A/N: I'M SO SORRY! I looked at the date I last posted and it was more than a month ago. Oh I'm sorry it took me this long. I couldn't get motivated, so I was writing a couple paragraphs every couple days. But I sat down today and wrote. I wasn't going to stop until I got this posted today. I'm hoping this yummy chapter makes up for my lack of time. I looooove you all so much for sticking with this even though I'm stupid and don't update as often as I should. World of Warcraft consumes most of my days. And for that I'm not sorry, because I totally love that game. Nerdy, I know. However, I will start writing more frequently. I think I'm a bit bored with it right now and that's why, but in the next couple of chapters actual plot will begin to appear instead of this fillers I keep writing. I don't mean for them to be, they just happen...a lot.

However, this song I've been listening to has given me inspiration, and that is why I molded this chapter around it. It reminded me a lot of Kendra and Draco.

Alyssa: Look at me! I updated! :) I miss you. I miss lunch with you and the crazy conversations at lunch. Damn the early semester.

Brandy: I have no idea if you're actually going to be reading this. But I totally love you if you continue reading this. Well I love you anyways, because our we have to outshine our boyfriend's love for each other. :)


Feels so good to know that she's all mine. Gonna love that woman til' the end of time.

"Cold, cold, cold!" I shouted, running into the warmth of the hallways, escaping the bitter cold that Scotland's late October brought.

"How are you so childish yet so attractive?" Blaise asked, with a look that was a hybrid of a sneer and confusion. Really, only Slytherins could master this look. It's was our thing. I turned back to smirk at Blaise, poking the lower part of my face out of my green and silver scarf so I could speak.

"Because I'm that damn awesome!" Draco laughed and Blaise shook his head.

"Now young lady, I believe foul language is a deduction of points." The sudden booming voice startled me and I whipped around, my eyes wide and frantic. It was the new potions teacher. Ah, what was his name? Sluggish? Slugthorn?

"Good afternoon Professor Slughorn." Draco greeted. Oh, so that's it! Look at Draco saving me, even if he doesn't quite know it.

"Ah, hello Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Zabini. However, back to business." The plump professor looked down at me, and I just sneered as I awaited the punishment. Unexpectedly, he started chuckling, turning his cheeks a rosy red and his belly bounced up and down with each breath. I exchanged looks with Blaise and Draco, who seemed just as confused as I. Finally, Slughorn spoke. "I was young like you once and I know the language just slips sometimes. I'll let you off with a warning."

"Thank you sir." I slowly said, cautious of being let off so easily.

"Now, you three should probably get to your common rooms to stay warm until dinner." The three of us took his advice and started walking towards the entrance to the common room. Draco sped up and put his arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him. I copied him, scratching his side lightly as we walked along. The walk was a bit awkward since our heights were different. Draco's hip kept knocking me over to the side, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. This imperfection made it feel so perfect.

"Well, I'm going to leave you two love birds." Blaise announced lavishly, throwing his arms out to each side. I rolled my eyes at the drama queen.

"Going to find a girl for once Blaise?" I teased, and Draco snickered, nuzzling my head.

"Multiple, actually. They all just line up for me." The smirk on his face was one that deserved to be ripped off, but I let it go. It wasn't my job to go protect girls that were stupid enough to take up relations with Blaise in the first place. Without another word Blaise wandered off, in search of his harem.

"Now that that twit is gone, what shall we do?" Draco turned to me, smirking casually, letting his thoughts slip slowly out of his mind.

"Not what you're thinking of, you perv." I tore myself away and started running down the hall, laughing all the while trying to avoid other students who seemed taken aback by the close-call-wipeouts. From the pounding footsteps falling behind me, Draco decided to play along with my game. "You're so slow." I called over my shoulder, ducking between a couple holdings hands.

"Watch your mouth Kendra!" The loud threat was hardly what it should have been, and only served to make me laugh and slow me down. As I turned the last corner I could see the opening to the common room closing. I cursed silently, urging my legs to push off the ground faster. If that opening closed I'd have to stop to try and open it, which meant that Draco would-

"Gotcha' ya!" Strong arms wrapped around my waist and lifted me from the ground, causing me to shriek in surprise.

"Draco! Put me down!" It was hard to sound threatening as I was upside down over his shoulder and laughing at the situation. He was also laughing at my feeble attempts of trying to escape. The site must have looked odd to peers passing us, but I don't think it was truly registering with either of us at the moment. The cold weather and the company seemed to make us giddy and immune to the frightening reality around us waiting to press itself dark self all over us as soon as we came down from cloud nine. Maybe that's why we were acting like children without a care in the world. Maybe if we stayed long enough we could forget the Death Eater lifestyle chosen for us.

