hey all! I was experiencing a bit of a writers block, but hey I mean.....oh well Chapter 2: An Unexpected Ex Elle woke up the next morning refreshed and feeling so wonderful...until she saw Jocelyn...she was poking herself in the nose while saying "Squishy, squishy". Elle rolled her eyes and went to the bathroom. After a soothing shower, she went back to the dorm room and prepared for her exhilarating schedule. She put on her clothes which were the regular uniform: black cloaks a white shirt and a skirt. While doing her hair into a simple ponytail, she thought about the night before with Draco; and remembered how tender he spoke and acted towards her, she couldn't imagine him ever being anything but a kind-hearted man. Hermione walked in with a towel upon her head... unwrapped her towel to reveal her curly hair. Jocelyn came up and pulled the ringlets while saying "Boing! Boing!" Hermione rolled her eyes and went back to doing her hair. "I had such a great time with Harry Pooper last night cookies!" she said to Hermione and Elle. Elle and Hermione exchanged looks. "First of all, it's Harry Potter...second...you did?" Hermione said performing a charm to straighten her hair. "Yeah! He is such a sweetheart! You can have Ronnikins! Harry asked if I wanted to go steady anyway!" Jocelyn said. "Well we just might have to talk to him won't we Elle." Hermione said, brushing her now glossy hair. "I guess so!" Elle said. Elle and Hermione were now doing their makeup, when they heard Jocelyn looking at the carpet exclaming "WOOOOOOOOOW!" "What?" said Elle, studying the carpet. "This carpet is the spitting image of Marilyn Monroe!" she said with a smile, "See there's the mole!" Elle and Hermione cracked up and put their makeup cases away. Suddenly, they heard a knock upon the door. "Come in!" Hermione said, sensing that it was Ron! "Good morning sweet!" said Ron to Hermione, as he reached over and gave her a peck on the lips. "Good morning." Elle said to Ron. A minute later Draco shuffled in. "Hello!" Elle said as she reached over and gave him a friendly hug, "Thanks again for the great time last night!" "Oh it was my pleasure indeed." he said. Draco today, had his hair parted to the side, but it was gelled and was in clumps, a very good look for him. Then Harry filed in, and when Jocelyn saw him she said "OH MY POOPER SCOOPER HAS RETURNED!!!" "Holy sh!t, Potter, she already has a pet name for you!" Ron said to Harry. "Yeah, Harry, maybe she could take you to the park, Pooper Scooper! That way you can make yourself useful!" Draco said as everyone laughed. Harry ignored them and looked at Jocelyn. "C'mon lets get to class." Elle said taking Draco's arm. "Oh don't say the "C" word!" said Ron as he laced his hand with Hermione's. Although it was hard for Draco to get up the courage, he casually took Elle's hand. He cupped his hand with hers and she looked at him and smiled. "So Harry, are you really going out with Jocelyn?" Hermione asked, knowing Jocelyn didn't understand a full sentence. "Yes, I know she is not much to talk to, but look at her! She's gorgey!" Harry said whispering. "Oh you are so shallow!" Hermione replied. "Pooper scooper, will you give me a piggy back ride?" Jocelyn asked with puppy dog eyes. "Course, babe!" said Harry as he picked her up. Ron rolled his eyes and looked at him. He then whispered something to Draco. They both came up to Harry with girly walks. "Malfoy walfoy, will you please throw yourself off a cliff!" Ron said in a high pitched voice, batting his eyes. "OH OF COURSE HONEY BUNNY!" Draco said also with a squeaky voice as he jumped, fell, and pretended to die. Everyone cracked up except for Harry and Jocelyn. "I see you are getting along with Draco." Hermione said as she nudged Ron. "Yeah, well, me and him talked for a long time last night, and we aren't best friends yet, but we are friends." Ron whispered. They came to the main hallway, and saw a man with black hair and silver eyes at the bulletin board. Realizing that this was her ex, Chase, Elle panicked. "Uhhhh, why don't we go through the back way Draco?" she asked, looking at his blue eyes. "Why?" Draco asked. But it was too late. "Ellewyn!" Chase called. Elle reluctantly turned around and said. "Chase..." Draco let go of her hand and took a few steps back, feeling discouraged. "I haven't seen you since this summer." Chase said, looking at Elle like she was a million dollars. "Yeah I didn't think that you got accepted here." Elle said nonchalantly. "Well my father called and bitched to Timbuktu." he said. Chase was a good-looking guy. Tall, not muscular, but black hair and silver eyes. "Way to keep your honor." said Ron sarcastically. "So who are you're friends?" he asked giving Draco a horrible look. "Oh and I am, Chase, Ellewyn's boyfriend." he