Well, crap. First class of the day and I'm late already. I rushed down the empty corridors on the way to Charms class, while sloppily tying my Slytherin tie and fixing my messy blonde hair. I hadn't meant to wake up so late- my friend Lorcan Parkinson was supposed to wake me up, but I guess it had slipped his mind. Prat. He probably just thought it was funny to leave me lying there, asleep, while he ran off to Charms, chatting with whatever "lucky" girl he found on the way.
Finally reaching the Charms classroom, I threw open the door and glared at Lorcan. He grinned sheepishly at me and shrugged. Whatever, I'll get him back later. I'm known for being one of the best prankers at Hogwarts- aside from Fred Weasley II… but that could change once I got my hands on Lorcan. He may be my best mate, but we snakes are known for our awesome planning when it came to revenge.
I strolled up to Professor Flitwick. Man, was that guy ancient! He was still a teacher while my mum was at school. "Sorry I was late professor, my friend Lorcan here," -I glanced pointedly at him- "decided to let me sleep in a bit today. It won't happen again. I'll make sure." I grinned wickedly at Lorcan, and then looked innocently back at Flitwick.
"I won't count you late this time, Mr. Malfoy, but please don't be late again," Flitwick answered.
As I began walking back to my usual seat beside Lorcan, I caught Rose rolling her eyes and glaring at me from across the classroom. What was her problem? I hadn't even said anything insulting to her yet! I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stopped in front of her desk, bowed gracefully, and sprouted a rose from the tip of my wand. I laid it on her desk, and announced loudly, "a rose for a very grumpy looking Rose," and sauntered back to my seat, pleased with the laughter following me. It's amazing what you can get away with in Flitwick's class.
"Lovely job, Mr. Malfoy! We haven't even covered that spell in class yet! 10 points to Slytherin!" Flitwick smiled at me from atop his pile of books he sat on at his desk.
"Thank you, Professor Flitwick." I grinned cheekily at him, and then laughed as I caught a glimpse of Rose. She hid her face behind the curtain of her fiery red hair, but I could still tell that her face was burning red; red as a—well, as a rose. Her friends glared at me. I smiled back.
Lorcan laughed beside me. "Good job, dude. You should've seen her face! She was absolutely appalled!"
Well, gee. Nice to know she thinks I'm hideous. But it's not like I care… She's just a stupid little ginger know it all Gryffindor. I hate her. Kind of.
"Thanks, mate, but I'm totally going to get you back later for not waking me up."
"It completely slipped my mind! I got distracted!"
I laughed. "What girl was it?"
He frowned at me. "Sara McLean. I just kind of rushed out of the room and forgot to come back…"
"Yeah yeah, it won't happen again." I winked at him, and then started to work on our assignment, amused by the worried expression on his face.
I couldn't wait until after class when I had to deal with Rose. It was so fun to make her angry; she needed to learn to control that Weasley temper. Plus, it was the only time she ever really talked to me… But then again, I hated her, so what did I care?
