The Love Game ; Draco Malfoy

Level 4

After the confrontation in the courtyard the hogwarts rumor mill was insatiable.

Did you hear Ross kicked Corner's ass for no reason?

I heard he turned her down and she freaked out.

I heard the opposite

Shes a slut

What a Prude

These were just a few of the things I heard whispered about me through the corridors.

Plus whatever charm or potion Malfoy was on that caused him to be nice and try to stick up for me faded and he was back to being an ass again.

"If only I had an invisibility cloak" I mumbled at breakfast the next morning as people were staring and whispering at me.

"You know someone said you were begging Corner to take you and when he said no so you kicked his ass" Malfoy snickered across from me.

"Thanks for the rumor update" I spat glaring at him.

"It's not that bad" Pansy said quietly

"Half the school calling me prude and the other half calling me slut isn't bad?" Pansy winced at my words and shrugged.

"At least there is discrepancy?" She added.

"There's also a rumor that you and Draco ran off and did it in a broom closet afterwards" Blaise added from across the table.

"You're kidding?" He shook his head and I turned to look at a smirking Draco. "You're a pig"

"What I didn't start it" he laughed keeping the smirk on his face. I let out a groan.

"Blaise do you want to walk to Divination with me" I looked at him and his wary face. "I'd ask Pansy but she doesn't take that class."

"It's a joke" she scoffed shoving eggs into her mouth.

"Are you worried a rumor will be started?" I asked with raised eyebrows. Blaise shrugged and looked at his empty plate. "As if a rumor about a man having sex ever ruined his reputation, if anything you'll be praised."

"I take divination too" Draco butted in.

"Yeah and I want to be seen leaving the great hall with two guys, think about it" I glared at him and his smirk grew. "No, plus you haven't even finished eating" I turned back to Blaise. "Please" he rolled his eyes and got up.

"Let's go Ross, I know a good broom closet on the way" he chuckled.

"Don't start" I pointed my finger at him as I stood, grabbed my bad and headed towards the door with him. Eyes burning into the back of our skulls as if we haven't been friends for years. "I can't believe how quickly this place ruined my reputation"

"I can. These kids are cruel" Blaise smiled.

"Yeah well I seemed to fly under the radar for years..." I mumbled looking at my feet as we walked.

"That's cause you never showed interest in dating. Or I guess we learned people thought you were with me.... kind of makes sense." He shrugged.

"No it doesn't" I scoffed.

"Think about it Des.. I mean we do hang out all the time."

"Am I not allowed to have a friend that's a guy?" I asked crossing my arms.

"You're really touchy"

"I am not" I argued.

"You link your arm in mine and fix my hair and-"
