-Ileana's POV-
The quidditch game was all right. Slytherin was leading at first, but then Harry caught the snitch and since they were 10 points up, won.
You saw Draco on his broom, muttering and giving people glares if they dared to look up at him. You waited outside the changing rooms for him. He was one of the last to come out.
"Hey, good game, D." You told him, flashing your I'm-the-best-girlfriend-you-ever-had-because-I-care smile. You had suddenly called him D. You thought it made him seem so American gangster-ish.
He must have thought the same because he smirked, but covered it up.
"It would have been better if Potter hadn't started pushing and shoving. Oh! And not to mention, muttering comments about my family." He was pretty angry. "Seriously. It's not like he has one himself, so how would he know?"
You couldn't stand him making comments like that about your friends. No matter how much he hated them.
"That was way out of line, Draco." He looked away. "It's just a game. We have next year and I'm sure you'll win next time."
"But we lost the Cup again this year. Ever since Potter showed up, we've been losing it!"
"Oh, come on. It's not the end of the world."
"And how would you know of we'll win next year?"
"Because I have the greatest quidditch player/boyfriend in the world."
That seemed to cheer him up.
"Come on." You piped up. "I think we should go do something today."
He looked quizzically at you. "Like what?"
"Oh…I don't know…I'm feeling very trouble-maker-ish right now. Let's go to Hogsmeade!"
"And how, may I ask, are we going to do that?"
"I think I know just the way." You said, giving him your evil smile.
"Hey Fred! Hey George! I've come to ask a favor." You trilled, as you found them near the entrance to the Great Hall.
"What is it?" George asked you. He was still a gentleman and knew how to make you blush just by looking at you.
"Can you show me how to get to Hogsmeade?"
"I see someone's a bit daring today." Fred looked over at Draco. Draco gave him a nod and turned the other way. Fred seemed shocked.
He leaned down to whisper to you. "Wow. Real shocker. He isn't even making fun of us today. Real nice fellow. Kidding. But he's actually not that bad."
George leaned from your other side. "He hasn't done anything bad to you, has he?" He looked concerned, but you just shook your head. He glanced over and saw that Draco was just minding his business. "You know, Ileana? You've really changed him. It's kind of weird, seeing a lovey dovey Malfoy and a nice Draco."
That was true and you could live with it.
"So how 'bout it? You helping me?"
"Not only are we helping, we're coming with!" After Draco turned around and gave them a glare, George said, "But we won't be staying with you! We're just getting our shop cleaned up!" To which Draco looked pleased and turned around again. George winked at you, and you giggled.
-Draco's POV-
You decided to let Ileana go about her business. The Weasleys weren't all that bad. They were purebloods, which helped you to respect them, no matter how little you did. A thought occurred to you.
Tomorrow was Ileana's birthday! Maybe that's why she wanted to go to Hogsmeade.
"Not only are we helping, we're coming with!" You turned around and glared at them. You wanted privacy with Ileana and you didn't want them to be there the whole entire time.
Then Fred, or was it George, said "But we won't be staying with you! We're just getting our shop cleaned up!"
That's better. I want my quality time with Ileana. You looked pleased and turned back around.
But not before you got an idea. She would definitely love a party! The thing was, most of her friends were in Gryffindor, with the exception of Christina, and such. That would be a hard task to just find them, let alone actually talk to them. But you decided you would do it, for Ileana.
After a few more minutes, she came to stand by your side.
"Okay. We'll go in a few. We're waiting for Fred and George. They told us to wait here."
"Right." Silence, comforting silence, fell between you two and you started to make plans about the party in your mind. You could hear her fidgeting next to you. When Fred and George came back, she looked very nonplussed about something.
You put your hand around her waist, hoping she would smile. She gave you a small smile, but looked forward again.
Okay. What did I do now?
You leaned down to whisper to her, "So, your birthday's tomorrow."
"Yeah it is."
"Tell anyone yet?"
"Nope, only you." That made something in your stomach do a flip.
"Romantic evening for two?" You asked in a husky voice.
She looked at you and a terrible smirk came on, "Oh, you know it." You couldn't help, but smirk back.
Fred and George seemed to have stopped walking in front of you.
"Why are we stopping?" You asked.
"It seems we have a slight situation." One of the twins replied.
"And what would that be?"
"Snape's on the loose and looks like he keeps pacing back and forth in front of the entrance to the passage."
That was not good. This was a good chance for you to get something for Ileana. You were thinking of a bracelet. You gave her a necklace, which she was not wearing!, so you opted for something different this time.
"Then we offer a distraction!" Ileana piped up.
"Of course! You are more becoming everyday!" One of them said, sarcastically.
You wanted to ask which was which twin, but you didn't want to sound rude.
Oh, who am I kidding? I'm Draco Malfoy. I haven't done been living up to my rep for so long.
"So, which one is Fred and which one is George?" Ileana giggled.
"The taller one is Fred. The cuter one is George."
Did she just say cute?! Hello?! Right here?!
"Got it." You growled out.
"But you know you're the one that I want. The hot, cute, adorable, sexy one."
Of course I am.
"All right. Sorry to break you two lovebirds, but I found the perfect idea. We'll have to move fast." George said.
"So, what are we doing?" You and Ileana both asked at the same time.
Fred raised an eyebrow, while you two smiled at each other. "Wow. You two were made for each other, I swear."
"Fred. Just tell us what your ingenious plan is." Ileana said.
"Uh…Right!" Fred yelled out. "PEEVES!"
