Brittan and Draco walked down the corridor in total silence. They didn't speak for some time. They walked for about fifteen minutes before Draco stopped abruptly.
Where he had stopped was a gloomy looking corridor that had water dripping from the ceiling. There was barely any light to see where their feet landed, let along the ground they were stepping on. There were chains all over the walls and all of the picture there were of old men (A/N: OLD FARTS!) that didn't look like they were friendly back in their days.
Brittan looked around the corridor but didn't see any doors or anything suggesting a room was anywhere. She eyed Draco, who was staring down at her.
"Okay… what the hell are you getting at… I don't see a room or anything like that anywhere…" Brittan said as she looked around again and then looked back at Draco. "And if you're planning on jumping me or raping me… I know how to fight back so be warned!" she put up her fists and smiled.
Draco let out a slight chuckle and then turned to a picture on the wall. He muttered something in Russian (A/N: okay… I know he doesn't speak Russian… but what the hell eh?) and the picture frame flung from the wall and a small manhole appeared where the picture had been.
Brittan looked at it and rose her eyebrow. "I didn't think of that…" She shook her head and let her hands down by her sides. She looked at Draco who was staring at her. "What?"
"Ladies first…" Draco gestured his hand to the manhole.
"Hell no… you first Draco!" Brittan said eyeing the manhole.
Draco shrugged his shoulders and then jumped into the manhole and vanished into the darkness.
"I guess it's like a slid then…" Brittan said as she put her hands onto the cold concrete of the manhole. "Here we go then!"
Brittan jumped up and threw her lower half into the mouth of the manhole and let go of the cold concert. Her body began to slide down the long tunnel of cold bricks. The light from where the painting had been opened had now vanished with a loud bang behind it.
She hadn't gone far into the tunnel before she began to go faster than she ever knew possible. Before she knew what was going on… she was being flung out of the long, twisting tunnel into a beautiful and large room. Not to mention… right into Draco.
The two fell onto the floor, Brittan on top of Draco.
Brittan rubbed her head and opened her eyes slowly.
The room was barely lit with small torches in the corners of the large room. The room was filled with dark shades (A/N: Well… they seemed dark…) of green and silver. There was a bed on the far-left side of the room and a few couches by the unlit fireplace on the far-right wall. The rest of the room was bare with no furniture… but more of those gloomy portraits of old men.
"Ugh…" Draco mumbled from under Brittan's weight. "Did you ever think about getting off of me any time soon?!" Draco said sarcastically.
Brittan looked at the floor to find Draco underneath her. "But I thought you'd like it this way! But if you insist…" Brittan said sarcastically as she began to get up off of Draco.
"Hey… no complaints here…" Draco smiled his most charming smile and Brittan's mind turned into a puddle of mud. Her eyes goggling Draco's "sexy" stare and smile.
She shook her head abruptly and finished standing up to her feet.
Draco gave a small chuckle and was soon on his feet as well. They both looked around the room in silence. They didn't move until Draco made way for the couch. "Are we just going to stand all night… or are we going to do what we came here to do?" Draco said with his back to Brittan's he walked toward the couches.
Brittan stared blankly for a moment. Staring into the fireplace, hopping to find an answer there. But none came. So she followed Draco slowly to the couches.
As Brittan sat down… Draco moved toward the fireplace and lit the still logs within it on fire with a spell. The noise of the fire crackling filled the room and it was silent no more.
Draco stood from his crouching position and turned around. His figure outlined by the flames and his shadow cast across the floor in front of him. He began to walk over to the other couch but stopped before sitting in it.
He looked at Brittan and then sat down with his eyes closed.
The room was now bright with the light from the fire… The shadows of the objects in the room filled the floor… making it seem darker than it was.
"So…" Brittan began and she turned toward Draco. "We came here to talk…"
"Yes… we did!" Draco replied.
"Then… why aren't we talking?!"
"What are you saying… we're talking at this very moment!" Draco smiled. But the fire caused his smile to look more like an evil glare. Or was it just that?!
Brittan rose her eyebrow and then shook her head. "I should of known this would turn out like this!"
"Like what…" Draco asked.
"Like this!" Brittan said… holding her hands out by her sides. "Us… sitting on separate couches… not talking about what we were going to talk about… just sitting here… me bitching about it being this way…" Brittan put her hands down on the couch.
"So what do you want me to do about it?" Draco said… moving to the edge of the couch he was sitting on.
"I would like to know why you wanted to talk to me in the first place!" Brittan said… realizing that she was having second thoughts about coming.
Draco stared at Brittan for a moment… more like a few moments. "I… um…" Draco managed to get out.
Brittan glared at Draco for a moment. Then blinked a few times and started to stare into the fire.
"Like I said in the letter… I want to get to know you!" Draco said in a pleading voice.
"Why?"
"Cause you're the only girl I have ever met that talks backs to me and insults me the way you do!"
"And you like that…" Brittan turned from the fire to Draco. "Most people find that annoying and think I am crazy!"
"Well… I guess you could say that it… um…" Draco paused… trying to find the right words. "It makes me feel like I have a rival."
"Ack… so you want to spend time… talking to me… your "rival"?! You confuse me you know that right?"
"Sure." Draco said as he stood up from the couch.
"Alright… lets play a game." Brittan said.
Draco stared down at her. "A game…?"
"Yeah." She replied. "It's the one where I ask you a question… then you ask me a question… over and over… this way we'll be able to… get to know each other better!"
Draco stared at her for a moment… "Okay then…" and he sat back down in his original spot.
Brittan stared at him for a moment and then got up.
She walked slowly over to the couch Draco was sitting on… a love seat… fun! She sat down next to him and then looked him straight in the eye. "Shall we begin?"
Draco smiled slightly and replied "Why the hell not?!"
They stared into each other's eyes. Brittan not aware that she was moving closer to Draco's lips.
Brittan looked deeply into Draco's eyes. Feeling as though she could see right into his soul. His tormented, tattered, heart broken soul. She blinked furiously and shook her head.
"Sorry…"
"Sorry… for what?" Draco asked.
"Um…" Brittan looked up again into his stormy Grey eyes. "Nothing. Anyway…" she said trying to change to subject. "How long have you been going to Hogwarts?"
Draco laughed slightly. "I have attended this school for six whole agonizing years." He stared at he intently… as if thinking of what to ask her. "How old are you?"
"I am 15. I'll be 16 in April!"
"When in April?"
"Hey…" Brittan said. "It isn't your turn anymore!"
Draco frowned but saw her point.
"So… What house is it that you're in?"
"I am and have been in Slytherin for the past 6 years here. Great house if you ask me!" He said proudly. "How are you liking being in Gryffindor?"
Brittan smiled. "Well… I like the people I have met there so far. But they all seem to hate you…" she paused. "Why do they hate you?"
"Is that your question?"
"Yes… it very well is!" She replied.
