It was afternoon. And a group of giggling girls sat round the centre in the Slytherin Common room, gasping now and then.
"And then they were caught by Professor Snape!! Everyone gasped." I know right. Poor them. They had to say goodbye to 100 points"
"Shouldn't have been snogging around then." Another girl spoke up, tone distasteful. Another girl snorted,
" You are just saying because you were eying the boy! Cassie. " Gasps were heard around once again. " Aww.. You wanted him! Cas!!" Everyone laughed, teasing the poor girl, who hid her face with her hands.
"Alright. Alright. My turn!" This time it was Pansy who spoke up. Excited to share her wonderful piece of gossip.
"Heard Potter is going out with Cho Chang and I also hea-"
"What?!"
The girls turned their heads meeting one boy's eyes who was reading without paying any mind to them.
Draco looked scandelisd , book perched in his lap, gaping, " Cho Chang, that ravenclaw seeker, That... That wet Napkin!! Cho Chang!"
Pansy stared, shocked, blinking at his sudden outburst. She was not even talking with him. She was just sharing gossips among her friends like they usually do and laugh about it afterwards. She could swear in these five years Draco had never paid attention to any of these chatter.
Well, she supposed, he successfully developed his ' Potter detector sense' fully.
"Yeah", she answered, eyeing him weraily. " They also went on a date."
"A date!!" He exclaimed loudly, face twisted in severe confusion and also anger?
"Are you alright, Draco?" Florence, a fellow fifth year Slytherin asked, baffled at his outburst.
The person in question jumped, stumbled on a half assed explanation and left the room, leaving the others in shock.
The room was quite except the tick tock of the clock. Draco stood in Dolores Umbridge's room, their new defence against the dark arts professor. He would not say he was fond of her. That woman was annoying with her constant questions and borderline cruel behaviour, which she unsuccessfully masked with her fake sweetness . But she was the only one who useful to him at the moment.
"Are you sure,Mr Malfoy?" came her annoying voice again. That shrill high pitched voice was grating his ears.
"Yes, Professor. I am pretty sure. I saw her sneaking around in the castle after classes. It must be because the secret meetings Potter is having in the castle, somewhere hidden, against your rules!" Draco
answered smoothly, emphasising on 'against' to get his point across. And also to rile the pink toad up.
"Alright. Then we will interrogate Miss Cho Chang this evening and get the truth out of her." Umbridge went on and on, saying a whole lot of nothing but Draco paid her annoying self no heed. He was satisfied.
'Heard Potter is going out with Cho Chang'
'They also went on a date'
Chang was going to pay. And Potter will finally see her for the wet Napkin she was.
