PART 1 OF THE WELCOME BACK DANCE
BREAKFAST - SATURDAY 6TH SEPTEMBER - HOGWARTS CASTLE
Draco repeatedly banged his head on the table as he felt the stares on him. The post had just come in and of course, on the front page of the Witch Weekly was him dropping one Hermione Granger on the floor of Balderic's Wizardry Boutique. He groaned louder as Pansy grabbed a copy off a second year.
"Malfoy Heir drops War Heroine!" She read.
"Now we owe Dean 10 galleons!" complained Blaise.
"How did he guess the headline!" mumbled Theo grumpily.
"I bet 'former death eater drops war heroine' now THAT would've been a headline,"
Pansy slapped them both on the head.
"Shush!" she glanced at who wrote the article, "Oh Merlin, Draco, you might what to read this for yourself. Rita Skeeter wrote it,"
Draco's head shot up from the table and he grabbed the newspaper, "Shit! Shit! Shit!" He read over the article.
"That's right, witches. Hermione Granger has struck again in stealing one of the Wizarding World's wealthiest bachelors, Draco Malfoy Hogsmeade got a first look at the musical curse that has swept through Hogwarts. The vocal moment broke out in Balderic's Wizardry Boutique and not only was Malfoy and Granger dancing but a mix of well-known Gryffindors and Slytherins were seen together, dancing such as the famous Harry Potter and his girlfriend Ginny Weasley. Sources say that the two groups, known for their rivalry were spotted mingling and laughing together. Surprisingly Pansy Parkinson, who if I recall correctly referred to Granger as 'really ugly' two years ago, was seen grinning and chatting with Granger. Is there a reason for this sudden change in behaviour? Are the Slytherin's trying to gain their reputations back after they were tarnished by their fathers? Has Draco Malfoy become another victim of Hermione Granger's love potions? Are Draco and Harry together? Don't worry Witch Weekly readers, I will be keeping a close eye on this unlikely group of 'friends'
Draco crumpled up the paper, ignoring the whispers that fluttered around the school. His attention was bought to the Gryffindor table as he heard the sound of a pair of hands slamming down onto the tables.
Far across the room, Hermione was sick of the whispers that were surrounding her.
"Didn't she do the same with Harry?"
"No wonder Krum paid attention to her?"
"I hate Pansy, but she would never be friends with her,"
Hermione stormed out of the Great Hall, ignoring Ginny's calls for her. She stomped to an empty classroom, fuming about being a victim of another one of Skeeter's articles.
"Rita Skeeter," tutted Bellatrix as she materialised in front of Hermione," She hasn't changed a bit,"
"Where have you been? I started to think I just imagined you," Hermione said.
"Here and there. I see Rita is still begging for that recognition she craved during our Hogwarts days," she tittered. Hermione gasped.
"You knew her?" Bellatrix laughed
"Sweetie, we were roommates. 'Friends' you could say. Though really she just followed me around like she had a crush on me,"
Hermione gaped, "You can help me then! I already know she's an unregistered Animagus but I doubt that would work this time," she glanced at Bellatrix, "I blackm-"
"You blackmailed her to stop wring for a full year, yes. Mudblood, remember I'm in your head,"
Hermione flinched as Bellatrix said that word. She had thought they were past that.
