Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter… HAPPY?!
A/N: YESSS… Two people have read it so far… YIPPEE! And I guess I see your point… Brittan does seem like a cross dresser and all. But she is based off of how I used to be. And I dressed like since I was in the 3rd grade until this year. Now I look like a typical teen age girl. But that is why she looks the way she does in this. But I'm glad that you like it so far and I hope you will keep reading.
AND… she won't dress like that for the whole story… her style will change in later chapters! LOVE YOU ALL!
ENJOY!

Brittan and Hermione starred at Draco's eagle that was sitting quietly on Brittan's dresser. It starred back at them intently… then gave a loud screech and looked down at the letter in Brittan's hand.
"What?!" Brittan exclaimed. She looked down at the letter then to Hermione.
"Why would Draco send you something?" Hermione said questionably as she looked at the letter and back to the eagle. "He must have a crush on you!"
"I think he sent it to me cause I told him too!" Brittan said, remembering the ride in the carriage earlier that day.
"WHAT?!" Hermione half yelled. "Wait… I don't want to know!" Hermione threw her hands up into the air and retreated to her bed and sat down.
Brittan looked down at the off white envelope and green ink. "Umm… should I open it?" Brittan asked as she looked over to Hermione.
"I don't know… it's your letter," Hermione's eyes shot over to Draco's eagle. "Maybe if you read it… he'll go away." Hermione pointed to the now quiet eagle.
"You're right!" Brittan sat down on her bed and broke the snake like seal on the back of the envelope. She unfolded it and green ink (writing) filled the page.
The letter read:
"Brittan,
You told me to send you an owl when I remember what I was going to say… well… I don't have an owl… I have an eagle. And he won't leave until you give him a letter for me giving me your response.
What I really wanted to say was… well… I want to see you… alone… so we can… well… talk I guess. But don't let anyone know… let it be our little secret.
So give your response to Glander (A/N: I don't know its real name) and he'll bring it to me! And if you don't send him back with a letter from you in two days… I'll find you and get your answer in person… and Glander!
Yeah… WRITE BACK!
Draco Malfoy"
Brittan went wide-eyed and starred down at the letter. 'Holy Shit!' she thought to herself. 'I don't understand… I dress like a boy and he wants to "talk to me"? My god… what is the world coming to these days?'
She got up and grabbed some parchment and a quill.
"What did it say?" Hermione asked, looking at Brittan.
"Um…" Brittan thought for a moment. "I'm not suppose to tell anyone… but he just wants to talk to me in person."
Hermione shook her head and lay on her bed. "Whatever… I'm going to sleep girl… see you in the morning! G'night." Hermione got under her blankets and snuggled into bed and turned her lamp off.
"G'night!" Brittan replied.
She thought for a half an hour on what she would write back. She finally came up with something and began writing. The scratching of her quill on her parchment made Hermione shift from time to time and made Glander squawk once or twice.
When she finished, she grabbed a bottle of perfume out of her trunk and lightly sprayed the letter. She put it into a rose colored envelope and sprayed it to after putting her seal on it to seal the envelope. The letter now smelt of roses and the room as well.
She tided the letter to Glander's leg with a blue ribbon and patted him on the head and gave him a treat. He ate the treat quickly and flew over to the window and tapped on the glass. Brittan walked over and opened the window wide enough for him to fly out and then he was off. Brittan stared into the night sky until she couldn't see Glander anymore.
Brittan left the window slightly open, turned off the remaining lights in the room and climbed into bed.
***Draco's Room***
There was a tapping noise coming from the window facing the Dark Forest. Draco glanced over and saw Glander perched on the sill of the window. He walked over to the window and opened it. Glander flew into the room and perched himself on the foot of Draco's bed.
Draco closed the window and then his nostrils were filled with the smell of artificial roses. Her glanced down at Glander's leg and saw something tied to it with blue ribbon.
"Damn… she scented it!" Draco eyed the letter for a moment. Glander then screeched and glared at Draco. "Fine you impatient bird…"
Draco walked to the foot of his bed where Glander was perched and untied the letter from his leg.
He screeched again and then flew to his perch by the fireplace and settled down.
The envelope read:
To Draco Malfoy
From Brittan Arkin
The writing was in normal black ink. But the handwriting was very elegant. The envelope was the color of rose and the seal on the back was of a rose… which made Draco think for a moment. But found nothing in his brain on it.
He carefully broke the seal on the envelope with his index finger and pulled out the letter. The artificial rose scent became stronger as he unfolded the letter. And the same beautiful handwriting filled the page. The parchment was a normal cream color with a rose sketched on the center of the page.
The letter read:
"Dear Draco,
So you want to speak to me in person eh? All alone… Hmmm… WHY?! If you give me a decent reason… I'll say yes to you request.
But if you give me a shitty answer like "just cause", NO WAY!
So think it over carefully. And I hope to hear from you soon… kinda…
Love,
Brittan Arkin
PS: Don't feel special about the "Love" thing. I sign all of my letters that way!"
