Jade finally got her arms free and peeled Gumi off of her. "Yes, I know", she said panting slightly.
Harry went down the table and sat with Ron, Hermione, Ginny and the others. "Where'd you go, mate?", Ron asked as Harry sat down.
"Oh, I had something I had to do", he answered, looking down the long Gryffindor table to Jade and Gumi, who were now talking.
"Yeah, you had something to do, I'm sure", Ron said, looking where Harry was looking.
"Ronald, leave Harry alone", Hermione said. "And finish your essay, before you fall even more behind than you already are", she snapped. Not wanting Hermione on his back anymore than she already was, he picked up his quill and began to write.

While Harry dug into his food, Hermione kept an unobtrusively close eye on the Falcon Twins. She looked up to Harry. “Feeling attracted to eleven year-olds, now are we?” Harry snorted into his Steak and Kidney pie. “What in the bloody blazes are you talking about?” he asked, with a bit of a sharp tone.
She smirked. “If you aren’t attracted to them, then why are you looking at them while you eat?” He looked down, and then back over at them, now playing a game of Wizard’s Chess, commanding the pieces in between bites.
“Knight, D4,” commanded Kagumi. The Black Knight rushed forward and quickly occupied the spot where Jade’s Queen was resting. After smashing her to the ground, the knight took his lance and stuck it in the ground as his horse reared. Jade glared at her twin sister. “You didn’t need to take her, you know.”
Kagumi smirked back at her. “You shouldn’t have out your most powerful piece in easy reach of a Knight. You know that I always win by using my Knights.”
“Ah, but the battle isn’t won yet!” And then the match began in earnest.
Hermione waved a hand in Harry’s face before he snapped back to reality. “What?’ he asked. She sighed. Shaking her head, she turned around and began snickering into her hands.
Harry stood up, angrily. “You know, you don’t have to laugh behind your hands at me! Just go ahead and do it in the open!”
She stopped and looked at him with wide, insulted eyes. “Harry, I wasn’t exactly laughing at you…It’s just that…It was funny because you don’t even notice that you’re doing it. I didn’t mean to upset you…”
Ron didn’t look up at all, but instead listened with open ears, thinking to himself.
Harry began eating again, except this time he was merely picking at his food…and glancing at the twins every now and again, who were still playing chess and hadn’t reacted at all to the argument between himself and Hermione.

"Castle to H7", Jade said with a semi-evil smirk on her face.
The castle slid down, all the way to the other end of the board and whacked Gumi's king of the board and onto the floor, where it smashed.
"Witch", Gumi said with a glare as Jade got up from the table. "What? You just gonna win and leave?"
"No", Jade replied, taking out a small CD player. "I want to take a tiny walk before classes."
"Oh", Gumi said, knowing that she was going out to listen to music. "You and your goofy musicals."
Jade picked up her bag and left. Harry wanted to know where she was going so he pushed his plate away and got up.
"Hey, Gumi? Where'd Jade go?", Harry asked as Gumi put a notebook and pen on the table.
"Huh? Oh, she, uh, went outside", she replied and then muttered, "weirdo musicals."
Harry exited out the big front doors and scanned the front grounds for Jade. He finally found her sitting at the base of a tree near the lake. As he got closer he could see her tapping her foot and mime singing to what ever was playing on her headphones.
"Jade?", he asked, but got no response. He took a few more steps and was now right next to her. "Jade?"
Finally, he bent down and tapped her on the shoulder, which made her jump a bit. "Harry?", she asked. "What are you doing out here?"
As she turned her head to look at him, one of the headphone pieces fell out of her ear and Harry could now hear what she was listening to.
"So, with a thousand sweet kisses, I'll cover you, with a thousend sweet kisses, I'll cover you."
"You're listening to Rent?", he asked.
"Uh, yeah", she replied. "You know Rent?"
"Yeah, it's one of my favorite musicals", he said, settling down next to her on the ground. "Uh, mind if I listen along?"
"Sure", she said and put the headphone piece that had been dangling out of her ear in his.
"I think they meant it, when they said you cant buy love, now I know you can rent it, a new lease you are my love, on life, all my life", they both sang out loud, to the music now playing in their ears and smiling as they did so, without knowing that Gumi, Ron and Hermione were close by, listening.

