I don't own anything, wish I did. Rain, Sarah, friends and family are mine. Still kind of a work in progress.


"Sarah, get out of there!" I yelled because she was taking to long in the bathroom. I have never known her to take that long, unless she has a really good reason, like the one time she got a nose bleed and she didn't want to come out because she was embarrassed about it.

"Give me five more minutes! Please Rain I need to look good." I rolled my eyes, I still needed to take my shower, I don't know what she was doing that would take that long.

"I need to get ready! Plus you said that twenty minutes ago!" I pounded on the door. I was ready to break it down if I had to.

"I'm done, God don't have a cow." Her hair was soaking wet and looked like she tried to braid it several times with no luck.

"Took ya long enough." I said harshly. We both had a guy to get ready for, her, Harry and Draco for me. I grabbed everything I needed and started to walk into the bathroom.

"Can you braid my hair after you're done?"

"Yeah, what type?" I opened the bathroom door just enough to stick my head out. I didn't feel like yelling through the door, I've done that enough for a life time.

"I don't care."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~30 minutes later

"I can't believe that you went for that look." Sarah was shocked that I did the island look, lots of braids.

"So? I don't know what look you're going for, but I like it." we walked out of the dorm room. I was dressed in nothing new, black with silver, except that my lips and eyes had red on them.

"Well, are we going?" Harry asked taking Sarah around the waist. Some how in all the time I spent in detention my brother and best friend started dating and it still freaks me out.

"Yeah after I find Draco." I said waking toward the portal. There was a knock on it, before I opened it.

"Will someone please let me in?" exclaimed Draco on the other side. I let out a small laugh, Sarah smiled.

"I'm coming," I opened the portal for him and instead of walking in he grabbed me around the waist and picked me up, "Well this is not what I expected." I was in a bit of a shock. He put me down as he kissed me lightly.

"Tell me that we don't have to wait for you friends." I think he just wanted to be alone with me.

"No, come on if you're in that much in a hurry." I laughed, it was like he did not want anyone to spot him.

"Thanks. Now when we get there what would you like to do first?' I think he forgot that I have never been there.

"I don't know. What is the best?" I said shaking my head a little.

"Lots of things! The Three Broomsticks and the Hogshead are the pubs and there are too many shops to list." I had a feeling that he would list them all if he thought I would pay attention to it all.

"Let's just wing it." this was turning out to be the best day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~15 minutes

It just rained so it was slightly muddy, but the shops and pubs looked warm and inviting.

"It will look nicer when it snows." Draco whispered, placing his hands on my hips. It just rained so it was slightly muddy, but the shops and pubs looked warm and inviting. I looked around; I spotted a shop that would make even a nun swear.

"Let's go there." I pointed the shop out to him. From where we were standing it looked like it sold every thing for punks, rockers, and even goths.

"Why?" he was confused, 'Perfect,' all I really hoped is that they sold and pierced. He looked at me with some fear in his eyes.

"Cause I want to see if they have anything good." I grabbed his arm and dragged him toward the shop.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sarah's POV

"I think she found some thing she likes." Harry said taking my hand.

"Yeah. It's a punk shop from the looks of it." I said walking toward the Three Broomsticks. The mud sloshed under our feet as we walked. The warm of the pub welcomes us in, we found a small table with Ron and Hermione.

"So, what time do you think Rain will be here?" Ron asked taking a drink of his butterbeer.

"Are we betting on this?" Hermione asked.

"Yes. I say four." Ron looked at me.

"Two." Ron was cutting it close.

"One." so was Hermione.

"In thirty minutes." Harry finally spoke. It was clear that none of them knew Rain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Rain's POV

"Well? Draco please say something." I pleaded with him. His once blond hair was now black and red. Never tell me you want to change your look because I will hold you to it.

"It's different and did I really have to do all of this?" I got my lip, eyebrow and ears pierced, "I still don't see why, I had to." I rolled my eyes; he should have asked what he was in for before it happens.

"Hey you're the one who said that you wanted a new look. It's not like I tied you down and made you get it done." I held up my hand.

"Yeah, I didn't mean anything like this." Black with red highlights and it spikes, lip and tongue pierced, he looked a lot like a punk.

"Anything else?" the sales girl asked.

"Yeah, any black makeup?" I looked at Draco, who eyes were wide open.

"For?" He stuttered. I was not going to put make up on him, it wouldn't be right.

"For me. I need a few things in black." I picked out what I needed, lipstick, nail polish, eye shadow, eyeliner, what any girl would weir.

"Come on, let's get a butterbeer." Draco took me around the waist. We had about ten bags, full of black. I had to get Sarah this black hoodie that had a picture of Yugi from YuGiOh that said 'mmm short is sexy.' I tried to put some of them in another bag; I learned how to do that by the shopping trips my mom took me on.

"I see them. I told you on the way here that we were going to meet up with them." I said nodding over to my friends. Draco forgets like most men, but it was kind of cute.

"She is here at four o'clock. Fork it over Ron." I heard Sarah say.

"What you guys were betting on what time we would get here?" they looked at us, all kind of confused looking. I didn't think Draco looked that different.

