Title: New Beginnings: The Seventh Year

Chapter 8: Another Normal School Day

Harry was woken up by a buzzing sound. He sleepily reached his hand towards his pillow to grasp his wand, muttering 'silencio' as the buzzing stopped. He sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes, pushing his bed curtains aside and snatching his glasses up from the bedside drawers. Putting on his glasses, he looked around the room noticing from the snores around him that all his roommates were still asleep. Till a buzzing from Draco's bed and a whispered 'silencio' indicated that Draco had also chosen to get up at that ungodly hour. Harry hurried to wash up as he only had fifteen minutes before meeting Sirius for his run, he gathered his clothing and went towards the bathroom, seeing out of the corner of his eyes that Dean's bed was empty.

In the bathroom, he brushed his teeth and washed his face with cold water so as to wake himself up. He wouldn't want to trip over his own feet when running just because he was too sleepy. Suddenly a pair of arms encircled his waist from behind and a hoarse 'Good morning' was spoken to the back of his neck. Harry grinned, recognizing who it was and said a 'Good morning' to Draco who he saw from the mirror was snuggling into his back like a cat.

"Dray, my run, remember?" Harry patted one of the hands still wrapped around his waist. He needed to hurry in his changing of clothes if he was going to be on time. Draco whimpered, finally loosening his arms and took over Harry's position as Harry made his way to one of the cubicles to change. He was brushing his teeth when he suddenly recalled what Harry called him a minute ago. He rinsed his mouth just as Harry came out of the cubicle.

"Harry, what did you call me just now?" He looked at Harry using the mirror.

"Dray. I decided last night that 'Draco' is too formal. It is less formal to moan out 'Dray' when we are making love. Isn't it?" Harry grinned, when Draco lifted his eyebrow.

"Harry, are you trying to get me worked up here?" Draco smirked at Harry.

Harry stood behind Draco, looked at Draco in the mirror as he slowly bent to drop a kiss at the back of his neck. "Hmm… is it working? Anyway, see you later." He said, slipping out of the restroom. Draco shook his head as he chuckled, making his way to the shower cubicles, to take a cold shower.

Harry collected his wand from his bed and went into the Study area. Stopping at the panel, he stared at the movement chart that Hermione had put up on the wall beside the panel the first night they had moved in. Her reasoning was that it would be known to all where everyone was if they ever needed to know where to find someone. She also taped a copy of everyone's class schedules on the panel. All everyone needed to do before exiting was to run their thumb over a box at the top of the movement chart, thinking about what they were going to be doing, and the chart was enchanted to recognize their thumbprint, recording the activity and the time. Harry ran his thumb lightly over the chart, seeing the word 'run' magically appearing in the column labeled under his name, with the time stating 6.28am. Seeing the time, Harry realized that he had two minutes to reach downstairs. He pressed a button indicating that he wanted to open the panel, waved at Marcus who was barely awake, and raced down to the Gryffindor common room. He then opened the portrait and saw Sirius sitting outside, wagging his tail in greeting. He motioned Sirius to follow him and man and dog made their way to the Quidditch pitch.

"Sirius, any idea what I'm going to do with my wand? I don't have any place to tuck it in." Harry said to the dog. The dog seemed to look around and then transformed back to his human form in mid-stride.

"I can look after it for you. I'll be sitting in the stands. Just leave it there and I'll guard it." Sirius said before changing back to the black dog.

At the stands, with the dog guarding his wand, he started warming up. However, he thought that since Sirius was there, and even though he couldn't communicate as a dog, then Harry could just talk and ramble.

"Guess what happened last night. You know Dean and Seamus? Seamus was in love with Dean for ages, but Dean finally noticed recently. Yesterday Seamus was talking about fooling around again, and the next moment, Dean's face went pale and everyone in the room was frowning at Dean. He then called Seamus over and put a silencing spell around their bed. This morning when I woke up, Dean wasn't in his bed. Guess that couple is finally getting settled." Harry looked up at Sirius and saw the dog looking like he was grinning. Harry debated telling Sirius about Draco and him. He then decided that his godfather already missed so many events in his life, he would be the first to know about Draco. "Oh, and Sirius. I lost my first kiss last night." He grinned when he saw the ears of the black dog suddenly perked up and its eyes grew big. The next moment, Sirius was back in his human form, settling down comfortably, grinning.