My world shifted again as Draco hoisted me back across his shoulder and set me down in front of him, still grinning like a fool when his face came into focus. I pushed the dark, depressing thoughts into the recesses of my mind as I smiled back at my boyfriend.

Boyfriend.

What a lovely word to call Draco. Seemed childish, but it fit perfectly in the same sense. We were just children after all. Both merely sixteen, and still unsure of the world outside of Hogwarts truly described us. Everyone in the school was still a child, yet this growing war was our burden. Our adults, parents, teachers, caregivers, they started this. Now, it would be our turn to finish. To finish a project none of us really knew anything about. It just fell into our laps and involved killing another peer. A guy who has never personally done me any harm, and I would be expected to turn him over to die at the hands of who would be my boss in a couple of months.

What a twisted world for us to grow up in. Our generation is the dank one people will try to skim through in history books after we all die. A miserable existence for us in Hogwarts right now, not getting the childhood we needed. Especially Potter. Sure, we weren't in the same house, but I felt sorry for him as I did the rest of us. The world was looking up to him.

"Kendra?" Draco's concerned voice brought me out of the tangent my mind had seemed to throw up.

"Yeah, Dray?" I tried to sound chipper, even giving him a smile.

"Are you okay?" So far he wasn't buying it, but if I played my cards right I could get him to buy it.

"Yeah, between regaining my bearings and thinking about dinner I just seemed to get a little lost inside of my own head." Cue chuckle, and there, sold. Draco rolled his eyes at my food comment.

"Dinner will be ready soon enough, however I have a better idea for now." There was another devious smirk on his lips. Oh boy.

"Draco Malfoy, I said no already."

"Oh calm down Ken. I was thinking about chocolate frogs and hot chocolate to dip them in." My eyes shone at the thought of double chocolate. He could tell I was instantly in love with the idea of something warm and chocolate.

"Yes please." Both of us laughed and opened the entrance to the common room. Our laughs quickly seemed to fade as we stepped in and met an instance glare, making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

It had been about a month, yet Pansy was still being a beastly creature. Though the yelling and name calling had stopped a while back, whenever the three of us were in a room together, or if it would be just two us, she would give us the vilest stare that even harpies couldn't manage to muster up. Other than that she-witch's constant aggravated stare no one else has been giving Draco or I a problem about this relationship thing. Well, there was Nott, but he only lasted a couple of snide remarks before I put him in his place in the middle of dinner, embarrassing the lad. Then there were also whispers snaking through the hallways as we passed the many students. However, that wasn't new to anyone that had been going here since their first year. Everyone talks when a new couple gets together, especially one that is composed of two well known people.

"Come on Ken." Draco pulled me around Pansy who was hell bent on not moving her stubborn arse to prove only Merlin knows what! We walked into Draco's room that he shared with some other guys that actually happened to be in there at the time. Oh, I knew these guys.

"Hey Crabbe, Goyle." I nodded my head in their direction and they gave me a small nod back. We weren't the most affectionate friends in the world, but we would do. After giving another greeting to a boy I wasn't too familiar with, I walked over to Draco's bed and took a seat up against the headboard. Draco was bent over his trunk rummaging through it looking for the hot chocolate mix and frogs I'm sure. He could take his time though, because I had the best view in the world. The black slacks that he was wearing framed his petite butt nicely. Draco had never been a wide boy, and that had followed him into young adulthood. I knew I should look away. There were other people in the room that could catch me staring, but my mind could help but wonder what it was like to grab and to smack that arse of his.

Granted, a part of me should have already known this feeling, but another part of me wasn't too keen on getting too physical with Draco so soon, much to his frustration. This was something I just didn't want to rush. This was something I just couldn't rush. The hormones were starting to get the better of me and I was cursing myself for it. Maybe I would take it a step further tonight. Maybe…

"You ready to be amazed at this?" Draco smirked, holding two mugs and balancing a chocolate frog on the top of each mug. I had to giggle at his charm. It was so sincere and it took my breath away every time. Ah, I was already in way too deep. Okay, perhaps that would be an understatement. I had been in way too deep before we even started to date. He was my best friend and I was willing to do anything to protect him. Now though? Oh, it was much more than that. We finally had the physical connection we'd been missing for so long.

"Yes Mr. Malfoy, I am prepared to be amazed, so don't mess this up." I winked, dissolving any type of threat that the sentence was supposed to hold. I looked around and it seemed the room had cleared out, except for that one boy I didn't know. He seemed too absorbed in homework though to even pay attention to us.

