Serena awoke to the chirping of birds outside of her window. She lifted her torso from under her comforter and stretched her arms above her head. Her tanktop shifted, exposing her midriff.

"Good morning, beautiful." A voice came from beside her. She screamed in shock.

"Pucey? What the hell are you doing in my room? Get the fuck out."

He ignored her request. "I brought you breakfast in bed." True to his word, a platter lay on her night table; eggs benedict, two slices of buttered toast, a glass of orange juice, and to complete the dish, a single rose.

"Uhm, thanks. Mind telling me what you're doing here? Where's Michael?"

"The others are sleeping. I wanted to surprise you. Don't you want any breakfast?" He noticed that she hadn't eaten a bite.

"No, I'm not very hungry."

"Oh."

"But it was a very nice gesture!" Serena quickly threw in, noticing his crestfallen look.

"Yeah. I was thinking about you last night, so I thought I'd do something nice for you. To you know, sort of make amends, maybe?"

"Oh, um, yeah sure."

"Great. So, do you want to go for a walk or something?" She didn't want to, but she nodded anyways. Without even bothering to change out of her sleep shorts and camisole, she took Adrian's hand and walked outside to the gardens. They walked silently for a while; Adrian kept trying to make small talk, but Serena shot him down each time. Couldn't he tell that she wasn't interested?

"So, how do you like being a Conzonni?"

"It's fine."

"Different, right? Not what you expected?"

"Yeah."

"Your parents are nice. You're lucky to have such a good family."
"Yeah, I guess."

"So, how are you?"
"I'm good."

"Any plans for today?"

"Nope.

What was wrong with her? Adrian was a fine specimen of a man; he was sure girls would line up to lick the bottom of his shoe if he asked. How could this girl be immune to his irresistible charm?

"Where the fuck is Pucey?"

"I dunno, mate."

"Maybe he's out with your sister." Draco jokingly announced.

"Ey, shut up. That's not funny." Michael snapped. "Where is Serena, anyways?"

"I found them," Theo shouted.

"Where?" Michael rushed over to the window he was standing by. Theo pointed out to two distant figures walking together along a tulip lined pathway. "What the fuck are they doing?"

Michael rushed downstairs and out the door leading to the garden. He had no idea where they were. It took approximately twenty minutes for him to find them. From the second story of the house, Blaise, Theo, and Draco were watching Michael run around like a mouse in a maze. It amused them to no end.

"Adrian, I've been looking all over for you. You're needed inside the Manor," Michael said sweetly.

"Oh, uh, right now? Can't it wait?" the boy asked.

"Right now. Let's go."

"Uhm, ok. Bye Serena, Thanks for walking with me."

"No problem. Bye Adrian." The two embraced a second too long for Michael's taste. He grabbed Adrian by the arm and led him away. Once at a distance far enough from Serena, he blew up.

"Just what the fuck do you think you're doing?" Michael yelled.

"What? I was just taking a walk. Since when is it a crime to admire nature?"

"You know what I'm talking about, Pucey. I know you, I know your intentions, and I know the way you treat girls. My sister is not a slut, so don't even begin to lower her standards like that." Michael hissed.

"It was nothing like that, mate."

"Don't go near her. She's not fucking interested, ok? Just stay the fuck away. All four of you need to stay away, or there will be consequences. If you touch her, I will beat your ass into next century, is that clear?"

"Crystal."