"Now, this I got to hear. Last night. You left us to go to your room with Draco. I assumed something happened?" Sirius commented, laughing when Harry blushed.

Harry nodded. "We started out planning our so called next step regarding Voldie. Then… I blurted out that I like him. Both of us agreed to take things slowly. We don't want to rush. And… well… we kissed. And it was perfect." Harry was relieved that Sirius didn't seem to disapprove of the relationship.

"Hmm… Good that you two are no longer quarrelling. During the summer when I was tagging around him, he was quite nice to me, totally different from Lucius. He told me a bit about his childhood, and I have to admit, it was ugly. He said that his father kicked him out of his house, telling him to go find Snape because besides Snape, Draco had no one left. Lucius was going to disown him but Voldie struck. If he had that kind of family background, he still managed to differentiate right and wrong, then he can't be that bad huh?" Sirius smiled encouragingly at Harry, before popping back into his animagus form. Harry nodded and started his run, leaving Sirius who laid his head down on his front paws.  He was glad that Harry had chosen him to be the first person to tell.

Harry soon finished his run and rushed up with Sirius to take a quick shower. Going into the bathroom, he realized that Dean and Seamus were sharing a shower cubicle, due to the groans and moans he heard. He quickly cast a silencing spell on that cubicle, showered, and before he left the bathroom, he discreetly removed the silencing spell. He breathed in relief when he removed it that the groans and moans had stopped.

Using a drying spell on his hair, he went back to his bed to comb his hair and to put on his robe. Then he rushed out to the Study area, passing Dean and Seamus who just came out from the bathrooms.

"Morning, all." He greeted everyone as he looked at his schedule to pack his bag. "Double DADA… free period… lunch… advanced charms…" he muttered as he placed the books he needed into his bag.

"Had a good run?" Draco leant his back against his own table, which happened to be beside Harry's table.

Harry flicked a glance up at Draco's grey eyes, grinned and nodded. "Just now I was showering, it was really noisy, Seam… remember… silencing charm next time." Seamus and Dean just walked into the Study area and heard Harry's comment. Both of them blushed as everyone laughed at their expense.

"You, my dear, is just jealous. Wait till you get someone of your own." Seamus said playfully as he also started tidying his bag. He never caught the grin Harry threw at Draco and the wink Draco gave to Harry.

"I was thinking about something. You guys told me that Day is a fifth year. And her O.W.L.s are lovely. Something is not right. People only take their O.W.L.s at the END of fifth year." Draco asked.

Hermione smiled. "Normal people only take them at the end of fifth year. But remember that last year was the first year in which they implemented Mock O.W.L.s for the fourth years. Fourth Years who would like to try the fifth year exams together with the fifth years in order to gauge their own standards are allowed to take the exams. Day took it for fun. They were so surprised that Day could do so well that they asked Day whether she wanted to leave the results of the Mock as that of the real thing."

"And Day, being Day, not wanting to prepare for the exams one more time, of course agreed. So while the fifth year people are cramming for their exams next May, she'll be happy as a lark, doing nothing." Harry finished.

Draco's eyebrows went up. "This is even more impressive than before. And it's quite hard for someone to impress ME."

The whole group made their way out, all of them stopping to run their thumbs on the movement chart. The panel then closed behind them, with the movement chart showing 'breakfast and class' under everyone's columns.

***

            All the Gryffindors and Ravenclaws settled into their DADA class with excitement. Past experience told them that Professor Lupin's class was always interesting. Professor Lupin strode in from his breakfast and stood in front of everyone.

            "Lovely breakfast, wasn't it?" He commented, patting his stomach. Everyone smiled, while Hermione frowned. "Hmm… Seventh year Gryffindors and Ravenclaws. I took you lot a few years back right? As I start out for every year, I need to warn you that as a professor here, I'm not here to dictate. I know things that you don't know, due to my experiences, but you may know things I don't know, because no professors know everything. Facing a seventh year class means that I have this year as a last chance to educate you in terms of certain things that you may face when step out of Hogwarts. And looking at the curriculum that you had handled in the past six years, especially due to the constant changing of professors, you are not THAT prepared for the outside world. Some of you may make use of DADA in your future careers, as Aurors, or even part of the Ministry. For people who don't intend to use this aspect of magic, it will be useful to at least know how to handle the magical dark creatures out there, for your safety. However, in view of the fact that Voldemort had returned, I think that the only thing anyone needs to do is to think of one thing. The choice. Don't think just because you are still a student, you can push the choice of joining what we call the Dark or the Light till your graduation. As young Mr Malfoy had shown us over the summer that the Dark had started to recruit. Likely from people around you. People who is of the same age as you. People who could even be sleeping in the same dorm room as you. So one thing you need to decide is that would you want to follow the Dark or the Light? And if you want to follow the Light, what can you do to ensure your own safety above all else? Throughout the year, you will realize that DADA is no longer just learning about magical creatures or the unforgivable curses. The professors will be trying to link all seven years of your education in all classes. We may have what we call as joint classes, where you may incorporate your Charms or even Transfiguration education into your DADA classes or assignments. We will be having many discussions to train you to be able to think for yourself. Understand?" He looked around and caught some of the students nodding.

