Thinking Of You

When Danyelle awakened she first saw a bouquet of beautiful flowers sitting on her nightstand then she noticed Draco sitting at the end of her bed, staring at her intently.

"Hi, sleepy head", Draco sayed when he noticed Danyelle was awake.

She sat up and looked at Draco warily, he didn't seem mad any more but he didn't seem his usualy cheerful self. She got up from her bed and grabbed the card that was attached to the flowers, she slit open the envelope, took out the card and read silently to herself. It sayed;

Dear Danyelle,

I am very sorry to have been such an ass to you earlier this morning, and I would like to except these flowers as my token of freindship. I am sorry I was so unsupportive of your new relantionship and I will try to except it. I just don't want to see you hurt and if Terry hurts you I will hurt Terry.

From You Friend and Feind,

Draco

She finished reading and threw the letter down on her dresser. She turned and pounced on Drco wrapping him in a big hug. As soon as she had touched him his arms started to tingle and he felt like he was on fire. He had never felt this way before. She must have felt it to because she let go of him and gave him a puzzled look.

She shrugged it off and said, " Thank you so much Draco, this brightened my day. I'm sorry too, I kinda shoved it in your face that I was going out with Terry."

She sat back down on her bed and for the first time noticed that she was still in her pajamas . She got up and started rumaging through her trunk for what she was going to wear.

She grabbed some blue jeans that tied up the sides and a pink shirt that was from a figure skating competion she had been in a few years ago. She also grabbed her pullover sweatshirt, because it was quite nippy. It was Febraury 5, and in eight days she would turn sixteen. She couldn't wait until she got back to the states and got her drivers liscence.

"Draco can you go out while I change really quick", she asked. He nodded and swiftly walked to the door he looked at her one last time before he shut the door behind him. She changed quickly and looked at her self in the mirror she looked okay although she need to brush her hair. She found her brush after much searching and brushed her hair quickly.

She ran out of the fifth year girls dorm and down the stairs to the common room, but since she was in such a hurry she wasn't paying attention to where she was going, she tripped on the bottom step and landed on her face on the cold stone floor.



Hearing the commotion Draco had come running, he had been just in time to see her land on the floor. She rolled over onto her back and she opened her mouth her eyes wide, and for a second Draco thought she was going to cry but instead a peal of laughter erupted from her. She rolled on the floor for awhile howling with laughter. She just couldn't stop laughing especially after Draco had asked if she was okay.

He just gave her a weird look like she was insane and helped her up of the cold floor. She giggled twice more then stopped.

"So what time is it I wasn't really paying attention, she asked Draco.

"It's five o'colck and in an hour it will be dinner time", he answered boredly.

"Good, I am starving, so what have you been doing while I was asleep", she asked.

"Well I just woke up about an hour ago I was finishing my essay on the Bogie of St. Larens Cathederal," he sayed in the same bored tone.

"Draco whats really up , you don't sound very happy", she asked with a worried look on her face.

I am just thinking about how the girl I want is going out with Terry fucking Boot Draco thought bitterly. But instead of that he sayed,

"I was just thinking about the Easter Holidays and how I don't really want to go home to the Manor."

"Oh," Danyelle sayed her mouth making a perfect O," Well I have to ask my mother and father but I think you could stay with me for Easter holidays, we live on a farm. My father raises winged horses and my mother is an author. I think you would like it," Danyelle sayed happily remembering her home.

"That sounds great," Draco said perking up at the chance to spend some more time with Danyelle.

"I will owl them tomorow", she said and pausing for effect ," Because I am getting a a Thestral for my birthday".

"Really," Draco asked intersted now," But how do you know I thought birthday presents where supposed to be a secret."

"Well, my father let me help pick her out and her name is going to be Goodnight Glitters, Thestrals have the best gaits out of all winged horses", Danyelle sayed knowingly, then she thought of something, "Draco you haven't ever riden a horse, have you"?

