A little blonde haired, blue-eyed child came out of the a joining room. "Hi Trenton, oh my big boy," Shane said as the little boy gave her a hug. "Did you go with gram-ma today?" she asked. Draco stood there as still as ever just looking at her. There were so many questions he could think of that he wanted to ask her. "Yesh," Trenton said, "Gram-ma showed me where all of your clashes were." "Did she? Did you see mommy working on homework?" Shane asked her son. "Yesh, I shaw you with him," Trenton said and pointed to Draco, who was still standing perfectly still. "Uh, Trenton, why don't you get dressed for some supper?" Shane asked. "Okey dokey mommy!" Trenton said to his mom and gave her a kiss. Shane stood up next to Draco as she watched her son go into his room and shut the door. "I really hope things won't be weird between us, now that you know my big secret," Shane said. Draco looked at her. "He's yours?" Draco asked. "Yeah," Shane said with a sigh. "He's so... you," Draco said. "Yeah. It's weird how your offspring can sometimes look like you," Shane replied. "Does this whole thing make you feel weird?" Shane asked, looking as if Trenton was a problem. "No," Draco said. "I'm. Just... Stunned... I guess." "Well, if you want to change lab partners its fine with me." "Why would I want to do that?" Draco asked and turned to face her, only having to look down a little bit to make eye contact. "I dunno, I just assumed that you wouldn't want to be around me, like I was a bad influence or something," Shane said. "ON ME? You must be joking. It may be the other way around though," Draco said. "You mean you be a bad influence on me?" Shane asked, as Draco got closer to her. "Of course." Draco said, as he got even closer to her face. He continued leaning closer until, "MOM!!" Trenton screamed as he stood in the doorway. "Hey Trenton! Are you ready to go?" Shane asked trying to distract him. "Mom, why were you going to kiss him?" "I wasn't gonna kiss him, I was getting something off of his lip. He had something white on his lip and mommy got it off for him. Are you ready to go to supper with gram-ma?" "Yesh," said Trenton. "I wash--" he started to say and then heard a knock at the door. "Gram-ma!" Trenton yelled and opened up the door to see Professor McGonnagle standing in the doorway. Trenton ran to her and gave her a hug. Professor McGonnagle looked at Shane, and then at Draco. "It's your neck, Shane," she said and grabbed Trenton. Shane closed the door after them. "Well, you always know that you can change partners in Potions if you feel uncomfortable with me being your partner." "Why would I do that? I just tried to kiss you, you think I feel uncomfortable around you?" Draco asked as he looked down and started smiling. Shane smiled back and said, "Are you hungry?" "Starving. I was going to ask you if you wanted to go down to the Great--- " Draco began saying. "Good, I'm gonna make you some dinner." "What, you know how to cook?" Draco asked looking very surprised. "Yeah, I don't do everything by magic. Do you?" Shane asked him. "Of course. I don't even think that I could get dressed without magic," Draco said and started to laugh. "Well, maybe someone should teach you," Shane said as she got out cans from the cupboard. "What are you making?" Draco asked. "Only the good stuff! Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup!" "How do you make that?" Draco asked looking over her shoulder. "It's easy. First you open the can," Shane said. "OH I can do that!" Draco said and pulled out his wand. "NO!" Shane said and grabbed his wand. "You open it with a can opener," she said and took the wand away from him, replacing it with a can opener. "It's known as manual work. It's fun!" Shane said. "I don't know how to work this thing," Draco said, looking puzzled at the odd object in his hand. "I'll show you. First you put the can opener onto the can and push down. You will hear a click. Now that means the can is opened in that area. Then, you twist the can opener around the can, so the whole can, can be opened. Once that is done, you pour the contents in the can into the pot. Turn on the stove and let it cook." Shane said and helped Draco do the following. "Wow, that was really easy. My parents just zap dinner onto the table when they want to eat," Draco said. Shane looked at him and laughed. "My god it must be real easy being you. You don't even have to try hard to do stuff like this," Shane said. "Oh look, I have a television, with a DVD player. Wanna watch something?" Shane asked Draco and headed over to the couch. She flopped back onto the couch and turned on the TV. Draco followed. "MTV!" Shane yelled and giggled. "OH MY GOD! It's a special about Good Charlotte! I have to watch this. They are so hot!" Shane said and looked at Draco who was giving her an odd expression. "What?" she questioned. "They all have piercing and tattoos, they look grungy," Draco said and looked at Shane, who acted like she was gonna kill him. "You don't even know who they are and you're already judging them. Here, listen to their songs," she said and she turned up the TV. She walked over into the kitchen and stirred the soup. "I hafta pee, feel free to look around," Shane said bluntly, and ran into the bathroom. Draco stood up and started roaming. Within seconds he found himself in her room. The entire room smelled like Asian pear. He sat down on her bed, and found it to be the most comfortable bed he had ever laid down on. It wasn't like his bed, which he had extra things done to it. No. Hers was warm, fluffy, and perfect. It just seemed to fit her so well, like it was made, just for her and was just so unique in it's own way. It's strange how these things can be like that. He lay back on her bed. 