The Lesson on Kneazles was dragging on. Harry was getting angrier by the
second.
*How did she find out?*
Hagrid now brought out a kneazle. All the girls "ooh-ed" and "awed" as Harry stared motionless at the creature.
"Now kids, kneazles can interbreed with regular cats. They have an uncanny ability to sniff out sneaky or suspicious people." Hagrid smiled and Harry could have sworn he saw him glance at Malfoy. Malfoy was petting a kneazle and the cat did not seem to mind in the least. "Alright Malfoy, now pass ole Buttercup around so everyone can take a good look at him."
"Here Potter," Malfoy said handing the cat over to Harry. "Can't think or a more sneaky or suspicious person then you." He smirked at Harry but Harry looked pale. As Malfoy held the cat closer he whispered, "You ok?"
"Hermione knows," Was all he managed to hoarsely whisper.
"What?!" Draco replied, dropping the kneazle, which was easily caught in time by Harry.
"Be careful with Buttercup!" Hagrid exclaimed as he came running over to Harry and grabbed Buttercup. "Oh, you're okay lil Buttercup. Who ever hasn't seen her come up here and you can pet her."
The majority of the class circled around Hagrid struggling to pet the kneazle as Malfoy pulled Harry aside. "What do you mean she knows?"
"I don't know! She just told be before she got here!" Harry looked over at Hermione and Ron, circled around Hagrid try to pet Buttercup. Hermione saw Harry and smiled nervously before quickly turning back to Hagrid. "Actually Ron told me."
"WEASLEY KNOWS?!"
"No! Shh! Keep quite! No, he just said to me that Hermione knew about, um, you, and she turned toward you and laughed a little bit." Harry started to raise his voice, "I'm pretty sure she knows!"
The crowd's attention had slowly started to fade from Hagrid and they were now starting to look at the two boys.
"Fight with me!" Draco quickly whispered to Harry and tried pushed him to the ground. Harry grabbed Draco's robes and pulled him down with him.
"Malfoy.. your.... such... an... arse!" Harry struggled with the other boy on top of him. Harry was trying to roll over but Draco had him pinned.
"OY! What is going on here?" Hagrid walked over to the boys.
Draco quickly rolled off Harry whispering "about time," As he stood up.
Harry quickly got to he's feet and said, "It's nothing!" and glared at Malfoy to create the full 'malicious' effect. Draco returned the glare. "I uh.. just kinda fell." Harry blushed and walked over to Ron and Hermione. He heard Malfoy laugh with his friends.
"Alright then Harry?" Hagrid asked. Harry nodded. "Well then, you better get inside. Almost time for lunch." The rest of the class quickly made their way into the castle, all that was except for Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Malfoy and his crew.
"Potter," Draco glared as he walked closer to Harry. "You and I need to finish our, 'conversation'." He poked Harry in the chest. Crabbe and Goyle snickered, obviously thinking that this 'conversation' would happen in some sort of wizard duel.
Ron thought the same, "Harry could beat you any day he wanted, Malfoy!"
Draco leaned in closer, whispering into Harry's ear, "Maybe that's what I want." Harry felt his hot breath on his neck and stepped away.
"You name the time and the place Malfoy and Harry and I will be there to whip your arse." Ron defended Harry.
Harry and Draco both smiled at the mental image before them as Draco said, "You want a piece of me too Weasley?" Harry snickered out loud as Ron looked shocked, completely missing the innuendo of the situation.
"Although I would thoroughly enjoy winning a duel against Harry and in front of a crowd, this one is private." Draco smirked, "Invitation only." He pushed Ron out of the way and walked straight towards the owlry and his trolls followed laughing behind.
"Can you believe him Harry?" Ron frowned. "Don't worry, Herm and I will be there to back you up."
"Actually, Ron, I think it would be best if I handled this one on my own. Come on lets get some food." Harry walked off towards the castle.
"Alright mate but if you need us will be here to help." Ron replied, following Harry.