"Well… I guess it is because I've never really gotten along with any of them and they just don't get along with me… And probably because I have called them all some pretty bad stuff… but we wont go there!" Draco added hastily.
"Hahaha… So you're a trouble maker I take it!"
"Yeah… I guess you could call me that!" He smiled intently, so you could see his teeth. "So… have you ever had a boyfriend?"
"WHAT!?" Brittan asked in shock.
"Have you ever—"
"I know what you said…" Brittan said, interrupting Draco. "But why?"
"Hey… it is a question game right?" Brittan nodded. "Well… I was asking you a question so I could get to know you better…"
"Fine…" Brittan went a slight shade of pink. "I've had one boyfriend. Have you ever had a girlfriend?"
"Yeah… but none that lasted long." Draco said in a matter-o-fact tone. "So how long did you and your boyfriend last?"
"Getting personal are we?"
"Just answer the damned question!" Draco said as he smirked.
"We dated for a little over a year." Brittan said glumly. "What was your longest relationship?"
Draco chuckled. "I think it was a little over three weeks."
Brittan dropped her jaw at the thought. "Jeez…"
"Anyway… why did you break up with your boyfriend?" Draco asked as he rested his head on his hand… that was placed on the arm of the couch.
"Um…" Brittan felt a lung in her stomach. 'I don't believe I am telling him all of this…' she thought to herself. "I broke it off with him after I found him making out with another girl…"
"Harsh…" Draco said.
Brittan stared at the floor. Draco apparently saw that she was being filled with horrible memories. He took his arm that his head had been resting on and put it around her back and pulled her into his chest. "I didn't mean to press any buttons… if you know what I mean."
"It's okay…" Brittan rested her head. "I'd rather share this all with you than anyone else."
"And why is that?"
"I don't really know…" Brittan pushed herself back up and Draco's arm rested on the back of the couch behind her.
"ANYWAY… What was the farthest you have ever gone with a girl?" Brittan said in brighter sprits.
"Hahaha… I thought you'd ask that!" Draco smiled. "Do you really want to know?"
"Yes… I really would like to know." Brittan said emphasizing the 'would'.
"Alright… you've asked for it you know!" Draco smiled again. "I have gotten to where my hands were working their way up her shirt… but then a teacher was coming to we jumped apart… That has happened a couple of times… No clothes ever came off though."
"Really?" Brittan said as if she was suspecting him to be lying.
"Okay, okay… my shirt came off a few times… so what?!"
Brittan laughed.
"Hmmm... What to ask you next…" Draco paused for a moment and thought. "Ah ha! Why did you come to Hogwarts for schooling?"
Brittan came to this question stunned. She hadn't expected it to pop up anywhere. But due to the fact that the rules of the game made it so you have to answer… she did. "I came here because…"
Flashes of her father came to her mind. His fists and back hands hitting her. Those nights that she went to bed crying and partially covered with her own blood. Mostly from her lips or somewhere on her head. Her screaming and yelling for help… but no one coming to help her. Not even her mother would come to her rescue. No safety from her life of hell… just the horror of living her life the way she had done for the past 10 years.
Tears started to form in her eyes. But it was too dark for Draco to notice.
"I came here to… to…" a tear fell down her cheek and it glistened in the firelight. This is when Draco noticed.
"Brittan…" Draco put his hand on her shoulder. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to!"
"But you should know…" Brittan said quietly.
"How about you tell me some other time… when it doesn't hurt you so much to talk about it!" Draco pulled Brittan to his side and wrapped both arms around her.
Brittan put her hands on his chest and started to cry.
"Shhhh… You don't have to tell me…" Draco held her tighter… feeling as though he had hurt her in some way.
"But you should know…" Brittan said…breaking free from Draco and staring him straight in the eyes. Her hands placed on Draco's chest to hold her up.
Draco put his hands on her wrists and looked into Brittan's watery eyes. "Not tonight… you don't have to tell me tonight!"
Brittan's lips quivered. She let herself fall into Draco… face buried in his masculine chest. He wrapped his arms around her once again and held her close.
"Everything will be okay… I won't let anything happen to you!" Draco said as he rubbed her back.
Brittan looked up into Draco's eyes once again. Tears streaming down her face. Her face pleading for help… pleading for understanding.
Draco's heart broke at that moment. 'Whatever happened to her… hit her hard and she won't forget it any time soon. God. She looks so pathetic like this. Nothing like she usually does. Like this she can't even insult me the way she did yesterday.' Draco thought to himself. 'She looks so troubled…'
"Draco… can I ask you something?"
"Of course you can…"
"Why… *sniff* did you break up with those girls so quickly?" Brittan asked… her tears starting to thin.
"Because they just wanted me for my looks and money." Draco said. "None of them really wanted me for me."
Draco bent down and kissed Brittan on the forehead. "You however… shouldn't worry about anything… just rest for a bit."
Brittan didn't understand what was happening. 'Rest… does he mean to sleep here all night? Well… I guess it would be better here than going back to my dorm and having to deal with Hermione asking questions… And…' She looked deep into Draco's eyes. 'Being here with Draco makes me feel safe. Safer than I have ever felt before. His strong-arms cradling me so…'
Brittan rested her head onto Draco lap and closed her eyes.
"There you go… just sleep. I won't let anything happen to you… Not as long as I'm here with you… you'll be safe!"
***
Brittan opened her eyes and found herself lying in a bed. No lights were on in the room… everything was quiet.
The sheets she was under were of silk and warm. Something warm lay by her back. An arm was draped over her side with an open palm. She turned over to her other side to see Draco sleeping peacefully. He had taken off his blue silk shirt and was in his pants and white T-shirt. His hair was no longer gelled back… it looked as if he had washed it out before he went to sleep.
His hair fell over his face… not messy… and not untidy. Brittan resisted the temptation to run her fingers through his hair… to see if it was as soft as it looked.
She stared at his peaceful face for some time.
And then it hit her… that annoying urge to go to the bathroom when you wake. She looked around the room slowly. Being careful not to shake the bed and wake Draco… and careful not to overlook the walls for a door to a bathroom.
She spotted an odd looking place on the wall.
She picked up Draco's hand from her side and got out of the bed… and placed his hand where it would have been if she hadn't lying there.
She quietly tiptoed to the part in the wall and felt around it. Trying to find a handle of some sort.
Her hand came across a cold piece of metal (A/N: remember… it is dark and she can't really see very well). She grasped it in her hands and twisted it in the opposite direction. It was a door.
The door creaked a bit as it opened. Brittan flinched and looked over to the bed where Draco laid. He hadn't moved… not even flinched.
She stepped into the room… cold tile was on the floor. She looked around to see shades of white and objects that suggested a bathroom.
***After her "business"***
Brittan splashed cold water on her face and shook it off. She squinted to see her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes were a tent of red and somewhat puffy. It had looked like she had been crying excessively. Which… from what she remembered from the night before… se had been.