            "Okay. Defense against Dark Arts. I think you all went through quite a bit of Dart Arts stuff. We are going to have a short discussion. You have a point, you speak up. So, what defines Dark Arts?"

            "Intention to harm" Hermione answered.

            "Intention to control" Terry then answered.

            "Power" Draco finally muttered.

Professor Lupin turned to Draco, and asked "Do you care to elaborate?"

"All these intention to harm, intention to control, all it actually means is to have the ability to do something to others. When you control a certain person's actions, that person lose power to you. The Imperius curse allows you to have the power over a person's actions. The Cruciatus Curse allows you to have power over a person's pain. The Killing Curse allows you power over a person's lifespan. They say that to be immortal means that you have power over nature. The power over something is what defines the dark magic and the dark creatures." Draco explained.

Harry spoke up. "And magic itself is light. But the textbook will say that the true intention of the caster of that spell is what actually denotes it light or dark. Due to that, it is actually very difficult to justify. Killing a person to save a town. Is that spell considered dark or light? I cast a spell to trip a friend. Dark or Light?"

Everyone was thinking about the issue that had been raised. Professor Lupin spoke up. "Yes, a very thin line was drawn between the dark and light magic. And as you all know, human beings have the tendency to move the line when it suits them. Which is why all of you have to have the ability to examine your own actions. Any other points to bring up?"

"The lure of power. The use of dark spells keep giving the power to the caster. It gets addictive." Neville said. Professor Lupin nodded.

"That's the reason behind why Slytherin House had the tendency to turn bad. Not all of the people, but students who grew up in the environments where they are in constant contact with the power lure. After a while, they lose their sensitivity to their surroundings. That's when the dark lord comes around with all the so-called benefits and tries to convince you that a tattoo on your arm and death-eater robes is fashionable." Draco said, in a dry tone. He then noticed that the whole class was staring at him.

"This is interesting. Even the Slytherin class that I had yesterday didn't come up with this point. Many of us put down Slytherins because of house rivalry. I'm a Gryffindor. Somehow when I was sorted into the house, I just hated everything to do with snakes, green and silver, you know… However, years after I graduated, I sat down one day, and wondered, what made me not like that house? Every student who was born in within the wizarding world tends to link Slytherins with dark arts. For the Muggle-borns, the first thing they heard was, 'hope you don't get sorted into Slytherin'. All of you, with the exception of Mr Malfoy were never in Slytherin. What made you not like them?" Professor Lupin asked.

"Their arrogance." Ron answered.

"Their sneakiness." Hermione added.

"You mean me." Draco smirked. Everyone in the class chuckled. "Anyone want to hear sob stories? Here goes nothing. Very little Muggle-borns were sorted into Slytherin. It could be because they were thankful of their newly gained magic that they aren't that ambitious. Most of us there are pure blood witches and wizards. From the time that we were able to understand our surroundings till we were ten, it was drilled into our heads that we were superior and we were taught the basic hexes, for self protection. I guess it can be a brainwashing procedure. Then we come here, where everyone accuses us to be arrogant, sneaky and evil, we will have the tendency to be just that, for the sake of reputation. Our family cares about that. Above everything. The pureblood families are just like the aristocratic families back in the Victorian times. We do things for show." Draco explained.

Everyone sat back thinking about what Draco said. Then Hermione put up her hand, frowning.

"Yes, Ms Granger?"

"Will this be in our N.E.W.T.s?" Hermione asked. Everyone was trying to control their laughter, but a few sniggers escaped from some of the students.

"Um, no. At least, I don't think so. The questions haven't really been set yet. What we are doing this year in Intermediate DADA is to train you to think critically so that you are able to differentiate between right and wrong after you graduate, instead of just blind following."