Sept. 2, 11:46 am, Hogwarts Grounds
Kagumi glared at Harry and her sister sitting cozily together. Her eyes threatened to brim over, but she bit the inside of her cheek and the pain caused the tears to cease their flow. She felt horrible and like she wanted to hurt her sister. Her eyes began to turn from their Sapphire-rimmed Silver to a more dark, almost black color. Her hair began blowing in a non-existent wind and the long cloak that normally trailed on the ground began fluttering around her knees.
“She knew that I liked him…” she whispered under her breath. “She knew…” Kagumi saw Jade snuggle into Harry’s shoulder and the rage became uncontrollable. A silver athame flew forward and landed directly in between Harry and Jade, who instantly jerked apart. All they saw was Kagumi running off, her long hair shining almost violet in the sunlight.
All Kagumi could do was run, to just run and run and not look back. She knew that if she looked back, the green beast named Envy would easily rear up again and she might not be able to stop from actually hurting anyone. The tears began again and she just let them flow, biting her lips and running, not noticing anyone she passed.
Up the stairs, down the hallways, cloak flying out behind her as she drove her legs on and on. Flying past teachers, students, prefects (One of whom shouted, “Don’t run in the halls!” at her speeding form). Flying through the ghosts, welcoming the icy cold their spectral forms had to offer her overheated form. Kagumi just flew on and upward, not stopping for the moving stairwells; when one began to move while she was on it, she simply leapt over the rail to the next floor, the thought of being foolhardy and reckless echoing her mind, not noticing that she was an inch from death, nor noticing that someone very unlikely was following her every step, albeit at a much slower pace.
Meanwhile, Jade stood with a very anxious-looking Harry and a bewildered group of Gryffindors.

"Where the bloody hell did that come from?", Harry said shocked. "Careful with that."
Jade pulled the athame out of the tree and looked at it closely. "This came from my sister", she said, recognizing the initials 'KF' on the handle.
"Why would your sister, throw a dagger at us?", Harry asked.
"Probably, because, she thought that you liked me "more than a friend", got jealous and used this as a warning to me to stay away", Jade finished and slipped the athame in her bag.
"But why would she think that?", he asked again, confused.
"Maybe that's what she thought when she saw you and me sitting together just now", she replied.
"But, I don't, think of you like that", Harry said, not looking at Jade. "I mean I like you, but not that way."
"Well, that makes two of us", Jade semi-lied. She did like him that way, but now that she knew he didn't, she decided not to make a scene about it.
"Harry!", Hermione was heard saying as she fought her way through the newly gathered crowd with Ron to Harry. "You alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine", he said, backing away from Hermione as she tried to look for cuts in his robes and on his skin.
"Well, I guess this'll teach you to get involved with first years", Ron said.
Jade looked agape at Harry, then quickly ran away, forcing her way through the crowd and up to the castle, ignoring Harry yelling for her to come back.
She sat down at her desk in Transfiguration and did nothing, but seethe.