She opened the door of the bathroom slowly… trying to make sure she wouldn't wake Draco.
"It's okay… I'm awake!"
Brittan opened the door quickly and saw Draco sitting upright on the bed. He smiled at her sweetly.
"You didn't do anything vile to me while I was sleeping last night did you?" Brittan said smiling.
"Oh… maybe?!" Draco said sarcastically.
Brittan smiled again and walked over to the bed and sat down next to Draco.
She didn't know what to say… or what to do. All she knew was that she hadn't been to her
dorm room all night and Hermione would probably be very suspicious of her absence last night.
"Draco…" Brittan said looking Draco in the face.
"Yes?" He asked as his eyes met hers.
"Would you happen to know what time it is?"
Draco looked at her for a moment… then looked at the wall to see a clock. Brittan couldn't read where the hands were… so she relied on Draco to say.
"It's about 6:00 a.m.!"
"Oh… we probably should be heading back to our dorms!"
"Why?"
"Because… we haven't been back all night… people will start to wonder!" Brittan said standing
up from the bed.
Draco stood up slowly and put his hands on Brittan's hips. "It's okay… you can just say you feel asleep in the library or something like that!"
Brittan looked Draco square in the face in protest.
"But if you really want to leave know…" Draco paused. "I'll take you back to your common room!" He took his hands from her hips and grabbed his blue shirt from off of the floor.
Brittan stood there… not knowing if she really wanted to go or not. But her senses got to her and decided she'd be better off leaving.
"So… do you want to go… or do you want to stay?"
"I think it be better if we left!" Brittan said.
"Okay then…"
Brittan heard the tone of his voice had changed. As if he didn't want to leave just yet. "Hey… maybe tonight you could show me around the school grounds?! We could talk more then!" Brittan said… trying to lighten his sprits.
Draco looked up and smiled. "I think I can arrange that!" He smiled again and put his shirt on.
Brittan smiled back and looked around. She found her shoes by the couch she and Draco had been sitting on last night and put them on.
When she looked from tying her shoes… she saw Draco waiting by an open door leading to a massive staircase. "Why didn't we just take this way down?"
"Because… I can never remember what picture frame it is behind!" Draco said as he smiled.
They walked up the staircase and through the empty corridors in silence.
When they got to the top of the flight of stairs leading to the Gryffindor common room; Brittan looked over at Draco. His face looked sad for some odd reason.
They got to the portrait of the fat lady and turned to each other.
"I'll see you tonight then…?" Draco said, his tone of voice somewhat hopeful.
"Meet me at the library after diner tonight!" Brittan said… remembering that the library was the only place she really knew how to get to.
"Why don't we just meet outside the Great Hall?"
Draco had a point. "Okay… I'll see you then!"
Draco smiled and nodded his head. But something about his stare made Brittan think that something was wrong. He turned around and faced the stairs. "I'll see you then."
"Wait!" Brittan said as she grabbed his arm lightly.
Draco turned around and looked her in the eyes. "Yes?"
Brittan couldn't find any words to come to what she wanted to say. So… instead of speaking… she put her arms around Draco's neck and lightly kissed him on the lips.
Draco's eyes widened then… closed. When Brittan broke away, he pulled her into his own kiss. His mouth pressed against hers… slowly and passionate. Brittan leaned into the kiss and into Draco's body.
There was no tongue… yet very sweet of a kiss. Brittan slowly broke away and stood back. "Thank you for last night!" She kissed his cheek and then turned to the portrait of the fat lady and uttered the password. She turned back to Draco and waved. Then threw the portrait hole she went.
Draco stood there. Not knowing what was coming over him. He didn't know why he longed to be with her longer. All he knew now was that he had to see her again tonight. Then he set off for the Slytherin Common Room… trying to figure out what he was going to do to pass the time for this Sunday to keep him sane until dinner.
***Gryffindor dorm rooms***
Brittan sneaked into her dorm room… trying not to make any noise. The door opened and creaked loudly. She flinched and stopped the door.
The door was suddenly pulled open from the other side and Brittan fell forward. She stopped her face from hitting the floor with her hands and looked up to find Hermione standing there with her hands on her hips.
"Where have you been?!" Hermione said as she pulled Brittan into the dorm room.
Brittan stumbled forward and fell into her bed. "Jeez…" She said as she rubbed her head.
"I was so worried about you… What happened?" Hermione said… changing her tone and sitting next to Brittan on her bed.
"I… um…" Brittan didn't know what to say. Then she remembered what Draco told her to say. "I was at the library last night and accidentally fell asleep!"
"Really?" Hermione said. "I went to the library to look for you… but didn't see you!"
Brittan gulped. She hadn't planed her to say this. "Well… you must have over looked me cause I was there!" Brittan said… trying to hold back the crack in her voice and the mental sweat.
"Probably…"
Brittan sighed in relief.
"Anyway… lets get ready for today." Hermione said as she stood up. "Today I am going to show you around the school!"
Brittan smiled and thought of dinner. After dinner she would be with Draco again. But then she thought of what happened outside. The kiss. What was she going to say to Draco when he asked why she had done it… "To make you feel better?" No… That would just make him think odd things….
***Slytherin Common Room***
Draco came into the common room smiling. Waiting for the night to hurry up and get there quicker. He walked over to the stairs whistling a happy tune until…
"DRACO!" a familiar voice yelled.
He whipped around to see Pansy running to him.
Before she threw her arms around him… he moved to the side and held his hands up so she wouldn't hug him.
"What do you want?" he said bitterly.
"I want to know where you were last night… I came looking for you during the party and you were no where to be found in the Slytherin Common Room." Pansy said as she put her hands on her hips. "Where were you?"
"It's none of your damn business where I was." He said coldly and started to walk up the stairs.
"Hey…" Pansy said in protest. "Why are you so fucking rude to me all of the time Draco?"
Draco sighed and looked back. "Because you are annoying as hell and don't get the hint that I don't like you and want nothing to do with you!"
Pansy looked up at Draco with hurt in her eyes.
For some reason unknown… the picture of Brittan's pleading face from last night came to Draco's mind. Tears streaming down her cheeks and her lips quivering. He shook his head and looked at Pansy. "I'm sorry… I've had a long night… I didn't mean it." Draco said… lying.
Pansy smiled again. "Then go get some sleep you doff."
Draco raised his eyebrow in protest of being called a doff. I mean…. Who uses that anymore…?
He smiled and continued to walk up the stair and slipped into his room.
He got to his room… he went to the bathroom and stripped of his close and got into the shower. (A/N: lol… Draco… Shower… *nibbles on finger* sexiness.)
He stood on the cold tile of the shower stall and let the steaming hot water fall over his slender, muscular body. Not knowing if he really was going to end up doing anything today besides daydream about the night ahead.
He ran his fingers threw his wet hair and shook the water from his face.
He got out of the shower and grabbed a towel. He walked into his dorm room to find Crabbe and Goyle snoring louder than a fucking train and rattling the windows.
