Embry looked across at Jacob, his eyes fierce with stung pride. "I just find that everything about him makes me wanna..." He looked down, ashamed with himself for thinking certain things about mere humans,
"I just don't like feeling out of control, m'kay?"

Draco smiled once again with an evil grin. "Right, sounds like a plan," he said, his grin becoming wider. "You stick to that, Serena, Lo and I, will tackle it in a different direction," he added with a nod. "And you are to make no inclination that we ever spoke," he said seriously. "Otherwise all our plans will fall apart."


Draco grinned, "Let's get going then." He winked at Serena as the began to make their way to where they were having their picnic.

Jacob looked at him, his head tilted kind of like a dog. "I know what you mean, Embry," he said. "It's nothing to be ashamed of. But come on, tell me what's wrong. It's got to be something else besides that. You either tell me now or when we've..." he paused and looked around, "phased."

"Later, please." Embry begged, clasping his warm hands together tightly. Perhaps with a little too much force.
But before he knew it, he was spilling it all out to one of his best friends.
"The boy's just slimy. Everything about him makes me think vampire. He's cold and sadistic and seems to know it all." Embry sighed, maybe coming here wasn't the best idea.

"Oh, Draco?" Jacob said. He didn't know much about the boy, but he did seem a bit evil. He patted Embry on the shoulder. "He won't bother you, I promise. I told them not to mess with you." He smiled. "Maybe we can give him a little taste of his own medicine."

Embry's eyebrows knotted together in confusion. "Wouldn't that be a bit dangerous, y'know, giving him a taste of his own medicine.. I mean, what if one of us became a bit too angry." He shook his head, "We couldn't risk that."

Summer nodded, "Abv-iously! We need to look superr adorable for the guys." She told her friend, beaming and casually glancing over at a few Ravenclaw boys staring at them. Summer looked down at Hermione's outfit and wrinkled her nose. "Absolutley! Let's go girlfriend." She said, taking her by the wrist and skipping in the direction of the Ravenclaw Common Room. Summer needed to give Hermiona a whole new makeover in only a short amount of time!

Quil raised his eyebrow as Embry sprinted out of the hall after making a lame excuse. "Excuse me fellows." He said, following in Jake's footsteps. Quil looked right and left before finding his two friends standing just outside the Great Hall.

"Hey... what's up?" He asked them in a confused tone.

"Man, you ruin the fun, don'tcha!" Jacob said, rolling his eyes and patting him on the back. He waved at Quil as he joined them. "I think Embry here feels a little homesick," he smiled. "No, I don't know really. He's got a problem with Draco Malfoy over there. He does seem a bit...evil."

Cho nodded and turned her attention to Riley whom had been silent this entire time. "Shall we go?" She asked him, and waited until the Slytherin had left to go outside before making her way. She didn't want to seem like she was going with them. They had to pretend that they hated each other to keep the plan in effect.

Serena nodded and walked with them, feeling the breeze blow through her blonde hair, causing strands to whip around her face. It really did seem like the pefect day to have a picnic. Continuing to walk with Draco and Lo, she spotted the place where the Gryffindors were situated.

Hermione let a slight gasp as she was whisked away by Summer towards the Ravenclaw Common room. "Are you sure I'm allowed to go in there?" She asked as they neared the place of where the Ravenclaw house was placed. The Gryffindor was scared that she would be reprimanded by a professor or even worse a group of Ravenclaws.

Looking around at where she was being towed, she gazed at her surroundings in wonder. She had never been here before. After so many years at Hogwarts, there were still places here that were unfamiliar to her. She didn't like that.

ooc: I think it's time I PMed some people...

Summer giggled, "Duurr Hermione. Why else would you be in here? Now come on! My room is up here!" She said, dragging her up a flight of steps to her dorm.

"Ta-da!" Summer stated dramatically, throwing open the door to her room. It was the standard four-poster beds with dressers and Ravenclaw blue walls. But it had been ab-viouusly Summer-ized. The floor was covered in a cushiony, pluffy rug that changed colors every few seconds, sparkles were sprinkled everywhere and a sweet, sugary smell filled your sensations the minute your toe stepped past the doorway.

Summer's bed and dresser was immedieatly evident. It was the only one with several daisy and fun-flower shaped pillows thrown on it. The only one with a large orange, pink and yellow tie-dyed blanket thrown over the traditional blue one. The only one that had posters of ah-dorable male Quidditch players that zoomed off and came back, winking and beaming dashingly.

Summer sighed and opened the drawers in her dresser. "I MUST have something for you in here.." She muttered, throwing colorful scarves and flowy shirts out of her way.

Quil frowned. "Well.. Draco didn't exactly seem real friendly." He pointed out, trying to defend Embry but stay on good terms with Jake as well. "Maybe we should just keep our distance like we planned before we came here." Quill said, folding his arms across his muscular chest.