Sept. 2, Noon, Owlery
Kagumi sat on the edge of a window, trying desperately to calm down. The tears weren’t stopping this time, even though she was biting her cheeks until she tasted her own blood. A voice came from behind her, and sent shivers down her spine.
“What a walking little contradiction you are…” Malfoy’s voice called to her. She stiffened, not wanting to turn around to face the snake of a man she knew was approaching.
“Why can’t you just leave me be right now? I haven’t done anything too horrendous to you.” Kagumi refused to turn, to give him the satisfaction of knowing that he was frightening her. In her fear, her eyes bloomed back to her normal colors.
Damn, I was so stupid to come up here…especially alone. There aren’t many teachers in this tower and except for the windows, he’s pretty much got me pinned in…I… am...in....SOOOO…much trouble, she thought to herself.
Putting on a mask of icy indifference, she tried not to cringe each time he took a slow step towards her. When she estimated he was about to grab her, she dove off the ledge onto the ground and rolled away from his outstretched arms.
Whipping out her wand, she put it to his throat from behind. Her eyes began slowly turning black again. “You’ll have to be faster than that, Malfoy. Don’t you know that Ferrets and Snakes are a Falcon’s prey?”
He laughed and spun around, quickly catching her arms above her head and shoving her against the wall, making a few school owls screech in irritation. He leaned over her, seeing as she was only 5’4”. He whispered in her ear, sending strange shivers down her spine. “Oh, aren’t you are a feisty one? …But some snakes are poisonous…you would do well to remember that.”
Kagumi twisted her wrists a bit, to try and loosen them from his grip. In response, he merely pressed her harder against the wall, which raised her almost an inch off the floor. She looked down in horror when she felt that he might try something inappropriate. He kissed her roughly, manhandling her lips, even as the Owlery door swung open. Professor Snape himself was standing there, holding a letter to be sent. He cleared his throat. Draco looked up and Kagumi used the distraction to her advantage by bringing both her knees up as hard as she could. Her blow had winded him.
As he doubled over in pain, she made a mad dash for the exit, trying desperately to put as much distance between her and Malfoy as she could.
Sept. 2, 12:30 pm, Transfiguration
Kagumi burst into the classroom, pale and shaking from exhaustion and fright. She swooned onto the door frame, even as Jade jumped up from her seat and Professor McGonagall angrily strode over. Only when she was safely clutched in her twin’s arms did she realize that she was covered with owl droppings and hay…and missing her wand.

Sept. 2, 12:30am, Empty Classroom
"Honey, calm down, you're ok", Jade said.
"What are you doing, coming to my class late?", Professor McGonagall asked sternly.
"Well, why don't I take her out into the hall and find out?", Jade said and steered her sister out of the Transfiguration classroom and into an empty classroom that wasn't being used this hour. "Now, what the heck happened?"
Gumi was shaking and panting from all of her running. "Malfoy. He- he- he tried- tr-", is all Gumi managed to get out before Jade cut her off.
"What? What happened? What did he do?", she asked urgently, slightly shaking her sister who as now sitting at the table nearest to the door.
"I think he was gonna- gonna- gonna try and- and- do me", Gumi responded.
"'Do you?'", Jade asked. "You don't mean the way I think you mean, do you?"
Gumi, with tears still streaming down her face, nodded. This gesture made Jade, who was crouching next to Gumi, do an involuntary somersault.
"What?!", Jade shouted as she scrambled up to her feet. "He tried to do THAT?! Ohh, where is he? I don't care if he is bigger, older and most likely a better fighter, but I'm still gonna get him. Where is he?"
"Don't do it, Jade", Gumi said, looking at her sister. "You might end up in the hospital wing or something."
"I, don't, care", Jade said through gritted teeth. "He's goin' down. Now, where is he?"
Gumi knew that she couldn't stop Jade from doing whatever she was going to do, so she told her that he was last in the Owlery.
Jade turned on her heel and shot out of the room, down the hall for the Owlery. She was one floor away when, out of nowhere, someone grabbed the front of her robes and pulled her into another unused classroom. It was Harry.
"Jade, don't get into it with Malfoy", he said, closing the door behind him.
"What? What are you talking- you're the last person I wanna- wait. How do you know about that?", Jade asked, wrenching out of his arms.
"Because, Snape, for once in his life, did something right", he said.
"Which is what?", she asked, rubbing her upper arms slightly.
"He suspended Malfoy", he replied. "For the rest of the month. So he has to go home."
"He got suspended?", she asked, her face getting brighter. "Great, but now I have to wait until he comes back for me to beat the crap out of him."
"Ok, that wouldn't be good", Harry said with a small chuckle. "But, how about we make a deal?"
"I'm listening", Jade said.
"You let me deal with Malfoy and I will prove to your sister that I haven't chosen one of you above the other", he said.
Jade stood on front of him, with a look on her face that said she was really thinking about what he had said.
"Alright", she said. "You have a deal."
"Thank you", he said and took Gumi's wand out of his pocket and handed it to her. "I believe this is hers."
"Thanks", she said.
Sept. 2, 12:40am, Transfiguration Class
With a smile, Harry left the classroom and went back to his class, while Jade went back to Transfiguration, where Gumi was sitting at the same table Jade was.
"That was quick", Gumi said quietly to Jade as she sat down in her seat.
"I didn't do anything", Jade replied. "But I know it will be taken care of though." After that she took Gumi's wand out of her pocket and set it on the table. "A friend wanted you to have this back", she said with a smirk on her face.
"Who?", Gumi asked, but Jade didn't answer. She just sat in her seat, with the same look on her face, which Gumi knew as a look of 'I know something, but am not telling'.

