"Did you really have to hit me that hard?"
"Oh, you'll be fine--now stop being such an infant, and hold still. Couldn't you wash your own face? I didn't hit you *that* hard; besides, you deserved every bit of that, and you know it, Mr. I-promise-to-never-call-you-that-again!"
"Whaaaaat? I have to keep up appearances, you know that--how would it look if I suddenly stopped--ow!--harrassing you properly? Someone might get suspicious."
"Oh, alright, fine--but you owe me! And I said, hold still!"
"Oww! Me?!? You *hit* me!"
"Yes, but I never promised that I wouldn't, now did I? Here, hold the ice--no--I said hold it there! I can't imagine why that healing spell didn't work; it's simple enough, and since you won't go to the healing wing, you're stuck with me. Draco, you have to hold it to the bruise! There, that's better. Besides, I had to keep up appearances, didn't I?"
"You know, I really hate it when you smile like that. I--ai!--don't know how you did it, but you fooled the Sorting Hat--you should've been in Slytherin from the start."
"Well, now, I wouldn't be much fun if I couldn't act, now would I? And if you don't like this smile, Dragon Boy, then just what are you going to do about it?"