He glared down at them but ignored it. (A/N: As hard as that may seem…)
He dressed himself quickly and fixed his hair so it was like it usually was… Slicked back and greasy looking. He shrugged and walked out of the dorm room.
Being that it was around 8:00 a.m. he headed to the great hall.
***Mean while in Brittan's dorm***
She went into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was a little messy… considering it had been down all night and hadn't brushed when she woke up. Her eyes weren't as red and puffy as they had been before… but still noticeable. She washed her face again and took off her shirt… due to the fact that she had got it wet.
She stared into the sink and Draco's face came to mind. His beautiful eyes staring straight at her. She closed her eyes and smiled. She would be with him later that night and maybe something might come to pass because of it. She grabbed a towel and dried her face and then opened the door of the bathroom and walked out.
Hermione was sitting in front of her makeup table, brushing her hair. She turned around and looked at Brittan. She had let her hair down… was dressed in her bra and baggy pants. She smiled and stood up from the seat she was sitting on.
She walked up to Brittan and pulled at the boxers that were sticking out.
"Hey…" Brittan said backing away.
"Not only do you dress like a guy… you wear their type of underwear too?" Hermione said as she was joking in a way.
"Yeah…" Brittan said… tucking the boxer's back under her pants. "Got a problem with it?"
Hermione smiled and shook her head.
"That's what I thought!" she said in a know-it-all voice.
Hermione raised her eyebrow. "Really?!" She grabbed a pillow and hit Brittan in the stomach with it.
"Oof." She glared at Hermione and grinned… kinda the way Draco does… but she didn't do it on propose. "That's how you like to play it huh?" Brittan grabbed a pillow from her bed and hit Hermione in the back of the head… messing up her freshly done hair.
They both laughed and began to have a friendly game of pillow fighting.
After about 15 minutes they stopped and laid down on Hermione's bed… feet still touching the floor but their backs completely flat on the bed. Laughing with each other and out of breath.
Hermione was the first to get up. She extended her hand to Brittan and she took it. Hermione pulled her to her feet and they both sighed catching their breath.
"I think you should get a shirt on…" Hermione said.
Brittan looked down at her chest and remembered that she hadn't put a shirt on. She went slightly red and walked over to her dresser.
Hermione sat back down at her Makeup table and started to brush her hair again.
Brittan grabbed a light blue T-shirt and slipped it over her head and grabbed a belt. She grabbed her hairbrush from her trunk and started to brush her hair.
When she finished brushing her hair… she dug around in her trunk to find her spare hair ties. She found a pack and took a creamy blue off of it and started to put her hair up. Tying the band on her hair at the bottom of her head.
She looked over to Hermione when she had finished and saw that she was playfully glaring at her.
"What?"
"You put it back up!" Hermione crossed her arms over her chest as she stood up from her seat.
"Yeah… I did…" Brittan said. "I'm so glad you can tell the difference." Brittan said sarcastically.
"Me too!" Hermione giggled. "But why… you look good with your hair down… you know that right?!"
Brittan stared at Hermione's face… then looked to the floor. "I don't like the attention I get from the guys when I wear it down Hermione." Brittan said in a long sigh. "That's why I wear the close I do… so the guys can't see my figure and so they don't give me a hard time!"
Hermione frowned. "But people give you a hard time because you look like a guy and you kinda act like a guy!"
"But I can deal with that kind of stuff!" Brittan said in her defense. "I can't however… handle guys that want to grab my ass every 5 seconds. And them talking smack about how they want to bang me!" Brittan said folding her arms over her stomach.
Hermione sighed and walked over to her and put her arms around her neck. "Sorry…"
Brittan smile and put her arms around her waist and completed the hug.
"Anyway…" Hermione backed away. "We should get going to breakfast. I heard that it was going to be really good today!" Hermione said and walked to the door.
Brittan nodded and followed her like a faithful puppy.
***
They got to the bottom of the staircase that leads from the great hall and found Draco about to walk into the hall.
Brittan blushed slightly and Hermione swore.
"Great… it's him." She said.
Brittan looked at her as if she had taken offense to the comment. Then Draco saw them both coming toward him and his posy of Slytherins.
"Good morning Gryffindors." Draco smiled slightly. "How was your night?!"
The Slytherins snickered behind him and pointed.
"Oh it was just lovely Draco…" Brittan said stepping forward… and winked at him catching no ones attention to it. "You should have been there… strip show and everything!"
Draco sneered. "Did you do any of it!"
"Sure did… Threw my pants to some boy…" She smiled mischievously.
"Damn…" Draco said.
Hermione looked from Draco to Brittan in total confusion and disgust. Then she caught onto what they were getting at. They were teasing each other.
"What the hell Draco…" one of the boys behind him said. "Why the fuck are you talking to mud-blood and… the cross-dresser?"
Draco glared back at him. "Just civilized conversation you dip shit!"
Brittan giggled at the remark and then Hermione took her by the arm. "If you don't mind… we have to leave. " Hermione said.
"Oh… be my guest." Draco said as he sneered and gestured his hand to the entrance to the Great Hall.
The two nodded and walked into the great hall with their arms linked together. They sat at the far end of the Gryffindor table like they had the day before. Harry and Ron were already there eating away and drinking their pumpkin juice.
They all ate breakfast in peace. Talking, laughing and making odd remarks to each other. Brittan had said something so funny it caused Ron to spit his pumpkin juice out and Harry to have his come out of his nose.
Brittan had just started to eat her yogurt when Glander swooped down and dropped and napkin on her plate that had writing on it.
She looked over to the Slytherin Table and saw Draco smiling at her. She smiled back and picked up the folded napkin.
She unfolded it and it read:
"Dear Brittan,
I am having a hard time waiting for night to fall… but I will do my best to hold out. But for some odd reason I miss you and want to talk to you in person now… but I will wait until diner for that. But you better be ready for the night of your life.
But I await the time in which we will meet next.
Love,
Draco"
Brittan smiled and grabbed a piece of paper from Hermione and borrowed her quill and wrote him a short note back. She gave Hermione her quill back and asked Ron if she could borrow Pig. He agreed and she sent the letter Draco.
When Pig got back to the table she looked at the Slytherin table to see Draco playfully glaring at her.
She just smiled back and continued eating her yogurt.
***Slytherin Table***
Pig flew away and Draco looked up to see Brittan peacefully eating yogurt. When Pig landed she looked straight at Draco and smiled.
He grinned and looked down at the folded piece of paper.
It read:
"Draco,
I feel the same way… But what they hell do you mean when you say,
"you better be ready for the night of your life."?
Oh well… if you plan on something along the lines of Sex… NO!… but just in case… wear a condom! ^_~
Anyway… can't wait to see you tonight.
Love,
Brittan"
He smiled at her remark and stuffed the letter into his pocket.

