A/N- That's right! Two chapters in GASP one day! And I'm so glad that you guys like Colin. In fact, thanks to some advice from Zaly, all the chapters will be from his point of view. Good? Bad? Whatcha think?
Disclaimer: I only own Colin and the rest of Snape's family.
Draco's POV
I knew as soon as I saw him enter that he would be sorted into Gryffindor. He's not Slytherin at all. He's very loud. He seems to lack common sense (which if you ask me is poorly named seeing as almost NO ONE has it. What's so common about that?) He acts before he thinks and then wonders why things don't work out…
Very Gryffindor.
Colin's POV
I'm mad. I got up so early. No one but me was awake. And Ron snores like a gorilla. Do Gorillas snore? Huh… Well, point is that I couldn't get back to sleep. So I just decided to get ready, and then head to the Very Great Hall. I'm sorry, am I boring you? TOO BAD. You wouldn't be all giddy either; Waking up at 6:50 (1) to gorilla snores! It's not fun!
Today's breakfast looks good. I wonder who makes the food around here. I need to give them a high five, this stuff is great.
There aren't as many people in here right now. Probably because it's still insanely early and normal people are asleep.
Oh hey, there's Hermione. I should go sit with her.
"Hello Hermione. How are you up this early?" I ask.
"Oh, I'm always up this early. It gives me time to read before breakfast."
"I see." She's crazy. Totally, completely, absolutely, incredibly, undoubtedly crazy.
As you can see, I'm not a morning person. I'm more of a late night-er if you catch my drift.
"So, why are you up this early, Colin? You don't seem to be a morning person." Smarty pants, huh?
"I'm not. I was woken up by snoring. I hate snoring. First of all the word just sounds gross. And then when you actually hear an actual snore, it's worse than the word! Disgusting! I mean, don't wizards know a way to stop or prevent snoring? They should. It's ridiculous! We can make things fucking FLY, but we can't stop snoring? What is the wizarding world coming to? And- hey, stop laughing! This isn't funny! Shut up, I'm trying to rant!" Bitch! How dare she laugh at my misfortune!
"I'm sorry, but have you tried a silencing charm?" Oh…
"Oh… That makes so much sense! I could marry you right now!"
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Oho! I'd know that voice anywhere!
"Draco!" And I leap up and give him a friendly, but very manly hug. And a sloppy kiss on the cheek for good measure.
"Get off of me!" He screams. But I know he only half means it. Maybe.
"I haven't seen you in ages! I thought you died! No letters, no nothing! Why have you been avoiding me?"
"I've sent you a letter a week since you left, you git. Stop being over-dramatic. You're like a girl." He snorts.
"…Am I a pretty girl?" I wiggle my eyebrows. I'm so good at that by now, it's crazy.
"No. You're worse than Granger, over there."
"Huh? Oh, Hermione! Hermione's not ugly. Quite the contrary." And I wiggle my eyebrows some more.
"Colin, that's vile."
"Colin, that's vile." I mimic, making my voice incredibly high-pitched and annoying.
"Grow up." He sticks his nose in the air. Haha, I see a nose hair.
"After you, princess."
Alright, I know what you're thinking. "What? But Colin doesn't know Malfoy! This is ridiculous!" So let's sit down and talk this out, shall we?
Snape is my Daddy. He is best friends with Draco's Dad, Lucius Malfoy. They know everything about each other. So Draco's Dad obviously knew about Mom, Justin, and Me. We visit them every summer, actually. So Draco and I have been friends since we could string a proper sentence together. See? Now you've got it!
"Sorry to interrupt, but you two… Know each other?"
"Since birth!" I say.
"And you're good friends?"
"Of course!" I grin wildly while Draco just sneers. Dork.
"Drakey-poo, if you keep doing that, one day your face will get stuck like that." I pinch his cheek like the good Mommy I am.
"My God, you sound like my Mother." But he stops sneering. I win.
"That's the point. Now what do you have against Hermione? You know, she's named after a character from a Shakespeare play!"
"I don't care where it got her name. She's a mudbl-"
"Oh don't tell me you're still all 'Purebloods for the win! Yay!', Draco? That's so dumb."
I really hate that about Draco. It's a touchy subject, really. I get that's what he's been taught, but that doesn't give him an excuse to be an ass.
"That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard." Ass. Haha.
" No, this is! Blahgehjumahiklomiguha!" So eloquent! I must say I'm impressed with myself.
"I'm leaving." He starts walking away.
"Bye bye! See you in class! Kisses! MWUAH!" I'm so mature, aren't I? Daddy would be proud.
"That whole exchange was just.. Incredibly strange." And true to her word, she looks a little freaked out.
"Better get used to it because I get a whole world stranger than that." At least I'm honest.
"Hey, hey Snape!" Enter Harry and Ron.
"Call me Colin. And what's up?"
"We just saw Malfoy here with you. Are you guys alright?" Do people always call each other by their last names here?
"Yeah, we're good. We were just talking. No worries." Wow. I've never actually seen two jaws drop simultaneously. Kinda funny.
"Malfoy just came by.. To chat?" Ron asked.
"Yeah. Why? Do you guys have some sort of beef with Draco?"
"Well, he's kind of bullied us since our first year here." Harry says. Huh, that's news to me. The only talk about School I ever had with Draco was after 3rd year.
"Hey, Draco?"
"Yeah?" Draco looked up from his book.
"How's school here for you? I know my Dad teaches there, but I want a student's perspective, you know?"
"Well, it's just school. We learn, we eat, we study, we sleep; And then it repeats.."
"Do you have lots of friends? Or am I your only one?" I grin, but he tenses.
"Some people get along, some people don't."
"Yeah, but-"
"Drop it."
And I dropped it. I guess these are the people he doesn't get along with. That sucks.
"That sucks. He's a pretty cool guy once you get past the racism thing.."
"How would you know that? You only just met him!" Ron sounds annoyed. Haha, time to drop the bomb on him.
"Actually, We-"
"Ron, He's known Malfoy for years." Hermione says. Aw, I wanted to do it.
"Yeah. Crazy isn't it?" I say.
"Yeah, crazy how you could get along with that git." Ron says.
I just laugh it off, trying to ease some of the tension. I don't think I've really gotten off on the right foot with these two. First I'm the son of a jerk. Now I'm best friends with a bully.
Professor McGonagall rushes over to me saying something about my new schedule. I pretend to listen and nod in all the right places. She says class starts in 15 minutes and not to be late.
I suck in a deep breath and hold it in. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. I let it out.
Here we go.
A/N- Yay! Another chapter done! I know it's a little slow going, but stay with me people, we'll get there! How do you like the friendship between Draco and Colin? I like it. (: Thanks for reading!
(1)- It's not really that early, but Colin is a lazy bum!