Draco sneered at the letter. He looked over to Glander and saw that he had fallen asleep.
"What good are you if you're sleeping?" Draco whispered to himself sarcastically. He looked back down at the letter in his hands and raised his eyebrow.
He stared at it for a while and then realized that he didn't really have a reason to want to speak to her.
'Should I just make something up?' Draco thought to himself. 'I don't even know why the hell I want to talk to that tomboy of a girl… Maybe because I need to get back at her for all of those stupid remarks she has said to me…. Shit I don't know…'
Draco stared into the fire and thought for quite some time before he heard footsteps and someone trying to open the door.
'Shit…' Draco thought as he grabbed the envelope, letter and blue ribbon and shoved them under his pillow. The smell was still lingering in the room… so he opened the window in a hurry as the door opened.
"Draco… what the hell are you still doing up here?" Crabbe asked staggering into the room. "The party down stairs is the *hic* bomb!"
"Crabbe… Are you by chance… drunk?" Draco asked as he watched Crabbe walk into the room swaggering from side to side.
"I don't know…. I had a little to drink."
"How much did you drink might I ask?" Draco said raising his eyebrow at Crabbe.
"Oh… four or five… not to much! *hic *" Crabbe said. "Anyway… everyone was wondering where you *hic* were… are you coming down or not?"
"Um… no… not tonight!" Draco said faking a yawn. "I need to get some sleep tonight… big day tomorrow!"
"Alright… whatever to say! *hic* But you're missing out on a kick ass party!" Crabbe said closing his eyes and shrugging his shoulders. "Your loss!"
"Whatever… now shoo so I can get some sleep!" Draco said fanning his hands at Crabbe.
And with that, Crabbe walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. After about four or five seconds, Draco heard a loud thump… followed by another and another.
Draco hit his forehead with his palm… "My god… he fell down the god dammed stairs."
"I'M ALL RIGHT!" Draco heard from the hallway outside of his room.
"My god…" Draco shook his head and started to strip of his robes. (A/N: LOL… Draco… stripping… YEAH!) He changed into his silvered colored silk pajama pants and climbed into his bed. (shirtless) "I'll write her back in the morning!"
***
There was a beeping noise heard from the left side of Draco's bed. He reached his hand out and turned it off and sat up in his bed. He stretched and rubbed his eyes.
He glanced around the room to see two other bodies in the beds to his right… still sleeping and one was snoring. He shook his head and threw off his blanket and hung his feet over the left side of his bed and stood up. He stretched again and walked over to the bathroom.
(A/N: I know how much you all want to see Draco in the shower… BUT… this is PG13 and I think that kind off stuff would be in an R or NC-17… so… I don't want to get my ass chewed out… but I think you all can imagine for yourselves… cause I know I can! *wink*)
Draco walked out of the bathroom in his boxers and a towel around his neck. He had the towel in both hands drying off his wet hair.
He went over to his dresser and pulled out a clean pair of black baggy pants and a white shirt. Being Saturday… he didn't have to dress in his Hogwarts robes. He dressed himself and sat down at his desk.
"Damn this shirt…" Draco said tugging at it. For it was skin tight and showed off more that Draco wanted people to see. He stood up and looked in his dresser. He found a green silk button up, long sleeve shirt and a dark blue silk button up long sleeve shirt.
He debated in his head on which one to wear that day… he tried the green one on first. It was even smaller than the white shirt he was wearing. So he tried the blue one on and it was loose fitting and comfortable. So he went with the blue one.
He grabbed the letter from Brittan from under his pillow and put it onto the desk and sat down. Thankfully, the smell had died down during the night. Now it was just a faint smell of roses. He re-read the letter over and over… thinking of what to write back. But nothing came to him.
After about a half and hour… he had still come up with nothing.
"Damn it girl… why do you have to be so picky!" Draco whispered to himself. He hit his fist on the desk and held his forehead with his other hand.
Crabbe and Goyle both stirred in their beds. Draco then though of the perfect reply to send back to Brittan. He grabbed his quill, green ink and parchment and began to write furiously; due to the fact that Crabbe and Goyle were slowly waking up.
When he finished the letter, he quickly stuffed it into an envelope and stamped the snake like seal on the back. He woke Glander up out of a dead sleep causing him to screech. Fortunately, the two boys thought nothing of it and continued to grunt and grown as they woke.
Draco calmed Glander down and attached the letter to his leg. "Take this to Brittan Arkin!" Draco whispered.
Glander glared back at Draco and then nodded.
Draco walked over to the window and opened it and Glander flew away into the sunrise with the letter attached to his leg. Draco turned around to see that Crabbe and Goyle were still laying in their beds. He glared at them and rose his eyebrow.
"HEY… LAZY BUMS! GET OUT OF BED!" Draco half yelled throwing pillow at the two of them.
They both were startled. Goyle fell out of his bed with a loud thump and Crabbe hit his head on his headboard. Draco laughed slightly and put Brittan's letter in a box next to his bed and walked out of the room and down to the Slytherin common room.
