A/N: Hey! Chapter 2! Hope you like it! If it's a little confusing or something just review and tell me and I'll see what I can do to fix it! ^-^
It was a pretty nice day out in Hogsmeade. It was sunny but just a bit windy.
Adrianna was wearing a plain white V-neck long sleeve shirt and black jeans. Her hair was black today and in a messy bun at the back of her head. She looked around the streets as she walked with Blaise and Draco.
"We gotta go to the Three Broomsticks first and get a butterbeer." Draco said who was on her right.
She shrugged. "I guess so.. I've never heard of a butterbeer. They serve them to people our age?"
"They don't have alcohol in them if thats what your thinking." Blaise answered who was on her left.
"I just hope we don't see the dream team while we're in there." Draco said. "We might lose somebody." He looked at Adrianna.
"Don't look at me. I told you that I was going to hang with you guys today." Adrianna said as Blaise opened the door.
He made a sweeping gesture into the door. "Ladies first."
Adrianna rolled her eyes and walked in, followed by Draco and then Blaise. "It's.. Nice." She said.
"It's a whole lot better then Hog's head." Draco said, leading her to an empty table while Blaise got the drinks.
They sat across from each other. "So does Hogwarts ever have any dances? We had them all the time back in America."
"Just one. That's around Christmas time. Its formal dress too." Draco answered.
Blaise came back with the drinks and sat next to Draco. He handed them each a butterbeer. "What'd I miss?" He asked.
"Nothing.. Just talking about the Christmas dance." Adrianna said, taking a sip of the butterbeer. "This is good."
"Told ya." Blaise said.
"You didn't tell me anything. Draco just said we had to get butterbeers. You guys didn't say anything about it being good." Adrianna said, smirking.
The two boys rolled their eyes and they all laughed. They joked around more until their butterbeers were gone. When they went out the door they passed Harry, Hermione, and Ron. "Hey." Adrianna said as they passed.
"Hey." All three said together.
They went to Honey Dukes, Zonko's, and then stopped to look at the haunted shack. "Is it really haunted?" Adrianna asked.
"Sure it is." Blaise said.
"We should go in and check it out." Adrianna said.
Draco shook his head. "It's off limits."
"So? C'mon! It'd be fun!" Adrianna was yanking on his arm and jumping up and down.
"Well I'm not.. Limits or no limits, the place creeps me out." Blaise said.
"Well I guess we'll be seeing you then, Blaise because one of you are coming in with me!" Adrianna said.
"See you guys later." Blaise said and took off.
"Wait, Blaise! Come back here! Don't leave me with her and that creepy old house!" Draco yelled.
"Looks like your coming with me." Adrianna said, smirking.
"You won't be able to get in anyway. It's blocked by magic. Trust me, I've seen people try to get in." Draco said.
"You ruin everything and you shoulda said that in the first place... Well what are we going to do now?" Adrianna took her hair down.
"Wanna go back to the three broomsticks? Maybe Blaise will be there." Draco suggested.
"Sure." Adrianna said and they walked back to the Three Broomsticks and went in. They looked for Blaise but couldn't find him. "He must have went back to the castle." Adrianna said.
"Yea.. Probably taking a nap." Draco said.
They stayed there for a while longer and had a few butterbeers before finally leaving. They were walking back to the castle, talking about past relationships. "Yeah Pansy was a real bitch when I went out with her." Draco said.
"I was going to go to this dance with this guy I really liked and then this other guy I really liked asked me out and I liked him better so I said yes. Well, I ended up not going out with the first guy and I found out that my boyfriend was going to dump me the day of the dance so I dumped him right then and there." (A/N: That actually happened to me.. I was so pissed.)
"I would never do that to you." Draco said.
Adrianna raised her pierced eyebrow. "Oh you wouldn't?"
"Well no... I wouldn't if, you know.. We ever went out." Draco said, slightly blushing.
