"Oh, Drakieeee!" Draco Malfoy slowly opened his eyes and saw his two best friends, Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zabini, standing in the doorway of his room. He rolled over and put the pillow over his head before mumbling something completely incoherent.

"Get the fuck up, mate. We're going to a party in two hours whether your hair is perfect or not."

Draco rolled over again and sat up at the pace of a dying elephant. "Prick. What time it is?" He paused and looked as though he were in deep thought. "…is it?"

"Six Thirty in the bloody afternoon."

"Who's having a party?"

"Drakie-poo, that's a big surprise. Get up and get ready, you're definitely going to want to look your best for this; it's been a long time."

"I told you to stop calling me that." And he rolled out of bed and into the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Blaise sat on Draco's bed while Pansy went to his closet to find something for him to wear just like she had been doing for everything important for the last four years. "Blaise you better be damn sure that this was her, I don't want to get his hopes up for nothing, you already got mine sky high, I've missed her like crazy."

Blaise got up from the bed as Pansy stopped moving when she came across that one thing their friend had left them so long ago, well, she had left it for Draco. Delivered to him by his father, Draco had framed the note she left him with those five words that never came true until, hopefully, today. 'I'll be back, I promise' with a small heart next to the word promise. Blaise wrapped his arms around Pansy from behind. "I swear it was her. When I called, I felt her, I got that same good feeling I haven't felt since the four of us were together. And my father said she came to see her father today, and before she left she asked for a shit load of alcohol, Drake's father was there too, but he hasn't been home in over three days so I'm positive D doesn't know yet, I miss her too."

Just then, Lucius Malfoy burst through the doors to Draco's room. "Where's my son? I have important news."

Blaise and Pansy looked at each other. "We know, sir. We're bringing him to her tonight."

"Does she know?"

"No, it's a surprise, for both of them."

Lucius thought a moment before nodding his head. "Be careful, it's been a long time since they've seen each other. Who knows how they'll react."

"Yes sir, he might not admit it, but we know how upset he's been over the last four years, he hasn't been the same since she left without saying goodbye. I can't believe she would do that, to all of us."

Lucius nodded his head and turned around to leave but as he was shutting the door he spoke to them over his shoulder. "It wasn't her choice." And then shut the door before either of them could respond.

"This should be an interesting night."

"Yeah, you said it. Drake! You almost ready?"

A couple hours later, Draco, Pansy, and Blaise walked into the Burrow. "What the fuck, guys? Isn't this the Weasley's house?"

"Well, I guess it is, get over it, we're here. Have a drink." Pansy grabbed a bottle filled with some sort of muggle liquid off of the table next to them and handed it to Draco. He looked at it like it was poison but took a sip anyway. He took in his surroundings and noticed that almost the entire school was there, along with other people he didn't know. He saw loads of people drinking and almost everyone was doing some form of dancing. Couples were heading upstairs to look for empty bedrooms and some didn't even mind and were going at it right on the couch. The music was blaring and there were strobe lights flashing.

"Alright so I'll admit this is a pretty sweet party."

"Yeah, so let's find the girl in charge, shall we?"

"Why?"

"You'll see, c'mon."

As the three friends mingled around the party trying to find the person they came for, Lexia was grinding against Harry, beer in hand, to the song Hot Chick by Uffie. "Babyyy, I LOVE this song. Thanks for dancing with me." She purred in his ear while they danced.

Ron, who was talking to Neville Longbottom and a few other friends from school, saw Lex and Harry out of the corner of his eye and turned to his sister. "That relationship progressed fast, aye?"

"Yeah, tell me about it, they look like they've been dating for years. It's kind of cute though, I'm happy for them."

"Same here, sis." The song switched over to Mr. Right by Mickey Avalon and Harry and Lex decided to take a break and joined Ron and the group.

"Guys, meet my girlfriend, the amazing party planner herself, Lexia." She blushed as Harry continued to go through each person's name.

Not far from them, Blaise and Pansy finally spotted Lex as Draco recognized the song that was playing. "Shit, this song is tight guys. It's a muggle artist, he's pretty cool."

"Oh yeah? You should dance then." Pansy then pushed Draco hard and he stumbled backwards and ran right into someone.

He turned around to apologize but when he realized who it was he dropped his bottle and it shattered into pieces on the hardwood floor. Pansy cast a spell that turned the music down a bit so she could hear the conversation, but not enough to stop the party from going on. "What the fuck is in this drink?"

Lexia didn't know what to do, she didn't expect to see him this soon. She had a feeling he would hear about the party, and she had sworn she had recognized Blaise's voice as one of the callers for the party, but for some reason she didn't expect to see him. So she stood there, starring, waiting for something to happen. Emotions were hitting her like a hurricane and memories were rushing back to her and she realized who she was starring at. Her best friend, the first thing she saw when she was brought into the world was him, as a baby of course, in his mother's arms. They'd been inseparable. And she jumped on him and gave him the biggest hug she possibly could. She wrapped her legs around his waist and started to cry. She had missed him so much she didn't care who was watching and neither did he. He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her like he would never let her go, he couldn't, and he wouldn't loose her again.

"I'm sorry Draco, I'm sorry for leaving." She whispered in his ear. He did his best to shake his head but she had too tight of a grip around his neck.

"It's okay, you're back, you're here now."

"What the FUCK is going on? Get the fuck off my girlfriend Malfoy." And they both snapped back into reality and realized where they were and who was around them. Lexia slowly slid off of Draco and walked towards Harry but it was too late. He pushed her out of the way and punched Draco as hard as he could, right in the jaw.

"Fuck, Potter." Draco growled, jumped off the floor and started throwing all of his strength to punching Harry as hard as possible. By now, the music had stopped and everyone was watching the scene before them. Even those who were used to seeing the two boys fight were shocked. The hatred between the two had doubled but all of the sudden Draco stopped and got off Harry, which gave Pansy the perfect opportunity to cast a spell on Harry so he was unable to attack Draco. "Did you say girlfriend?" Draco turned and looked at Lex. "How long have you fucking been here that you've had enough time to meet and start dating that?"

Everyone turned to look at Lexia, she knew this would happen, "Well, um…" She paused and looked around and spotted Blaise and Pansy. Her eyes began to water again when all the memories came back and she responded, very quietly, as her voice cracked. "…about a month."

"A fucking month? You knew where we were, you knew you could find us, and I had to wait to see you after four years until a fucking party comes around? And you two…" He spun around to face Blaise and Pansy. "Did you know she was here for this long?" They both shook their heads.

Blaise came forward and tried to settle him down, "We just found out today, D. We wanted to surprise you here. Who cares how long she's been here. She was going to come see us eventually, right?" He looked at Lex and she nodded her head, not trusting her voice. "See, she's here now."

Draco turned to face Lexia and he remembered how she left, no goodbyes, no I'll miss you, not even a warning. One morning he woke up and she was gone, until right now. "Fuck you" And he turned and walked out the door. Blaise and Pansy both gave her a quick hug but she shook them off.

"You go after him, you have my number now, right? Call me tomorrow." She was speaking in barely a whisper. She walked towards the stairs and went up to her room. As Pansy left she removed the spell from Harry and he followed Lex.

"Alright you bloody wankers, let's party!" Ron yelled, trying to get everyone's attention back to the party.