Sept. 2, 12:45 pm, Transfiguration Class
Kagumi looked at her twin and took her wand of the table and placed it in her cloak pocket. “Tell me who this ‘friend’ is…and how you know that he’ll be taken care of. I have a right to know!”
Jade simply smiled mysteriously, and continued to take notes as McGonagall spoke, walking around the class. Even though Jade didn't know him very well, she trusted Harry enough to know he would take care of Malfoy when he got back from his suspension.
Sept. 2, 1:30 pm, Malfoy Manor Sitting Room
“You did WHAT?!” Lucius Malfoy roared at his son while his wife, Narcissa wept in the background. He had been beating him with his cane for getting suspended. “How DARE you, you insolent little whelp!” Lucius hit Draco with the walking cane twice more before storming off and flinging a house-elf out of his way.
Draco slowly picked himself up off the floor and spat blood into his hands, then glared in his father’s direction. He limped over to the stairs and slowly made his way up them to his room.
Locking the door behind him, he sat gingerly on his bed and touched his lips. He thought about how her lips had been soft and honeyed against his own and his body betrayed him again. It had been almost a year since he had felt arousal for anyone at Hogwarts. He didn’t know how he could have lost control, but even he knew that he had hurt her. He laid back and looked into the mirror above his bed, disgusted with himself for even thinking about the Falcon girl.
He shook his head. “For Gods sakes, Draco…she’s eleven!”
Ah, but she’s a ripe eleven, isn’t she? His mind argued.
“She’s not even a woman!”
But with the right potion, and the right spells, she could be.
His lips curled into a grin…He caught the reflection of his smirk and let his mind wander. Yes, it will mean some time in Father’s library…but it could work. Now, I suppose I will just bide my time. He drifted away into a light sleep, the smirk still on his face. “She will be mine…her and her sister both,” he whispered in his dreams.

Sept. 2, 1:35pm, History Of Magic Class
"And, as said in Chapter 12, spells had started becoming common in the early 5th century", Professor Binn droned on while students took notes or fell asleep. Jade was taking notes at one of the back tables along with Gumi.
"Do you think it's possible for a witch to walk through a wall without the use of a spell?", Jade asked leaning over and whispering in Gumi's ear.
Gumi just smirked. She had been half drifting in and out of sleep. During one un-conscience moment, she fell into a dream where Malfoy had her tied on a table and was doing indescribable things to her. Just as his lips slammed into hers she awoke with a jolt, startling Jade.
"What? What is it? What's wrong?", Jade whispered urgently to Gumi who as now silently crying. Gumi said nothing.
Jade knew Gumi wasn't right, even though she wasn't normally, but this time she just wasn't herself.
"Excuse me, Professor Binns", Jade said, standing up in the back of the class. "Um, my sister isn't feeling well, can I take her to see Madame Pomphrey?"
"Oh, yes, of course", Binns said in his usual drone.
Jade packed up Gumi's and her things and took the crying Gumi up to the Hospital Wing, even though when they got there, Madame Pomphrey wasn't there.
"Ok", Jade said, putting her bag next to her and kneeling in front of Gumi, who was sitting on one of the hospital beds. "I am going to leave you here, because I have to go back to class. When Madame Pomphrey gets back, tell her, not in detail, what you are doing here and she will probably give you something, ok?"
Gumi shook her head weakly. Jade kissed her forehead, gave her a hug and left the hospital wing to go back to History Of Magic.