Brittan and Draco walked down the corridor in total silence. They didn't speak for some time. They walked for about fifteen minutes before Draco stopped abruptly.
Where he had stopped was a gloomy looking corridor that had water dripping from the ceiling. There was barely any light to see where their feet landed, let along the ground they were stepping on. There were chains all over the walls and all of the picture there were of old men (A/N: OLD FARTS!) that didn't look like they were friendly back in their days.
Brittan looked around the corridor but didn't see any doors or anything suggesting a room was anywhere. She eyed Draco, who was staring down at her.
"Okay… what the hell are you getting at… I don't see a room or anything like that anywhere…" Brittan said as she looked around again and then looked back at Draco. "And if you're planning on jumping me or raping me… I know how to fight back so be warned!" she put up her fists and smiled.
Draco let out a slight chuckle and then turned to a picture on the wall. He muttered something in Russian (A/N: okay… I know he doesn't speak Russian… but what the hell eh?) and the picture frame flung from the wall and a small manhole appeared where the picture had been.
Brittan looked at it and rose her eyebrow. "I didn't think of that…" She shook her head and let her hands down by her sides. She looked at Draco who was staring at her. "What?"
"Ladies first…" Draco gestured his hand to the manhole.
"Hell no… you first Draco!" Brittan said eyeing the manhole.
Draco shrugged his shoulders and then jumped into the manhole and vanished into the darkness.
"I guess it's like a slid then…" Brittan said as she put her hands onto the cold concrete of the manhole. "Here we go then!"
Brittan jumped up and threw her lower half into the mouth of the manhole and let go of the cold concert. Her body began to slide down the long tunnel of cold bricks. The light from where the painting had been opened had now vanished with a loud bang behind it.
She hadn't gone far into the tunnel before she began to go faster than she ever knew possible. Before she knew what was going on… she was being flung out of the long, twisting tunnel into a beautiful and large room. Not to mention… right into Draco.
The two fell onto the floor, Brittan on top of Draco.
Brittan rubbed her head and opened her eyes slowly.
The room was barely lit with small torches in the corners of the large room. The room was filled with dark shades (A/N: Well… they seemed dark…) of green and silver. There was a bed on the far-left side of the room and a few couches by the unlit fireplace on the far-right wall. The rest of the room was bare with no furniture… but more of those gloomy portraits of old men.
"Ugh…" Draco mumbled from under Brittan's weight. "Did you ever think about getting off of me any time soon?!" Draco said sarcastically.
Brittan looked at the floor to find Draco underneath her. "But I thought you'd like it this way! But if you insist…" Brittan said sarcastically as she began to get up off of Draco.
"Hey… no complaints here…" Draco smiled his most charming smile and Brittan's mind turned into a puddle of mud. Her eyes goggling Draco's "sexy" stare and smile.
She shook her head abruptly and finished standing up to her feet.
Draco gave a small chuckle and was soon on his feet as well. They both looked around the room in silence. They didn't move until Draco made way for the couch. "Are we just going to stand all night… or are we going to do what we came here to do?" Draco said with his back to Brittan's he walked toward the couches.
Brittan stared blankly for a moment. Staring into the fireplace, hopping to find an answer there. But none came. So she followed Draco slowly to the couches.
As Brittan sat down… Draco moved toward the fireplace and lit the still logs within it on fire with a spell. The noise of the fire crackling filled the room and it was silent no more.
Draco stood from his crouching position and turned around. His figure outlined by the flames and his shadow cast across the floor in front of him. He began to walk over to the other couch but stopped before sitting in it.
He looked at Brittan and then sat down with his eyes closed.
The room was now bright with the light from the fire… The shadows of the objects in the room filled the floor… making it seem darker than it was.
"So…" Brittan began and she turned toward Draco. "We came here to talk…"
"Yes… we did!" Draco replied.
"Then… why aren't we talking?!"
"What are you saying… we're talking at this very moment!" Draco smiled. But the fire caused his smile to look more like an evil glare. Or was it just that?!
Brittan rose her eyebrow and then shook her head. "I should of known this would turn out like this!"
"Like what…" Draco asked.
"Like this!" Brittan said… holding her hands out by her sides. "Us… sitting on separate couches… not talking about what we were going to talk about… just sitting here… me bitching about it being this way…" Brittan put her hands down on the couch.
"So what do you want me to do about it?" Draco said… moving to the edge of the couch he was sitting on.
"I would like to know why you wanted to talk to me in the first place!" Brittan said… realizing that she was having second thoughts about coming.
Draco stared at Brittan for a moment… more like a few moments. "I… um…" Draco managed to get out.
Brittan glared at Draco for a moment. Then blinked a few times and started to stare into the fire.
"Like I said in the letter… I want to get to know you!" Draco said in a pleading voice.
"Why?"
"Cause you're the only girl I have ever met that talks backs to me and insults me the way you do!"
"And you like that…" Brittan turned from the fire to Draco. "Most people find that annoying and think I am crazy!"
"Well… I guess you could say that it… um…" Draco paused… trying to find the right words. "It makes me feel like I have a rival."
"Ack… so you want to spend time… talking to me… your "rival"?! You confuse me you know that right?"
"Sure." Draco said as he stood up from the couch.
"Alright… lets play a game." Brittan said.
Draco stared down at her. "A game…?"
"Yeah." She replied. "It's the one where I ask you a question… then you ask me a question… over and over… this way we'll be able to… get to know each other better!"
Draco stared at her for a moment… "Okay then…" and he sat back down in his original spot.
Brittan stared at him for a moment and then got up.
She walked slowly over to the couch Draco was sitting on… a love seat… fun! She sat down next to him and then looked him straight in the eye. "Shall we begin?"
Draco smiled slightly and replied "Why the hell not?!"
They stared into each other's eyes. Brittan not aware that she was moving closer to Draco's lips.
Brittan looked deeply into Draco's eyes. Feeling as though she could see right into his soul. His tormented, tattered, heart broken soul. She blinked furiously and shook her head.
"Sorry…"
"Sorry… for what?" Draco asked.
"Um…" Brittan looked up again into his stormy Grey eyes. "Nothing. Anyway…" she said trying to change to subject. "How long have you been going to Hogwarts?"
Draco laughed slightly. "I have attended this school for six whole agonizing years." He stared at he intently… as if thinking of what to ask her. "How old are you?"
"I am 15. I'll be 16 in April!"
"When in April?"
"Hey…" Brittan said. "It isn't your turn anymore!"
Draco frowned but saw her point.
"So… What house is it that you're in?"
"I am and have been in Slytherin for the past 6 years here. Great house if you ask me!" He said proudly. "How are you liking being in Gryffindor?"
Brittan smiled. "Well… I like the people I have met there so far. But they all seem to hate you…" she paused. "Why do they hate you?"
"Is that your question?"
"Yes… it very well is!" She replied.
