"Laura, why couldn't we have gone to Hogwarts for school? I mean our high school lives were so boring. I WANNA LEARN MAGIC!" I whined to my best friend. She looked over at me from her spot on the couch and gave me a weak half smile.

"I wanna learn magic too! But unfortunately we can't do that…. Because we didn't go to Hogwarts… and we're not witches." She stated. I sighed heavily and slid off the couch on to the floor. I spread out on my back and stared at the ceiling before glancing up at my red-headed best friend.

"Well I guess it's okay. I have a Weasley in disguise as my best friend." I said, giving her a smile.

"Yes, and I have my own Luna Lovegood as a best friend. I guess we can deal with this." She responded, giving a light laugh.

"But Laura, you're forgetting that I'm supposed to marry Draco Malfoy!"

"And I'm supposed to marry Ron Weasley, but it doesn't look like that's happening anytime soon." She replied.

"I guess we should go to bed. It's already 2 in the morning." I stated, pulling myself up off the floor. Laura nodded her head in agreement and we headed to her room to go to bed. We had no trouble getting to sleep. As soon as our heads hit the pillows, we were out like a light.

When I woke up the next morning, I knew something wasn't right. My eyes weren't even open yet and I could already tell that I was no longer in Laura's bed. I was contemplating whether or not I should open my eyes. My brain was screaming at me to just go back to sleep and everything would be okay. Of course, I went against my better judgment and opened my eyes. What I saw gave me a shock.

I was covered in an emerald green duvet and silver silk sheets. I slowly sat up in bed and realized that the bed I was currently occupying was enclosed by matching emerald green curtains with silver embroidery.

I hurriedly jumped out of bed and realized that there was a trunk with a Slytherin crest on the front of it next to my bed. It also had my name printed in cursive on the top. I cautiously opened it and surprisingly found all of my clothes neatly folded. I knew it was September so it was still a bit hot out. I grabbed a pair of high rise cut off jean shorts and a black crop top that had the Slytherin crest on the front of it. I remembered these clothes from home.

I changed out of the loose pajamas I had been wearing in to my clothes before a horrible thought hit me. Where was Laura? I froze in place as it hit me that I hadn't seen my best friend yet. I slowly sat down on my bed and thought for a moment. I knew this place was familiar. I was in the Slytherin dorm. That meant Laura must have been in the Hufflepuff dorm. But how the hell did we get here?

"Kendle?" a voice asked from the doorway. I looked up and saw none other than Pansy Parkinson. I didn't speak. "Draco's worried that you haven't come down yet. It's almost breakfast." She finished. I smiled slightly. Draco was worried about me? Why?

"Tell him I'll be down in a minute." I responded before she turned and headed down to what I assumed was the common room. I went to the door that led to which I assumed was the bathroom. I was right. I quickly fixed my shoulder length straight blonde hair before realizing that I already had makeup on. Was it charmed to stay on like this? Hmm… I don't know. But I needed to go downstairs and find out what's going on. I was about halfway down the stairs when I heard a familiar voice.

"There's my little Slytherin princess. I was worried you weren't feeling good or something. It's not like you to come down late."

I whipped my head to the side as I reached the bottom of the stairs and saw a very tall and lean Draco Malfoy smiling at me. Not smirking, but smiling.

"Um… yeah. I feel fine. Just overslept I guess." I responded awkwardly. Unfortunately he noticed.

"Kendle, are you okay?" he asked, striding over to me and placing his hands on my shoulders. I almost stopped breathing at the contact.

"I'm fine." I stated. The thought of Laura was still on my mind. "Um by any chance would you know were Laura Harrison is?" I asked. He rolled his eyes at me and he smiled slightly.

"She's probably already down at breakfast. I still don't understand how you can be friends with a Hufflepuff though."

I figured that if I was going to deal with this without them getting suspicious, I better just play along.

"Draco, let's head to breakfast?" I suggested. He wrapped his arm protectively around my waist and kissed my cheek lightly.

"Of course, baby." He said happily before leading me out of the dungeons. The walk to the Great Hall was a long one. Draco's arm stayed around me the whole way there. I was confused. He was acting like I was his girlfriend or something. Oh god, I really needed to talk to Laura. Hopefully she would know what to do. I wonder how much everything's changed for her. Is she dealing with the same thing I am? My god I just needed to see her. Maybe that would make me somewhat sane again.

"Babe, are you sure you're okay? You seem out of it this morning." Asked Draco in a worried tone. It broke me out of my trance. We were standing inside the Great Hall at the Slytherin table.

"I'm fine, Draco. I promise." I said before I scanned the tables for my redheaded best friend. I instantly found her. She was sitting at the Gryffindor table next to Ron Weasley. He had his arm draped around her shoulders and she looked kind of nervous.

"Go talk to her. I know you want to." Stated Draco. I smiled and quickly scurried over to Laura. The second she saw me she jumped up and hugged me.

"Oh my god! Kendle, I don't know what happened when we went to sleep last night but I fucking love this!" she exclaimed. I giggled.

"I know! Apparently I'm dating Draco Malfoy!" I whisper yelled to her.

"And I'm apparently dating Ron Weasley!" She whisper yelled back. I hugged her tightly and pulled away.

"Well, um, Draco's staring at me. I'm gonna go back to him. By the way, let's play along with this… maybe we will never have to leave!" I said excitedly. Laura nodded her head in agreement. I turned on my heel and headed back over to Draco. He smiled as I took a seat next to him.

"I made you a plate, sweetie." He said sweetly. This was a Draco that I had never expected to see.

"Thank you, babe." I said quietly. He then proceeded to slide a plate of pancakes with whipped cream, blueberries and strawberries on top in front of me. I turned to him and smiled.

"I know it's your favorite." He stated simply before taking a spoonful of cinnamon oatmeal in to his mouth.

I ate my breakfast in silence, sneaking glances between Laura and Draco every couple minutes. I couldn't help it. Just yesterday it was just me and my best friend living our boring lives in America. Now here we were in Hogwarts. In England. Away from home. With boyfriends we didn't know we had. I guess the only thing left to do was play along and hope that we can stay here forever.