The rest of the DADA lesson was more discussion on the Dark Arts, and they even evaluated the different reasons that might push Gryffindors, Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs towards using Dark Arts. No homework was given when Professor Lupin dismissed the class.

The next period was Herbalogy. Of the whole group, only Harry, Draco and Hermione had a free period, as the rest headed towards the greenhouses. The three of them who were free made their way to the library, with Harry whining all the way.

"Why do we have to go to the library? Second day of school." Harry said, with Hermione pulling his hand and Draco pushing him from the back.

"I told you, I need to research on my Arithmancy. And any books on the topic that we discussed in DADA just now. Professor Lupin is sure to assign us an essay at the end of the week. Might as well be prepared for it." Hermione answered.

"And remember we said that we are going to learn to defend ourselves? We need to get a spell book and learn to not just use the spells that school teaches us so as not to be predictable. Get it? That's why you are here." Draco pacified the pouting Harry, as they stepped into the library.

They all placed their bags at a corner table, and both Hermione and Draco pushed Harry into a seat and point a finger at him, warning him to stay in that seat while they went and get their books. When they were gone, Harry looked around. Since it was the second day of school and that most of the school was in classes, the three of them were the only people in the library, with the exception of the librarian, Madam Pince. The Hogwarts library surprisingly was very well-ventilated, with many windows opened to allow light and wind to come in. Harry stood up and walked to one of the windows and gazed out. From where he was standing, he could see Professor Hooch teaching a class of first years the right ways of handling a broom. He recalled the first time he was on a broom, up in the sky. Then he recalled the incident that caused him to get on the broom without permission, an incident that involved one Draco Malfoy.

"What are you looking at?" Draco asked. He came back to the table with the books he needed, but when he saw the seat without Harry, he thought that Harry had left. Then he realized that Harry's bag was still on the table and when he looked around, he saw Harry standing at the window, looking out.

"I never did thank you." Harry answered, continuing to look at the first year class, in which some of the broomsticks refused to answer to the 'up' command of certain students.

"For?" Draco asked, also sporting the class that Harry was looking at.

"If you didn't throw that remembrall back in the first year, then I wouldn't be playing seeker now." Harry smiled at Draco. "Got the book?"

Draco nodded. "Two of them. Defense spells. Want to go back to the dorm to read?" Draco looked back at Harry hopefully.

Harry looked at him, smiling. "Read huh?" He said, as he turned to go back to get his bag. Draco checked both books out and the two of them left the library after telling Hermione that they are going back to the dorm. Once they were in their own room, Draco brought the two books to Harry's bed and sat himself on the bed.

"My bed today huh?" Harry asked, amused as he also sat down on his bed. The next moment, Draco pushed him down onto his back, rearranging him and then placed the book on Harry's chest and balanced himself on his elbows beside him. He then flipped the book open and started reading, ignoring the astonished look that Harry had on his face with the prospect of finding himself being the table. Harry sighed and settled down, letting Draco read on him, while he enjoyed the view of staring at Draco's face.

This went on for fifteen minutes till Draco suddenly frowned and snapped the book shut, throwing it aside. Harry lifted his eyebrows questioningly. Draco placed his palms faced down on top of each other on Harry's chest and placed his chin on top of them staring to Harry's face. "You were distracting me."

"But I didn't do anything. I was just staring at you." Harry frowned.

Draco smiled. "Precisely." He could feel Harry's heartbeat under where he placed his palms. He stared up at Harry, examining the features of Harry's face. The peace and contentment he felt just touching Harry, just looking at him and having Harry look back was overwhelming. He had the sudden inclination to find a hole anywhere on Earth just to hide Harry away so as to protect him against danger. Maybe I'm falling for him. Or, I could have already fallen. Draco sighed with resignation.

"I told Sirius about us." Harry softly said, bringing his hand up to touch Draco's cheek. Draco leant his face into the palm's caress.

"And?"

"He seems to approve." Harry smiled.

"As if the 'US' will not continue if he disapprove." Draco grinned.

"So sure of yourself huh?" Harry brought his hand to the back of Draco's neck to bring him closer.

"Of course." Draco murmured as he brought his lips to touch Harry's lips.