***Brittan and Hermione's Room***
"Argg… I don't what to get up damn it!" Hermione said as she sat up in her bed. She ran her fingers through her hair and yawned. She looked over to Brittan's bed. But she wasn't in it.
She looked around the room… no Brittan. Then the door to the bathroom opened and Brittan stepped out in her pants and bra with her towel in her hand… and something white.
"Brittan… nice look… do you plan to go out in public like that?" Hermione asked pointing to Brittan.
Brittan looked down at herself and then back to Hermione. "I thought it would go well with the professors… don't you think?" Brittan and Hermione laughed. "Actually… I was going to put my shirt on and I accidentally dropped it into the toilet." She smiled and threw her wet shirt into a hamper.
"Nice move girl!" Hermione said laughing and she got out of her bed.
"Thanks!" The two giggled.
Hermione stretched and yawned again. She walked over to the bathroom and opened the door. "I won't be long!" She said and she closed the door behind her.
Brittan smiled and walked over to her dresser to find another shirt. She found a blue long sleeve shirt with a white stripe across the whole thing horizontally. She put it on and then grabbed her brush from the desk and started to brush her hair.
Before she finished, Hermione stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her and wet hair.
"So do you plan to go out in public like that… I think the boys would love it!" Brittan smiled as she put her brush back in her desk.
Hermione laughed and grabbed her clothes off of her bed and went behind her changing wall.
Brittan laughed a performed a spell that dried her hair. And apparently, so did Hermione. Because she stepped out from behind her changing wall, fully clothed and her hair dried. Hermione looked up at Brittan and stared at her for a moment.
"What?!" Brittan said raising her eyebrow at Hermione questionably.
Hermione shook her head. "Nothing!"
"Lair… what were you looking at me like that for?" Brittan demanded.
"Um…" Hermione blushed slightly. "Don't take this the wrong way… but you look…. Hot with your hair down!"
Brittan went wide-eyed. "Say WHAT!?"
"You look 'good' with you hair down!" Hermione said. "And don't start thinking that I am a lesbian!"
"Why do people think being Homosexual is a bad thing… and I know you're not anyway…" Brittan said. Brittan grabbed her hair band from off of the desk and began to put her hair up.
"Why don't you keep it down?" Hermione asked as she started to brush her hair.
"Because if I don't put it up… I get a lot of unwanted attention from guys…. And it's really annoying!" Brittan said, still working with her hair.
SNAP
"FUCK!" Brittan yelped.
"What… what happened?" Hermione asked as she stopped brushing her hair, and turned to look at Brittany.
"My hair band broke… or should I say snapped." Brittan took the broken hair band from her hair and showed it to Hermione.
Hermione started to giggle.
"Damn it Hermione! You jinxed me…" Brittan said looking at the broken hair band.
"Oh well… why don't you just wear it down then… I would take it as a sign!" Hermione said sarcastically.
Brittan looked at herself in the mirror. She ran her fingers through her hair. "Well… I guess I
could… just for today." Brittan said in defeat.
Hermione giggled and put her arm around Brittan's shoulders. "Don't worry… if anyone gives you shit… just tell Harry or Ron and they'll take care of the ass-hole of a guy for you!" Hermione smile and let go of Brittan.
"I think I can take care of myself…" Brittan smiled and started to brush her hair once again.
***
When the girls were completely finished dressing, they walked out of their dorm and ran into Ron and Harry in the hallway.
"Hermione… I thought you and Brittan were sharing a dorm… you is this?" Harry asked curiously.
"Yeah…" Ron said as he looked up and down at Brittan.
"Ack!" Brittan said as she dropped her head slightly.
"This IS Brittan guys!" Hermione said in a matter-o-fact tone pulling Brittan's hair back as if it were put into a pony-tail.
Both of the boys went wide-eyed when Hermione let go of Brittan's hair. And then changed their look to confusion.
"Why are you wearing your hair down?" Harry asked.
"Cause my hair band broke this morning and Hermione told me to wear my hair down…" Brittan said glumly.
"Come on Brittan," Ron said suddenly. "You may look different… but you look good!" Ron started to blush slightly.
"Yeah… I get that a lot!" Brittan said as she moved to go down the stairs.
And the rest of the group followed.
On their way to the Great Hall, Brittan's appearance made quite a few heads turn as she walked past. Hermione kept laughing at her, cause every time people would look at her, she would go a slight shade of pink.
When they got to the Great Hall and walked in… it seemed as if the whole school started to stare at her. The only people that weren't looking at her were Crabbe, Goyle and Filch. Everyone else… (including the teachers) was looking straight at her. She went very red and walked quickly to the Gryffindor table and hide her face in her hands.
All of the Gryffindors around her (besides Harry, Ron and Hermione) were looking at her with great interest and confusion. A lot of the boys were whispering to each other and the girls were goggling at her appearance. Brittan just stared into her breakfast.