"Well not if you don't count the little pony I used to ride at my uncles", he sauid sheepishly.

"Well if you can come to my house I'll teach you how to ride one, it will be so fun", she said smiling.

Her good mood was contagous and he soon himself grinning back at her. They sat and talked Quidditch stratigey's until it was time to go down for dinner.

Danyelle practicly flew down to the Great Hall, with Draco trailing after her. She was in high spirits and it showed. When she got to the great oak doors of the Great Hall she slowed her pace to a walk and calmly opened the door and waited for Draco to enter.

She walked to the Slytherin table and sat down beside Blaise Zambini and Draco and began piling her plate full of food. As she ate she she kept glancing at the Ravenclaw table looking for Terry but for some reason or another he wasn't there.

She hurriedly stuffed her mouth full of food and zoomed off to the library, to finish some school work that wasn't due until next week. As she sat at a table in the back of the library she breathed in the musty smell of old books and dust. She was waiting for Hermione as they always studied together.

She was finishing her essay on the Doxy, when Hermione arrived, huffing at having ran the whole way there.

"Sorry..I'm...Late...." she managed to say while hoisting her heavy book bag onto the table.

Hermione sat down and imedaitly got to work on her essay on the twenty uses of dragon scales. They worked silently for what seemed like hours until Hermoine broke the silence.

"So I heard that you are going out with Terry Boot", Hermoine said.

"Yeah, he asked me out yesterday before the party", Danyelle said her face broke into a big grin as she remembered Terry.

"You know me and Ron have been going out for a month now", Hermoine sayed matter of factly.

"Really, I didn't even know you two where going out", Danyelle sayed happily.

"Yes, well we thought we wouldn't tell anyone until we tell Harry", She sayed guiltily.

"You mean you haven't told Harry yet", Said a shocked Danyelle.

"Well no", Hermione sayed shifting uncomfortabley in her chair.

"Well you should soon, cause it will probably make him mad to have not been told about it", Danyelle sayed knowingly.

"You know, I think your right I am going to go find Ron and we are going to tell Harry tonight," sayed Hermione hurriedly stuffing her things back into her bag.

She slung her bag over her shoulder and ran to the door. She got there just as Terry was opening the door , he held the door open for her and gave her a bewildered look as she dashed out of the library and down the hall.

He spied Danyelle sitting in the back of the library and sauntered over to her table.

"Hi hottie, he said sexily, "Where was Hermoine going in such a hurry".

"Oh, she was just going to go tell Harry that her and Ron are going out", she said without looking up from her work."So why weren't you at dinner" she asked .

"Oh, I got into alittle spot of trouble" he said nonchalantly.

"What did you do", Danyelle said looking up for the first time and seeing Terry with a bunch of little scratches on his hands and a guilty exspression on his face.

"Well, I got into a fight with that Hufflepuff Ian McCloud and I got caught by Professor Snape and since Snape doesn't much like me, since I sent off a dungbomb in his office, I have a weeks worth of detentions.", He grinned sheepishly and finnished with,"But don't worry I beat him soundly".

"You beat up Ian Mcloud, How could you", Danyelle sputtered," Ian the one thats kind of over weight, that has all the braces and that wouldn't hurt a fly McCloud", she finished shrilly.

Terry cowered as her rage broke over him.

"I can't believe you, Ian is the most sweet caring person that ever lived and I am glad that Snape gave you a weeks detention, you deserve a months but none of us are so lucky," she yelled shrilly.

Madame Pince had come over to see what all the noise was about and noticed Danyelle standing over a cowering Terry. She could almost see an aura of anger around Danyelle she excuded anger and power. Yes, she could feel emense waves of power radiating off of Danyelle.

Danyelle had started to kick and hit Terry in her rage and Madame Pince hurried over and pulled Danyelle off of Terry. Terry now had a fat lip and a black eye, as Madame Pince escorted Danyelle and Terry to Dumbldores office Terry told Danyelle in not very kind words that they were over.

