Why You?

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow. "Place your bets, Professor McGonagall, and Hagrid."

Hagrid chuckled. "I neva thou' we'd come teh this, but harry."

McGonagall shook her head. "We're professors, not children! This is their love life, not ours."

Dumbledore stared at her. "... Well, I think Draco. He's more emotional than my grandma!" He grinned.

McGonagall let out a breath. "What children you both are."

Draco listened to the basically mumbles of Pansy. Because when she talked, it usually went through one end and out the other.

He glanced at her and noticed she was waiting for him to say something. "What?"

Pansy rolled her eyes. "Nevermind Draco. Go back to daydreaming." She smiled and turned away from him.

Draco was too tired to smile back. He looked down at his plate and started playing with the food on his plate.

He usually didn't eat breakfast. He didn't like the food choices, and he didn't like breakfast in general.

Pansy was about to ask Draco something else, when the the mail came.

Owls of different colors swooped around trying to find their owner. Draco watched as Potter got mail. For once.

His usual Tuesday mail plopped down in front of him. A letter from mother, and a newspaper.

Pansy watched as Draco opened the letter from Narcissa.

Draco stopped reading after that. There was no need to continue reading.

Pansy sighed, and looked at him. "You aren't going to reply back, are you?"

Draco narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "Why would I? Christmas break will be here sooner than we think. I'll have to deal with them, then."

Before Pansy could say another word, Draco got up. "That stupid letter put me in a bad mood. I'll see you later Pansy." Draco put his hands in his pockets and walked off.

Draco was in fact, extra snarky today. "Bloody hell, what's his problem? I feel like he's going to put a curse on me!" Ron looked at Malfoy, and Harry shrugged.

To Harry and Ron, Malfoy snapped at them with every chance he could get. Sometimes he would even get mouthy with Hermione.

"Mr. Malfoy, if you're going to be causing problems in my potions class, I'll take away house points." Snape snarled, and narrowed his eyes at his usually good, student.

Malfoy stared right on back. It was rare for Snape to deduct points from Slytherin, because that was his house afterall.

"Minus 2 points from Slytherin." Snape didn't even let Malfoy say anything.

"Finally..." Ron snickered, Ron always forgets that Snape hears everything.

"... And minus 5 points from Gryffindor. Get back to work boys, now. "

Hermione glanced at them and shook her head. Absolute idiots.