Sept. 2, 1:40 pm, Hospital Wing
Kagumi was sitting on the second bed nearest the wall when Madame Pomfrey came in, mumbling about “First Years who can’t handle a Broom!” The Nurse, however, stopped short when she saw Kagumi sitting there, still looking pale.
“My dear, can I help you?” Madame Pomfrey came over and began checking Kagumi over. Kagumi shrank back a little. “I’m fine…I just need a little bit of rest. And maybe some dreamless sleep potion.”
The nurse drew back and looked shrewdly at her. “You gonna tell me what happened and why you’re asking for those thing? I mean I do, after all, have to put you down in the log book.” Kagumi looked down with a lonely tear.
“I just…am emotionally exhausted. I…was…manhandled a bit by a boy and…fell asleep in class and had some nightmares. And I just need to rest…Please?” She looked up and Madame Pomfrey noticed that she had the beginnings of dark circles under her eyes.
Feeling a bit choked up herself, the Nurse went to the cabinet and got a small bottle of dark purple potion, which swirled when Kagumi poured it into a goblet. Looking at the liquid, Kagumi saw patterns emerging, which then shaped themselves into Malfoy’s laughing face as he held her arms above her head. She shook the image out, downed the goblet of potion and fell back into the bed, fully clothed.
Resisting little, the waves of sleep washed her away until her mind was completely at ease. She turned on her side and put her hand under her chin, a bit like a small child thinking terribly hard about something. Madame Pomfrey sat on the bed next to her and stroked Kagumi’s soft hair, feeling sorry for the girl. Since the Wing was empty except for her and one other person near the door, Poppy Pomfrey could safely stay and smooth the covers over her shoulders, after gently tucking her in and putting her bag under her bed.
Wiping her eyes, the Healer turned round and began bustling about, checking her stock and rearranging things to clear her mind.

Oct. 7, 12:10pm, Great Hall
Time had flown by quickly and in no time, it was October and auditions for the newly approved musical were in less than a week. Hogwarts was going to be doing their rendition of the United States musical, 'Rent'. Many people had singed up to audition and in amongst them were Jade, Gumi, Hermione, Ginny, Luna, and Ron and Harry.
"Which part did you sign up for?", Jade asked Hermione as they sat down for lunch.
"Actually, believe it or not, I signed up for Maureen", she answered with a small laugh. "Yes, she is a lesbian, but I like her character. Who did you pick?"
"I picked either Joanne or Mimi", Jade said. "Me and Gumi signed up for the same people, so that if one of us got one, then the other would get the other one."
"Which role did you pick Harry?", Gumi asked.
"I picked Roger", he said. "Mostly because he sings around the same note. Easier for me to learn. Ron?"
"Mark", Ron said then shoved a huge forkful of pasta into his mouth.
"Hey, guys, guess who I just saw, signing up for the auditions?", Ginny said quickly running up the aisle to where everyone was sitting.
"Oo?", Ron asked with his mouthful of food.
"Ferret boy", Ginny said.
Just then, Malfoy came in the Great Hall, still hobbling from what Harry did to him because of what he did to Gumi.

