Chapter 2

Zoey sat on her bed in her dormitory. "That Umbridge woman," Zoey said lazily," She can really put you to sleep with a good speech."

"You didn't listen to any of it?" Hermione asked, surprised.

"No," Zoey replied. She stood up and walked over to her phoenix, Jade, and stroked her warm feathers. Dumbledore had given Jade to Zoey in her first year. "I fell asleep in the first minute."

Hermione huffed, "Well she basically said the Ministry is interfering at Hogwarts. Honestly, you're just like Ron and Harry."

Zoey shrugged, but then stiffened. "If they interfere, I'll kick their butts."

"No you won't; you'll be in huge trouble."

"Maybe, but they're still dumb-heads," Zoey mumbled.

Hermione sighed. "Maybe I'll play some tricks on that Umbridge woman," Zoey murmured, staring off into space.

"What do you think of that new fifth year?" Hermione asked, hastily changing the subject.

"Don't know yet, "Zoey said as she lay down in her bed. "'Night Hermione."

"Good-night," Hermione yawned, putting out the candles. The only light left in the dorm was the soft glow of Jade, and snores soon filled the room.

Valencia was trying to enjoy her new book, but then someone tapped her shoulder. Valencia looked over her shoulder and it was that blond jerk again. Perfect.

"What do you want?" She asked coldly.

He smiled sickly and said, "Why, I never got to introduce myself. I'm Draco Malfoy."

Valencia snorted and said, "Draco? What kind of a name is that? When you were born did your mother look at you and scream, 'He's so ugly! Like a dragon! I guess I'll call him Draco."

Draco glared at her and said, "Oh yeah? Well what kind of a name is Valencia? F-French or something?"

"Actually, it's not," Valencia said sweetly. She pulled out her wand and waved it at Draco. A whole pile of wet noodles rained down on top of his pretty little head. Draco stood there in shock.

"How dare you!" he exclaimed. "I'll get my father to sue you or something."

Valencia snorted again. "Oh, please," she sneered, "like that scares me. What power do you have even?"

"I'm rich," Draco blurted. "Unlike you probably are."

"So you're just one of those rich pompous jerks?"

"Yes." Draco said. "I mean no, wait, just rich."

Valencia laughed and turned to walk away. Then Draco took a handful of noodles and threw them at her. They smacked her right in the back of the head. She froze and turned around slowly.

"You little-"

"What are you going to do now?" Draco sneered.

Valencia glared at him and said nothing.

"What? Can't you think of something to say?"

Valencia walked right up to Draco until they were almost nose to nose and slapped him across the face. Hard.

"OWW!" He cried.

Valencia smirked and stormed off to her dorm where she had a good night's sleep.
