"You know Archer if you weren't a Prefect in my house I would have docked you one hundred points for your incompetence, tardiness, and disheveled robes." Malfoy said in a spoiled manner.
You let out a sigh and coated in sarcasm said, "Right then, so it's YOUR house is it? I hadn't been told. Must've missed that memo," finishing it off by giving him the nicest fake smile you could manage.
You loved pressing this kids buttons it was like not being allowed to have sugar in three months and being given a freshly baked cookie.
"As for my robes I don't know what you mean by 'disheveled'."
He groaned, "Your tie is un-done and the buttons on your blouse don't match their holes. And please don't get clever with me Archer. You know how ugly the consequences can get. Need I remind you of 5th year?"
"No I remember it well. That was one of my better days." You looked down at your shirt and realized he was right. You had been so hurried to get ready earlier that you were rather a mess. You Windsor knotted your tie and re-buttoned your blouse and arranged your hair.
At the very beginning of 5th year you had turned his hair green and put hot steaming coals on his seat when he wasn't looking. You were given a punishment to clean the boys lockers and the room. It was a worthwhile punishment until you were told you also had to clean all the quidditch uniforms and equipment. Malfoy had hexed one of the bludgers to attack you while you were trying to clean it. At the end of your tuff with him you were beat up and smelled funky and Malfoy was getting his bottom burns treated. He had to use a special cushion for 2 days.
"If you weren't such a priss I would have thought you'd been up to an illegal sexual activity aboard this train."
"Ha just because I don't give someone sex a la mode three times a week like the male prostitute you are does not mean I am a priss Malfoy."
Malfoy had a remarkably calm look, "Well I think I'll just go see who wants to buy me for the night then." and started to check into every compartment that had a fit girl in it. You sighed and waited for him to get done chatting up his most recent prey that was pawing for his attention. Malfoy had received at least one and a half dozen invites to dorm rooms later that week.
"That's disgusting." you mumbled as he came out of the compartment of a Ravenclaw girl who immediately blushed and giggled with her friends after he left.
"No Archer that's shear good looks at work. Maybe you should get some?" he grinned.
"Nice burn Malfoy.. Would have worked more on someone like say, your girlfriend, Pansy." You walked past him and opened a compartment door.
"Oh hey Blair!" Sydney said with a smile.
Two other kids sitting across from them now accompanied Sydney and Corrie.
Corrie looked at the two of them. "Guys this is our sister. She's the Slytherin prefect."
"Hey twerps you gotta change into your robes. How you guys doing so far?"
"Okay, it's all good. We just bought some dungbombs from our new friends," Corrie said the last part as if he already knew
exactly what he was going to do with them as he nodded to the two kids across from him.
"Fred and Wally," Sydney and Corrie said in unison
"Hey." Fred and Wally said together "Who's he?" Sydney finished looking past you.
You turned around and leaning against the door frame, hands in pockets, was Malfoy.
"Ugh, that children is was I call a ferret but you can refer to him by his surname Malfoy." you said sarcastically.
"I'd bite your tongue Archer. You're really pushing it. By the way you four," he pushed off the frame a mischievous twinkle in his eyes and took a hand out of his pocket to point at them, "There are no dungbombs allowed on the train or at Hogwarts, so hand over the contraband and you four only get two detentions each."
*Such a party pooper! He's only doing this in spite.*
You let a sarcastic, "Jesus bloody Christ Malfoy." slip out as he took the bag of dungbombs with a large smirk plastered on his face. You could tell this really made his day catching them selling/buying dungbombs and then giving detention to your siblings and their friends.
"Wait, Malfoy? Draco Malfoy?" Sydney asked,
"The one and only," he scoffed
"So you're the one my sister burned the arse hairs off of?!" Corrie said before he and Sydney busted out laughing at finally
meeting the notorious subject of the majority of their older sisters marvelously good pranks.
"We've heard SO many stories about you!" Sydney said still in a fit of laughter, "Its good to put a name to the face,"
Corrie finished off, "or butt as the case may be!"
*Don't laugh Blair, don't laugh!* you screamed in your head through your mental fits of laughter.
You tried to stifle your laugh but a giggle escaped.
By now Malfoy had gone from pale to red. At any minute steam would start coming out of his ears and his feet would melt the floor. You damn near expected people to start an evacuation and the fire sprinklers to turn on right then.
Everyone went silent as Malfoy grabbed you by the arm and jerked you out of the cabin but not before giving them all one weeks detention. He would have taken away house points but he guessed that someone in the group would end up in Slytherin. Malfoy is many things but he is not stupid enough to take away points from his own house.
Malfoy marched down the hall of the train in fierce anger, yelling back, "Finish your duties Archer!"
You saw Becca coming your way.
"I just saw Malfoy storm off. What did you say to make him so mad?"
Rebecca knew that there wasn't much else that could infuriate Draco Malfoy more that one of your quick witted remarks.
"This time it wasn't me." you said laughing a bit. She didn't even consider what you had told her and just gave you a 'yeah right' look.
"No, I'm serious. This time it was Sydney and Corrie who opened their mouths."
"Whoa, they might just be better at getting him mad than you." she said surprised that someone so young could make the famous Draco
Malfoy so mad. "I know right?"
The two of you made your way make to your compartment as quick as possible. Which might not have been the best idea. Just then Becca tripped on a torn patch in the rug and fell on top of some poor unsuspecting by stander.
"Ooooy! Geteroff'fmay." The persons voice was muffled by the floor.
"Thanks for cushioning my fall mate." Becca said as Crabe lifted her back up, because she hadn't fallen on a 'poor by stander' at all. Actually, he was quite rich. Goyle tried to dust Malfoy off and he just shoved the henchmans porky little fingers off his robes.
"You filthy little mudblood! Yo-" Malfoy said obviously very angered that she had fallen on top of him.
You quickly cut him off "What did you say?!" you asked while pulling your wand out of your robe pocket and getting a clear and distinct flashback to last year.
"I'm sorry Archer did I stutter?" Malfoy all to quickly retorted
"I think you'll be wanting to put that wand away Miss. Archer." Goyle said as he twirled his wand about his fingers as if he were a baton girl in a marching band.
"Or what? You'll transfigure me into a badly spelled toad?" you retorted with sarcasm dripping off every word.
You knew the only spells he could do either weren't great harm to you or were forbidden. You had desperately wanted to perform magic this morning and took this as the perfect opportunity.
"Ya know what Malfoy." You said lowering your wand as well as your voice, which had been shaking with anger a moment before, and taking a step toward him. Everyone seemed to be watching you.
"I am so sorry that I put you through so much pain and humiliation. I guess ha, I just don't know my place do I?" you said with a look of guilt on your face.
Rebecca could tell something was fishy about what you said.
"That's - the biggest load of troll bogies I have ever heard Archer. You actually think
I believe you?" Malfoy replied with amusement in his voice.
"Well I was hoping you would. Anywho," You raised your wand to his trousers and mumbled, "Furnunculus,"
"What did you say?" Malfoy asked
"I'm sorry Marlfoy did I stutter?" you mimicked his earlier statement.
"It was lovely chatting with you, but we must be off!" Becca said cheerfully, grabbing your hand and pulling you down the hall and into your cabin.
You belted out with laughter as soon as you got into the room.
"What did you do? I know you did something so don't lie to me Archer."
She actually looked rather scared while talking to you. Like you had done something that could lead to their expulsion.
"Take a chill pill you spazoid. I just gave him boils in his pants. I thought it would be a nice welcome back to school present."
The rest of the way to the station the two of you talked and napped.
Judgemnet day! What do you think? yes, no, maybe so...