"Well… I guess it is because I've never really gotten along with any of them and they just don't get along with me… And probably because I have called them all some pretty bad stuff… but we wont go there!" Draco added hastily.
"Hahaha… So you're a trouble maker I take it!"
"Yeah… I guess you could call me that!" He smiled intently, so you could see his teeth. "So… have you ever had a boyfriend?"
"WHAT!?" Brittan asked in shock.
"Have you ever—"
"I know what you said…" Brittan said, interrupting Draco. "But why?"
"Hey… it is a question game right?" Brittan nodded. "Well… I was asking you a question so I could get to know you better…"
"Fine…" Brittan went a slight shade of pink. "I've had one boyfriend. Have you ever had a girlfriend?"
"Yeah… but none that lasted long." Draco said in a matter-o-fact tone. "So how long did you and your boyfriend last?"
"Getting personal are we?"
"Just answer the damned question!" Draco said as he smirked.
"We dated for a little over a year." Brittan said glumly. "What was your longest relationship?"
Draco chuckled. "I think it was a little over three weeks."
Brittan dropped her jaw at the thought. "Jeez…"
"Anyway… why did you break up with your boyfriend?" Draco asked as he rested his head on his hand… that was placed on the arm of the couch.
"Um…" Brittan felt a lung in her stomach. 'I don't believe I am telling him all of this…' she thought to herself. "I broke it off with him after I found him making out with another girl…"
"Harsh…" Draco said.
Brittan stared at the floor. Draco apparently saw that she was being filled with horrible memories. He took his arm that his head had been resting on and put it around her back and pulled her into his chest. "I didn't mean to press any buttons… if you know what I mean."
"It's okay…" Brittan rested her head. "I'd rather share this all with you than anyone else."
"And why is that?"
"I don't really know…" Brittan pushed herself back up and Draco's arm rested on the back of the couch behind her.
"ANYWAY… What was the farthest you have ever gone with a girl?" Brittan said in brighter sprits.
"Hahaha… I thought you'd ask that!" Draco smiled. "Do you really want to know?"
"Yes… I really would like to know." Brittan said emphasizing the 'would'.
"Alright… you've asked for it you know!" Draco smiled again. "I have gotten to where my hands were working their way up her shirt… but then a teacher was coming to we jumped apart… That has happened a couple of times… No clothes ever came off though."
"Really?" Brittan said as if she was suspecting him to be lying.
"Okay, okay… my shirt came off a few times… so what?!"
Brittan laughed.
"Hmmm... What to ask you next…" Draco paused for a moment and thought. "Ah ha! Why did you come to Hogwarts for schooling?"
Brittan came to this question stunned. She hadn't expected it to pop up anywhere. But due to the fact that the rules of the game made it so you have to answer… she did. "I came here because…"
Flashes of her father came to her mind. His fists and back hands hitting her. Those nights that she went to bed crying and partially covered with her own blood. Mostly from her lips or somewhere on her head. Her screaming and yelling for help… but no one coming to help her. Not even her mother would come to her rescue. No safety from her life of hell… just the horror of living her life the way she had done for the past 10 years.
Tears started to form in her eyes. But it was too dark for Draco to notice.
"I came here to… to…" a tear fell down her cheek and it glistened in the firelight. This is when Draco noticed.
"Brittan…" Draco put his hand on her shoulder. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to!"
"But you should know…" Brittan said quietly.
"How about you tell me some other time… when it doesn't hurt you so much to talk about it!" Draco pulled Brittan to his side and wrapped both arms around her.
Brittan put her hands on his chest and started to cry.
"Shhhh… You don't have to tell me…" Draco held her tighter… feeling as though he had hurt her in some way.
"But you should know…" Brittan said…breaking free from Draco and staring him straight in the eyes. Her hands placed on Draco's chest to hold her up.
Draco put his hands on her wrists and looked into Brittan's watery eyes. "Not tonight… you don't have to tell me tonight!"
Brittan's lips quivered. She let herself fall into Draco… face buried in his masculine chest. He wrapped his arms around her once again and held her close.
"Everything will be okay… I won't let anything happen to you!" Draco said as he rubbed her back.
Brittan looked up into Draco's eyes once again. Tears streaming down her face. Her face pleading for help… pleading for understanding.
Draco's heart broke at that moment. 'Whatever happened to her… hit her hard and she won't forget it any time soon. God. She looks so pathetic like this. Nothing like she usually does. Like this she can't even insult me the way she did yesterday.' Draco thought to himself. 'She looks so troubled…'
"Draco… can I ask you something?"
"Of course you can…"
"Why… *sniff* did you break up with those girls so quickly?" Brittan asked… her tears starting to thin.
"Because they just wanted me for my looks and money." Draco said. "None of them really wanted me for me."
Draco bent down and kissed Brittan on the forehead. "You however… shouldn't worry about anything… just rest for a bit."
Brittan didn't understand what was happening. 'Rest… does he mean to sleep here all night? Well… I guess it would be better here than going back to my dorm and having to deal with Hermione asking questions… And…' She looked deep into Draco's eyes. 'Being here with Draco makes me feel safe. Safer than I have ever felt before. His strong-arms cradling me so…'
Brittan rested her head onto Draco lap and closed her eyes.
"There you go… just sleep. I won't let anything happen to you… Not as long as I'm here with you… you'll be safe!"
***
Brittan opened her eyes and found herself lying in a bed. No lights were on in the room… everything was quiet.
The sheets she was under were of silk and warm. Something warm lay by her back. An arm was draped over her side with an open palm. She turned over to her other side to see Draco sleeping peacefully. He had taken off his blue silk shirt and was in his pants and white T-shirt. His hair was no longer gelled back… it looked as if he had washed it out before he went to sleep.
His hair fell over his face… not messy… and not untidy. Brittan resisted the temptation to run her fingers through his hair… to see if it was as soft as it looked.
She stared at his peaceful face for some time.
And then it hit her… that annoying urge to go to the bathroom when you wake. She looked around the room slowly. Being careful not to shake the bed and wake Draco… and careful not to overlook the walls for a door to a bathroom.
She spotted an odd looking place on the wall.
She picked up Draco's hand from her side and got out of the bed… and placed his hand where it would have been if she hadn't lying there.
She quietly tiptoed to the part in the wall and felt around it. Trying to find a handle of some sort.
Her hand came across a cold piece of metal (A/N: remember… it is dark and she can't really see very well). She grasped it in her hands and twisted it in the opposite direction. It was a door.
The door creaked a bit as it opened. Brittan flinched and looked over to the bed where Draco laid. He hadn't moved… not even flinched.
She stepped into the room… cold tile was on the floor. She looked around to see shades of white and objects that suggested a bathroom.
***After her "business"***
Brittan splashed cold water on her face and shook it off. She squinted to see her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes were a tent of red and somewhat puffy. It had looked like she had been crying excessively. Which… from what she remembered from the night before… se had been.
