You Are The Moon

Chapter Three: Love

"Hang up that red dress,

let down your hair,

cancel those reservations

don't need to go no where.

As good as your looking right now,

girl bet your thinkin I'm crazy,

there's a side of you that I wanna see

that never ceases to amaze me.

Gimme that girl with the hair in a mess

sleepy little smile with her head on my chest,

thats the you that I like best,

gimme that girl.

Gimme that girl lovin up on me,

old t-shirt and a pair of jeans,

thats the you I wanna see,

gimme that girl, gimme that girl.

Gimme the girl thats beautiful,

without a trace of makeup of on,

barefoot in the kitchen,

singing her favorite song.

Dancing around like a fool,

starring in her own little show,

gimme the girl the rest of the world,

ain't lucky enough to know."

-Joe Nichols, Gimme That Girl

We had eaten dinner, had a bit too much of my parents champagne, played outside hide and go seek in the dark, played night time quidditch, and gone for another swim.

Now the six of us were lounging in the extravagant tree house located near the family lake, it was 5:02 am. No one had bothered taking off their swim suits, we just lazily summoned a bunch of blankets. Draco and I were entwined together on the dark purple couch swing swaying back and forth. Blaise was sleeping on the matching chair swing curled up like a fetus. Lacey and Pansy were sleeping cuddled together on the black futon, and Augie was laying on the floor tickling the bottom of Pansy's perfectly pedicured foot which was hanging off the futon in his face, he occasionally got a wiggle of her toes or a slight squirm of her leg and sometimes a moan from her pouty lips.

I was laying on top of Draco with my legs hooked under his knee's somewhat silently and sloppily kissing him when I heard a thud and my brother grunt in pain and then Pansy shouted "STOP IT NOW YOU STUPID ARSE!" Draco and I looked over to see Pansy's foot on Augie's stomach and Augie letting out strained laughs.

Augie grabbed Pansy's ankle and for a moment she looked horrified but then her weight was pulled out from under her as Augie sat up and she landed not so gracefully in his lap.

Draco raised his eyebrow at me. I shook my head at him to tell him I had no idea what this new look they gave each other meant. I looked over to Blaise then to Lacey and they were both still sleeping soundlessly.

When I turned my head back to my brother and my best friend I witnessed the most shocking thing I'd ever seen. Augie grabbed Pansy by the back of her hair and shoved her face into his. Pansy let out a strangled moan of protest but it soon changed into a moan of pleasurable agreement.

Augie stood. Holding her thighs up while her hands practically ripped out his hair. They stumbled out onto the balcony and were out of sight. The last thing I heard was hoarse "Accio Firebolt" from Augie before the whoosh that let me know they were gone.

Draco and I looked at each other with wide eyes and then burst out laughing. "What...th...the...ha..hell?" he asked me in between laughs.

When we both calmed down a little I replied "Hell if I know! I mean Pansy has always had sort of a thing for him, but I never thought Augie would act on it, I didn't even think he knew about it, maybe he didn't, and I mean I've never seen him act so aggressive or passionate with any other girl. Like, he usually just calmly has his way with the bimbos he brings around with him." Draco was still looking at me with an eyebrow raised, amusement on his face. He opened his mouth to say something but was cut off.

"He loves her, Pansy that is." Blaise stated from his now upright position on the swing. Draco jumped. "Jesus, Blaise! Trying to give me a fucking heart attack? How long have you been awake?" Draco asked aggravated for being caught off guard.

Blaise gave us a knowing half smile. "I never was asleep, and yes Draco it was indeed my goal to give you a heart attack." he said the last bit mockingly.

Draco gave him a childish dirty look that made me giggle.

"So what do you mean my brother is in love? With Pansy no less?" I asked Blaise. Doubt written all over my face.

"And shocked is the little sister of the cold hearted Slytherin playboy." Blaise said in a patronizing tone and I rolled my eyes. "But it's true Sabra. She may have a 'thing' for him but boy does he have one for her. He never shuts up about it actually. I'm surprised you don't know. Since you two are supposed to have that bond only twins share and know everything about each other." finished Blaise.

I pursed my lips and raised my eyebrows and I was about to say "Don't even go there" but Draco beat me to it. I slightly smiled with my eyebrows still raised.

Blaise stood and lifted his hands in surrender but his face was smug. "Well children, I out to be going. My father wants me home for seven o'clock quidditch practice. So I'll see you two on the Hogwarts Express." He picked up his clothes and broom from the pile by the fire place before he stepped into it.

"Oh and by the way, give Augustine and Pansy my best." He turned slightly to face Lacey who was now sitting with big tired eyes and a half asleep yet curious expression. "Lacey" he nodded to her in acknowledgment and then he said powerfully "Zabini Mansion" and vanished into green flames.

Lacey turned to us and started "what's..." then shook her head and smiled at us. "Never mind, night." and fell into the heap of blankets pansy had left. Within seconds we heard her small snores rise out of the blankets.

"Hmm. Interesting things to contemplate. I guess I wont be able to spend the night with Augie." I said almost laughingly with the worry of a nightmare in the back of my mind.

"I know you say you have nightmares with out him. But why not try sleeping with me for a change?" Draco suggested. I grinned at him. "Well if that's my only other choice." I said still smiling, he narrowed his eyes but his smirk told me he wasn't actually offended.

He settled onto his back, I crawled up lay my head on his chest, and swung a leg possessively over his stomach and comfortably placed my small foot behind him on the top of his hip.

I took a deep breath of his sent and he pulled a big comforter over us securely, leaving only my face exposed. "I love you Draco Malfoy." I said for the first time. He stiffened under me. Then relaxed as he said "I love you too Sabra Fairchild. I love you very much." I could hear the smirk in his voice and then he kissed the top of my head.

"Goodnight, darling." he said to me. But I was already asleep.

For the first time, with out my brother, I did not have one single nightmare.