'My god, it is so comfortable,' thought Draco that he didn't want to get up at all. He looked over at the door and saw that Shane was watching him. "Do you know how cute you look on my purple bed? It's adorable," she said and walked over to him. She flopped down on her bed next to him. "But my favorite part of my bed is the canopy ceiling. It's exactly like the night sky. Dumbledore did that for me." "Wow," Draco said, "Amazing." Shane looked at him funnily. "I thought you would be used to the ceiling looking like the night sky?" "I'm not talking about the ceiling," Draco said and turned to face her. "I'm talking about you." "Maybe you should try some new pick up lines next time," Shane said and got up from her bed. "Supper is finished." Draco; who was confused and shocked, got up. That was the second time he could have kissed her and he didn't jump in and do it. 'NO! I had to say those 'friggen words, damn it,' he thought. He went out to the kitchen and saw Shane was trying to pour the soup evenly into the bowls, but was instead spilling it all over. "Do you need some help?" Draco asked and approached her, trying to take the pot from her hands. He stood behind her and helped her pour the rest of the soup. "Thanks," she said simply and walked away from him. 'Is it me, or is she trying not to get close to me;' Draco thought to himself. "Shane, Do you have a boyfriend?" he asked her. 'Maybe that's why she keeps backing away from me,' he thought. "No," Shane said with a sigh. "I did, but he turned out to be a complete dick head." Shane said and got some Pepsi out of the refrigerator. "That's why I keep backing down from you," she said as if she was reading his mind.

"Oh, uh, ok. So then, you don't trust me?" Draco asked. "No, well, not yet at least, maybe once I get to know you. It's just, when the father of your baby lies to and deceives you, it's kind of hard to start trusting another," Shane said looking like she was going to break down in tears and cry. "Are you okay?" Draco asked. "Look at me! I'm 16 years old; I have a child with no father. I'm also constantly running away from the biggest secret of my life!" Shane said and broke down in tears. The cupboard door opened and a glass fell from it. It shattered as it hit the ground and Draco stood there, not knowing what to do. He finally decided it was best for him to go to her and he went over to her and hugged her. "My god, I don't even know what's going to happen to me. I haven't even finished school and I'm looking for a job to feed Trenton. I eat Campbell's soup for dinner. I hate the way I am and it's all my fault," Shane said and sunk to the floor, picking up the broken glass. Draco got down on his knees and helped her clean it up. "Ow!" Shane said. She had gotten a sliver of glass in her finger and it was bleeding like crazy. Draco could see that she was shaking. "Come here," Draco said and he went and got his wand from on top of the refrigerator. He mumbled some words and the bleeding ceased. Draco put down his wand and held Shane in his arms. He had never felt this way, or even done this before. He looked at Shane, at her face, and wiped away a tear. Then, he kissed her. Her lips were so soft, that he couldn't stop. This was his first real kiss and he had especially never been kissed the way that Shane was kissing him. She slowly pulled back and looked at him. He loved the way she looked when she had just been kissed, the way she tried to look at both of his eyes at once. "You have no idea how cute that look was," Draco said as he touched her face. "What look?" Shane asked. "That look that you get from people right after you kiss them and they try to stare at both of you eyes at the same time. You know, that look," Draco said. They laughed. "How can you do that? You can be so mean to Harry, Ron, and Hermione, but you can't be mean to me," Shane said and looked at his gorgeous eyes. "That's an easy one. I don't like Potter, Weasley, or Granger, but you're really special to me," Draco said caressing her cheeks. "What are you trying to say?" Shane asked him. "Umm. well. Shane, would you like to go out with me?" Draco asked in a shaky voice. "What do you mean by 'go out with me'?" Shane asked as a smile grew onto her face. "Would you like to see me in a continuous block?" Draco asked Shane and started to actually shake. "Are you cold? If you are I can turn up the heat," Shane said. "Yeah, it is getting kinda cold in here," Draco said and watched Shane get up and fix the thermostat. She had just sat back down when someone knocked on the door.
