Coyote Ugly

          Hey, hey, hey fellow fanfic readers and writers.  Coyote Ugly has reached its 200 mark of reviews!!!!  You really have no idea how happy and pleased I am to see that my story has gotten this many reviews.  I could hug you all!!!  Did anyone watch the Grammy's?  I know I did.  They were pretty cool.  I'm usually not a big fan of country (with the exception of Shania Twain) but I really liked Martina McBride's performance.  It was so sad, but I loved it!  Black Eyed Peas did a cool performance.  So enough about the Grammy's, let's get to the story.

Disclaimer- I don't own Harry Potter, yada, yada, yada, ECT. Ect. Ect. Ect.  You get the idea…

Chapter 10 Sailing

          Mona woke up on the couch to a large grumble coming from the bathroom.  It sounded like someone was sick.  Indeed, they were.  Ginny was in the bathroom, and she was not looking good.  Mona got up and walked to the bathroom. 

          "Are you okay, Ginny?  You don't look like your perky, happy self.  Do you want something for your stomach?" asked Mona.

          "Oh God… I feel like my entire stomach just came out in the toilet.  I didn't even have any alcohol last night or the day before.  Geezz… something sure didn't agree with me." Said Ginny leaning against the sink.  "I'll pass on any medicine.  I don't trust muggles with that, and I doubt it will help at all.  Just give me a bed and I'm fine."

          "Are you sure?" asked Mona.

          "Yeah, I'm really okay.  I just need a little break.  Why don't you go out with Malfoy for the day?" Suggested Ginny smirking at Mona.  Mona blushed.

          "I don't know.  I couldn't possibly leave you.  We don't even have a lot of time.  What if I never see you again after this?  You do need rest though.  Your face is kind of pale and you look like you need some extra rest." Said Mona as she sat on the couch.

          "I think you should go out for a walk, like you always do, and if you see him, then go with him.  Just leave me some money, and a number for that pizza place, oh, and the remote, and I'm fine for the day.  Really.  You shouldn't waist a whole day just watching me get sick." Said Ginny as she tried to step out of the bathroom.  Failing miserably, she sat on the edge of the sink, and stared at Mona for a while.  Mona finally got tired of being stared at and finally gave in.  She ran upstairs and put on a pair of shorts and a green t-shirt.  Ginny practically forced her out the door, and down the street, but not before she made Mona teach her how to use a telephone.  Even though Harry knew how to use one, he never taught her how to.

          Mona walked down the street not really paying attention to where she was going.   When she did realize where she was, she was at the boat docks.  There was a specific for people who owned small sailing boats.  Mona loved to sail, but even coyotes didn't make that much money.  She walked up and down the rows just staring around at anything and everything.  Then a noise caught her ears.

          "Damn!!!  God, do I hate these things.  Why can't they be made easier to assemble?  It was never this hard at the manor.  Are these things different too?  Grrr…." Growled a voice to the side of Mona.  She couldn't help, but smile just a little.

          "Oh c'mon.  Can't the great Draco Malfoy handle a little manual labor?  I think all of the sitting around at the manor hurt your muscles a little." Said Mona as she began to smirk.  A head popped out of a small sailing boat.  Of course.  What kind of a day would it be without running into Draco at least sometime in the day?  To Mona, it was inevitable.

          "Hey, I used to sail around the lake in back of my house.  It used to come second nature to me.  Well, third actually.  Qudditch came second.  So what are you doing here?  Isn't little weasel, or no potter, still here?  It's not nice to leave a guest all alone in a big city without a street-smart person to protect her." Said Draco smirking back at her.

          "Ginny's sick.  It must've been something she ate because it was all in my toilet this morning.  She made me go out for a walk.  For some strange and abnormal reason, she figured I'd bump into you.  I guess she was right.  Figures." She said as she rolled her eyes a little.  "Anyway, I was just wandering, and then I heard you.  Pretty ironic, huh?"

          "Someone up there is forcing us together.  It's my day off from stalking you, but no.  You're stalking me.  My, how the tables have turned."

          "Ha, ha, ha." Mona said smiling now no longer smirking.  She and Draco looked out toward the lake for a minute before Draco finally spoke up.

          "If you're not busy, then would you like to go for a ride?  There's a nice breeze and I brought a bunch of fast food to try.  I do need someone to tell me what all of these things are." Said Draco as he held up several bags of food.  Some said McDonald's on them, and others said Subway on them.  Mona laughed a little.

          "I guess I could take some time from my busy schedule and assist you on sampling the fine cuisine of fast food."  Draco held out his hand, and Mona took it.  He smiled at her, and began to get ready. 

In a few minutes, they were off sailing around the harbor of Chicago on a bright, sunny, Sunday.  The water sparkled in the noon sun.  The breeze felt wonderful, and the fresh smell of lake water filled their nostrils.  Mona sat down while Draco sailed around for a while.  After they were settled, Draco sat down next to Mona and opened a bag of McDonald's. 