Oct. 7, 12:12pm, Great Hall
They all marveled for a moment at Malfoy's bravery or stupidity, they couldn't decide. Then Kagumi narrowed her eyes. “Oh, really?” She looked over the table towards the huge arched doorway, watching him hobble over to the Slytherin table. He had a black eye and various bandages scattered over his body, including a sling. Without blinking, she watched him sit down, not hearing the various conversations within the Hall. As far as she was concerned, the Great Hall could have been silent.
Thusly, she didn’t notice the group looking at her. All she could do was look at Malfoy, even when he turned his eyes upward from eating to stare at hers. He recoiled a bit when she sneered at him and watched sullenly as Harry gently turned her around.
“C’mon, Gumi…Don’t look at him.”
She turned with just a little bit of resistance, knowing that there was something she hadn’t told Harry: ever since he had been back, when neither Harry nor a teacher was around, Draco would follow her. Oh, he wouldn’t say anything. He would just…follow her. And when the two aforementioned parties were around, his eyes were on her almost constantly.
He would wait outside some of her classes, if they were on the same floor as his, and when the bell rang, he would begin walking down the hall as if he hadn’t been there the entire time. Or if she dared go to the Owlery, which wasn’t very often, she always could feel his eyes on her.
She never mentioned it to Harry or anyone else, but whenever he was around her, her heart would begin pounding in fear. A cold sweat would break out on her back and strange shivers would roll down her spine. She shook her head, trying to attune herself again to the conversation, which had taken a turn towards the “Malfoy incident”.
“I swear, you’d think he would stop looking at her when we’re around. After the beating Harry gave him, Malfoy should recognize that Kagumi wants nothing to do with him.”
“Yeah, ‘Mione. You’re right. Harry here did beat him pretty badly. Funny, though, that the only time he’s ever beat Malfoy was over a girl,” Ron choked out through laughter.
Harry glared at Ron over the table, even as both Jade’s and Kagumi legs struck out at him under the table. “OWW!”
“Speaking of the Ferret,” Kagumi muttered as she turned towards Harry. “You never really did tell me what exactly you did to him. I mean, it’s been over a month since his suspension and five days since he came back. So…tell me!” She leaned into his arm, as he was sitting right by her, and put on her cutesy pouty face. “Pweasy?”
So intent was she on trying to woo Harry into telling her Malfoy’s punishment, she didn’t notice Jade taking out a wooden paper-fan. She hit Kagumi on the head with it. “Leave him alone!” Harry cringed and put his hands up in defense.
“No, it’s alright, Jade. I’ll tell her.”

Harry went on to list the many things that he did, which included the Bat Bogey Hex, numerous physical violence, and throwing him down a set of stairs on the sixth floor.
"And the stairs are what hurt his arm", Harry stated. "Sadly."
"But at least I was there so that you didn't get caught", Jade said, taking a sip of her water.
"What?", he said. "You saved me? Who was the one who had to keep you from getting expelled last week, when he got back?"
"Yeah, and if it wasn't for me you would be doing Gods know how many detentions for beating him up", Jade retorted.
"Ok, ok, can we drop it?", Hermione said interjecting. "You helped him, he helped you, you're even in this matter. Now drop it."
"Oh, fine", Jade and Harry both said at the same time.
Oct. 21, 6:55am, Gryffindor Tower
Jade awoke to Gumi jumping up and down next to her and screaming as she did so.
"WILL YOU SHUT UP?!", Jade yelled sleepily, sitting up in bed. "Some of us aren't HYPER, every time they have sugar."
"They just posted the cast for Rent on the House Bulletin boards", Gumi said, now jumping beside Jade on her bed. "And guess who got the roles of Mimi and Joanne?"
"Who?", Jade asked.
"US!", Gumi yelled triumphantly and flopped onto the bed. "I'm Mimi and you're Joanne. Do you think I'd make a good actress? I mean I've always been good at small acting, but would it make much difference? I don't think it should, but maybe it will."
With Gumi still talking continuously, Jade got up and ran out of the girl's dorm room down to the Common Room to look at the newly posted list. Indeed, her name was listed as the one to be playing the role of Joanne. But as she scanned the list, she saw that Hermione was playing Maureen, the other lesbian, Ron was playing the part of Mark, and Harry was to play the part of Roger, who in the musical was Mimi's boyfriend.
"Great! Gumi gets to be Harry's "girlfriend". Perfect!", Jade thought to herself as she sat down. "But, maybe it won't be too bad. The only thing I really have to watch for is what happens when she had to act with Malfoy.."
That's right. Malfoy's name was on the list as the one to play Benny, wealthy friend who wants to tear down Tent City and build a studio.
"Well, this should get interesting", Jade said out loud to herself, sitting in one of the fluffy armchairs next to the fire.