Hermione smiled. She couldn't help herself, even though she might be breaking some rules. She did not know if other students were allowed in other houses's common rooms but whatever. It wasn't likely she would be caught, right? Following Summer into her dorm, she glanced around amazed at the personal touches Summer had done.

"Wow." Was the only thing that Hermione could utter. It was definitely Summer-ry. Lots of vivid colors which blinded the brunette slightly but once she got used to it, it was quite pleasant. "I like it." Hermione exclaimed. "It's awesome." She said turning to look at Summer. Dodging a few scarves that were flying her way, she laughed, picking them up from the ground and folding into a pile. "Do you really need so many scarves?" She asked, looking at them.

"Thanks!" Summer beamed widely at her friend. She spun around and started rummaging through her draws again for a few minutes. "Ahaha!" Summer declared, turning to face Hermione with a truimphant grin. She held up white tank top with large red polka dots on it, a matching red leather jacket (fall could be windy sometimes!), a wide red leather belt and a faded denim mini.

"Is this a chic outfit or what?!" Summer asked in an excited tone, admiring her fashion skills.

Hermione took a small step back. She had been surprised at how fast Summer had composed an outfit. Really now? It took her such a short time? How did the girl do it? And it was such a pretty outfit too.

Looking the thing Summer was holding up over, she smiled. It definitely wasn't something that Hermione would have chosen that's for sure. It took a lot of skill to be able to mix so many things that were the color red and not look like a walking apple in it. "It's gorgeous." She complimented, looking at Summer. "But you're ok with me wearing it?" She asked unsure. What if she stained it or something? Or ripped it?

The logic that she could probably repair it with magic flew out of Hermione's mind. She just didn't want to ruin the poor thing.

Jake smiled, rolling his eyes. "Well, I guess," he said, biting his lip and glancing at the girls. "That might be harder than I thought, though. People are...surrounding us. They seem to like us or something," he smiled.

"Durrr." Summer replied, throwing the outfit at Hermione for her to try on. "Go change. And then I'll fix you hair and face for you." She said, already turned around and feeling through the depths of her closet for her own outfit - no literally the depths of her closet. Summer had used a spell to make the closet bigger than it actually looked.

Selecting a few things off some hangers, Summer smiled at her friend and walked into the girl's lavatory to change and primp.

Quill grimmaced and nodded with Jake. He was right. Even as they were speaking, cliques of girls kept walking past them. Always whispering and giggling to each other. Quill averted their eyes and shifted his feet uncomfortably.

"Let's just stay as invisible as we can." He suggested to his friends, ignoring the rumors that were flying about them already.

Jacob nodded in agreement. "Yeah," he said in a whisper, watching the girls walking past. Where they that interesting? He shrugged. "We can do it. We'll get used to it." he nodded.

Catching the clothes, Hermione hid a small smile to herself. She couldn't believe she had found such an amazing friend, one who would trust her to wear her gorgeous clothes. How many friends were like that? She thought to herself as she quickly changed into the clothes that Summer had lent her.

Seeing a mirror at the other end of the dormitory room, she stepped before it and admired her reflection. Already Hermione felt a little different. She felt prettier and more dressed up. "I really need to invest in some clothes like these." She said as she admired the red.

Draco smiled as they approached the patch of grass where the Gryffindors were situated. "And it begins," he said, whispering evilly in Serena's ear, and linking his arm in hers. He stood there and waited for Cho to approach, waited for the first act of their prank to finally succeed. He looked from Lo, and then to Serena with a wide smile, slightly lingering on watching Serena, but then turned his attention to the group.

When Draco turned to Lo, she gave him a weak smile. She was beginning to grow bored. The Gryffindors were doing nothing out of the ordinary, and this prank, well it began to seem a little pointless. She then turned her attention to where the three boys were sitting, beginning to frown. Were they up to something?, she thought to herself. She did have seem to like one of them, but then again, she probably seemed as a silly school girl, from a silly school. Not wanting them to think that she turned her attention back to the group in front of her, tapping her foot.

Jumping slightly at the contact that they were making, Serena looked at Draco, who had linked his arm with hers, with wide blue eyes. Realizing that he probably could read every emotion that was on her face, she immediately closed the book and regained an effortless smile. "This is going to be so much fun." She whispered as she waited for the Ravenclaw to start her strategy.

Seeing the Gryffindors already outside, minus Hermione Granger and that bright and cheery character Summer, Cho smirked to herself as she walked up to them. This would put Ginny in her place. The redhead was pretty, but definitely did not live up to the standards of Cho Chang...or so the asian thought.

"Hey guys." Cho said happily, situating herself right beside Harry. She gave them all a bright smile. "Thanks for inviting me." She thanked them all. It was a perfect opportunity. Befriend them, than break them. I should have been put in Slytherin. She laughed to herself.

It was time to play.