          "What is this exactly?  It looks like… well, I'm not sure." Said Draco as he eyed the hamburger suspiciously. 

          "It's called a hamburger. Say it with me now.  Ham-bur-ger.  These little stringy things here are called French fries.  Don't ask why.  I don't think the French invented them, but hey, it's like the French toast thing too so whatever."

          "Thanks for the history lesson.  I'm not even going to ask how you know so much about hormbagggers.  I don't what to know." Said Draco as he shook his head.  He finally took a bite, and found that muggles knew how to cook.  Even the French fries that weren't really French tasted really good.  They had fun throwing them at each other anyway.  "I don't think I can eat this" He looked at the bag.  "Subway.  That's what dinner is for I guess." He said as he put the bag back down and looked out at the city with Mona in his arms.  She smiled broadly and relaxed.  There was one thing that was nagging at the back of her head.  She tried not to ask it, but it had to be asked.

          "Draco, what made you made you change your mind in the war.  You could've been the difference between our failure and success.  Voldermort might've even given you a part of the world to rule.  Why give it up?" asked Mona hoping that he wouldn't get mad.  If he really loved her, then her wouldn't.  As much as she tried to keep it in, she had to know if she wanted to stay with him.  Draco looked at her for a second and sighed.

          "To tell you the truth, my father was talking about me becoming another great dark wizard, but I couldn't do it.  There's too much pressure, and I had other reasons.  So I asked Dumbledor if there was anything I could do to help.  He told me it wouldn't be safe if I were a spy so he let me help Snape make several useful potions.  It wasn't much, but I did help a little."

          "Really?  What were your other reasons?" she asked.

          "You." He answered simply.  Mona sat there for a second completely dumbstruck at his answer.

          "Why me?"

          "Because at the beginning of seventh year, I started to fall for you.  I didn't admit it, and I denied it as much as I could, but when my father told me I would have to help kill all muggle born people at Hogwarts, I couldn't do it.  It was too much.  That's when I switched sides." Said Draco letting out a breath.  Mona turned and looked at him.

          "You could've saved me a lot of pain and money.  I felt just like you.  I was falling for you, but I wouldn't admit it either.  Then I got back with Victor, and he proposed.  I figured that it was just some little crush.  When I found out what a scum he was, I didn't care about anything there any more.  The farther I was, the happier I was."  Draco looked at her a laughed a little.

          "So we could've saved ourselves a lot of trouble, and me a bath in a bar, if we had just sucked up our pride?  Well, now I feel like such an ass." He said shaking his head.  Mona laughed as well.

          "Back then, we would've slapped anyone who ever thought about this.  Wow.  I guess I changed more than I thought."

          "Yes you have." Said Draco as he tilted her chin up to face him.  She smiled at him before he attacked her lips.  She tasted sweet as always as he slipped his tongue in her mouth.  She moaned and he smirked against her lips.  He began to wrap his arms around her waist as her hands found their way around his neck.  The kiss went on and on until neither one could breath.  They parted very slowly and smiled.

          "So, don't you ever miss Hogwarts of Potter and Weasley?  They were your best friends." Asked Draco after Mona had settled back into his arms.  She sighed.

          "I do miss them.  More and more each day.  If I could, then I would go back to Hogwarts for a quick visit, but I don't think I could.  Too many risks at hand.  You were shocked enough.  Think of what the rest of the world would say." Said Mona as she remembered Draco's first thoughts about her.  She thought of how he thought she was a slut, but found that she really had a little bit of Hermione Granger still lingering in her.

          "Yeah, I guess.  There's not much you can do, is there?"

          "No.  I've come to terms with it I guess.  Seeing Ginny again helped so much.  I just wish I could see Matt, oh and Harry and Ron again."  Mona and Draco sat out on the boat for the rest of the afternoon.  When the sun had finally set, Draco got up and started for the harbor.  The ride back was enjoyable.  Mona stood at Draco's side as he steered the boat back into the harbor.  He helped her off.  She was about to walk away before she forgot to do something.

          "Draco." She called.  He spun around and looked at her smiling.  She practically jumped on him as she pressed her lips firmly onto his.  She felt, for once, totally and completely content.  Everything was perfect.  His arms stroked her cheeks as her hands played with the hairs on the back of his neck.  When his watch began to beep at six 'o clock, they broke apart.  "Thank you." She whispered. 

          "I'll see you hopefully tomorrow or the next day."

          "Probably on Tuesday after Ginny leaves.  Tomorrow will be our last full day together.  I'm planning on taking her to the beach.  I'll see you on Tuesday." She whispered as she walked off the pier and walked home.  Draco stared at her back and smiled once again.  For him, like her, he felt at complete peace with the world.

          "Mona got home at about six thirty to find Ginny asleep on the couch.  'This is probably a good thing.  At least she won't ask about my day.  Knowing her, she'll go crazy, but in a good way…' thought Mona as walked up to bedroom with Perdy at her heals.