She grinned and was about to say something when Draco's lips covered hers. Before Adrianna knew it, she was responding to his kiss by kissing him back. Finally Draco pulled away. Adrianna stared blankly at him.
"Fuck." He murmured.
Adrianna forced herself to joke about it and smirked. "What? Am I that bad of a kisser?"
"No, no.. You were great a lot better than Pansy."
She shook her head. "Then what's the big deal?"
"Nothing. Well... Why are so clam about this? We're friends and we just kissed and you're acting like its not a big deal. It is though. You're supposed to slap me or confess you love for me or something."
"Would you like me to slap you? Or would you rather have me confess my undying love for you." She smirked even though she was so confused about the feelings going through her head.
"You know... Your eyes lie when you're trying to hide your feelings." He walked off leaving her standing there.
She stood there until she heard the trio behind her. "Hey Adrianna, where's the monkies?" Ron asked.
"Back at the castle. I was looking for my favorite quill and they didn't feel like helping me. I had just found it when you guys came." Adrianna lied.
"Oh. Well you can walk back with us." Harry said.
So she did. When they got back to the castle Adrianna stayed with them and they all went to study at the library for the Defense against the dark arts test with Lupin on Monday.
~~~~~~~********~~~~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~~***~~~**********~~~~~~~~~
Draco walked into his dorm to find Blaise looking through the Daily Prophet. Blaise always read that damned newspaper.
"Have fun with the ghosts?" Blaise asked, not looking up.
"What? Oh.. yeah... Right after I told her there was no way she could get in it, even with magic." Draco answered. "What's in the papers now?"
"Nothing Big. Just stuff on how you-know-you is getting stronger. Nothing I haven't read already." Blaise answered. "So did you ask her?"
"Ask her what?" Draco asked.
"You know. That thing I asked you to ask her for me?"
"Oh. That. No sorry, it slipped my mind."
"Dude!" Blaise said jumping up from the bed.
"You have two more months until the ball. You have time." Draco rolled his eyes.
~~~~~~~~~**************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We got quidditch practice. We'll see you guys later." Harry said as he and Ron got up to leave.
"Yeah.. This place is dull anyway." Ron added before they left.
Adrianna rolled her eyes. "Good.. Now I can talk to you."
"Talk to me about what?" Hermione raised her eyebrows.
"Guy trouble." Adrianna said.
"No. You? Guy trouble?" Hermione asked.
"Yes me. You see... Draco kissed me. I wasn't looking for my quill. I was standing in shock still." Adrianna said slightly blushing.
"Draco kissed you? Oh my gosh!" Hermione said, grinning.
"Yea.. You know he's hott. But then there's Blaise who is the definition of tall, dark, and handsome."
"Man.. Have you got it bad. Wanting your two best friends?" She tutted.
"Hey. I can't help if their both really cute. But the thing is... What would Blaise say if I went out with Draco? And how the hell am I supposed to act around Draco?"
"You could always avoid him... At least for a little while. Maybe by then you'll be over it." Hermione suggested.
"Maybe I'll do that.. I dunno. I'll think about it later tonight." Adrianna said as she got up to leave.
"Don't stay up too late and get some sleep." Hermione said.
"Thanks. You too." Adrianna said and left the library.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Draco and Blaise were both lying in their own beds, Draco throwing up a little golf ball and Blaise still reading the newspaper. "I kissed her." Draco finally blurted out, not being able to stand the silence. The silence seemed to be telling him that he let his friend down and he couldn't stand it anymore.
"You didn't." Blaise said sitting up.
"Look, I'm sorry! It just sorta happened... I can't explain it!" Draco said expecting Blaise to start yelling.
"I'm not really mad." He sounded more like he was trying to convince himself. "You could have told me. It's nice to know this stuff. So how was it?" Blaise said.
"It was... Interesting." Draco said with a smirk.
"That's the only word you can describe it with. Interesting." He sighed.
"The thing is I didn't even know I liked her. Not like that anyway. But then we were talking and I just sorta.. Kissed her."
