The promised chapter hath arrived! Enjoy (I hope). Next one should come soon.



Wednesday 31st October

Major tragedy - do not have matching cosmetics. Have stolen some from Blaise - hope he will not notice.

Minor inconvenience getting out of the castle - Filch thought I was female. I am not effeminate! Pink robes and cosmetics perfectly manly. Father wears them all the time.

Have told Filch I will report him to my father. Now have extra detentions after school every Monday…in Filch’s office. Have heard of his interesting methods of ‘punishment’. Will have to put a cushioning spell on backside before I go.

Lovely day today - nice breeze, pretty golden leaves all over the road. Very strange, being allowed out on a school-day.

Have seen Harry! He is with his two friends. How I wish I was one of them…well, perhaps not one of those two, exactly, but at least one of Harry’s most trusted friends and confidantes. And maybe, at night, once all others are asleep…

Too busy daydreaming and walked into metal pole. Harry and friends laughing at me now. My head hurts. Am going to Honeydukes for chocolate and Sugar Quills.

Feel better now. Chocolate made headache go away v. quickly. Can actually see properly now, too. Honeydukes chocolate excellent stuff.

Off to Zonko’s. Full of trick cups and noisy cushions. Have purchased fake snakes and frogs coated in slime to put in Goyle’s bed. For Crabbe, a powder that goes in his pumpkin juice that will turn his skin red and gold. Crabbe is very vain of his complexion. Almost feel bad, until memories of Crabbe and Goyle getting married return. Then, I cackle with glee and buy more things to prank them with.

Am considering slow-acting venom to put in their food. Will be entertaining watching them writhe in pain.

Am a little thirsty. Perhaps time for a drink at The Three Broomsticks…they serve good Gillywater. Nice bottle of Butterbeer would be good too. Will ask for drinks to be laced with Firewhisky.

*Several drinks later…*

Whooo…the room is funny - it spins around and around and around and around and around and around…

Everyone going back to Hogwarts now. Will go back too - must fix hair up for Hallowe’en feast.

Hehehe…I can see two doors. Which one is right?

Ow. Think I chose the wrong door…

Wheeeeee…can see Potter and friends now. Am going to go and talk to them. Beautiful Potter with his beautiful eyes…

Have an idea…will kiss Potter! Hehehe…beautiful Potter, beautiful eyes, beautiful scar…

*Draco swaggers drunkenly up to Harry. There is a sound like a cat being killed and Draco is thrown backwards, landing on his behind*

Potter didn’t want to kiss me! Hexed me with his wind - I mean, wand - and…now there is dust all over my pretty dress robes…all brown instead of pink…

Potter is running away now. He doesn’t love me…nobody loves me…

Need more Firewhisky.

*A few more drinks later…*

Am late for the feast! Supposed to be fancy-dress, and I have no costume…

…Maybe I can come as a princess…la-di-dah-di-dah-di-dah…pretty princess…

Don’t remember walking back to school, but currently am in dorm. Must find princess clothes and crown for feast…

Found something to wear - prettiful green dress with gold trim and gold crown. Lots of sparkly. I like sparkly…sparkly stars…

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
Potter’s hair is black as tar.
Harry’s eyes are brilliant green,
Prettiest I’ve ever seen,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
Potter’s hair is black as tar…

Look, I made a song! Wheee…

*Several drinks and a bit of chocolate later…*

Oooh, the Hall is so pretty…sparkly stars on the roof…but where is the Slytherin table? I see…one, two, three, four Slytherin tables…so many tables…

*Diary page ends here, possibly because Draco is too drunk to continue writing*

And with the end of Draco’s writing ability comes the end of the chapter. In the next chapter, we’ll see the Hallowe’en feast from Harry’s point of view while Draco recuperates. Don’t worry, though - Draco will have an important part in the feast, drunk though he may be.

Note to self: I can’t write a drunken person’s voice. If you have any tips for making Draco sound more convincingly drunk, that would be great.

Read and review, please. Don’t be afraid to criticise me - I can do with the help. Concrit is always appreciated.

Of course, if you really like it - praise away!
