Recap: "Well let's see how you react when someone pulls you into a cupboard and starts trying to make-out with you!" she said, planting one arm on her hip. "Well let's see," he said, smiling wolfishly and trying to pull her back into the cupboard. She slapped him on the face and said, "What are you nuts? God!" and stalked off down the corridor.
~~~~~ Chapter five - Sickly-Sweet ~~~~~
It was later that day, and Draco was strutting through the halls, sneer well in place, encircled by his cronies Crabbe and Goyle. As they turned the corner, they saw the two "love-birds", ron and cho, making out in the very same utility cupboard he had pulled Ethany into that morning. He smiled at the memory, but was brought back to reality by a shrill voice piercing his ears. " Draco, how are you! Can I walk with you?" she shrilled, and without waiting for an answer which would most certainly be no, she continued " did you hear about the Christmas ball you're taking me to? Can you believe they're making it all muggle? Isn't that absolutely horrid?" she shrieked, nearly piercing his eardrum. " I don't remember ever agreeing to go with YOU", he drawled out, emphasising the last word. Actually he hadn't even known there was a dance on. He wished he could take Ethany, but of course it would be too conspicuous for her to be going with him. Plus, his father would be sure to find out about it, and demand why he took a Raven-Claw girl, specially one with no influence or power over others. If it was up to his father he would be dating some pure-blood Slytherin girl with money and power and influence and NO personality, which was about the complete opposite to Ethany, who was only half-blood, a ravenclaw and an orphan with little money. His father would go absolutely mental! He smiled as he thought of her, jade eyes flashing, soft brown hair going over her shoulders. It's a pity she ties it back he thought to himself, staring out at the same lake. "Don't you think so draco?" Pansy's shrieking voice pulled him out of his reverie. Having no idea what she was on about, he calmly said, "oh er. yes Pansy.. I've got to ummmmm go now.. I'll see you round.." And rushed off. He went back up to his room, and sat out on the balcony, staring out at the lake. He had no idea that just a floor below him, Ethany was doing the very same thing.

Ethany had just climbed out of the cupboard, and was that minute hurtling down the corridor. She came up to the statue of Helga the Horrendous. " Medisio" she muttered at the wizened old hump-backed witch. It obediently obeyed, splitting apart to reveal a small room, containing only an open fireplace, and and a deep gren leather armchair. She sat down and stared out at the lake, deep in thought. "I can't believe that ass-hole did that!" she muttered to herself, standing up and pacing the small room. He IS cute though her mind added in. "No!" she said out loud, surprising herself. " I will NOT fall in love with Draco Malfoy! He'll turn me in to Voldemort!" she shivered at the thought of the evil sorcerers name. Even after his defeat, people still feared his name. He won't turn you in! He loves you as well! You can be with him in secret! Her heart pleaded, trying to win her mind over. She felt this little squiggle deep in the pit of her stomach at just the thought of him. Swept back, silver-blonde hair, silver eyes .... the same colour as her blood. That thought pulled her back to reality with a jolt. She could never be with him. Even if it was in secret, someone would find out. Her heart quailed at the thought that she could never be with him. She looked down and suddenly noticed little dops of water on her robes. She felt up to her face and felt the damp of tears on her face. She hadn't even noticed she was crying. With bleary eyes she looked out to the happy children playing in the lake. "I'm just a child too" she whispered to herself, " I shouldn't have all this responsibility". She sighed, and continued to stare out the window till it was dark. She looked up to the clock on the mantelpiece and what it said pulled her back to reality. " oh shit!" she shouted, the clock said it was 11:30 and she was going to be late for astronomy. She rushed over to grab her cloak, and in doing so, stubbed her toe on the chair. " aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!! Ok Ethany calm down, rushing won't get you anywhere" she said to herself out loud, taking a few calming breaths. Oh screw it, she thought, I'm going to be late, and presumed rushing. She got there 10 minutes late, but unlike anyone else who came in late, she did not get told off. Strangely, no one even looked up to see who it was who came in. Suddenly she felt someones gaze on her from across the room. She turned her head to look, and immediately turned it back, because Draco was the one looking at her. Draco crept up behind her and grabbed her arm. Her skin was ice-cold, and she shrugged his arm off. " Ethany" he whispered in her ear, but she just moved away. He got the message and didn't follow her. Ok so she's a little angry with me, I can deal with that, he thought, it can't last for long