"Well Miss Marx, the show shall begin." Draco opened one of the chocolate frog boxes and broke the creature in half so it couldn't escape and hide before melting in this heated castle. He then took one half and gently placed it into the mug, as not to spill the scalding liquid everywhere. I looked up at Draco who was still holding the other half of the frog, yet he seemed to forget about it. He was looking down at me, his mouth slightly open and one corner turned up in a soft smile. Those gray eyes held some sort of strong emotion. Pride, perhaps?

-Draco-

Damn, she was gorgeous. Before dinner I decided to treat Kendra to an old homemade recipe my mom used to make for me. When I was little I would always want hot chocolate during the winter, and one day my mom showed me this even better recipe. She was so alive with showmanship as she spoke excitedly, telling me all about the chocolate frog and the wizard on the card it came with. As a little boy, I ate it all up, frog and story. Then afterwards, my mother and I would slowly sip on the hot chocolate, which became more gooey thanks to the melted frog. We'd always laugh and point at when the other had a moustache made from the thick brown substance. It was our thing. However when I started going to Hogwarts we stopped doing it for I was never home. That first year I missed it a lot though, and as if my mother had read my mind she started packing or chocolate frogs and the cocoa mix all sealed up in a kit. I never said it aloud, but I truly loved it still. It was still our thing, even if we couldn't do it together.

As I started the process, Kendra scooted over to the edge of the bed to peer at what I was doing intently. She was more absorbed in the drink and treat than she was me. I broke the first chocolate frog in half, letting it soak into the hot chocolate to melt. When Kendra saw this her eyes lit up in amazement and awe. That look was created from something so simple, yet it was such a beautiful emotion to see on her face. Something started to swell and churn in my stomach. Was I nervous? I suppose not. It didn't have that same feeling to it that all the other times had. No, it was pride. I was so proud that I managed to keep this magnificent creature all to myself.

She's mine.

The thoughts made my stomach churn a little bit more, and my mouth twitched, almost turning into a full blown smile. I was way too lucky. Usually the girl is lucky to have me, but no, it was truly I who was lucky. Many guys fought for Kendra's attention, not to say I was having trouble competing with them, but still Kendra's odd when it comes to dating. It didn't matter anymore though because this girl right here. This beautiful, blonde, goofy girl was all mine.

In the distance a deep toned bell started chiming, signaling the beginning of a new hour. Dinner to be precise. I noticed Kendra's face fall slightly, and the light in her eyes started to drain. Matthew made his way out of the room, probably on his way to the Great Hall. We nodded in acknowledgement, and left it at that.

"Why don't we just have dessert before dinner?" I grinned, sitting down next to Kendra. The light flew back into her eyes.

"How devious." She sarcastically drawled.

"Well, your mother would have a fit." This elicited a giggle from her throat at the thought of her mother's face turning a deep shade of purple if she found out one of her kids was spoiling her appetite with dessert. Or was having dessert at all for Kendra's matter.

"Oh, she would just die!"

"I think you should have as much food as you want." My comment wasn't a false one, nor was it a joke. Kendra was a small around the waist, because she didn't get to eat very much at home and she was put through exercise programs, courtesy of her mother. I didn't understand it. Kendra didn't understand it either. I don't think anyone did. Kendra's laughter stopped, and she looked at me curiously, as if trying to find the punchline to a joke in my words.

"I'm glad we agree."

"I'm serious Kendra." The comment she made was very monotone, as if she didn't have the heart to be sarcastic, and she didn't have the heart to take me seriously. She was still cautious. I laid her back on the bed, propping myself up on one elbow so I was still above her. "I think you're absolutely gorgeous, and your body is perfect." That awe and amazement came back into her eyes as she stared up at me, mouth agape.

"Draco-" I silenced her with a soft kiss. One that she easily returned with fervor. The kiss was slow, comforting and so warm. Though she was essentially trapped underneath me, she pulled her arms out from her sides and wrapped one around my waist and the other draped over my shoulder, fingers moving through my hair and massaging my scalp. Without meaning to I moaned into the kiss, causing Kendra to tighten her grip around my waist. The reaction was welcomed and I completely turned over until I was fully on top of her, without ever breaking the kiss. Sensing the new aura and pace, she leaned her head up, making the kiss sloppy and heated. Something deep in my lower stomach churned and pulled and I could feel my pants getting tighter. Oh, the things this girl did to me. Kendra's hands raked through my hair and down my neck, until she couldn't reach anymore. She then moved her arms so they were under my armpits, that way she could reach all of me. Her hands trailed over the sides of my torso so achingly slow until they reached the hem of my shirt. Those long, tan fingers toyed with the fabric, before Kendra finally made her decision.