She opened the door of the bathroom slowly… trying to make sure she wouldn't wake Draco.
"It's okay… I'm awake!"
Brittan opened the door quickly and saw Draco sitting upright on the bed. He smiled at her sweetly.
"You didn't do anything vile to me while I was sleeping last night did you?" Brittan said smiling.
"Oh… maybe?!" Draco said sarcastically.
Brittan smiled again and walked over to the bed and sat down next to Draco.
She didn't know what to say… or what to do. All she knew was that she hadn't been to her
dorm room all night and Hermione would probably be very suspicious of her absence last night.
"Draco…" Brittan said looking Draco in the face.
"Yes?" He asked as his eyes met hers.
"Would you happen to know what time it is?"
Draco looked at her for a moment… then looked at the wall to see a clock. Brittan couldn't read where the hands were… so she relied on Draco to say.
"It's about 6:00 a.m.!"
"Oh… we probably should be heading back to our dorms!"
"Why?"
"Because… we haven't been back all night… people will start to wonder!" Brittan said standing
up from the bed.
Draco stood up slowly and put his hands on Brittan's hips. "It's okay… you can just say you feel asleep in the library or something like that!"
Brittan looked Draco square in the face in protest.
"But if you really want to leave know…" Draco paused. "I'll take you back to your common room!" He took his hands from her hips and grabbed his blue shirt from off of the floor.
Brittan stood there… not knowing if she really wanted to go or not. But her senses got to her and decided she'd be better off leaving.
"So… do you want to go… or do you want to stay?"
"I think it be better if we left!" Brittan said.
"Okay then…"
Brittan heard the tone of his voice had changed. As if he didn't want to leave just yet. "Hey… maybe tonight you could show me around the school grounds?! We could talk more then!" Brittan said… trying to lighten his sprits.
Draco looked up and smiled. "I think I can arrange that!" He smiled again and put his shirt on.
Brittan smiled back and looked around. She found her shoes by the couch she and Draco had been sitting on last night and put them on.
When she looked from tying her shoes… she saw Draco waiting by an open door leading to a massive staircase. "Why didn't we just take this way down?"
"Because… I can never remember what picture frame it is behind!" Draco said as he smiled.
They walked up the staircase and through the empty corridors in silence.
When they got to the top of the flight of stairs leading to the Gryffindor common room; Brittan looked over at Draco. His face looked sad for some odd reason.
They got to the portrait of the fat lady and turned to each other.
"I'll see you tonight then…?" Draco said, his tone of voice somewhat hopeful.
"Meet me at the library after diner tonight!" Brittan said… remembering that the library was the only place she really knew how to get to.
"Why don't we just meet outside the Great Hall?"
Draco had a point. "Okay… I'll see you then!"
Draco smiled and nodded his head. But something about his stare made Brittan think that something was wrong. He turned around and faced the stairs. "I'll see you then."
"Wait!" Brittan said as she grabbed his arm lightly.
Draco turned around and looked her in the eyes. "Yes?"
Brittan couldn't find any words to come to what she wanted to say. So… instead of speaking… she put her arms around Draco's neck and lightly kissed him on the lips.
Draco's eyes widened then… closed. When Brittan broke away, he pulled her into his own kiss. His mouth pressed against hers… slowly and passionate. Brittan leaned into the kiss and into Draco's body.
There was no tongue… yet very sweet of a kiss. Brittan slowly broke away and stood back. "Thank you for last night!" She kissed his cheek and then turned to the portrait of the fat lady and uttered the password. She turned back to Draco and waved. Then threw the portrait hole she went.
Draco stood there. Not knowing what was coming over him. He didn't know why he longed to be with her longer. All he knew now was that he had to see her again tonight. Then he set off for the Slytherin Common Room… trying to figure out what he was going to do to pass the time for this Sunday to keep him sane until dinner.
***Gryffindor dorm rooms***
Brittan sneaked into her dorm room… trying not to make any noise. The door opened and creaked loudly. She flinched and stopped the door.
The door was suddenly pulled open from the other side and Brittan fell forward. She stopped her face from hitting the floor with her hands and looked up to find Hermione standing there with her hands on her hips.
"Where have you been?!" Hermione said as she pulled Brittan into the dorm room.
Brittan stumbled forward and fell into her bed. "Jeez…" She said as she rubbed her head.
"I was so worried about you… What happened?" Hermione said… changing her tone and sitting next to Brittan on her bed.
"I… um…" Brittan didn't know what to say. Then she remembered what Draco told her to say. "I was at the library last night and accidentally fell asleep!"
"Really?" Hermione said. "I went to the library to look for you… but didn't see you!"
Brittan gulped. She hadn't planed her to say this. "Well… you must have over looked me cause I was there!" Brittan said… trying to hold back the crack in her voice and the mental sweat.
"Probably…"
Brittan sighed in relief.
"Anyway… lets get ready for today." Hermione said as she stood up. "Today I am going to show you around the school!"
Brittan smiled and thought of dinner. After dinner she would be with Draco again. But then she thought of what happened outside. The kiss. What was she going to say to Draco when he asked why she had done it… "To make you feel better?" No… That would just make him think odd things….
***Slytherin Common Room***
Draco came into the common room smiling. Waiting for the night to hurry up and get there quicker. He walked over to the stairs whistling a happy tune until…
"DRACO!" a familiar voice yelled.
He whipped around to see Pansy running to him.
Before she threw her arms around him… he moved to the side and held his hands up so she wouldn't hug him.
"What do you want?" he said bitterly.
"I want to know where you were last night… I came looking for you during the party and you were no where to be found in the Slytherin Common Room." Pansy said as she put her hands on her hips. "Where were you?"
"It's none of your damn business where I was." He said coldly and started to walk up the stairs.
"Hey…" Pansy said in protest. "Why are you so fucking rude to me all of the time Draco?"
Draco sighed and looked back. "Because you are annoying as hell and don't get the hint that I don't like you and want nothing to do with you!"
Pansy looked up at Draco with hurt in her eyes.
For some reason unknown… the picture of Brittan's pleading face from last night came to Draco's mind. Tears streaming down her cheeks and her lips quivering. He shook his head and looked at Pansy. "I'm sorry… I've had a long night… I didn't mean it." Draco said… lying.
Pansy smiled again. "Then go get some sleep you doff."
Draco raised his eyebrow in protest of being called a doff. I mean…. Who uses that anymore…?
He smiled and continued to walk up the stair and slipped into his room.
He got to his room… he went to the bathroom and stripped of his close and got into the shower. (A/N: lol… Draco… Shower… *nibbles on finger* sexiness.)
He stood on the cold tile of the shower stall and let the steaming hot water fall over his slender, muscular body. Not knowing if he really was going to end up doing anything today besides daydream about the night ahead.
He ran his fingers threw his wet hair and shook the water from his face.
He got out of the shower and grabbed a towel. He walked into his dorm room to find Crabbe and Goyle snoring louder than a fucking train and rattling the windows.