"You Arsehole (A/N: haha Arsehole.. Say that three times fast :p). What happened next?"
Draco explained what she had said and what he said before he left her standing there. "And her eyes were just so big when I walked off. Like a deer in front of headlights..."
"Fucker! You just left her standing there? Nice going. I bet she's going to avoid you." Blaise said with a smirk.
"Oh shit. Well what do I do now?" Draco asked.
"Well I'll talk to her at dinner. How about I sit between you two?" Blaise asked.
"Yea.. Thanks." Draco said.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~
Adrianna went down to the great hall for dinner and saw Draco sitting next to Blaise. She blinked a few times and walked over to them and sat by Blaise. "Hi."
She glanced at him. "Hi."
"How was Hogsmeade without me?" He grinned.
"It was fine." She said.
"Yeah.. So I've heard." He said.
She raised her pierced eyebrow. "Heard about what exactly?"
"Oh you know.. The butterbeers, the Shrieking Shack, the kiss." He added with a super grin.
She threw a quick glare at Draco. He smirked. She felt her heart falter. Thoughts were going through her head at 100 miles per hour. 'What was that smirk all about?' and 'Why is my face so warm?'. Also 'Am I really blushing that badly?'
"You okay?" Blaise asked worriedly.
"I don't feel too good." With that she got up and walked out of the great hall. As soon as she got out the doors she ran. She ran up so many stairs that her legs were killing her as she got to the top. There were big windows with window sills big enough to sit on. She sat on the middle one and looked out at the sky.
Sometimes she just felt like maybe the answers will come to her if she looked hard enough. They rarely ever did though.
She stayed up there for hours until finally sneaking back into the Slytherin common room and into her Dorm. Pansy was doing Millicent's hair. "Oooh... Where've you been?" Pansy squealed.
"No where." She sat on her bed and got out a notebook. It was the one she wrote whenever she had a song stuck in her head. She started writing.
"Don't tell me no where. Now where were you? A romantic night in the Astrology tower? Hmmm?" Pansy pestered.
"Nope. I was watching the stars." Adrianna answered, writing down more.
"Watching the stars? What fun is that?" Pansy asked.
"Who said anything about fun? I needed answers so I got them." Adrianna answered.
"And the stars answered the questions?" Millicent asked, holding in her laughter.
Adrianna rolled her eyes. "No.. I found the answers. I just needed peace and quiet." She finished the last verse of the song and put it away.
"You going to sleep?" Pansy asked.
"Yup.. As soon as I change." Adrianna got up and left with her bed clothes. She changed in the bathroom into her duck pajamas (A/N: I have these Pajamas and their soooo cute ^-^) and washed off all her makeup. She exited the bathroom and dropped off her clothes from that day in the dorm room.
She grabbed her DADA book and went into the common room to study. No one was down there luckily so she sat by the fire. About a half hour later, Blaise came down wearing nothing but his pajama bottoms. He sat in the chair next to her. "How'd I know you'd be down here?" He asked.
"No idea." Adrianna answered.
"I'm good... Thats how." He said smirking.
She rolled her eyes. "You see I couldn't sleep and I knew you probably couldn't either because neither can Draco and friends tend to be awake at the same times." Blaise explained.
"And Draco's not down here because?" Adrianna asked, looking up at Blaise.
"Do you want him to be down here?" He asked. She shrugged. "Exactly." After a few minutes of silence he spoke up again. "Was he really that bad?"
"No... It's just it took me by surprise and it's really weird talking about it with a guy... Specially Draco's best friend."
"Not his most best friend. Thats both of us." He said.
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~
Draco stared up at the ceiling. 'Where the hell is Blaise?' He thought. He got up and went down to the common room. Adrianna and Blaise were chatting away about something or other.
"My dad was murdered when I was 6." Adrianna said, quietly. Almost too quiet for Draco too hear so he crept foward and hid.
"By who?" Blaise asked.
"A deatheater. That's why I wanna be an Auror." She answered.
