Astoria and Draco didn't spend an insisent amount of time together after the holiday. Not like she had expected anything like that. Her feelings were a tad bit hurt though. He had been so distracted at the New Years party when she had tried and seduce him.

Astoria had been putting a lot of thought into the subject of sex a lot as of late. She wished to try it. The obvious person to accomplish this with was Draco after knew he was not a virgin. Not like that bothered did a little but only because she did not like to not know what was going on.

Astoria did not like being out of the loop. It was a month into new terms. January had given way to February,which was cold and frosty. Things had taken a turn at Hogwarts. Dumbeldore's Army was in full swing. Ready to speak out at any moment it seemed. There vandalisim had reached a new high.

All of a sudden kids were being broken out of detention. It was not hard to guess who was doing it. Astoria had seen six different people under the cruciatus course. She had done some growing up over her fifth year. Her sister was four months with child,and no one was the wiser. Her and Theodore were the only ones who knew.

Astoria constantly worried for her sister throughout the day. Like right now for instance. Astoria was sitting up in bed trying to think of anything but the horrors of the outside world. Dementors floating around and the cruciatus and death,her mother finding out her sister was pregnant,dying or-

Shaking her head and flinging the covers off Astoria tip toed out of the fifth year dormitory and into the common room. She was about to sit down,or try and read when suddenly she noticed a taller blonde figure that she knew to be Draco waking into the seventh year boys dormitory.

"Draco-" Astoria stage whispered,she did not want to be alone. The only place Astoria liked being alone was the garden at home. Not in the dark with the water making odd shapes over the dungeon walls. It was freezing in the dungeon and Astoria felt an outbreak of goose pimples break over her skin in the darkness.

He turned,looking sleep rumpled,his hair standing on end and his gray eyes looking murky with sleep. "Stori?" he asked his voice deeper with sleep as he inspected the girl who hurried over. "-I can't sleep-" She began feeling terrbily vunerable and stupid as she admitted this.

"Cmere-" Draco muttered sleep evident in his voice. She followed him,curious what Draco's solution was to her insomnia. He walked over to his bed in the far corner patting the other side groggily. "Are you sure-" She began as he shushed her before falling into his pillows and flicking the curtains of his bed closed with his wand.

Astoria sat there for a stunned was a turn of events. She felt safer with the curtains surrounding them and feeling Draco's warmness against her side. He made a slight noise in his sleep."-Stori,come lay down" he whispered groggily as she complied.

Her mind was far from fear and sleeplessness now. She slid into the bed besides Draco,he was warm and tugged the duvet over her shoulders tenderly , "Goodnight-" He mumbled tiredly as Astoria nodded as she moved closer against Draco who in turn wrapped his arm around her middle pulling her to him.

His chest made a nice decided smiling to herslf. She hadn't felt safer since the night in the dark. Here,with Draco pressed against her making slight sleep noises. She cuddled her face into his neck breathing him in and enjoying his arm around her.

His hand was tangled in her nightgown and her leg was thrown over his hip as she drifted to sleep.

Astoria woke up with a start and in a slight panic when she didn't recognize the bed she was in and-Oh...she had slept with Draco. Turning over she heard Draco make a slight noise before throwing an arm around her waist and pulling her to him,before he rested his face against her side. Astoria looked down letting herself smile slightly. He looked younger in his allowed her fingers to run thru his hair as she glanced from the ceiling of the bed to the curtains.

Trying to formulate a plan,to explain why she was there. "Hello-" Draco greeted sitting up and stretching. He was wearing only shorts and she grinned slightly at this before realizing she was in his shirt she raised an eyebrow in this in question as he smirked.

"Your nightgown was rather...distracting last night." he allowed before gesturing to his shirt which she had on. "Well,have a good saturday." Astoria shrugged still grinning a bit as she slid out of the bed. Not before Draco grabbed her by the bac of his shirt.

"Where are you going with that?" He asked as she smirked slightly. "Oh,this is mine now-" She explained giggling slightly as she slipped out of the room,racing for her dorm before anyone caught site of her.