Suddenly… the attention was turned from her, to the owls flying into the Great Hall with letters and packages tided to their legs. Brittan than saw an all to familiar eagle flying in her direction.
Glander landed in front of her pumpkin juice and started to shake his leg at her furiously.
"Okay. Okay… calm down!" Brittan said as she tried to untie the envelope from his leg. When she got it off, she gave him a piece of her bacon and he flew off again.
Hermione looked over to see the same colored envelope and seal from the night before. "Oh… so you wrote him back last night…?" She said in a loud whisper.
"Duh… I didn't want his eagle there all night!" Brittan said looking at Hermione and then down at the new letter. She went a little pink and broke the seal on the envelope.
She pulled out another letter, written in the same green ink and beautiful handwriting. She paused for a moment before she read it and looked over to the Slytherin table and found Draco looking at her. She turned from pink to red quicker than you can snap your fingers. He smiled and went back to his food.
She blinked a few times and then unfolded the letter and began to read the short letter. It read:
"Brittan,
Hey… I know this might not be the best answer in the world… but the reason I would like to talk to you is to ask you a few questions. I know… your thinking why not just ask you through the damned letters. Well… I think it would be better if we talked in person. And I plan to get you back for those remarks you said yesterday.
So… if this is a good enough answer for you… write me back and tell me where you want to meet… TODAY! If we are going to talk… it should be today… so… I plan to hear from you soon!
Draco"
Brittan stared down at the letter and then laughed to herself. She then grabbed her quill from her pocket and a napkin. She started to write on it when Hermione and Harry looked over her way.
"What are you doing?" Harry asked pointing to the napkin and quill.
Hermione smiled and winked at Brittan. Brittan thought for a moment on what to say…
"Writing someone back… do you mind if I borrow your owl Harry?" Brittan asked sweetly.
"Huh…?" Harry asked. "Okay I guess."
"Thanks!"
Brittan finished the letter and put the napkin into Hedgwig's (A/N: I think I spelt that wrong… BITE ME! I don't feel like looking it up in the books right now!) beck and whispered to her, "Deliver this to Draco Malfoy."
Hedgwig looked at Brittan with the look of horror on her face. Then Brittan held up a bundle of bacon. "It's yours if you deliver that… right now!" Brittan smiled.
Hedgwig glared at her and then set off. Thankfully, Harry wasn't paying attention to where Hedgwig flew. She flew over to the Slytherin table, landed in front of Draco, dropped the letter and flew away like a bat out of hell.
She landed in front of Brittan about a minute later.
"Thank you!" Brittan patted Hedgwig on the head. "And as I promised, here you go!" Brittan had cut the bacon small enough so that Hedgwig could eat it without trouble and gave it to her.
"That was quick!" Harry said looking at his owl.
"Yeah… it was just to another Hogwarts student!" Brittan smile.
"Who?" Ron asked.
"No one you need to worry about!" Brittan said.
***Slytherins Table***
"What the… why did you get a letter from Potter?" Marcus Flint asked as Hedgwig flew away. "That is his owl isn't it?"
"It's not from Potter… and I don't think that was his owl… his is fatter!" Draco said and he picked up the napkin and read it to himself.
"Draco…
I guess your answer will have to do for now… So… I guess we could meet… um… at the library and then you can take me somewhere where no one will see us… I don't know anywhere like that considering that I am new and all.
So meet me at the library at 7:30! You have until 7:35 and then I will leave… so I suggest to be on time!
See you then!
Love,
Brittan"
Draco smiled and then looked over to the Gryffindor table. He saw Brittan and the dream team all laughing. Brittan looked up and caught his eye. Draco sneered and she winked at him and looked away.
He smiled to himself and thought. 'Damn… no wonder everyone was looking at her when she came into the Great Hall… SHE'S HOT! Damn… with her hair down… and maybe tighter clothes… she could have any guy she wanted… shit man… I best be on time today then!'
***
Brittan began to tap her foot as she stood in front of the library. It was 7:33 on her watch and still no Draco. She still had two minutes before she said she would leave. She looked up and down the hall and saw nothing.
"Maybe he isn't coming…" Brittan sighed and closed her eyes and then looked at the ceiling.
"Hey there… you waiting for someone?"
Brittan whipped her head down and to her left and saw a boy dressed in blue and white. "Yeah… I am…"
"Would it be me?" The boy asked raising his eyebrow.
"No… afraid not…" Brittan said looking away from him to her right.
"Ah… that's no way to treat a gentleman!" the boy said coming closer to Brittan.
"No it's not… but I don't see any gentlemen here!" Brittan said… looking around!
"What?!"
"You heard what she said!" said a familiar voice.
Brittan whipped her head back to her left and saw Draco standing behind the boy in blue and white. She smiled, walked forward, past the boy and threw her arms around Draco's neck.
Draco acted as if he had expected it because he put his hands on her waist and smiled.
"So as you see… she has better things to be doing!" Draco said as Brittan let go of him and he put his left arm around her back and his hand on her hip.
