Hogwarts:
Everyone is in the Great Hall watching as the first years get sorted. The Gryffindors clap as Sanchia Smith is sorted into Gryffindor. Cassie catches a glance from Draco and smiles at him.
"What is going on, Cassie?" Harry asks from beside her.
" What do you mean?" Cassie replies, glancing at Draco.
"You just smiled at Malfoy and you keep glancing at him."
Desirata looks up from Harry's other side.
"What's wrong with Malfoys?" she asks hurt.
"Desirata, you're okay, but the rest of your family's not."
"And what's that supposed to mean?"
"Desirata, please don't do this now."
"Don't do what?"
Cassie realizes what is coming and quietly gets up from the table and walks out of the Great Hall. She walks into an empty an empty classroom and leans against the wall breathing heavily at the narrow escape for Harry. She jumps as a hand lands suddenly on her shoulder.
"Calm down," Draco chuckles.
He kisses her gently. His hand slowly moves inside her robes and under her shirt. She inhales sharply and his eyes fly to her face.
"No?" he asks.
"I wasn't saying no. You're just different than Fred."
"Will you stop comparing me to that stupid…"
She kisses him.
"Just shut up, Draco."
She moans softly as she feels his hand on her breast. Draco plays with Cassie's now erected nipple and then as he thinks about how much he wants to have his mouth on it, sucking and biting. He squeezes her harder then he should have and makes Cassie gasp and her gaze fly to his face.
"I'm sorry, Cassie. Did I hurt you?"
"No, you didn't hurt me. It just felt odd."
Draco kisses her passionately before quickly pushing her away from him. She looks at him with a mixture of madness and shock on her face.
"Go back to your common room, Cassie."
She clenches her fists at the fact that he was again rejecting her. She turns away from him and is about to open the door.
"Cassie, I'm not rejecting you, dammit, but if I don't stop now I won't be able to stop myself. And although I know that I'm ready I don't think you are," he shakes his head and frowns, "You're so damn fragile."
"I'm not fragile!" She exclaims offended.
"Cassie, love. I didn't mean to offend you it's just you look as if you'll break from a mere touch. I bet Weasel never really touched you."
"That's not true. I mean we never slept together, but we were physical witrh each other and I haven't broken yet!" She yells at him.
She turns on her heels to walk away, but stops as Draco grabs her arm and pulls her back to him.
"I'm sorry, Cassie, but look at you. Pansy was different. She wasn't so damn skinny."
Cassie looks down at her petite body. She never really realized the fact that her ribs showed before.
"I never really noticed it before. I'm just this way naturally. I'm not going to apologize for not being a cow like Pansy."
Draco runs his hand, that isn't holding onto Cassie, through his hair, "Look, this is hard for me. You're fragile to me, because I don't want to hurt you."
"Fred didn't care about my size," She says looking at the floor.
"Well, maybe he should have."
Her gaze flew to his face at the anger behind these words.
"That stupid Weasley never could see anything beautiful, even if it was dancing naked in front of him," Draco's eyes burned with a kind of loathsomeness and sparkled with something else.
"I'm not beautiful," Cassie says quietly.
Draco pulls her close to him and kisses the tip of her nose, "You're not anything, but beautiful."
Cassie smiles slightly and kisses him the kiss quickly turns more passionate and wanting.
Gryffindor Common Room
Desirata walks into the common room to see Harry the only one still awake sitting in a chair by the fire. She smiles at him as she walks up and sits on the arm of the chair.
"What are you still doing up, Potter?"
"Waiting on Cassie. I'm going to kill her when she gets back. She knows better then to…"
He cuts off as Desirata leans down and kisses him. She pulls away for a mere second before leaning back down and falling into his lap with another kiss. She straddles him and presses harder against his lips. She parts his lips with her tongue and enjoys exploring his mouth before pulling away for breath.
"What'd you stop for?" Harry whines and Desirata giggles.
"So, I can see if you want me to continue," She says laughing and leans down to kiss him again.
Cassie walks into the common room after a lot of persuasion with the Fat Lady. Her gaze goes instantly to Desirata and Harry. She picks up and ink bottle on a nearby table and throws it at Harry.
"You stupid hypocrite!" She yells at him.
Harry easily catches it with his Seeker reflexes and continues to snog with Desirata.
"I'm busy no, sis. Argue later." He says in short sentences.
Cassie stands there for a few more seconds before giving up and going to her dorm.
"Harry," Desirata says pulling away slightly, "Shouldn't someone make sure she's okay? She was pretty upset."
"She'll be fine."
"You didn't think that a while ago."
"She'll be fine, " He repeats firmly bringing her head back down.
Cassie collapses onto her bed, "Stupid guys." She says to her pillow.
"I agree," The pillow answers.
A while later she hears Desirata walks into the dorm room.
"Cassie, are you awake?"
No answer.
"Cassandra, I know you're mad, but, dammit talk to me."
"Why?" She asks.
"Because we're best friends," she replies and the pleads, "Please, talk to me."
Cassie raises her head and stares at Desirata, who comes and sits on the bed beside he, "I'm starting to have feelings for your brother."
"Really? For Draco? But he's a Potter and you're a Malfoy," Cassie just looks at her, "Oh, so are Harry and I. Is that where you were all night?"
Cassie nods silently.
"That's why you called him a hypocrite. He had such a problem with you even being my friend and then he goes and dates me."
"Can't blame him. I want to date a Malfoy too. My body reacts just thinking about Draco. The way he was touching me and…"
"Eww… Cassie… I don't need to hear this."
"What are you guys talking about?" Hermione asks sleepily from another bed.
"Nothing, 'Mione." The chime simultaneously and burst out laughing.
"You know," Desirata whispers, "If we marry those two idiots, then we'll be related!" She squeals.
"Go to be, you two! Some people need to sleep!" Hermione says irritably from across the room to the two excited best friends.
The girls jump guiltily and go to their respectable beds for the night, but not before promising to talk again in the morning.