            The two boys strolled into the Great Hall together for lunch. They were early, as many of the students were on the way out of classes, and the Great Hall only had a few people, waiting around for the food to appear. They saw Hermione and sat down opposite her, who only lowered her book for a moment to acknowledge the two of them before going back to her book.

Draco shook his head. "You know, it's amazing how Hermione got a boyfriend. I'm amazed that she even noticed Ron."

"That's because he's there all the time! Hi, brothers." Day dropped herself into the seat, looking exhausted even though it was lunch.

"Snape?" Harry wryly asked. Day nodded, as she rested her head on Draco's shoulders.

"I have triple potions with him later." Draco affectionately grinned at Day. All three Gryffindors turned to him with astonishment.

"And you are grinning?" Day asked, stretching her hand to feel Draco's forehead and placed her other hand on her own forehead, as if wondering if Draco was ill. "Normal temperature. Even Slytherins don't like Snape so much."

Draco leant in and whispered. "He's my godfather."

"No fair. No wonder you like his lessons so much. Is the Advanced Potions that bad? Heard that you are the only one taking that. I may be considering that specialization next year too." Day nonchalantly reached out her hand to snatch a chicken drumstick from the food bowls that just appeared. By then the rest of the seventh year Gryffindors had drifted in and Ron sat down opposite Day, hearing her last comment.

Ron's eyes were wide. "Day, why ever would you do that? Are you mad?" Ron exclaimed as the Gryffindors were all staring at Day with horror.

"Well, I had always loved torturing myself. And I happen to LIKE potions. I'm not going to change what I like just because the teacher seems to be in a permanent state of PMS. No offense Draco." Day shot a grin to Draco and continued eating. "So, my dear Quidditch captain, tell me, when are you going to start torturing us this year?" She asked, directing the question to Ron.

Ron frowned, shot a glance at Hermione who seemed engrossed in her book, and replied, "I thought we'll start off slow, for the first two weeks. Saturday 9am to 1.30pm. Okay?" He asked, looking at his seeker and his two chasers. Harry nodded, followed by nods from Seamus and Day. "Day, help me spread the word, will you? I'll talk to McGonagall." He said, getting up immediately to talk to Professor McGonagall, who directed him to Professor Hooch to ask for permission to use the Pitch. He came back smiling and continued eating.

The lessons after lunch were Advanced Charms, except for Draco, who had Advanced Potions in the dungeons. Neville had the afternoon free and offered to walk Draco to the dungeons. Although Draco bristled at the fact that he had to be escorted to the class, he kept silent as he knew that it was necessary that he was not alone. Professor Snape seemed relieved at seeing Neville appear with Draco for the same reason. Upon completing his task, Neville couldn't wait to go back to his dorm room, exiting the dungeons quickly as Draco got ready for his lesson.

***

Dinner found Draco waiting alone at the Gryffindor table for all the other Gryffindors. Gryffindors from different years walked past the silvery blond who was sitting quite near the doors. Most of them had curious looks on their faces instead of disgusted looks he had gotten the previous years as a Slytherin. Draco noticed, wondering if he himself had mellowed since he moved to Gryffindor. I think it was more of the fact that I no longer had to hide behind my mask. He thought to himself.

Suddenly he heard a whimper come from the seat next to him, and turned to come face to face with black fur and black liquid eyes. "Hi, Snuffles. Woke up?" Sirius nodded, looking with interest at the food that just appeared on the table. He then looked at Draco and panted.

"You are kidding me! I really love that dog, but letting it eat at the table is too much huh?" Ron exclaimed, as he sat down. Sirius' eyes narrowed and a growl escaped him.

Draco grinned. "He's not sitting next to you. Sit, Snuffles." Draco said, as Sirius sat, happy that he was going to be allowed to eat at the table. Draco then filled the plate in front of Sirius with food from the different food bowls and Sirius started munching his food. "Snuffles, manners." Draco commented disapprovingly, and Sirius whimpered and slowed down his eating speed.

Harry sat down beside Draco and grinned. "Only you would try to teach Snuffles manners. How was Potions?"

"Oh. Okay. He escorted me into the hall and then left to eat peacefully in his own rooms." Draco grinned.

"I think we should allocate a few days in which we spend our time in the common room. Otherwise we're going to be sick of each other soon. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday?" Hermione stated.

"Are you sick of Ron yet?" Draco teasingly retorted.

"Dray… Don't tease her. Dinner's the only time she's not reading." Harry joked. Hermione blushed and looked at Ron.