Seeing Cho skip over to the Gryffindors, she had to admire her acting techniques. The blonde didn't know if she could fake her happiness THAT well. Looking over to see Lo and Draco's reactions, the blonde was surprised to see that Lo looked slightly bored. Or was she uncomfortable?

Leaning over slightly so her voice couldn't be heard by Jacob, Quil and Embry who were sitting quite close to them, she muttered a question to Lo. "What's wrong?" She asked concerned.

Ooc: Hey guys, I'm going to be gone for a week because I'm going on vacation. As soon as I get back, I'll try to respond!

Draco nodded in approval as Serena whispered, also facinated by the fact that she had not pulled away from him. Satisfied, he smiled to himself, and turned his attention to Cho, waiting for her to approach the gang.

Draco smiled contently as Cho made her way over to the Gryffindors, she was playing her part considerably well. How Harry could've chosen the Weasley girl over Cho completely surprised Draco. This was it. This was going to break the Gryffindors. "What should we do first?" Draco whispered to Serena and Lo deviously.


Lo watched as Cho floundered over to the Gryffindors. Well, that got the ball rolling, she thought to herself. Something may happen, and something may not. It better, she thought to herself once again. She'd hate to think that she was wasting her time on something that wouldn't work out.

Turning to Serena, who had leaned over and asked a question Lo but her lip. "Nothing," she said with a smile, looking at the stunning blonde, slightly jealous of her looks. "These Gryffindors, they're just so- unimaginative, and well, to put it plainly, boring," she said with a wave of her hand. Would this hurt their friendship? While Serena and Draco were excited Lo was, well, not. I hope not, she thought to herself.

"Well, let's not do anything that would ruin Cho's little act over there." Serena said, taking another quick glance at the petite Asian who was all smiles and batting her dark lashes at Harry. Looking back over to Draco, her eyes paused briefly on Jacob and his friends. Did they really like to be so isolated? The blonde knew what it was like to feel surrounded by people but really now. They were new here. Wouldn't they want to be so they could make new friends?

Ignoring them, she turned back to Draco. "What do you think we should do?" She asked. "I wonder if brave little Potter over there would stick up for Cho if we started insulting her?" She asked, smirking slightly.


"They are definitely boring." Serena said. "But this is why we're doing this." She said, giving her a small smile. Something wasn't right here and the blonde wasn't sure of what it could be. Gripping Draco's arm a little tighter, she hoped it understood what she was trying to do. She needed Draco to see how Lo was acting right now. Maybe he knew what was going on with her today.

Draco's eyes followed Serena's gaze at the three boys. Why were they huddled just over there? Why were they not joining the people around them? There's something fishy about them, he thought to himself. And I'm going to be the one to find out what it is.

Turning his attention back to Serena, his grin widened at her plan. "Perfect idea," Draco whispered to her, smirking. This was it, this was what was going to tear up Harry's and Ginny's relationship.


Draco turned to Serena as her grip tightened, and payed attention to Lo. What was wrong with her? He shrugged to Serena not knowing what was going on in the petite girls mind. "This might cheer her up," he said whispering to Serena, and dragging them over to the Gryffindors. "Well, well, look who it is, little Miss Chang," he said smirking, and giving her a hidden wink to let her know that they were playing along. "Still trying to get Potty's undying attention I see," He added with a smirk.

Lo turned to Serena and nodded, it still seemed pointless though. Again she glanced at the three sitting down. They were so detatched from everyone, but they had tried to make friends with them, yet how did they repay them? They walked several feet away. Lo followed as Draco led them to the group, and insulted Chang. Would that be a good enough insult? Or was he just getting started? She looked at the group of Gryffindors, who were oblivious to what was happening, and what was going to happen.

Embry snorted. A little too hard than he meant to, and started coughing on his own bile. "Ugh, that was unfair, Jake." He moaned, as he finally cleared his air tube.

Embry nodded in agreement. They had to try and get used to it. After all, it wasn't Forks anymore.

Summer threw open the door to her dorm and nodded in satisfaction at Hermione's outfit. So adorable, and it looked terrific on Hermione. Summer herself ran a hand down the front of her suedue leather jacket that cinched at her waist. So fall-like. She loved it.

"Now for your hair and makeup!" Summer sing-songed, her eyes glinted - she'd have so much fun with this part. "You sit here, and let me work my magic." She told Hermione, dragging her over to a chair next to Summer's stash of beauty supploes.

Embry nodded and swallowed. "So what shall we do for our remaining Saturday afternoon?" He asked his friends, keeping his eyes on their faces instead of those that kept staring at him.

Harry was talking to Ginny, turning to Cho as she sat down next to him. He glanced at Ginny, waiting carefully for her reaction. He gave her a hopeless shrug. He turned to her and gave her a meek smile before turning back to Ginny.
"Who are you going with to Hogsmeade" He said, only after finishing he realised how ridiculous that sounded. She was dating him. He gave her a tragic look and turned to Cho.
"So..how are you?"