When they got to Dumbldores office Madame Pince made Terry wait outside as she went in with Danyelle and told Dumbldore what had happened. Danyelle was sobbing and shaking she had never lost control of her temper like that and it scared her.

As she sat down in a comfy chair across from Dumbldore he told Madame Pince to go and wait out in the hall with Terry. Then he just sat and stared hard at Danyelle until she finally stopped shaking, she was still crying silently, but that didn't bother Dumbldore.

Finally she broke the silence with, "Sir am I in trouble, because I should be I can't believe I did that, I was just out of control",

"Stop", he interupted kindly, "I do know what happened and yes Miss Taylor, you will have to serve a detention but what I really want to ask is why did you do it, becasue as you and I both know sweet girls do not all of a sudden go insane on their boy friends because they beat up soemone nice".

"We...we....well", she stuttered trying to find the right words,"I just don't know I just felt al this anger and it felt good becasue I had power, power over someone that was stronger than I and it felt amazing but it also felt awful becasue I was hurting someone I really care about", she struggled trying to explain the weird high feeling she had felt.

"I understand completely Miss Taylor , but please promise me this, that it will never happen again" he said with gentleness.

"I can not promise such a thing like that, Sir , but I will try, and after a long pause she asked what she ahd been dieing to know since this conversation had started,"Umm, Sir what will my detention be".

"Oh, it will be simple you will have to help Professor Sprout feed and water her plants", he said simply.

"Thats all", she asked unbelieving.

"Yes that is all, Now Miss Taylor I must speak to Mr. Boot, so why don't you go back to your dorm." Dumbldore said.

"Okay and thank you very much sir" she smiled at him through her tears and walked out the door.

As she walked by Terry and Madame Pince Terry gave her a very dirty look which looked even worse with his lip all puffed up and his eye swollen shut, she didn't mind the dirty looks she would probably do the same thing if she was him.

Well that has to be the shortest time I have ever gone out with someone, she thought to herself.

When she got back to the Slytherin commons she imeddaitly went looking for Draco, he wasn't in the common room so he must be in his dorm, she thought. She went up to the fifth year boys dorm rooms door and knocked, the door swung open instantly and Blaise Zambini's head poked out.

When he saw Danyelle's tear stained face he opened the door wider and ushered her in. Draco was sitting on his bed reading the Daily Prophet he look up when Blaise anounced that he had a visiter. When he saw the state that Danyelle was in he rushed over.

"What happened" he asked worriedly, "Did Terry do something to you" his tone now iced with anger.He put his arm around her and he guided her over to his bed.

"Well kind of", she sniffed and then broke into new sobs," I... I was at the library studying and then Terry came in and told me he had beat up Ian McCloud and he was so happy about it, it just made me sick so I started yelling at him about how could he hurt someone so nice and loving

and then all of a sudden Terry was on the floor and I was kicking and hitting him, it was horible I tottaly lost control and it really scared me, so then Madame Pince pulled me off of Terry and I had to go to Dumbldore's office, but all I got was a detention with Professor Sprout where I have to help her feed and water her plants." she finished sobbing harder into Draco's shoulder.

Draco knew he wasn't supposed to be enjoying this but he loved the feeling of just holding her. He hushed her and just sat there stroking her hair until she calmed down.

Through it all Blaise had been there sitting on his own bed throwing jealous glares at Draco. Finally he could stand it no more and he got up and left through the door.

When Danyelle had stopped crying she laid back on Draco's bed and told Draco that there was no need for him to beat up Terry cause she had already done it. She also told Draco that Terry had dumped her and that she didn't blame him at all. Draco laughed when she described in detail what Terry had looked like after she was done with him.

Draco lay down beside Danyelle and held her again, this was working out great for him because he had gotten to hold her three times in only one day.

"Draco I'm glad your my friend," she murmered before she snuggled into him and fell asleep. All the stress must have gotten to her, Draco thought.

And with that as his last thought he also fell asleep.