'Holey Shit..' Draco thought.
It was quiet. All that could be heard was the crackling of the fire. And then there was a sob. Draco peaked out of his hiding spot to see Adrianna crying on Blaise's bare shoulder.
"I've never told anyone about my real dad. My mom got remarried and I just told everyone that he was my dad. But he's not the same." She was crying and the words were hardly coherent. "He never really liked me that much.. I know he.. Tried but it's really just not the same." She wasn't calming down and she was only going to get worse.
Blaise was hugging her. 'That double crosser.' Draco thought. 'Oh wait.. Guess I double crossed him first.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***************************************
Blaise was really enjoying this. Here was the girl he liked, crying into his shoulder looking so vulnerable and he was being the one comforting her. "Shh.. It's okay." He cooed.
She started up again. "And then.. And then he kissed me and I kissed him back.. And he left me there and then he smirked at me at dinner which got me confused. And now I'm in such a mess and I'm crying on your shoulder and I haven't cried in three years. And I threw that all away!" He hugged her tighter.
He liked this.. He got to play the hero and he didn't care if Draco was watching right now.. Draco double crossed him first. But of course Draco wasn't watching.
And then she was babbling on about something that he couldn't make out. "And I still wanna be his friend! I don't want to have to deal with this. With you and with him... I just want to be friends again."
"Shh.. Calm down. I'll get this sorted out for you. I promise... Now just calm down." He was starting to feel really bad. This was three years worth of crying. But then he thought of the way her skin felt.
She cried for a good five minutes before finally stopping. She was sitting on Blaise's lap, him hugging her when she got off and stood up. He stood up too. "Ready to go back upstairs?" He asked.
She nodded and he picked her up and carried her to where the girls stairway was. The whole time she was trying to get down but of course he wouldn't let her. He finally let her down and she ran up the stairs. He smiled to himself and headed towards the boys staircase.
**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**
Draco practically ran up the main staircase where Blaise walking towards the boys staircase. "Blaise, Hold on!"
Blaise turned around and the smile from his face faded. "Um.. Hey Draco."
Draco raised an annoyed eyebrow. "What was that all about? The whole crying thing?"
"Well what was I supposed to do? Say 'Get off me'? I don't think so! You would have done the same thing!" Blaise said angrily.
"Yea your right.. I would have..." Draco said guiltily.
"Yea I know.. Okay.. let's forget this and get some sleep, eh?" Blaise asked. Draco nodded.
~~~~*~********~***~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~*~*~~~~~~~~~~~*~*~********~*~*~******
As soon as Adrianna got in her dorm and hit her bed, she fell asleep.
When she woke up the next day, Pansy and Millicent were already gone. She had a monster headache. Then she remembered the night before and groaned.
She got up and got out her clothes for the day and went off and took her shower in the girls bathroom. She came out wearing a white V-cut T-shirt and a black mini skirt. She put on the usual dark makeup and changed her hair so it had silver streaks in it. She walked down to the common room and saw Draco and Blaise waiting for her like any other Sunday.
They both looked at her oddly. 'Yes I am still me whether or not I cry or get kissed by my best friend.' She thought.
"Are you guys okay? You're looking at me oddly."
"We're fine.. Right Draco?" Blaise asked, shaking it off.
"Yup.. Fine." Draco answered.
Blaise was in the middle that whole day. That whole week too. Draco and Adrianna only spoke to each other when they thought it was necessary. Obviously the Gryffindors had noticed. One potions class Ron asked quite rudely if she and her 'boyfriend' had broken up. Hermione had slapped him for that.
It had been two weeks since the kiss. It was a Wednesday and just she and Blaise were walking around, talking like they usually did. "You know.. Me and Draco used to take walks like this. I'd like to have that friendship back."
"Well I'll talk to him about it... These things take time." Blaise said.
"Oh.. I know.. It's just... I miss it." Adrianna said.
"You always have me.. You know that right?"
"Yeah I know.. But you and Draco have a huge personality difference."
