SURPRISES | Draco Malfoy

19

Today we had defense against the dark arts. We had a new professor. Alastor Moody.

We talked about the unforgivable curses. Me and Pansy sat in the back of the room, I tried not to have eye contact with our professor so he wouldn't throw any questions at me in which I had succeeded.

I tried not the listen to much to anything. All I did actually listen to was him torturing and killing a spider.

Awesome lesson to start the year with. I never got out of a classroom as soon as I got out of that one.

. . .

Draco and I were sitting in the room, judging some people who threw their name into the goblet.

One of them was Cedric Diggory. His friends walking in the room with him and pushing him towards the goblet.

While putting his name in he turned his head and looked me right into my eyes. He gave me a wink and then turned back to his friends.

Apparently Draco noticed because when Cedric was gone he started talking.

"Did I just see that correct or is my vision just really bad?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Fucking Cedric Diggory winking at you. How do you even know him?" He asked.

"I talked to him once in the library, second year, there was barely anyone else and he helped me with an essay." I told him. He gave me a look, I couldn't quite figure out what kind of look it was but I'm sure it wasn't a positive one.

"And why is he winking at you now?" He then asked.

"Honestly, I don't know. If I did know, I would tell you. But I don't."

He scoffed.

"Jealous much?" I asked.

"Shut up." He answered and I laughed.

Then the Weasley twins ran into the room, giving people high fives.

"They aren't 17 yet, are they?" I asked.

"Nope." Draco answered.

"Thank you thank you, well lads we've done it." George started. "Cooked it up just this morning." Fred said.

"It's not going to work." Hermione said, which caused Draco to roll his eyes.

"Oh yeah? And why's that Granger?"

"You see this? This is an age line. Dumbledore drew it himself."

"So?"

"So a genius like Dumbledore couldn't possibly be fooled by something pathetically dimwitted such as an age potion."

"That's why it's so brilliant."
"Because it's so pathetically dimwitted."

"Ready Fred?"
"Ready George?"

"Bottoms up." I slapped my hand on my head which caused them to look at me. George chuckled.

They jump inside the age line, and cheer. They put their names in the flame and do a high-five. But then the flame fires up and they're flung across the room onto the floor. When they get up they have full heads of grey hair and beards.

"You said.."
"You said!"

Draco started laughing.

They roll around fighting on the floor and the crowd cheer. The room suddenly becomes silent as Viktor Krum walks in and puts his name in the flame.

"Of course he was going to put his name in." I said.

"Yeah, well it's Viktor Krum we're talking about huh." Draco replied.

"You got a point there."