Without any hesitation I helped her rip the shirt off my body, breaking the frantic kiss we were sharing. Buttons clinked to the floor as they scattered across the room. The shirt could easily be replaced. The white undershirt was next and this one came off a bit slower than the last. The look in Kendra's eyes was intense. She seemed extremely focused. It was times like these when I wanted to read her mind so badly.

"Kendra, you okay?" My voice shook her out of her thoughts and she looked up from my chest to my eyes.

"Ye…" She cleared her throat so her voice wouldn't sound so hoarse. "Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry." She laughed nervously, and I couldn't help but smile. From what she told me about her and Nott, they had never made it very far. Gropes with the clothes still on was about as far as she would let him take it. This deep part of me was relieved about this. This meant she wasn't tainted. That was she would be all mine and only mine. Though, I'd hinted at it, I never outright told Kendra that Pansy and I had never had sex. That same deep part of me was relieved at this as well. It meant I could share something with Kendra. That this…act would be our's and our's alone.

Slowly, I took the white tee off, discarding it on the floor, staying silent and still and Kendra took in my chest.

Damn, I wish I knew what she was thinking.

-Kendra-

My heart started to race as Draco hovered above me, shirtless. Very shirtless. Extremely shirtless.

Snap out of it!

Yelling at myself to stop drooling like a schoolgirl wasn't going to help. I started to laugh at the truth in that statement.

"Ken?" Draco's eyes creased with worry. It took a couple of minutes, but I finally got the laughter to quiet down.

"I'm sorry Dray. It wasn't you." I stayed quiet for a minute or two then finally spoke what was floating around in my mind. "I'm nervous." That statement was very flat and very forward. Draco and I stared at each other for another minute or two before he responded.

"I am too." I finally looked away from him and back down to his chest. He wasn't as built as some of the guys around here, but he did have muscles.

"Wow." I stated, making Draco laughed. Somehow, I forgot that this was real, and somehow that slipped out of my mouth. Draco's laughter caused a blush to rise to my cheeks.

"Bloody hell, you're so damn adorable." He chuckled, smiling down at me. This only caused me to blush even more and I had to look away from him. I didn't know why I was blushing in the first place. I'd seen Draco shirtless a million times. We spent every summer swimming in the pond out behind my house. Seeing his alabaster chest was nothing new to me, and yet it made my stomach tingle and a blush creep up to my face.

"Now where the fuck did I leave that stupid note?" Blaise barged into the room, only stopping when he was us.

"Get the hell out!" Draco yelled, when Blaise didn't move. He still didn't move as a slow smirk crept onto his face.

"My, my, my, Kendra and Draco finally getting around to doing the deed."

"Oh, shut it Zabini!" I snarled using his last name instead. Pushing Draco off of me first, I stood up trying to show him I was still completely dressed. "Look, everything is still in place." I'm sure my green eyes were alight with a renewed anger I haven't felt in a while.

"Oh, so I just interrupted the festivities way too early on then. I should take my leave then, so you guys can get back to it." The laughter in Blaise's voice sent an angry shiver through my spine, but he decided to take his leave, before I could even take a step towards him. After he was gone I started to calm down. Breathing deeply, through my nose I turned to look at Draco. He was now standing up his undershirt bundled in his hand.

"I'm sorry Dray." I apologized weakly. He quickly made his way to me and took me in his arms.

"Don't Kendra. It's fine. I should have known better than to even try something here anyways. Listen, I'm sorry. Maybe, another time." The look in Draco's eyes was one that screamed defeated, and I felt bad. I didn't understand why because as we were lying on that bed I didn't want to take it that far anyways.

"Yeah, another time." I echoed, trying not to sound so defeated myself. It was time to change the subject though. "Hey, how about you finish showing me this neat treat of your's and then we go get the dinner?" Draco smiled at my attempt to make the mood lighter and nodded.

"I suppose dessert before dinner would only help add to our scandalous night." Both of us laughed and smiled at each other.

"Well then let's continue our scandalous journey."


REVIEWS! Please? Am I evil for not letting them have sex, or make love in this case? Probably, but it doesn't matter because I'm behind the keyboard. So there. Meh. I'm just kidding, I love you all. And I hate to be such a tease, but come on, it builds up tension. And did you really want them to have sex right then? The correct answer is no you did not. Anyways, onto the reviews from last time. Tally-ho!