"Who has a better personality?" Blaise asked.
"I like both your personalities. I need both of them."
"Yeah well I'll talk to him." Blaise said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It was dinner time and Draco and Blaise were talking. Adrianna was talking to one of the younger Slytherins.
"I messed it all up didn't I?" Draco asked Blaise throwing a quick glance at Adrianna.
"Yeah you did, but she's never once said that it was your fault." Blaise answered.
"Well should I just start talking to her again? Like I used to?"
"Yea you should. I think that's what she wants."
A/N: Sorry I have to update the first chapter now.. I want it to be in 6th year! Not 5th! It just makes it so much easier.. Soooo I'll be changing some of the first chapter.. Anyways.. What do you think? Too much drama for one chapter? Nah! You can't have too much Drama ^-^. Next Chapter: Will Draco and Adrianna make up? Or will she keep avoiding him? And what about Blaise?
It was a pretty nice day out in Hogsmeade. It was sunny but just a bit windy.
Adrianna was wearing a plain white V-neck long sleeve shirt and black jeans. Her hair was black today and in a messy bun at the back of her head. She looked around the streets as she walked with Blaise and Draco.

"I just hope we don't see the dream team while we're in there." Draco said. "We might lose somebody." He looked at Adrianna.
"Don't look at me. I told you that I was going to hang with you guys today." Adrianna said as Blaise opened the door.
He made a sweeping gesture into the door. "Ladies first."
Adrianna rolled her eyes and walked in, followed by Draco and then Blaise. "It's.. Nice." She said.
"It's a whole lot better then Hog's head." Draco said, leading her to an empty table while Blaise got the drinks.

"Oh. Well you can walk back with us." Harry said.
So she did. When they got back to the castle Adrianna stayed with them and they all went to study at the library for the Defense against the dark arts test with Lupin on Monday.

"Fucker! You just left her standing there? Nice going. I bet she's going to avoid you." Blaise said with a smirk.
"Oh shit. Well what do I do now?" Draco asked.
"Well I'll talk to her at dinner. How about I sit between you two?" Blaise asked.
"Yea.. Thanks." Draco said.

Adrianna went down to the great hall for dinner and saw Draco sitting next to Blaise. She blinked a few times and walked over to them and sat by Blaise. "Hi."
She glanced at him. "Hi."
"How was Hogsmeade without me?" He grinned.
"It was fine." She said.
"Yeah.. So I've heard." He said.
She raised her pierced eyebrow. "Heard about what exactly?"
"Oh you know.. The butterbeers, the Shrieking Shack, the kiss." He added with a super grin.
She threw a quick glare at Draco. He smirked. She felt her heart falter. Thoughts were going through her head at 100 miles per hour. 'What was that smirk all about?' and 'Why is my face so warm?'. Also 'Am I really blushing that badly?'

"Do you want him to be down here?" He asked. She shrugged. "Exactly." After a few minutes of silence he spoke up again. "Was he really that bad?"
"No... It's just it took me by surprise and it's really weird talking about it with a guy... Specially Draco's best friend."
"Not his most best friend. Thats both of us." He said.

Draco stared up at the ceiling. 'Where the hell is Blaise?' He thought. He got up and went down to the common room. Adrianna and Blaise were chatting away about something or other.
"My dad was murdered when I was 6." Adrianna said, quietly. Almost too quiet for Draco too hear so he crept foward and hid.
"By who?" Blaise asked.
"A deatheater. That's why I wanna be an Auror." She answered.
'Holey Shit..' Draco thought.
It was quiet. All that could be heard was the crackling of the fire. And then there was a sob. Draco peaked out of his hiding spot to see Adrianna crying on Blaise's bare shoulder.
"I've never told anyone about my real dad. My mom got remarried and I just told everyone that he was my dad. But he's not the same." She was crying and the words were hardly coherent. "He never really liked me that much.. I know he.. Tried but it's really just not the same." She wasn't calming down and she was only going to get worse.
