After breakfast Serenity explained to Draco that she was going to spend some time with Devian this afternoon, and that she would see him later. It seemed as though she had changed her mind because not long after she left, she reappeared, walking straight toward him with an intent look on his face. "So, did you change your mind?" ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________ She nodded and bent down to whisper something in his ear. Then they both got up and left together. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ "So what did you want to show me?" he asked as he closed the door behind him. ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________ Serenity had led him to the dorm room she shared with Devian. She looked up at him with a devilish grin. "What do you think I want to show you? Go on, use your vivid imagination." ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ His eyes widened with dawning comprehension. "This is certainly a side of you I've never seen before," he said, sounding to her a little suspicious. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ A slight look of anxiety flashed across her face that Draco missed. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ "But hell, who am I to complain?" he finished, advancing on her. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________ A sigh of relief escaped her lips, but Draco was too busy undressing her to notice. She dragged him over to the bed and started to do the same to him. He sat up suddenly, looking around the room. "Umm...Serenity?" ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ "Yeah?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Don't you think Devian will be kind of pissed if we shag on her bed?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Well the snobby little tart will just have to get over it, won't she?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "What did you just say?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Err...we should move over to my bed." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Draco shrugged off the strange feeling he was getting. It was not uncommon for Devian and Serenity to call each other names, but they never really meant it, even when they were fighting. ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________ A short while later Draco and Serenity were laying together when they heard voices and footsteps coming up the stairs. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________ "Oh great, it sounds like Devian decided to come up to the room. But who's that she's talking to?" Draco asked,as they both scrambled to get their clothes on. ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________ His question was soon answered as the door swung open and Devian and Serenity came strolling in. A deadly silence fell over the room as everyone stared in open-mouthed confusion at the girl next to Draco. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________ "Who the hell are you?" Serenity was the first to speak. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________ "I'm your twin...surprise!" the girl added as an afterthought. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________ Serenity thought a moment before responding. "I find that hard to believe. One pair of twins around here is normal. Two is a little wierd, although it can happen. But three? That's next to impossible, so I will ask you one more time...who the hell are you?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________ Instead of answering, the girl looked down at her body, which to everyone's amazement, was changing. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________ "Oh, it looks like my hour is up," Pansy said with a sneer. ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________ "You bitch!" Serenity screamed before jumping on her. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________ Devian and Draco could only stare on in shock as Serenity beat the living crap out of Pansy. Finally, Serenity began to tire, tears of rage blinding her vision. She slowed enough for Draco to grab her by the waist and pull her back. Pansy, who had come off worse in the fight, was obviously not finished as she tried to lunge at Serenity. But before she could do anymore damage, Devian grabbed her by the hair and threw her face down on the floor, pinning her arms behind her. ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________ "No, I think you've done enough already," she growled, digging her knee into Pansy's back. ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________ They decided they would take the two girls to the hospital wing, but had some trouble geting out of the common room. Draco still had to hold Serenity back, and although Pansy was no longer putting up a fight, Devian still found it necessary to drag her by her hair.The first few steps out of the portrait hole brought an almost immediate confrontation with Professor McGonagall. She remained speechless for a while, trying to take in the scene before her. "I don't really know where to start here. First of all, Mr. Malfoy, you seem to be coming out of the wrong house. Would you happen to be lost by any chance? I would also like to know why you are dragging a kicking and screaming Miss Star?," without hesitating, she turned to Devian, "And Miss Green...it appears that you are dragging...actually, who are you dragging? And why are you dragging her by the hair for that matter?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________ Draco spoke first, "Okay, is there any particular order you want those questions answered in? You might have to repeat some of them as well, there were quite a few." ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________ Before Draco could manage to infuriate Professor McGonagall any further, Devian intervened. "The person I would be dragging is Pansy. From what we can tell, she took Polyjuice potion to look like Serenity and then slept with her boyfriend. That obviously made Serenity mad, and as you can tell from Pansy's now unrecognizable face, there was a fight...and a rather one sided fight if you ask me." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________ "Why didn't either of you try to stop the fight?" the professor asked sternly, looking at Devian and Draco. ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________ "Trust me, you wouldn't have tried to get in the middle of that either," Draco said knowingly. ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________ "That still leaves the question as to why Miss Parkinson needs to be dragged by the hair?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________ Devian shrugged, " There's really no good excuse I can come up with at the moment, I'm just getting enjoyment out of it." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________ McGonagall looked at her strangely before responding "It is obvious that Miss Parkinson needs to go to the hospital wing, Miss Star, do you need to go as well?" ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________ "Not really, no...there is a little bruising on my knuckles, but that's about the extent of it." ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________ "Professor?" Devian interrupted. ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________ "Yes?" ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ "Can I take Pansy to the hospital wing?" She asked innocently. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Pansy started whimpering. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________ "No, I don't really think she needs any more damage done to her. I will escort her to the hospital wing, meanwhile, you three will wait for me in my office. Is that clear?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________ "Yes ma'am!" Draco said, not able to resist the urge to salute her as well. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________ She gave him a stern look and left, half carrying Pansy.