"I don't mind. I knew what she was like before I liked her. That way she can't complain when the matches start." Ron let his head fall on Hermione's shoulders and grinned. Everyone laughed at that, knowing that when the matches arrive, Ron would be thinking of Quidditch every single moment of the day.

"Herm, that was a good idea. So tonight is Common Room Time." Harry agreed.

Therefore, the whole group of them found themselves settling down in their common room, surrounded by the other Gryffindors. Ron was playing chess with the different people in the common room, and Hermione and Harry were persuaded by Draco to teach him the new charms that they had learnt in the Advanced Charms class. His reasoning was that since he had time, it would benefit him to learn more charms. After learning the new charms, he ventured towards the chess group, while Harry joined the group playing Exploding Snap and Hermione went back to her books. When Draco came to the chess group, he found that the other students had ganged up together against Ron, with the only two spectators, Day with Snuffles, seated observing them. No one seemed to be questioning why the DOG was watching the chess game. Draco sat down beside Sirius and nudged Sirius to lay his head on his lap to be scratched.

"Why isn't it one-on-one?" Draco asked Day, as he continued to scratch Sirius who was turning himself around, directing Draco where he wanted to be scratched.

"Every Weasley is good at something. Ron is good in chess." Day answered, joining in the scratching of the dog, who was whimpering with pleasure by then.

Finally one of the boys in the group against Ron said "No one is winning. Six of us against him. By right, he won." The six boys slumped in defeat, as Ron relaxed in his seat, grinning.

"Can I play?" Draco asked. Sirius got up from his lap and looked at Draco, while the other six boys all turned to stare at Draco as well. All Ron did was to indicate Draco to sit, as he used his wand to resurrect the broken pieces. They started the chess game two minutes later.

Forty-five minutes later, Ron was perspiring, while Draco looked calm and collected. By the fifteen-minute mark, when the whole common room had not heard Ron say 'Checkmate', they had realized that there was a very interesting chess game going on. By the half-hour mark, Harry came to sit down beside Draco and Hermione sat down beside Ron. Sirius was looking at the two players with big eyes. Ron was actually frowning. The atmosphere of the whole common room seemed to be so tense, as everyone wanted to know the victor of the game. Ron was staring intently at the chess board, while Draco was staring at Ron's face. The clock on the wall chimed ten, as Sirius got up, to go for his rounds around the castle. Harry silently got up and let Sirius out, whispering "six-thirty tomorrow" to remind Sirius for the run. Everyone continued waiting for another five minutes, until, Draco cleared his throat, making many in the common room jump. Ron looked at Draco.

"Stalemate?" Draco drawled. "Draw?" Draco struck out his hand.

Ron looked at the hand in front of him, looked down at his pieces again, and up at Draco. He then shook his hand. "Draw. Good game."

The noise level of the whole common room suddenly went up, as everyone got up to go to their rooms to get ready for bed, discussing about the chess game that just ended in a draw. Ron Weasley had been recognized for his chess skills since his first year and they promised themselves that they would spread this news to their other friends in other houses.

Draco looked at Ron, who was still frowning at the chess board. His chess pieces shrank back from him. "Hey Ron, it really was a good game. I wasn't kidding."

Ron looked up at Draco. "You weren't even frowning."

Draco smiled back at Ron. "You didn't grow up playing chess with opponents in which their aim was to make you show emotions. I learnt since young to play chess not showing ANY emotion. Slytherin chess games had very high stakes as well. I had to be the best to survive. And I was the best at Slytherin."

Ron looked at Draco, seeing the honesty in Draco's eyes, and nodded, getting up, to keep his chess pieces. "Another game on Thursday? I need to train myself. Who else can I practice against but you?" Draco nodded in agreement, as they made their way to their room.

A/N: Okay… took your advice and up the ratings…. Forgot to do it the previous night when I uploaded Chapter 7. Never thought that the scene will be that graphic till I wrote it…. Hmm… anyone good at writing sex scenes… leave me a note… may need your help later on when doing the D/H part. I know you people like the character Day Lee… but after all the types of plotting and planning I have for her, none seems good… sigh… I'm a sadist huh??? I'll try to not make it too hard for her… Quite a lot of Clichés in this chapter… can't help it… they just came out… Did you noticed that the kissing was just '***'? I let it be understood so that I don't need to do another intense kissing scene… it was obvious they kissed and snogged for the rest of their free period away. Review please…