said as he put his arm around Elle. "Look, first off, you are not my boyfriend! We broke up remember!" she said, throwing his arm off. "This is Hermione and her fiance Ron, this is the infamous Harry Potter, and his steady Jocelyn," she said pointing them out, "and this," she paused grabbing Draco's hand and lacing it, "is Draco Malfoy." Chase looking hurt said, "Nice to meet you all." looking at everyone but Draco. "I'll see you around, Ellewyn." Elle rolled her eyes and kept holding Draco's hand. "Sorry about that," she said, smiling as she looked into Draco's eyes. "It's perfectly alright." He said, as he put his other hand onto the hand that was already holding hers *sorry that was weird*,"But that was awkward as hell." "Tell me about it," Ron said "What a stuck-up sh!t!" Hermione slapped him. "SORRY JEEZ!" "Come on lets get to class!" Harry said. ~*~ "Gosh I am so glad that it is lunch period!" Hermione said, "Do you wanna eat outside?" "Sure!" Elle said as she sat beneath a Japanese Dogwood. "Oh crap!" Hermione exclaimed looking at her watch, "I forgot I have to go meet Ron! I'm sorry!" "It's ok, I wanted to catch up on my book anyway!" Elle said smiling. She could not believe what Chase did to her today! She was afraid that Draco did not take any interest into her now! Chase was an overbearing person. Chase asked marriage out of her, but she wanted to live, to have wings. And because she refused his offer, he hit her!. Suddenly she saw Chase approach her. "Well speak of the piece of crap!" she thought. "Hey." he said nervously. "Hello." she replied in an annoyed tone, her attention focused completely on her book. "Can I ask you a question?" he asked, kneeling down to her level. "Depends." "Are you dating that goth Malfoy freak?" he asked snobbishly. "First off, he is not a freak and he is not a goth! Second, why would you care if were dating?" she asked slamming down her book. Chase shrugged, "Well, if you are not, will you please date me?" "Chase, ITS OVER! You hear? OVER! Chase, I didn't want to get married and I didn't want to break up either, UNTIL you HIT ME! And I will have nothing to do with men who hit me." Elle replied, feeling heat form onto her cheeks. "But I still love you Elle." he said with tears in his eyes. "Well thats just too damn bad isn't it? After you hit me you held a gun to my head Chase, not a wand but a GUN! And I know it was out of anger...but I didn't want to spend the rest of my life wondering if I was going to be shot and killed for saying the wrong thing. You just took it way beyond extremes." she said. Chase's tears quickly turned to anger and he said, "You were the best thing that I had. And I WILL have you, if it's the last thing I EVER do!" he said. Elle rolled her eyes and returned to her book. At the sight of this, Chase flung back his clinched arm to strike her, but when he let go he felt something stop him. "I saw this happen to my mother too many times. And this time, I am going to have the courage to stop it." Draco said, blocking Chase's hand. Chase grabbed his bag and left in a rage. Draco stroked Elle's cheek and said, "Are you alright?" "Yes, yes I'm fine, just a bit flustered." She said, meeting his hand on her cheek, "Look, Draco, he's my ex. I don't like him, and I am sorry that this is all to happen on the second day and I am sorry if I am going to fast. But most of all I wanted to apologize for you having to witness this." she said. "No don't be, it's fine. And you are not taking things too fast."he said, wiping a tear off her cheek. "Thank you. For protecting me." Elle said, putting her book into her bag. "No it was nothing. I have stood aside and watched my mother get beaten too many times, and I don't want to witness a fine woman like you get beaten down. It was time for me to take a stand." Draco said. Although she was unsure, Elle brushed back the hair that was in his eyes and returned it to the part. "Would you like to go out on a date with me tonight? Just you and me?" he said, his hand still on her cheek. "That would be great." she said, her frown turning into a smile. "OK. We will do whatever you want to do." he said, as a flower from the Japanese Dogwood fell into his lap. Elle took the flower and put it behind her ear. "I'll pick you up at your dorm at 8:30," he said as smiled at her childish ways. "Thanks again." she said. She could not stop looking into his eyes, no matter what she did. She slowly edged toward his face and lightly kissed him on the lips. "I'll leave you to your book," he said when they let go of the kiss. "No. Stay with me, read it with me." she said as he sat down with his legs in front of him, and she scooted back and sat on his lap. Yet, Draco didn't read the book, he was enjoying the feeling of her, the smell of her, and of being loved.
