She pulled away slightly, "Oh, how sweet, Zabini."
He looked at her eyes as the sparked in the moonlight, "I try," then he leaned in and kissed her again, letting his lips rest on hers.
He felt her shiver and he wasn't sure if it was from the kiss or she was cold. He starred at her face, she shivered again, this time he knew she was cold. He took off his jacket and through it over her shoulders.
She smiled warmly at him.
"This tux stuff isn't my thing," he said as he loosened his tie and undid his cuffs. "Now that is better."

The next few weeks went by in a blur; the professor's were giving out more homework than necessary. If Alexis wasn't in the library or the Common Room doing homework, she was at Quidditch practice. The little other time she had; was spent hanging around with Blaise. They usually spent Saturday nights roaming around the castle. And on Sunday's the hour or so before supper, Alexis spent sitting up in the Owlrey enjoying the view. Sometimes she stayed up there through supper and into the evening. At first neither Blaise nor Draco were sure where she disappeared to, but there were rumors going around, for supposedly whenever you went up to the Owlrey you were sure to find that Stanford girl sitting in the open windows.
Blaise and Draco had each only asked her once why she spent all that time up there, and she answered both with, "The view is gorgeous and I can clear my head."
Three weeks after the ball the Slytherin's had their first Quidditch match against, Hufflepuff, the second game of the season. They easily defeated them 220 to 40. Alexis scored four of the seven shots. Andrew had made the other 3 goals, Adrian had been just there for purposes no one was quite sure of, but according to Pansy (they had been going out sense the ball) "He was WONDERFUL". Ally had been a little flustered, that being her first game, but she had still done a great job defending the goals. Draco had managed to catch the snitch in 20 minutes, so it was a pretty fast moving game.
They celebrated back in the Common Room, recapping the whole game. Alexis wondered if it was always such an important thing that they celebrated like this. She had found the team to be quite easy and it wasn't a hard win.

Alexis sat shivering in the Owlrey. It was the 2nd week of November, and cold had finally set in, not to mention that is was 8 o'clock at night. She sat there cold, but unwilling to move.
:-:-:
It was Saturday, and down below, Blaise and Draco were just coming in from out messing around on the Quidditch field.
Draco was walking back to put his broom in the boys dormitory, when he over heard a 3rd year girl say, "Yeah Alex just came back from the Owlrey and he said that the Alexis girl from the Quidditch team, was sitting up there again. He said she looked like she was freezing but she just sat there, he thought she was going to jump." Draco spun around already heading to the door. He heard a little more of what the girl said, "She never talked to anyone, I always kind of wondered . . ."
He shot out the trapdoor and ran up to the Owlrey broom in hand. He hadn't taken it back to his dormitory yet when he heard that girl talking. And as he ran, he though that if she was to jump it might just come in handy.
:-:-:
Alexis sat with her feet hanging over the edge of the window, dangling in thin air. Just then she heard the door the Owlrey slam open. This scared her and during her jump, and trying to turn around to see who it was, she butt slipped of the ledge.
She fell into nothingness, her back towards the ground.
Things raced through her mind who was it, why did she try to turn around? Then within spilt seconds of her leaving the ledge, someone on a broom had popped out of the window opening, and was racing down towards her.
At first it was a blur, but they she could start to make out a face. She didn't scream, she just looked, it was Malfoy.
Things began the race through her mind again, was she going to live through this?
His arm was outstretched, he was flying at top speed towards her, get closing, but so was the ground.
He finally reached her, she got his hand. Her arm was yanked and it came out of the socket, a searing pain went through her shoulder. All she thought was, "I just have to hold on."
Draco wrapped his legs around his broom and let go with the other hand. He reached out and grabbed her second hand, and began to pull her up. She slipped slightly but he got a hold of her and she swung her leg over the front of the broom. She sat the facing him. Tears started to fall down her cheeks; she leaned forward, on his shoulder.
They sat there for what seemed like ever, Alexis's head on his shoulder. He said nothing to her, but he put his arms around her.
Finally she pulled away slightly and looked up at him.
He looked at her face; there were tears that clung to her eyelashes.
"Thank you," she said.
He looked at her, she looked so innocent and he couldn't help but lean in and kiss her. Seconds later he pulled away. She looked up at him.
"I'm sorry, I forgot about you and Blaise," he said.
"We are just friends, nothing is going on between us," she said calmly, "We figured why cheat ourselves of other things." She leaned against his chest, for the first time looking around. They were but 20 yards from the ground, she realized once again how close she had come to death.
Malfoy let the broom start to float upward. When they came close to the Owlrey once again, Alexis asked Draco the question that had been on her mind.
"Why exactly did you come running up her in the first place . . . and with a broom?"
He realized that he would have to tell her that he had doubted what she said. He began slowing, "Blaise and I were coming back from messing around and the Quidditch pitch and I walked past a girl talking on the way to put my broom away." By now they had went through one of the windows and Draco was now helping her off his broom. "She was saying something about you being up her and it looked like you were going to jump."
"How many times do I have to tell you 2, that I'm just up her the clear my head. I wouldn't have fallen in the first place if you hadn't came barging in here, and scared that shit out me," she said walking away from him towards a window, her hand on her shoulder.
"Yes, I know," Draco said leaning his broom against the wall, "I'm sorry, I should have never doubted you," he place his hand on her shoulder touching her hand. She winced with pain, as she turned around. "What is it?" he asked.
"Just my shoulder, I think I pulled it out of socket when I grabbed your hand," she said as she bit her tongue.
She was wearing a boat neck, slate grey sweater, which made it easy for Draco to slide it over her shoulder to see if she dislocated it. Her arm hung to the side father down the normal. He pulled his wand from her cloak, "Locashia Conjoinima." Her arm slipped back into place. "Move it, see if there is a pinched nerve," he said concentrating on her shoulder.
Alexis swung around in a full circle forwards and backwards, she felt no pain. She turned away from him.
He felt as if she was mad at him, "Listen I'm sorry I didn't mean to . . ."
"I'm not mad at you," she said solemnly starring out onto the grounds. She just stood there starring, Draco didn't know whether to stay or leave. She said nothing, so he headed to get his broom; she turned and looked at him. He turned and looked at her one last time before he left, she stood there shivering. He took of his cloak, walked over and put it over shoulders. That is when she leaned in and kissed him, putting her arms around him. He wrapped his arms around her, still holding on to his broom.
He leaned back, "Want to go for a ride?"
She smiled tenderly, "Sure."
He slipped onto his broom. His cloak of which she was wearing dragged on the ground as she took a step and hopped on his broom.
"Where to?" he turned around and asked.
"Surprise me."