The boy gulped and walked away. Brittan turned to face Draco and rose her eyebrow at him.
"What?!"
"What?!" Brittan mocked. "You were late! If it wasn't for that boy… I would have left!"
"Well… sorry." Draco said… still holding onto Brittan's hip. "People in my common room
wouldn't let me leave… I had to sneak out!" Draco smiled.
Brittan smiled and put her hand on Draco's hand (the one on her hip). "Draco… I don't think we're dating… so don't put your hands where they don't belong!" Brittan picked Draco's hand up and put it at his side.
"Hey… you were the one that threw your arms around me… I was just playing along." Draco sneered down at Brittan.
He looked over her. Her hair was still down and she was wearing a long sleeve blue shirt with a white stripe horizontally on it across the chest and the shirt was kind tight on her. Her pants were somewhat baggy and black.
Brittan looked over Draco and he was wearing faded baggy black jeans, and tight white shirt and a blue silk over shirt. She smiled at what she saw and then looked at Draco's face. His hair was slicked back and his stormy bluish gray eyes were beaming down at her.
"Shall we go then?" Draco asked, extending his arm gesturing to the corridor to her right.
"And where exactly are we going?" Brittan smiled before turning down the corridor.
"You'll just have to wait and find out won't you?!" Draco said as they started to walk down the empty corridor.
A/N: Yeah I know… It didn't really go anywhere in this chapter… but I am getting there… and you all probably know or think you know is going to happen next. But you'll just have to wait and find out if you are right or not.
If you have read any of my other work… I will be posting on it soon!
Anyway…. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and please Review and tell other people about the story!
Love you all!

Brittan and Hermione starred at Draco's eagle that was sitting quietly on Brittan's dresser. It starred back at them intently… then gave a loud screech and looked down at the letter in Brittan's hand.
"What?!" Brittan exclaimed. She looked down at the letter then to Hermione.
"Why would Draco send you something?" Hermione said questionably as she looked at the letter and back to the eagle. "He must have a crush on you!"

Brittan looked down at the off white envelope and green ink. "Umm… should I open it?" Brittan asked as she looked over to Hermione.
"I don't know… it's your letter," Hermione's eyes shot over to Draco's eagle. "Maybe if you read it… he'll go away." Hermione pointed to the now quiet eagle.
"You're right!" Brittan sat down on her bed and broke the snake like seal on the back of the envelope. She unfolded it and green ink (writing) filled the page.
The letter read:
"Brittan,

Yeah… WRITE BACK!

Brittan went wide-eyed and starred down at the letter. 'Holy Shit!' she thought to herself. 'I don't understand… I dress like a boy and he wants to "talk to me"? My god… what is the world coming to these days?'
She got up and grabbed some parchment and a quill.
"What did it say?" Hermione asked, looking at Brittan.
"Um…" Brittan thought for a moment. "I'm not suppose to tell anyone… but he just wants to talk to me in person."
Hermione shook her head and lay on her bed. "Whatever… I'm going to sleep girl… see you in the morning! G'night." Hermione got under her blankets and snuggled into bed and turned her lamp off.
"G'night!" Brittan replied.
She thought for a half an hour on what she would write back. She finally came up with something and began writing. The scratching of her quill on her parchment made Hermione shift from time to time and made Glander squawk once or twice.

She tided the letter to Glander's leg with a blue ribbon and patted him on the head and gave him a treat. He ate the treat quickly and flew over to the window and tapped on the glass. Brittan walked over and opened the window wide enough for him to fly out and then he was off. Brittan stared into the night sky until she couldn't see Glander anymore.
Brittan left the window slightly open, turned off the remaining lights in the room and climbed into bed.
***Draco's Room***
There was a tapping noise coming from the window facing the Dark Forest. Draco glanced over and saw Glander perched on the sill of the window. He walked over to the window and opened it. Glander flew into the room and perched himself on the foot of Draco's bed.
Draco closed the window and then his nostrils were filled with the smell of artificial roses. Her glanced down at Glander's leg and saw something tied to it with blue ribbon.
"Damn… she scented it!" Draco eyed the letter for a moment. Glander then screeched and glared at Draco. "Fine you impatient bird…"

He screeched again and then flew to his perch by the fireplace and settled down.

"Crabbe… Are you by chance… drunk?" Draco asked as he watched Crabbe walk into the room swaggering from side to side.
"I don't know…. I had a little to drink."
"How much did you drink might I ask?" Draco said raising his eyebrow at Crabbe.
"Oh… four or five… not to much! *hic *" Crabbe said. "Anyway… everyone was wondering where you *hic* were… are you coming down or not?"
"Um… no… not tonight!" Draco said faking a yawn. "I need to get some sleep tonight… big day tomorrow!"
"Alright… whatever to say! *hic* But you're missing out on a kick ass party!" Crabbe said closing his eyes and shrugging his shoulders. "Your loss!"
