"Draco Malfoy! Shut the eff up!"

He gasped dramatically. Pretending to write on a piece of paper, he said, Name…Ileana Lasko…Reason for punishment…swearing at young, pretty, hot, sexy boy Draco Malfoy…punishment…"

Just then an owl flew over the top of your heads and landed on the floor. It was looking up at you and sticking out its leg which had a letter attached to it. You reached down to untie it and it flew off to the Owlery before it left for home again.

You noticed that the handwriting looked remarkably like your mother's. You couldn't take chances and you definitely didn't want Malfoy to know where they were hiding because…well, you know.

So, you ran off to the dorm before Malfoy could get a chance to tell you off or whatever he was about to do.

You were out of breath by the time you sat on your bed. You couldn't wait any longer though and unrolled the parchment.

Dearest Ileana,

I hope you are well. I've been worried sick about you. I know you're all right if you send me an owl within five days' time. I'm sorry I didn't write you sooner. But we needed time to settle in. Your dad's got a job now. Andrew is going to muggle school. I'm sure it will be a nice change for him. I stay home and guard the house, but I'm pretty sure we're safe here. How's school? Teachers are nice? Friends? Tell me all about. Remember five days' time. If you don't, I'm going to go get you. We'll see each other soon!

Love from,

Mum, Dad, and Andrew

Knowing your brother, he probably put up a fight about going to muggle school. You couldn't help, but laugh. Your mum said five days' time, but you knew that she would probably be waiting for the reply by tomorrow. So, you decided to put her out of her misery.

*BANG*

The door swung open and hit the wall. It was Pansy. Speaking of Pansy, you hadn't seen her since a few days after Christmas.

"What are you looking at, Lasko?" She rasped.

"I was just wondering why they let a pig reenter the school."

"Fuck off." And she went back to unpacking the trunk she had brought in. You hadn't noticed it at first because she was so big. She had blocked the whole trunk from view.

You took a quill and parchment and decided to go outside.

Sitting under Your Tree, you started writing a reply.

Dear Mum, Dad, and Andrew,

I'm doing really well. It's pretty fun here. I've made loads of friends. The teachers are very nice. There was the Yule Ball yesterday. It was totally awesome! I can't believe you are sending Andrew to muggle school! He put up a fight didn't he? It's his last year too! You should have mercy on him or something. I wish I was with you guys. I miss you all so much. I'll go visit you, I promise!

Love,

Ileana

P.S. I'll ask Dumbledore to get me there or something. He seems like he could make anything happen.

You rolled the parchment up and trudged back inside. You went to the Owlery to find Shadows.

You had just coaxed her down when someone came barging in. Seriously.

"Oh great. We've got Lasko in here." Malfoy sneered.

He seemed to do a lot of that these days.

But who cares? No one. Oh, except for his girlfriend, Sienna.

You finished tying the letter to Shadows and had sent him off. You had ignored Malfoy for the whole time. It must have been a new record.

You almost made it out the door before Malfoy caught your wrist.

"Miss me?" He said, yearning in his voice.

YES!- what? NO! NO NO!

"Yeahno." You said really quickly, "I mean no. I don't miss you, you fag." You summoned all the hate you could.

You tore your hand away from him and ran down to where there was peace and quiet.

-Draco's POV-

She had run off to who knows where. After she had read the letter, she had smiled, then turned pale. It must be from her parents.

You walked down to the Slytherin rooms, until you saw Pansy coming out of the door.

You didn't want her to come bombard you with questions and everything. Yeah, you had a few Pansy-free weeks and it was really nice. You wished you could get rid of Sienna too, but she was harder to get rid of.

You decided to go see your owl at the Owlery and write a letter to your mother demanding why she hadn't sent you treats since Christmas yet.

You barged in, seriously, you had pushed as hard as you could. You walked in and saw Ileana turn around to glare at whoever had disturbed her peace.

You couldn't help it, you were Draco Malfoy.

"Oh great. We've got Lasko in here." You drawled on. She ignored you.

You so wanted her to jump into your arms, but you knew that would be impossible. You even wanted her to scream at you or yell at you or something. That at least would show that she had noticed you at all.

You tied your letter and finished at about the same time as Ileana did. She briskly walked toward the door.

You couldn't stand it. "Miss me?" You asked her, hoping, yearning that she would say yes.

She seemed to be wrapped in her thoughts, but he stammered out, "Yeahno. I mean no. I don't miss you, you fag." She seemed to put all her hate towards you in those few sentences. She tore her hand away and stomped off.
