The next day–err–night actually, Draco was at a club/bar in Muggle England. Why is Draco in the Muggle world? Because he and Melanie and gotten into an argument and they both wanted to be as far away from each other as possible. Where is Melanie? She had a double shift at work tonight and had said to go on without her.
Draco had been at the club/bar for almost two hours now and decided he should go home. He had, of course, knowing he were gonna get drunk, walked there and were walking back. However, out of the club came 2 rather than just the 1 that had gone in.
He had found Melanie...or so he thought....and they were going back.
After about two hours of circles, the two finally made it back to the Burrow. They came to an emptier house. Mr and Mrs. Weasley were to be gone for about a week and the twins were...well....no one knew where they went but wherever it was, it was not home. However, Lori, Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione were all there.
~*~*~
Melanie had come home around 3 am and the next morning, around 10:45 am, Melanie woke up to find some strange girl and Draco fallen asleep on the couch. Her eyes widened "DRACO MALFOY!" Her screaming could be heard throughout the house, if anyone would have been sober enough to not ignore it.
Draco moved and groaned "Mel?"
"YES ITS ME!"
He opened his eyes. "What is it?"
"EXPLAIN, NOW!"
"I....wait.....explain what?"
"HER!" Melanie yelled, pointing to the girl next to him.
He drowsily looked over to her but before he could say anything Melanie was saying "Draco...I think....I think we're over."
"No...Mel...please."
"No! No Draco, that's it! We're over! Done! Through!"
"Melanie, please don't..."
She walked by him and he grabbed her wrist. She turned to face him, tears in her eyes and already streaming down her face "WHAT?" She asked angrily
"Melanie...please...let me explain..."
"NO!" She tore her wrist out of his grasp and went upstairs to her room, crying all the way.
Ginny had been coming downstairs when Melanie was going up. "What's wrong?"
Melanie just shook her head and continued on her way.
Lori came down but she didn't see Melanie, for she had already made it to her room. "Hey, Gin!" Somehow...the two girls were completely fine, as though they had never gotten drunk.
"Hey." She said gloomily
Lori frowned at her youngest cousin "What's wrong?"
"I don't know...Its Melanie...she came running up the stairs crying but she didn't tell me what was wrong."
When they entered the living room, they knew exactly what it was. They saw Draco sitting on the couch, head in his hands, and the girl...whom they didn't know, still somehow asleep next to him.
The two red headed girls looked at each other.
"Never mind...I know now."
"Yeah...I figured."
~*~*~
Needless to say, the house was full of depression and glares, all thrown towards Malfoy.
Lori, Ginny, and Hermione were in Ginny's room talking, Melanie was still crying in her own room.
"I can't believe he would do such a thing!" Hermione said.
"I know! I thought he was better than that!" Ginny agreed.
Lori stayed silent.
"What do you think, Lori?" Ginny asked her cousin.
"I don't know...Its hard to know what to think. I sort of expected it but then at the same time I thought that maybe, just maybe she had changed him...in some way...Guess I was wrong."
The three girls sat in silence for awhile and then Lori said "Well....I'm going to go check on her."
She got up and went down the hall to Melanie's room. She knocked on the oak door. "Mel? Its me, can I come in?"
"Mmmhmm.." Came the muffled reply of the 17, almost 18 year old girl.
Lori came in and closed the door behind her. "So...what's up?"
Melanie looked up, her face tear-stained and said "I hate him!" Then she added "I hate him! I hate him! I hate him!"
"Yeah...I probably would too but...Mel, you know, you really should understand that he was–"
"NO! I don't care!"
"Mel, you should at least let him explain what happened."
"I don't know what the truth is. I don't know if I've ever known the truth with him! How could I be so sure that he would tell the truth of what happened? Or about anything for that matter?"
"Mel! Calm down! Breathe in, breathe out. Take one thing at a time. First, let him explain what happened."
"NO!"
Lori sighed "Mel–"
"NO!"
"Fine."
"Leave!"
"Fine." With that, Lori left her friend to cry into her blue cased pillow.
~*~*~
Meanwhile....Draco was in another guest room of the house. He was banging his head against the wall when he heard a knock on the door. "What?"
"Its me." Came Lori's voice.
"Yeah...come in...I guess."
Lori opened the door and peeked in "Is it safe?"
"I'm not sure how safe it is but, come on."
She came in and closed the door "You know, if you keep doing that, you'll get brain damage."
He stopped for a second to look at her "That's what I'm hoping for."
"Say what?"
"I don't want to remember any of this."
"So you want permanent brain damage instead? I see.."
He looked at her for another moment then went back to hitting his head on the wall.
Lori walked over to him and pulled him away from the wall "Seriously! STOP!"
"Leave me alone."
She sighed and as she left said, "Did that suddenly become everyone's favorite line for me?"