"Whatever… now shoo so I can get some sleep!" Draco said fanning his hands at Crabbe.
And with that, Crabbe walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. After about four or five seconds, Draco heard a loud thump… followed by another and another.
Draco hit his forehead with his palm… "My god… he fell down the god dammed stairs."
"I'M ALL RIGHT!" Draco heard from the hallway outside of his room.
"My god…" Draco shook his head and started to strip of his robes. (A/N: LOL… Draco… stripping… YEAH!) He changed into his silvered colored silk pajama pants and climbed into his bed. (shirtless) "I'll write her back in the morning!"
***
There was a beeping noise heard from the left side of Draco's bed. He reached his hand out and turned it off and sat up in his bed. He stretched and rubbed his eyes.
He glanced around the room to see two other bodies in the beds to his right… still sleeping and one was snoring. He shook his head and threw off his blanket and hung his feet over the left side of his bed and stood up. He stretched again and walked over to the bathroom.
(A/N: I know how much you all want to see Draco in the shower… BUT… this is PG13 and I think that kind off stuff would be in an R or NC-17… so… I don't want to get my ass chewed out… but I think you all can imagine for yourselves… cause I know I can! *wink*)
Draco walked out of the bathroom in his boxers and a towel around his neck. He had the towel in both hands drying off his wet hair.
He went over to his dresser and pulled out a clean pair of black baggy pants and a white shirt. Being Saturday… he didn't have to dress in his Hogwarts robes. He dressed himself and sat down at his desk.
"Damn this shirt…" Draco said tugging at it. For it was skin tight and showed off more that Draco wanted people to see. He stood up and looked in his dresser. He found a green silk button up, long sleeve shirt and a dark blue silk button up long sleeve shirt.
He debated in his head on which one to wear that day… he tried the green one on first. It was even smaller than the white shirt he was wearing. So he tried the blue one on and it was loose fitting and comfortable. So he went with the blue one.
He grabbed the letter from Brittan from under his pillow and put it onto the desk and sat down. Thankfully, the smell had died down during the night. Now it was just a faint smell of roses. He re-read the letter over and over… thinking of what to write back. But nothing came to him.
After about a half and hour… he had still come up with nothing.
"Damn it girl… why do you have to be so picky!" Draco whispered to himself. He hit his fist on the desk and held his forehead with his other hand.
Crabbe and Goyle both stirred in their beds. Draco then though of the perfect reply to send back to Brittan. He grabbed his quill, green ink and parchment and began to write furiously; due to the fact that Crabbe and Goyle were slowly waking up.
When he finished the letter, he quickly stuffed it into an envelope and stamped the snake like seal on the back. He woke Glander up out of a dead sleep causing him to screech. Fortunately, the two boys thought nothing of it and continued to grunt and grown as they woke.
Draco calmed Glander down and attached the letter to his leg. "Take this to Brittan Arkin!" Draco whispered.
Glander glared back at Draco and then nodded.
Draco walked over to the window and opened it and Glander flew away into the sunrise with the letter attached to his leg. Draco turned around to see that Crabbe and Goyle were still laying in their beds. He glared at them and rose his eyebrow.
"HEY… LAZY BUMS! GET OUT OF BED!" Draco half yelled throwing pillow at the two of them.
They both were startled. Goyle fell out of his bed with a loud thump and Crabbe hit his head on his headboard. Draco laughed slightly and put Brittan's letter in a box next to his bed and walked out of the room and down to the Slytherin common room.
***Brittan and Hermione's Room***
"Argg… I don't what to get up damn it!" Hermione said as she sat up in her bed. She ran her fingers through her hair and yawned. She looked over to Brittan's bed. But she wasn't in it.
She looked around the room… no Brittan. Then the door to the bathroom opened and Brittan stepped out in her pants and bra with her towel in her hand… and something white.
"Brittan… nice look… do you plan to go out in public like that?" Hermione asked pointing to Brittan.
Brittan looked down at herself and then back to Hermione. "I thought it would go well with the professors… don't you think?" Brittan and Hermione laughed. "Actually… I was going to put my shirt on and I accidentally dropped it into the toilet." She smiled and threw her wet shirt into a hamper.
"Nice move girl!" Hermione said laughing and she got out of her bed.
"Thanks!" The two giggled.
Hermione stretched and yawned again. She walked over to the bathroom and opened the door. "I won't be long!" She said and she closed the door behind her.
Brittan smiled and walked over to her dresser to find another shirt. She found a blue long sleeve shirt with a white stripe across the whole thing horizontally. She put it on and then grabbed her brush from the desk and started to brush her hair.
Before she finished, Hermione stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her and wet hair.
"So do you plan to go out in public like that… I think the boys would love it!" Brittan smiled as she put her brush back in her desk.
Hermione laughed and grabbed her clothes off of her bed and went behind her changing wall.
Brittan laughed a performed a spell that dried her hair. And apparently, so did Hermione. Because she stepped out from behind her changing wall, fully clothed and her hair dried. Hermione looked up at Brittan and stared at her for a moment.
