I disclaim.

Draco Malfoy's New Years Resolutions:

1. Will try to be nicer to—will try to tolerate—will try not to torment Hufflepuffs—too much—Ah, screw it! Will address Hufflepuffs issue next year … maybe.

2. Will scowl more menacingly and more often at stupid Puffles (this doesn't conflict with first resolution since it's already been tossed).

3. Will not stare at a certain red-haired girl when I think she isn't looking … because she is.

4. Will not watch aforementioned redhead practice Quidditch as her arse looks better when it's not covered up.

5. Will not agree that the She-Weasel's arse 'looks better when it's not covered up'.

6. Will not let self fall for Blaise's rhetorical traps or attempts at 'wit'.

7. Will not try to picture Snape in nothing but black stockings and suspenders (addendum to resolution: Gregory is bent and must seek mental aid for the chap).

8. Will kill Blaise if he makes one more quip about fostering inter-house relations via oral policies.

9. Will personally eviscerate the Machiavellian villain (or villainess) who taught Blaise Muggle jargon.

10. Will ridicule Potter in front of Weaselette for social experimentation and personal amusement only, not just to get her attention (or to emasculate and humiliate the useless tosspot to demonstrate to the redhead how desirable I am- she should know this by now).

11. Will put less gel in hair (am beginning to look like a poof).

12. Will not—will only kiss Weasley girl when absolutely necessary.
