Ch 8 - The Make up (...already?! Yep...-_-)

A/N - Well...my sis's character is Melanie and she's been directing the Draco/Melanie stuff on this (and the prequel of this) and she wanted her and Draco back together -_- Oh well, I write what I'm told or else I get killed....actually I wouldn't get killed but I'd probably get hurt a bit.

ANYWAY enough of my rambling! Let's get to the story, shall we?

~*~*~

Melanie was in the bathroom, door locked, had a razor blade in her hand. She looked at it for a second then had it make contact with the underside of her wrist. Then she did it again, a little lower from the first cut.

This went on for a little bit, she now has 6 cuts, getting a little deeper as they went on. She was about to do a seventh when she heard someone say "Alohorma."(sp?–ask jess) The door unlocked and opened, to reveal, of course! Draco.

He looked at her, then to her wrist and arm "What are you doing?!"

"Leave me alone!"

"Answer me!"

"Why should I?"

"Are you trying to kill yourself?" He asked, as if the previous question was never asked and he went over to her and started to bandage the wounds.

"Get away from me, you–you–bastard!" She said, pulling her arm away from him "And NO! I wasn't gonna kill myself! I just wanted pain...other than what you have already inflicted on me!"

He grabbed her by her shoulders "You never let me explain what happened! Now your going to listen!"
He closed the door and locked it, not that it really did any good since someone could just do the unlocking charm.

"I don't have to listen to you."

"You don't want to know the truth?"

"I don't know if I've ever known the truth with you! How could I be so sure that you will be telling the truth of what happened? Or about anything for that matter?"

"Are you saying you never really trusted me?"

"I don't know if I ever truly trusted you!"

By this time, the whole Weasley family, minus Mr and Mrs Weasley, as they were still gone, Harry, and Hermione were all standing in the hallway, listening.

"Are you going to listen to my explanation or is it all going to be a waste of breath?"

"Fine. You have....exactly five minutes."

"You remember that argument we had that day?"

"Uh-huh."

"Well, I was still mad about that and I went out and got drunk. I came home with her, I don't even know who she was. And...well, I'm pretty sure you know the rest."

"Do I? Did you do anything with Miss No-name-girl?"

"No!"

"Your sure of it?"

"Yes!"

Melanie stayed silent for a little bit, then said "Could I give you some truth potion to be sure?"

"Fine."

She smiled "Let's go then."

So, upon this announcement everyone left....all at once, running into one another and causing more noise than they needed to be making.

Melanie raised an eyebrow "What the hell?"

"Open the door and I'm sure we'll see."

She did just that and did see. She saw everyone trying to move out of the way...all at once. It wasn't working very well either.

"So....I guess you all heard everything, then?"

Lori, being the closest and right at Melanie's feet, looked up and smiled guiltily "Hi..."

"Hi...did all of you hear everything?"

"Uhh...yeah..."

"Well then, Hermione, you get to help me brew the truth serum."

Hermione stood up from the mess of people and made her way to follow Melanie to her (Mel's) room.

"Alright, let's make it then."

~*~*~

The potion was finally done.

"Draco..." Melanie said in a tantalizing, but still a bit annoyed and angry voice.

"Its done?"

"Yep."

He walked over to where she was.

Melanie handed him the vile. "Drink it up."

He did just that.

"Ok! Now, tell me exactly what happened on the night of the 20th, Mr. Malfoy?"

He explained everything...just as it was before, only a bit more detail in the getting drunk part.

Melanie blinked "That's great. Mione? When will this all wear off?"

"Well...considering the amount he was given...in about three seconds."

"Really? Three....two....one...are you still under the potion?"

"Yes." he said, sarcastically.

"I think that's a no."

He rolled his eyes "No duh, Mel."

"Shut up!"

Lori, who had been sitting in the room the whole time, decided to speak up "Soo...did this repair your relationship...even just a little?"

The former couple looked at her, to each other, and back to her.

"Uhh...Mel?"

"Me? What do I have to answer her for?"

"You know her."

"So do you."

"You're her best friend."

"Your–ahh dang it! You got me!"

Draco smiled the smile that made Melanie melt. It was also one of the things that made her fall for him in the first place.

"Hello? People! My question!" Lori said.

"Right..uhh....we have yet to decide that. We'll talk about it and get back to you on it." Melanie answered her impatient friend. At this point the "former" couple went to the other side of the room.

"So? Did it?" Draco asked.

Melanie looked thoughtful for a moment "Yeah.

Thus ensued a snog fest.

"Why couldn't you have just told me rather than show? I'd rather not watch you two swallow each other's heads and shove your tongues down each other's throats." Lori said, getting up to leave, disgusted by it all.
