After seeing Fluffy and after a long boring Holiday, Marie was sitting in
the Slytherin common room watching Logan try to wrestle Torch. Draco came
downstairs with his usual group, Crabbe and Goyle.
Draco- Marie! Come down to breakfast with us.
Marie- No thanks, I think I'm just gonna stay here until Transfiguration.
Draco shrugged. Then noticed the picture Marie had in her hand. It was the same one she got on Christmas.
Draco- Crabbe, Goyle, go on I'll meet you there.
Crabbe and Goyle left. Draco went next to Marie and sat down.
Draco- I think something's wrong.
Marie- No, I'm fine, really. There's no need to worry 'bout me.
A tear went down Marie's cheek slowly.
Draco- Marie if something's wrong-
Marie wrapped her arms around Draco and started crying as hard as she could. Draco didn't say a word, he just rubbed her back, trying to calm her down.
Draco- Shhh... it's ok.
Marie's tears slowed down. With her arms still around Draco, Marie pulled back slightly and looked Draco in the eyes. He wiped the tears of her cheeks. Marie closed her eyes as he did so. Then it happened. She started kissing him. This is what he wanted, wasn't it? 'No,' Draco thought, 'this is what I want but not with her like this.'
Draco- No, Marie you're upset. How about I take you to your room and you lay down. I'll tell Professor McGonagall your-
Marie- No. Draco I'm sorry I just...
She looked at him.
Marie- You're thinking I was crying about Logan right?
Draco- Well, yeah-
Marie- You were wrong, sort of. I was thinking about how much I like you, more then a friend, but I didn't want to do anything about it because of what happened with Logan. I don't want to lose someone I love again.
Draco- Marie, you won't ever lose me. You can take as long as you want on deciding though. I'll be there waiting.
Marie smiled, sniffled a little, then got up and held out her hand.
Marie- Let's get some food.
Draco smiled and took her hand. When they got to The Great Hall, hand-in- hand, people were starring. Harry noticed and felt a little mad, but he didn't really know why. Had he liked Marie without knowing it? He always thought of her as just a friend, but seeing her with Draco...
Hermione- Are you ok Harry? ... Harry?
Harry was starring at Marie and Draco, giving rude looks, while they sat at the Slytherin Table.
Ron- Harry!
Harry- WHAT?!
Harry yelled quite loudly. The Ravenclaw and Slytherin tables stared, as well as other Gryffindors. Marie looked at Harry and mouthed 'what's wrong?' but he just looked away.
Harry- Sorry Ron.
Ron- It's all right, what's buggin' ya?
Harry- Nothing...
Hermione- I think I know what it is.
Hermione looked over at Marie and Draco, who were holding hands still.
Harry- Hermione don't-
Hermione- I won't say anything Harry, just don't start any fights.
Harry- All right.
After breakfast Marie had Transfiguration with Gryffindors. Draco had Astronomy though. He gave Marie a hug and they both went in different directions. In Transfiguration, like usual, Slytherins sat on one side of the room, and Gryffindors were on the opposite side. There was an empty seat next to Pansy Parkinson, who hated Marie, because she was best friend, and now girlfriend, with Draco Malfoy. There was also an empty seat next to Harry. Marie sat next to Harry, even though there were stares from both houses.
Marie- Hey Harry! How ya doing?
Harry turned around.
Marie- Ron?
Ron- Oh, hey Marie.
Marie- Hey, do you know what's wrong with Harry?
Ron- Uh... not sure ask 'Mione.
Marie- Thanks.
Marie thought the day was horrible, except when she was with Draco. Harry wouldn't talk to her, and she didn't know why. A couple weeks later, Marie had homework in all of her classes except Potions, because she finished it in class. Marie was sitting next to Hermione at the library working on a report about werewolves for Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Marie- Geez, this is crazy! How does he expect us to write 3 feet of parchment by tomorrow!
Hermione- Well, I'm already done.
Marie- That's impossible!! God, I hate you...
They both giggled. Draco came up from behind them.
Draco- Hey, what are you two working on?
Hermione and Marie both screamed. Marie hit Draco on the arm. Draco smirked.
Marie- Geez! Warn me next time!
Hermione laughed hysterically along with Draco.
Marie- Oh ha ha ha...
Draco- Sorry. Anyway, it's time for dinner. Can I escort you two lovely ladies to The Great Hall?
Hermione got confused.
Hermione- Excuse me, but what happened to the horrible Draco Malfoy I use to know?
Draco- He took a vacation.
Hermione- I see...
They all laughed. Draco grabbed both girls arms and headed toward The Great Hall. Ron and Harry saw all three walk in. Now, as furious as Harry was before, things just got worse. Ron looked quite upset as well.
Ron- Who does he think he is? He's with 'Mione also!
Harry- I know, that stupid git...
Harry started cursing under his breath as Draco took Hermione to her seat.
Hermione- Thank you, I'll see you two after dinner.
Draco, Marie- Bye.
Draco and Marie walked to the Slytherin table hand-in-hand. Before dinner started, Albus Dumbledore stood up and tapped his goblet with his knife.
Dumbledore- Attention students,
Everyone fell silent.
Dumbledore- According to the Professors, 5th through 7th years have been doing very well so far. Because of this I have decided to have those students to have a week of, shall we say, fun.
5th, 6th, and 7th years cheered.
Dumbledore- This Monday shall start it off. It will end the following Sunday. Further information shall arrive by owl post soon. Now, let's all eat!
The food appeared. After 10 minutes owls came soaring in dropping letters. At the Slytherin table Marie was opening her letter for the "fun week". It read:
Rules: 1. Students are not allowed in their house towers to sleep or for any other reason.
2. Students are not allowed to sleep outside.
3. If something is needed from your tower you may ask a teacher to get it.
4. Students are allowed anywhere in the building (please refer to Rule 1.)
5. Have Fun!
The week will be as followed.
Monday-Wednesday: Free days; students may roam free on Hogwarts property, no one is allowed at Hogsmade.
Thursday-Friday: Hunt; students will be in a group (2-5 students) and will have a list of objects to find. They may ask teachers, although some might say no. Things shall be hidden inside the building only, with the exception for house towers.
Saturday-Sunday: from the time you wish to get up until 7PM: free time; 7:30PM-1AM there is a dance, dress as you wish.
After Marie finished reading and eating she was still sitting at the Slytherin Table, talking to Draco while he finished eating. 'Tonight,' Marie thought to herself, 'I'm going to the Astronomy Tower and relaxing for a change.'
Draco- Hey today's Quidditch try outs. Are you going? I'm the Captain and the Seeker this year.
Marie- I don't know. I don't fly too good, but I'll try I guess. Maybe I'll try for Beater, so you don't get hurt.
Draco smirked.
Draco- Marie! Come down to breakfast with us.
Marie- No thanks, I think I'm just gonna stay here until Transfiguration.
Draco shrugged. Then noticed the picture Marie had in her hand. It was the same one she got on Christmas.