____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________ Professor McGonagall returned to her office, looking extremely exhausted. "First I think we should go over points. Miss Star, for viciously atacking another student, I will take fifty points. Miss Green, for dragging a student by the hair...without a justifiable reason, and failing to stop the fight, I will take 20 points. Mr...," ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________ "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________ "Miss Green, is there a problem?" McGonagall asked, startled. ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________ "Oh no, I just always wanted to do that and it seemed like an appropriate time. Please, go on," Devian urged. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________ "Okay... Mr. Malfoy...lets see where should I start...For being in the wrong common room, failing to stop the fight, and being an insufferable smartass, I will take 20 points." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________ "Is she allowed to say that?" Devian whispered to Serenity before the professor went on. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________ "And once Miss Parkinson regains her hearing and is able to comprehend the words coming out of my mouth, I will take one hundred points for stealing ingredients to make an illegal potion, making the illegal potion, fighting...I think,and manipulating other students. You will all have a detention as well. I will make the arrangements and get back to you in a week. You may leave now...and Mr Malfoy, please do not get lost, I don't want to find you in somebody else's common room again." ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________ As they left the office, Devian looked at Draco and Serenity "Okay...I think I'll go... talk to the house elves now." ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________ "Okay," Serenity said, looking down. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________ "But...first I wanna do this again: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" And with that Devian ran away, her arms flailing. ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________ They stared after her. "She's just been getting wierder and wierder lately," Serenity commented. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ "Yeah, I think her dimwitted boyfriend is finally starting to have an effect on her," Draco laughed. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________ From somewhere down the hallway they heard Devian yell "He's not dimwitted!" ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________ After a pause, Draco started, shaking his head, "Anyway,I think we need to talk." ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ "Yeah I guess that's what we should do," She said, sounding depressed. ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________ He motioned for her to follow him and soon they found themselves walking around the lake. "I'm really sorry for what you must be going through right now," he began, "I should have realized it wasn't you..." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "No, don't apologize, you didn't do anything wrong." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________ "Yes, I did. I knew something was different, I should have stopped, but I didn't." ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________ "Everything is done and overwith, it doesn't matter anymore." ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ "Trust me, it does. Look, I feel horrible about all this, but I'll find a way to make it up to you." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "You don't have to do that." ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ "I want to, because you're really special to me. I don't think I've ever cared about anyone like this before. I don't really have any experience with expressing my emotions...I don't know either of my parents all that much,and, well, you've seen the types of friends I have, no close relationships there. That's why up until now I've found it hard to say these words, because I've never had any use for them before..." ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________ "What words?" ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ "I love you...and trust me, I don't say that lightly." ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ The urgency in his words brought tears to her eyes. Every boy she had ever dated had said that to her at one point or another, and all she could ever do was shrug or roll her eyes, because she knew they didn't mean it. But this was different. He had that look in his eyes, that cliche' look that could be found in cheesy romance movies right before the man swept the woman off her feet. All that's missing now is a white horse to carry us off into the sunset, she thought, smiling. Suddenly, he took her in his arms, and kissed her,first on the forehead, then on the cheek, then finally, on the lips. It was the most gentle kiss she had ever experienced in her life, making her heart melt and her knees weak. Slowly she pulled back, looking deep into his eyes. "Draco?" ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ "Yes?" He asked dreamily. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "I love you, too." ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ "She really beat her up that bad?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________ "Yeah, you should've seen it, she couldn't even stand up straight by herself, McGonagall had to carry her to the hospital wing," Devian said, recounting the 'Pansy incident' for Fred and Ron, who had seen them all on their first trip out of the common room and had become very curious. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________ They had cornered her as soon as she came in. Now she was finished telling the story and looked out the window, spotting Draco and Serenity down by the lake. "Aww...look at that, they're kissing...that's so sweet! Ah, young love, isn't it beautiful?" She sighed. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Of course, love is always beautiful," Fred replied, pulling her down to sit with him and kissing her. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________ She eagerly kissed him back, and soon they both forgot about their surroundings. "Ahem," Ron cleared his throat, bringing them back to reality. "Look,I understand that you two are madly in love, and that if you ever grow up you'll get married and have like ten kids, but do you have to constantly snog in front of people?" He asked, sounding a bit annoyed. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________ "I understand that you're jealous Ron, but really, ten kids? Sorry,but we'd probably have enough trouble with just one little hellion running around the house," Devian commented, trying not to smirk. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ "I am not jealous!" he stated indignantly. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________ "Oh my God, Noooo! More dark magic! Quick Ron, save us!" Fred suddenly yelled. ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________ "What? Where?" Ron asked, jumping out of his seat. But after noticing the snickering and giggling coming from Fred and Devian, he quickly sat down again, looking embarassed. "That's not funny! I already told you, I was really really tired last night." ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________ His excuses went unheard above the peals of laughter. He gave up and stormed off toward the dormitories,looking back several times to shoot them a mutinous glare. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________ "You're so mean, I think you really hurt his feelings," Devian said, after they had both calmed down a bit. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ "Hey, you laughed, I'm sure that didn't help either," Fred replied defensively. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ "I only laughed because you're my boyfriend, and I feel obligated to pretend your jokes are humorous." ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________ "Really?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________ "No! That was funny as hell...but it was still mean." ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________ "Ah, he'll get over it. Besides, he deserved it. I mean come on, can you imagine us never growing up?" Fred asked, grinning. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________ "I think we'll make very mature adults...and great parents, as long as we don't have ten kids. I think we'll be okay." ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________ "I think three would be enough, preferrably two girls and a boy." ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ "And their names will be Alden, Emma, and Ayla." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________ "And we'll live in a nice house near the ocean, and...woah, when did this conversation turn into our ten year plan?" Fred asked looking a bit disturbed. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Devian laughed at him. "You should have seen your face, you got so freaked out! I swear, why are guys so afraid of commitment? I think it's okay to plan for the future, I mean,we'll be graduating this year, and then we'll be moved out into the real world, so we probably need to figure it out soon anyway." ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________ Before Fred could respond, the portrait hole opened, and Serenity and Draco came strolling in, hand in hand. Devian ran over and gave them each a hug. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________ "What was that for?" Draco asked, looking confused. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________ "I'm just so happy that that bitch didn't ruin your relationship," Devian exclaimed. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________ Serenity smiled. "Me too...you wanna know the ironic part? This whole experience actually brought us closer together." ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________ A devious smile came across Devian's face. "I think you should send her a thank you card." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________ "I can just picture it. 'Dear Pansy, we would like to display our sincerest gratitude on your efforts to make our lives a living hell'...Weasley, what's wrong with you? You look like someone just punched you in the stomach." ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________ Fred looked up as he heard Draco speak his name. "Since when am I of any concern to you, Malfoy? Anyway, nothing's wrong with me, I just need to go... lie down for a bit." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________ "Are you sick? Maybe you should go to the nurse." Devian said looking concerned. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________ "No, no I'm fine, I just need a nap, the quidditch practice really tired me out." ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ And with that Fred turned and left the room. Devian stared after him with a worried look on her face. She thought about following him, but decided against it, because he looked like he just needed to be alone.______________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ _______END OF CHAPTER!!!!! And don't worry, I'm not going to harm Fred in any way, I love him too much *cheesy smile* Anyways, please please please leave reviews!

She looked up at him with a devilish grin. "What do you think I want to show you? Go on, use your vivid imagination." ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ His eyes widened with dawning comprehension. "This is certainly a side of you I've never seen before," he said, sounding to her a little suspicious. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ A slight look of anxiety flashed across her face that Draco missed. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ "But hell, who am I to complain?" he finished, advancing on her. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________ A sigh of relief escaped her lips, but Draco was too busy undressing her to notice. She dragged him over to the bed and started to do the same to him. He sat up suddenly, looking around the room. "Umm...Serenity?" ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ "Yeah?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Don't you think Devian will be kind of pissed if we shag on her bed?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Well the snobby little tart will just have to get over it, won't she?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "What did you just say?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Err...we should move over to my bed." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Draco shrugged off the strange feeling he was getting.

That's next to impossible, so I will ask you one more time...who the hell are you?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________ Instead of answering, the girl looked down at her body, which to everyone's amazement, was changing. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________ "Oh, it looks like my hour is up," Pansy said with a sneer. ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________ "You bitch!"

Fred asked, grinning. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________ "I think we'll make very mature adults...and great parents, as long as we don't have ten kids. I think we'll be okay." ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________ "I think three would be enough, preferrably two girls and a boy." ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ "And their names will be Alden, Emma, and Ayla." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________ "And we'll live in a nice house near the ocean, and...woah, when did this conversation turn into our ten year plan?" Fred asked looking a bit disturbed. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Devian laughed at him. "You should have seen your face, you got so freaked out! I swear, why are guys so afraid of commitment? I think it's okay to plan for the future, I mean,we'll be graduating this year, and then we'll be moved out into the real world, so we probably need to figure it out soon anyway." ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________ Before Fred could respond, the portrait hole opened, and Serenity and Draco came strolling in, hand in hand. Devian ran over and gave them each a hug. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________ "What was that for?" Draco asked, looking confused. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________ "I'm just so happy that that bitch didn't ruin your relationship," Devian exclaimed. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________ Serenity smiled. "Me too...you wanna know the ironic part? This whole experience actually brought us closer together." ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________ A devious smile came across Devian's face. "I think you should send her a thank you card." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________ "I can just picture it. 'Dear Pansy, we would like to display our sincerest gratitude on your efforts to make our lives a living hell'...Weasley, what's wrong with you? You look like someone just punched you in the stomach." ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________ Fred looked up as he heard Draco speak his name. "Since when am I of any concern to you, Malfoy? Anyway, nothing's wrong with me, I just need to go... lie down for a bit." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________ "Are you sick? Maybe you should go to the nurse." Devian said looking concerned. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________ "No, no I'm fine, I just need a nap, the quidditch practice really tired me out." ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ And with that Fred turned and left the room. Devian stared after him with a worried look on her face. She thought about following him, but decided against it, because he looked like he just needed to be alone.______________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ _______END OF CHAPTER!!!!!