"Yeah! Sarah won," Ron smiled, "who is that?"

"Oh, yeah, its Draco." we took a seat beside Harry and Sarah.

"Why does he look like that?" Hermione asked looking him over.

"I changed my look." he plainly stated. I think that the metal in his tongue is still strange to him.

"You'll get use to the metal in your tongue." I said taking a sip of my butterbeer. I talked to Brad about it at one time and he said it took him a good little bit, so I didn't want to get my tongue pierced after hearing that.

"Use to what?!" Sarah sputtered.

"He got his tongue pierced. I wanted too but decided not to because I remember what Brad said about it."

"Why?" Ron asked.

"Cause, Weasley, I wanted a new look." Draco growled. I didn't think he would let it stay that way for long but it was going to be nice while it lasted.

"He said he wanted to change his look, I helped him change his look." I said going to get the hoodie out of the bag.

"Rain, what are you doing?" Sarah was confused.

"Here," I tossed it to her, "Like it?" I asked as she opened it up fully.

"Oh my God! Rain h...how did you find it? Where did you find it?"

"At that shop over there." I pointed to the shop.

"Umm, guys I need to hide."I looked over to Draco, who had this horrified look on his face. I looked to where he was looking, his father just walked in the door. I would be going to hell and back if I would let him do anything to anyone I cared about 'what has gotten into me?'

"Get under the table." I shoved him under us.

"Ahh, Mr. Malfoy, good to see you." the man at the bar greeted.

"Yes yes, I have a few friendscoming tell them that I'll be right over there." he pointed to a table beside us. I let out a growl; I had to think about how to get Draco out of there so his father didn't see him. That's all I would need, to see him like I did after that nightmare of a day in Diagon Ally.

"Yes sir." Mr. Malfoy walked over toward us, then took a seat facing the other way.

"Try to sneak him out of here. I'll pay for your drinks." Harry said trying not to be heard by Draco's father.

"Okay, thanks Harry." I grabbed my bags and accidentally kicked Draco.

"Owww Rain!!" Draco cried, I tried to put my hand over his mouth. Mr. Malfoy looked for him. Sarah got up to sit down next to me.

"Draco crawl out beside Harry." Sarah whispered to him. He crawled out as his father turned around.

"Hello Mr. Malfoy." I said cause he was looking for a blond Draco.

"Hello." he drawled.

"I hope he got out okay." Ron said. I looked over to him; I don't think he has seen me with a murderous look on my face.

"Who?" he growled. If Ron said anything about Draco right now, I was going to make his life hell.

"Draco." Ron just ratted out my boyfriend. His life was going to be hell from now on.

"Where?" It was over. Draco had been beat up before but for letting me do what I did could get him killed.

"He just walked out the door, sir." Sarah spoke in a small voice.

"But don't you dare hurt him. It was my idea." I spoke in afraid yet strong voice.

"Your idea for what?" his cold voice did not held much to make me talk.

"For a new look." Draco never stepped out he was just in the shadows. Never, have I seen one man turn so fast.

"You changed his look! You made him look like a FREAK!" his father made every one shake in fear.

"Yeah so?" I was trying not to sound so afraid but I could not help it.

"Draco, go back and get all of your money back for this, you call a look."

"I can't, I didn't pay for anything, Rain did." he coldly said. I think he got use to it. I looked between Draco and his father; it was a scary staring contest.

"Still take it back." Mr. Malfoy growled.

"Only thing, the lip and tongue are nonreturnable, they stay." I smirked, yet I still felt like I was going to be sick.

"What ever you have done to my son, will be undone!"

"No, Father I like this. I stand out."Draco never saw his father raise his wand and cast the spell. It hit Draco right in the chest, sending him flying against the wall. I ran over to him, 'Oh great move Rain, you probably killed your boyfriend.'

"Now all of you out of my pub. I won't have any of this in here," the barkeeper shouted walking over to us, "Is he alright? You, Mr. Malfoy, are not allowed back in here."

"I don't know. I think he is just unconscious." I said checking if he had any head wounds. Sarah walked over to me, helping me stand up. 'I don't think I can do this, I don't know if I'll be able to be strong like I should be.'

"I'll walk you back after I find one of your teachers."

"Thanks." Sarah put her arm around me. Harry picked up Draco and Ron and Hermione grabbed the bags.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5 minutes Later

"Ah, Professor Snape, good, good. Young Mr. Malfoy was hit with a powerful curse by his father, knocked unconscious, poor lad."

"Thank you, I will take them back to the school," Snape walked off with his robes behind him, "Come on then."

"What do you think will happen? Sarah, I really need my boys, they always know what to do." Brad, Max and David were the guys I needed right now. Brad would be carrying me on his back, Max and David would be trying to get me to laugh, or even just a smile. They didn't care as long as they got kind of happiness out or me.

"I know. He will be fine, he'll wake up, you'll see. I'll write them for you, you can just rest." Sarah said, pulling me into an odd hug, just what I needed. I was about to break, I was going to start to cry and I didn't know if I would be able to stop.
