, and then said "Malfoy! Sneaking around the castle? How unlike you!"
Draco replied "Quiet Peeves! If I'm going to do this I can't get caught!" he then wheeled around and said, "It has become my personal a-ambition to make that rat-faced Argus Filch have an ulcer, so I have a little plan. If you want to help me, t-then fine, if not go away!"
Peeves looked taken aback by his sudden rudeness and lack of stutter. Then he grinned wickedly.
"What a coincidence! I have a plan too. Let's share shall we?"
Draco smiled wolfishly. "Yes, let's. But not here. Follow me!"
They set off, presumably to give Filch an ulcer. Ron stared at Harry. Harry stared back.
"That clever little….he was faking!"
"He's more Slytherin than I thought!"
Please review. I'll explain the lack of stutter later, but without reviews my muse refuses to work. Well, chocolate helps too. But mostly reviews.
