~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Sullivan's House 10:00 pm~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


     Draco sat leaning against a large willow tree in prefect view of Jessica's window.  The long branches of the willow tree concealed him in the blackness of the night.  He heard the occasional hoot of an owl.  He studied the grounds.  Their house wasn't too big, only two floors.  It was in need of a paint job and there were only three windows on the back of the house.  The bottom right one was Jessica's.  That much he knew.  He also knew, that the windows did not make a sound when being opened.  That was a plus for him; it would make his job easier.  There was a huge oak tree next to her window with a tree house in it. 

He heard a soft rustling and turned towards the sound.  Emerging from the bushes he saw a kid.  He moved with an ease and quietness that would not alarm a normal persons ears, but his were more sensitized and could, therefore, hear even a pin drop in the noisiest place.  All his senses, in fact, were more sensitive then most.  The boy brushed his blonde hair back and straightened his shirt.  Draco watched as the kid tapped on her window, there was a slight glow from a lamp being turned on and then the window opened.  Jessica's head popped out.

"What are you doing here?" she whispered.

"I just wanted to see how you were.  I really am sorry." Michael said apologetically.

"Yeah.  I guess next time you'll think about that before you start playing games that ends up getting me in the hospital with a broken wrist."  She held up her cast to show him it.

"Hey could I sign that?" his voice was normal again.

Jessica sighs.  She really could not stay mad at him.  "Yeah sure.  Let me get you a marker."  She went back into her room and searched out a blue marker from her desk.  She came back and handed it to him, then held her arm out for him.

"Thanks." he said and started writing. 

Jessica read it and laughed.  "Yeah...Sure.  Hey, it's kinda late right now and I'm really tired, so I'll see you tomorrow night, alright."

Michael nodded.  "Yeah, Alright.  What time do you want me to come over?"

"I don't care.  Whenever it gets dark enough for you.  Or do you just want to meet at our secret place?"

Michael nodded.  "Yeah that would be better.  See ya later Jess." he grinned shyly and turned, leaving as quietly as he came.

Draco smirked and turned towards home.  Her time would come soon.
