GREAT HALL - 8:10PM
Draco's head shot up.
"There's something wrong with Potter,"
Hermione sideglanced him, "Erm, how do you know that?" she asked worriedly.
Pansy snorted, "He has a Potter sensor, it's built-in him,"
"Oh haha. So funny Pansy," Draco mocked. He then turned to Hermione with a straight face," She's not wrong though. I know Potter's every movement. Every emotion. Every minuscule change, even when his shrewd facial expression shifts. I am the Seeker of Potter," and with that Draco left the Great Hall, leaving Hermione to stare at his retreating form in confusion, shock and plain amusement.
"Embarrassment to the Blacks," screeched a voice in Hermione's head. She ignored it.
"What on earth was that?" she asked Pansy. Pansy shook her head.
"He's been drinking with those oafs," Pansy tilted her head over to their drunk friends who were dancing all over the hall. Hermione stifled a laugh as she watched Dean try to teach the others a dance move, famous in the muggle world.
"Hermione," The girl whipped round to face Susan Bones, who had an unfamiliar sneer on her face.
"Susan..." Hermione said cautiously, exchanging a glance with Pansy, "You look-"
"Cut the bullcrap, I just came to say I don't want to be part of your little Mystery Incorporated anymore,"
"Mystery Incorporated?" whispered Pansy.
"Muggle reference, remember?" Hermione whispered back. She cleared her throat and spoke louder, "Where is this all coming from Susan. I thought you wanted to be part of something,"
Susan narrowed her eyes, "No, I don't! You know what that is so typical of you Gryffindors and Slytherins. You think everyone wants to be you! Actually NO, not even them. It's just you guys. You, and her," she pointed at Pansy who growled at her. A crowd was forming around them, "And Ginny, Harry, Dean, and Seamus. Malfoy, Nott and Zabini. You all LOVE attention. You all get it all the time! We could probably all write books about you, from how much we know about you guys. And now you're just joined together which is just great," she yelled sarcastically, "Now you can all soak up all that attention together,"
Hermione stood gaping at Susan. The crowd looked like they agreed with her but tried to look impartial.
Where are the teachers, when you need them, thought Hermione.
Pansy scoffed and narrowed her eyes and Susan, who stepped back a bit. Pansy then chuckled at her, "You sound bitter, Bones. What you've just said is one of the stupidest speeches I have ever heard. Really and truly, I should be lactating with rage right now. But I'm not. I'm extremely happy. You know why?" She stepped closer to Susan who tried to reach Pansy's height of 5 ft 9 but was definitely failing as she was only 5 ft 4," Because it makes me squeal in joy that me and my friends can receive what you want so bad. Attention. And we don't even have to try whereas you," Pansy placed a finger on Susan's chest, "Can try as hard as you want. But no one will ever, ever pay attention to little Susan Bones," Pansy walked back Hermione and hooked their arms, "Stay in your lane, puff. Remember the hierarchy,"
"Remember the Hierarchy? How can there be a hierarchy, when the status quo is a mess?" Out of the crowd came Lavender Brown going to stand next to Susan, "Gryffindors and Slytherins? That's not how it should be! It should be Hufflepuffs and the Gryffindors, then Ravenclaws and the slippering Snakes," The Slytherins hissed but seemed to agree with her. Pansy opened her mouth, about to end Lavender but then music came from the stage.