"What?!" Brittan said raising her eyebrow at Hermione questionably.
Hermione shook her head. "Nothing!"
"Lair… what were you looking at me like that for?" Brittan demanded.
"Um…" Hermione blushed slightly. "Don't take this the wrong way… but you look…. Hot with your hair down!"
Brittan went wide-eyed. "Say WHAT!?"
"You look 'good' with you hair down!" Hermione said. "And don't start thinking that I am a lesbian!"
"Why do people think being Homosexual is a bad thing… and I know you're not anyway…" Brittan said. Brittan grabbed her hair band from off of the desk and began to put her hair up.
"Why don't you keep it down?" Hermione asked as she started to brush her hair.
"Because if I don't put it up… I get a lot of unwanted attention from guys…. And it's really annoying!" Brittan said, still working with her hair.
SNAP
"FUCK!" Brittan yelped.
"What… what happened?" Hermione asked as she stopped brushing her hair, and turned to look at Brittany.
"My hair band broke… or should I say snapped." Brittan took the broken hair band from her hair and showed it to Hermione.
Hermione started to giggle.
"Damn it Hermione! You jinxed me…" Brittan said looking at the broken hair band.
"Oh well… why don't you just wear it down then… I would take it as a sign!" Hermione said sarcastically.
Brittan looked at herself in the mirror. She ran her fingers through her hair. "Well… I guess I
could… just for today." Brittan said in defeat.
Hermione giggled and put her arm around Brittan's shoulders. "Don't worry… if anyone gives you shit… just tell Harry or Ron and they'll take care of the ass-hole of a guy for you!" Hermione smile and let go of Brittan.
"I think I can take care of myself…" Brittan smiled and started to brush her hair once again.
***
When the girls were completely finished dressing, they walked out of their dorm and ran into Ron and Harry in the hallway.
"Hermione… I thought you and Brittan were sharing a dorm… you is this?" Harry asked curiously.
"Yeah…" Ron said as he looked up and down at Brittan.
"Ack!" Brittan said as she dropped her head slightly.
"This IS Brittan guys!" Hermione said in a matter-o-fact tone pulling Brittan's hair back as if it were put into a pony-tail.
Both of the boys went wide-eyed when Hermione let go of Brittan's hair. And then changed their look to confusion.
"Why are you wearing your hair down?" Harry asked.
"Cause my hair band broke this morning and Hermione told me to wear my hair down…" Brittan said glumly.
"Come on Brittan," Ron said suddenly. "You may look different… but you look good!" Ron started to blush slightly.
"Yeah… I get that a lot!" Brittan said as she moved to go down the stairs.
And the rest of the group followed.
On their way to the Great Hall, Brittan's appearance made quite a few heads turn as she walked past. Hermione kept laughing at her, cause every time people would look at her, she would go a slight shade of pink.
When they got to the Great Hall and walked in… it seemed as if the whole school started to stare at her. The only people that weren't looking at her were Crabbe, Goyle and Filch. Everyone else… (including the teachers) was looking straight at her. She went very red and walked quickly to the Gryffindor table and hide her face in her hands.
All of the Gryffindors around her (besides Harry, Ron and Hermione) were looking at her with great interest and confusion. A lot of the boys were whispering to each other and the girls were goggling at her appearance. Brittan just stared into her breakfast.
Suddenly… the attention was turned from her, to the owls flying into the Great Hall with letters and packages tided to their legs. Brittan than saw an all to familiar eagle flying in her direction.
Glander landed in front of her pumpkin juice and started to shake his leg at her furiously.
"Okay. Okay… calm down!" Brittan said as she tried to untie the envelope from his leg. When she got it off, she gave him a piece of her bacon and he flew off again.
Hermione looked over to see the same colored envelope and seal from the night before. "Oh… so you wrote him back last night…?" She said in a loud whisper.
"Duh… I didn't want his eagle there all night!" Brittan said looking at Hermione and then down at the new letter. She went a little pink and broke the seal on the envelope.
She pulled out another letter, written in the same green ink and beautiful handwriting. She paused for a moment before she read it and looked over to the Slytherin table and found Draco looking at her. She turned from pink to red quicker than you can snap your fingers. He smiled and went back to his food.
She blinked a few times and then unfolded the letter and began to read the short letter. It read:
"Brittan,
Hey… I know this might not be the best answer in the world… but the reason I would like to talk to you is to ask you a few questions. I know… your thinking why not just ask you through the damned letters. Well… I think it would be better if we talked in person. And I plan to get you back for those remarks you said yesterday.
So… if this is a good enough answer for you… write me back and tell me where you want to meet… TODAY! If we are going to talk… it should be today… so… I plan to hear from you soon!
Draco"
Brittan stared down at the letter and then laughed to herself. She then grabbed her quill from her pocket and a napkin. She started to write on it when Hermione and Harry looked over her way.
"What are you doing?" Harry asked pointing to the napkin and quill.
