Draco woke up a little earlier than usual the next morning. Rolling over
under the green and silver covers, he yawned, and sat up a little, sitting
up, he pulled back the green curtains around his bed, only to find Karien
already up on the bed beside his, and dressed. Karien looked over as Draco
pulled back the curtains. "Good morning!" he said cheerfully.
Draco grinned. "'morning." He flopped back onto his pillow for a moment, staring up at the canopy of the bed. What was this strange feeling he was had? Maybe he was getting sick?.. He glanced over at Karien. The caramel- skinned boy was in a loose, gauzy dark blue shirt and black pants, gazing at the window over his shoulder with those blue eyes. 'Boy, is Karien a good looking gu-what?' Draco's face twisted a bit in his confusion.
"Something wrong?" Karien asked, leaning over Draco a bit, looking concerned.
"Nah, I'm okay.." Draco decided, and sat up, leaning over the end of the bed and pulling out a dark green button-up shirt. He pulled it on, then his black pants and put on shoes. "I suppose we should be heading to Hogsmeade, no?" Karien nodded. [Author's note real quick: Sorry if they don't go right after they wake up in the books - I don't remember exactly when they leave and how, so I'm just skipping that part, because I don't want to go look back at the books right now.. .:lazy:.]
Standing up, Draco walked with Karien upstairs and out of the castle.

Karien looked around Hogsmeade, an odd expression on his face. After a few minutes, he looked over to Draco. "Is this . it? Right small, isn't it?"
Draco shrugged. "Yes. I don't believe it's even as big as my house." He said with a tone of realization and a blink. Suddenly, something came to Karien's mind as he looked in one of the small shop's windows.
"Is this school sophisticated enough to have House Quidditch Teams?" he said.
This caught Draco's interest, and he grinned. "Of course! Are you a fan?"
"Definitely... I was on the team at my old school, in fact." Karien smiled smugly. Draco knew he was trying to be impressive, and he reacted accordingly.
"What position did you play, Karien?"
"Keeper. No one could get past me." Karien replied. "Are you on the Slytherin team?"
"As a matter of fact, I am... I'm the seeker."
Karien looked over Draco. "Yes, that's what I guessed. You look the part. Lively, quick and cunning." he added softly.
Draco blinked a little at the expression on Karien's face, but shook it off. "Why don't you try out for the Slytherin team?"
"I might.." Karien said, and thought, 'I just might.' He paused again, and looked over at his blonde friend again. "Is there anything to do in this place?"
"No, not really.."
"Well, how about going somewhere more lively, hm?" Karien suggested.
"Like wh-- . Have you been to Diagon Alley?" Draco inquired. He figured Karien had, for school supplies, but it was worth a check.
"No.. is it better there?" Karien blinked, sliding his slender hands with their unearthly, glassy nails into his pockets and gazing at Draco with interest.
"Definitely, definitely better." Draco beamed. "Come on, I'll take you! We'll take the secret passage behind the joke shop!" He said, and grabbed Karien's wrist, pulling it out of his pocket as he walked swiftly towards Zonko's.
Karien smiled to himself as he was pulled along. "Hope we get into trouble together again."
Draco grinned. "'morning." He flopped back onto his pillow for a moment, staring up at the canopy of the bed. What was this strange feeling he was had? Maybe he was getting sick?..