Oct. 21, 7:32 am, Great Hall, Gryffindor Table
Kagumi was eating mass amounts of food again, and of course she and Jade were there earlier than almost everybody else in Gryffindor. Gumi giggled as everyone else filed in slowly. She was still way too hyper for the sister she was sitting across from. Jade’s pensive mood had not lifted and only got worse when Harry came down for breakfast and, spying the still-hyper Kagumi, put his arms around her, kissing her cheek.
“Good morning, Gumi…or shall I say…Mimi?”
She giggled again as he sat down. “Oh, quiet, you cad.” But even after she said that and playfully slapped him, she leaned into his shoulder.
Oct 21, 7:39 am, Great Hall, Slytherin Table
Kagumi was still leaning into Harry’s arm and looking very comfortable, indeed. Malfoy glared at Harry. Since he spent much of his free time pursuing her, he was feeling quite protective. He would fight Potter over her, if only he were in better condition. As the memories of what Saint Potter had done to him flooded back, his face began a slow flush filled with rage and hate. Hopefully, in the musical, Draco could woo her character…and in the process, entice her.
Crabbe and Goyle looked at each other. This last year, Malfoy hadn’t spent any time with them, except for necessities like classes and House times. And all he looked at was the Gryffindor students, especially those freakish twins. For all of their apparent stupidity, they knew something was up. Malfoy just wasn’t acting like himself.
There was another person watching the Gryffindor table as well, except her eyes kept darting between the Falcons and Malfoy. This was the spiteful gaze of Pansy Parkinson. Her pug-face was warped with maliciousness and she had to grit her teeth to keep from lashing out every time her Draco looked at that slut. She was going to be in the play, and had to act with her beloved. Malfoy was asked a question by one of his lackeys.
“What?” He said, absently, too busy looking at the twins to pay attention to anything else.
Pansy stood up angrily, stifling tears, and ran from the Great Hall.

Rerhersals started the following week after the cast made been chosen and the musical was to be directed by none other than Professor Dumbledore.
"I see that everyone is here, let us go around and say your name and who your will be playing", Dumbledore said.
"Um, I'm Dean Thomas and I am playing Tom Collins", Dean said.
"Hermione Granger, Maureen Johnson", Hermione said, raising her hand.
"Ron Weasley, Mark Cohen", Ron said, also raising his hand.
"I am Draco Malfoy, I will play Benny", said Malfoy, shortly.
"Benjamin Coffin III, that's right", Dumbledore corrected.
"I'm Jade Falcon, I play Joanne Jefferson", Jade said standing up then sitting back down.
"Gumi Falcon, I play Mimi Marquez", Gumi said just loud enough for everyone to hear and looking everywhere but at Malfoy.
"Lavender Brown, and I play Angel Dumott Schunard", Lav said with a small chuckle.
"Sure I'm last", Harry said with a laugh and stood up in place. "I'm Harry Potter and I play Roger Davis."
"Thank you", said Dumbledore as he stood up to hand everyone their scripts. "Now, as you know we will have a video tape running to record all of the rehearsals, so that we can go back and fix things when need be, alright?"
Everyone nodded.
"Alright then", Dumbledore said, retaking his seat at the forefront of the Gryffindor table. "Let us begin."