Hermione smiled and winked at Brittan. Brittan thought for a moment on what to say…
"Writing someone back… do you mind if I borrow your owl Harry?" Brittan asked sweetly.
"Huh…?" Harry asked. "Okay I guess."
"Thanks!"
Brittan finished the letter and put the napkin into Hedgwig's (A/N: I think I spelt that wrong… BITE ME! I don't feel like looking it up in the books right now!) beck and whispered to her, "Deliver this to Draco Malfoy."
Hedgwig looked at Brittan with the look of horror on her face. Then Brittan held up a bundle of bacon. "It's yours if you deliver that… right now!" Brittan smiled.
Hedgwig glared at her and then set off. Thankfully, Harry wasn't paying attention to where Hedgwig flew. She flew over to the Slytherin table, landed in front of Draco, dropped the letter and flew away like a bat out of hell.
She landed in front of Brittan about a minute later.
"Thank you!" Brittan patted Hedgwig on the head. "And as I promised, here you go!" Brittan had cut the bacon small enough so that Hedgwig could eat it without trouble and gave it to her.
"That was quick!" Harry said looking at his owl.
"Yeah… it was just to another Hogwarts student!" Brittan smile.
"Who?" Ron asked.
"No one you need to worry about!" Brittan said.
***Slytherins Table***
"What the… why did you get a letter from Potter?" Marcus Flint asked as Hedgwig flew away. "That is his owl isn't it?"
"It's not from Potter… and I don't think that was his owl… his is fatter!" Draco said and he picked up the napkin and read it to himself.
"Draco…
I guess your answer will have to do for now… So… I guess we could meet… um… at the library and then you can take me somewhere where no one will see us… I don't know anywhere like that considering that I am new and all.
So meet me at the library at 7:30! You have until 7:35 and then I will leave… so I suggest to be on time!
See you then!
Love,
Brittan"
Draco smiled and then looked over to the Gryffindor table. He saw Brittan and the dream team all laughing. Brittan looked up and caught his eye. Draco sneered and she winked at him and looked away.
He smiled to himself and thought. 'Damn… no wonder everyone was looking at her when she came into the Great Hall… SHE'S HOT! Damn… with her hair down… and maybe tighter clothes… she could have any guy she wanted… shit man… I best be on time today then!'
***
Brittan began to tap her foot as she stood in front of the library. It was 7:33 on her watch and still no Draco. She still had two minutes before she said she would leave. She looked up and down the hall and saw nothing.
"Maybe he isn't coming…" Brittan sighed and closed her eyes and then looked at the ceiling.
"Hey there… you waiting for someone?"
Brittan whipped her head down and to her left and saw a boy dressed in blue and white. "Yeah… I am…"
"Would it be me?" The boy asked raising his eyebrow.
"No… afraid not…" Brittan said looking away from him to her right.
"Ah… that's no way to treat a gentleman!" the boy said coming closer to Brittan.
"No it's not… but I don't see any gentlemen here!" Brittan said… looking around!
"What?!"
"You heard what she said!" said a familiar voice.
Brittan whipped her head back to her left and saw Draco standing behind the boy in blue and white. She smiled, walked forward, past the boy and threw her arms around Draco's neck.
Draco acted as if he had expected it because he put his hands on her waist and smiled.
"So as you see… she has better things to be doing!" Draco said as Brittan let go of him and he put his left arm around her back and his hand on her hip.
The boy gulped and walked away. Brittan turned to face Draco and rose her eyebrow at him.
"What?!"
"What?!" Brittan mocked. "You were late! If it wasn't for that boy… I would have left!"
"Well… sorry." Draco said… still holding onto Brittan's hip. "People in my common room
wouldn't let me leave… I had to sneak out!" Draco smiled.
Brittan smiled and put her hand on Draco's hand (the one on her hip). "Draco… I don't think we're dating… so don't put your hands where they don't belong!" Brittan picked Draco's hand up and put it at his side.
"Hey… you were the one that threw your arms around me… I was just playing along." Draco sneered down at Brittan.
He looked over her. Her hair was still down and she was wearing a long sleeve blue shirt with a white stripe horizontally on it across the chest and the shirt was kind tight on her. Her pants were somewhat baggy and black.
Brittan looked over Draco and he was wearing faded baggy black jeans, and tight white shirt and a blue silk over shirt. She smiled at what she saw and then looked at Draco's face. His hair was slicked back and his stormy bluish gray eyes were beaming down at her.
"Shall we go then?" Draco asked, extending his arm gesturing to the corridor to her right.
"And where exactly are we going?" Brittan smiled before turning down the corridor.
"You'll just have to wait and find out won't you?!" Draco said as they started to walk down the empty corridor.
A/N: Yeah I know… It didn't really go anywhere in this chapter… but I am getting there… and you all probably know or think you know is going to happen next. But you'll just have to wait and find out if you are right or not.
If you have read any of my other work… I will be posting on it soon!
Anyway…. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and please Review and tell other people about the story!
Love you all!