He glared down at them but ignored it. (A/N: As hard as that may seem…)
He dressed himself quickly and fixed his hair so it was like it usually was… Slicked back and greasy looking. He shrugged and walked out of the dorm room.
Being that it was around 8:00 a.m. he headed to the great hall.
***Mean while in Brittan's dorm***
She went into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was a little messy… considering it had been down all night and hadn't brushed when she woke up. Her eyes weren't as red and puffy as they had been before… but still noticeable. She washed her face again and took off her shirt… due to the fact that she had got it wet.
She stared into the sink and Draco's face came to mind. His beautiful eyes staring straight at her. She closed her eyes and smiled. She would be with him later that night and maybe something might come to pass because of it. She grabbed a towel and dried her face and then opened the door of the bathroom and walked out.
Hermione was sitting in front of her makeup table, brushing her hair. She turned around and looked at Brittan. She had let her hair down… was dressed in her bra and baggy pants. She smiled and stood up from the seat she was sitting on.
She walked up to Brittan and pulled at the boxers that were sticking out.
"Hey…" Brittan said backing away.
"Not only do you dress like a guy… you wear their type of underwear too?" Hermione said as she was joking in a way.
"Yeah…" Brittan said… tucking the boxer's back under her pants. "Got a problem with it?"
Hermione smiled and shook her head.
"That's what I thought!" she said in a know-it-all voice.
Hermione raised her eyebrow. "Really?!" She grabbed a pillow and hit Brittan in the stomach with it.
"Oof." She glared at Hermione and grinned… kinda the way Draco does… but she didn't do it on propose. "That's how you like to play it huh?" Brittan grabbed a pillow from her bed and hit Hermione in the back of the head… messing up her freshly done hair.
They both laughed and began to have a friendly game of pillow fighting.
After about 15 minutes they stopped and laid down on Hermione's bed… feet still touching the floor but their backs completely flat on the bed. Laughing with each other and out of breath.
Hermione was the first to get up. She extended her hand to Brittan and she took it. Hermione pulled her to her feet and they both sighed catching their breath.
"I think you should get a shirt on…" Hermione said.
Brittan looked down at her chest and remembered that she hadn't put a shirt on. She went slightly red and walked over to her dresser.
Hermione sat back down at her Makeup table and started to brush her hair again.
Brittan grabbed a light blue T-shirt and slipped it over her head and grabbed a belt. She grabbed her hairbrush from her trunk and started to brush her hair.
When she finished brushing her hair… she dug around in her trunk to find her spare hair ties. She found a pack and took a creamy blue off of it and started to put her hair up. Tying the band on her hair at the bottom of her head.
She looked over to Hermione when she had finished and saw that she was playfully glaring at her.
"What?"
"You put it back up!" Hermione crossed her arms over her chest as she stood up from her seat.
"Yeah… I did…" Brittan said. "I'm so glad you can tell the difference." Brittan said sarcastically.
"Me too!" Hermione giggled. "But why… you look good with your hair down… you know that right?!"
Brittan stared at Hermione's face… then looked to the floor. "I don't like the attention I get from the guys when I wear it down Hermione." Brittan said in a long sigh. "That's why I wear the close I do… so the guys can't see my figure and so they don't give me a hard time!"
Hermione frowned. "But people give you a hard time because you look like a guy and you kinda act like a guy!"
"But I can deal with that kind of stuff!" Brittan said in her defense. "I can't however… handle guys that want to grab my ass every 5 seconds. And them talking smack about how they want to bang me!" Brittan said folding her arms over her stomach.
Hermione sighed and walked over to her and put her arms around her neck. "Sorry…"
Brittan smile and put her arms around her waist and completed the hug.
"Anyway…" Hermione backed away. "We should get going to breakfast. I heard that it was going to be really good today!" Hermione said and walked to the door.
Brittan nodded and followed her like a faithful puppy.
***
They got to the bottom of the staircase that leads from the great hall and found Draco about to walk into the hall.
Brittan blushed slightly and Hermione swore.
"Great… it's him." She said.
Brittan looked at her as if she had taken offense to the comment. Then Draco saw them both coming toward him and his posy of Slytherins.
"Good morning Gryffindors." Draco smiled slightly. "How was your night?!"
The Slytherins snickered behind him and pointed.
"Oh it was just lovely Draco…" Brittan said stepping forward… and winked at him catching no ones attention to it. "You should have been there… strip show and everything!"
Draco sneered. "Did you do any of it!"
"Sure did… Threw my pants to some boy…" She smiled mischievously.
"Damn…" Draco said.
Hermione looked from Draco to Brittan in total confusion and disgust. Then she caught onto what they were getting at. They were teasing each other.
"What the hell Draco…" one of the boys behind him said. "Why the fuck are you talking to mud-blood and… the cross-dresser?"
Draco glared back at him. "Just civilized conversation you dip shit!"
Brittan giggled at the remark and then Hermione took her by the arm. "If you don't mind… we have to leave. " Hermione said.
"Oh… be my guest." Draco said as he sneered and gestured his hand to the entrance to the Great Hall.
The two nodded and walked into the great hall with their arms linked together. They sat at the far end of the Gryffindor table like they had the day before. Harry and Ron were already there eating away and drinking their pumpkin juice.
They all ate breakfast in peace. Talking, laughing and making odd remarks to each other. Brittan had said something so funny it caused Ron to spit his pumpkin juice out and Harry to have his come out of his nose.
Brittan had just started to eat her yogurt when Glander swooped down and dropped and napkin on her plate that had writing on it.
She looked over to the Slytherin Table and saw Draco smiling at her. She smiled back and picked up the folded napkin.
She unfolded it and it read:
"Dear Brittan,
I am having a hard time waiting for night to fall… but I will do my best to hold out. But for some odd reason I miss you and want to talk to you in person now… but I will wait until diner for that. But you better be ready for the night of your life.
But I await the time in which we will meet next.
Love,
Draco"
Brittan smiled and grabbed a piece of paper from Hermione and borrowed her quill and wrote him a short note back. She gave Hermione her quill back and asked Ron if she could borrow Pig. He agreed and she sent the letter Draco.
When Pig got back to the table she looked at the Slytherin table to see Draco playfully glaring at her.
She just smiled back and continued eating her yogurt.
***Slytherin Table***
Pig flew away and Draco looked up to see Brittan peacefully eating yogurt. When Pig landed she looked straight at Draco and smiled.
He grinned and looked down at the folded piece of paper.
It read:
"Draco,
I feel the same way… But what they hell do you mean when you say,
"you better be ready for the night of your life."?
Oh well… if you plan on something along the lines of Sex… NO!… but just in case… wear a condom! ^_~
Anyway… can't wait to see you tonight.
Love,
Brittan"
He smiled at her remark and stuffed the letter into his pocket.
"Until tonight then…" Draco mutter to his self.