Blaise was hugging her. 'That double crosser.' Draco thought. 'Oh wait.. Guess I double crossed him first.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***************************************
Blaise was really enjoying this. Here was the girl he liked, crying into his shoulder looking so vulnerable and he was being the one comforting her. "Shh.. It's okay." He cooed.
She started up again. "And then.. And then he kissed me and I kissed him back.. And he left me there and then he smirked at me at dinner which got me confused. And now I'm in such a mess and I'm crying on your shoulder and I haven't cried in three years. And I threw that all away!" He hugged her tighter.
He liked this.. He got to play the hero and he didn't care if Draco was watching right now.. Draco double crossed him first. But of course Draco wasn't watching.
And then she was babbling on about something that he couldn't make out. "And I still wanna be his friend! I don't want to have to deal with this. With you and with him... I just want to be friends again."
"Shh.. Calm down. I'll get this sorted out for you. I promise... Now just calm down." He was starting to feel really bad. This was three years worth of crying. But then he thought of the way her skin felt.
She cried for a good five minutes before finally stopping. She was sitting on Blaise's lap, him hugging her when she got off and stood up. He stood up too. "Ready to go back upstairs?" He asked.
She nodded and he picked her up and carried her to where the girls stairway was. The whole time she was trying to get down but of course he wouldn't let her. He finally let her down and she ran up the stairs. He smiled to himself and headed towards the boys staircase.

Draco practically ran up the main staircase where Blaise walking towards the boys staircase. "Blaise, Hold on!"
Blaise turned around and the smile from his face faded. "Um.. Hey Draco."
Draco raised an annoyed eyebrow. "What was that all about? The whole crying thing?"
"Well what was I supposed to do? Say 'Get off me'? I don't think so! You would have done the same thing!" Blaise said angrily.
"Yea your right.. I would have..." Draco said guiltily.
"Yea I know.. Okay.. let's forget this and get some sleep, eh?" Blaise asked. Draco nodded.

As soon as Adrianna got in her dorm and hit her bed, she fell asleep.
When she woke up the next day, Pansy and Millicent were already gone. She had a monster headache. Then she remembered the night before and groaned.
She got up and got out her clothes for the day and went off and took her shower in the girls bathroom. She came out wearing a white V-cut T-shirt and a black mini skirt. She put on the usual dark makeup and changed her hair so it had silver streaks in it. She walked down to the common room and saw Draco and Blaise waiting for her like any other Sunday.
They both looked at her oddly. 'Yes I am still me whether or not I cry or get kissed by my best friend.' She thought.
"Are you guys okay? You're looking at me oddly."
"We're fine.. Right Draco?" Blaise asked, shaking it off.
"Yup.. Fine." Draco answered.
Blaise was in the middle that whole day. That whole week too. Draco and Adrianna only spoke to each other when they thought it was necessary. Obviously the Gryffindors had noticed. One potions class Ron asked quite rudely if she and her 'boyfriend' had broken up. Hermione had slapped him for that.
It had been two weeks since the kiss. It was a Wednesday and just she and Blaise were walking around, talking like they usually did. "You know.. Me and Draco used to take walks like this. I'd like to have that friendship back."
"Well I'll talk to him about it... These things take time." Blaise said.
"Oh.. I know.. It's just... I miss it." Adrianna said.
"You always have me.. You know that right?"
"Yeah I know.. But you and Draco have a huge personality difference."
"Who has a better personality?" Blaise asked.
"I like both your personalities. I need both of them."
"Yeah well I'll talk to him." Blaise said.

It was dinner time and Draco and Blaise were talking. Adrianna was talking to one of the younger Slytherins.
"I messed it all up didn't I?" Draco asked Blaise throwing a quick glance at Adrianna.
"Yeah you did, but she's never once said that it was your fault." Blaise answered.
"Well should I just start talking to her again? Like I used to?"
"Yea you should. I think that's what she wants."
