Chapter 13:

Raine just stared down at her notebook, she didn't know what to do. She was torn between two possibilities: One- showing her work to Draco so he could ridicule her even more, Two- risking him dropping it in the fire, destroying her memories of the last four years.

"Fine." she said, making her decision, as she walked over to the couch, then patted the space next to her. "Sit and I'll show it to you ."

Draco, apprehensively, walked over and sat next to her, "I'm holding the book." he said firmly, for he wanted to see her work and was as sure as hell that given the chance, she would snatch it away and hide it.

"That's fine." Raine reached over and opened the cover. "This is the first picture I ever drew. Its of my mum." Raine examined his expression as he looked at the picture, and classified it as disappointment.

"Its not very good." he said, trying to tread lightly on her ego, but not willing to risk his own.

"What do you expect, I was 12." Raine snapped, becoming defensive. Raine continued to flip through the book, explaining who or what was in each picture. The majority were of the places she knew from her childhood and of her friends from Salem's. Draco's insults of her work lessened as they got further in the book.

"Who's that?" Draco asked when she turned the page to a man with shoulder length black hair.

"My father." Raine informed him.

"Looks an awful lot like Snape." Draco said, "Only 20 years younger."

"You think?" Raine asked, trying to hide the fact that it actually was Snape.

There were about 15 more pictures of Raine's father, some containing Raine's mother. It was not long before Draco's curiosity got the better of him, "Snape is your father." he stated.

"What?...No..." Raine said, trying to sound shocked.

"He is, I know it."

"No, he's not!" Raine need to convince him that Snape wasn't her father. She didn't want anyone to know she was related in any way to that jackass.

"Your not a good liar."

"I'm not lying." Raine lied.

"We'll see about that when we're done." Draco said as he made to turn the page, but before he could do so Raine slammed her hand on the page, "That's all there is."

"No, there's more, I saw it." Draco stated, wondering what she didn't want him to see.

Raine, obviously defeated, slumped back into the couch as Draco turned the page. His face quickly turned to her. "You drew me!?" Draco said, quick shocked and amazed. Raine nodded, but couldn't bring herself to look at him.

"Why?" Draco demanded.

"Don't.... your not the only one here I've drawn... just turn the page." Raine stood and walked up the fireplace, placed one hand on the mantle and rested her head on the back of her hand.

Draco placed the book, open, on the couch and walked to Raine's side. "It's very good." Draco said.

"Yea, right. Why don't you say what you really think of it." Raine spat.

"I'll prove it to you..." Draco said, then walked away downstairs.

Raine watched him disappear all the while thinking %Way to prove it you fuckin moron!% her mind screamed. She knew she had been a fool to let him see her work, but she could have just let four years of work burn into ashes…

Raine walked back over to the couch, picked up the book and examined the picture she had drawn.

%Its awful!!!!% Raine thought, but then again, she had always been her own worst critic. She slammed the book shut and went to put in her bag, frustrated at herself.

"I'm not finished with that yet." Draco said as her walked towards her.

"And I care?" Raine snapped.

Draco grabbed her wrist, "Sit.."

"Don't tell me what to do, and don't touch me!" she said as she pulled her wrist out of his grasp, which wasn't firm at all.

"If you want to know what I really think then sit." Draco sat down.

Raine sighed and rolled her eyes, but sat anyways.

Draco held up two vials, one in black and one in white. "Truth Serum...." He said holding out the black one. "One drop and the taker is forced to answer all questions truthfully until the antidote if given..." he held out the white one.

"I don't think so!" Raine exclaimed.

"What do you have to lose? unless, of course, your afraid I'll find out the truth about something you have lied about."

"Or maybe you just want to find out something to use against me, because your insults don't work on me, because I am not afraid of you."

"Nothing we say will leave this spot, this moment..."

"And you expect me to believe you? Manipulation comes with being placed in Slytherin. I'm not as stupid as you may want to think!"

"Then I will take it first, and that can be your first question." Draco uncorked the vile and place a tiny droplet on the tip of his tongue. Sighing, she asked him the first question,

"Will you ever repeat a single word that is spoken while I am under this potion?" Raine asked finding this all incredibly dumb.

"No" Draco said, almost zombie like.

"Do you really like my art?"

"Yes. Its very creative, and nearly perfect."

"Why do you act the way you do?"

"Because this is the way that a Malfoy is to act." She was a bit surprised at this answer, but continued,

"Why do you hate Kayleigh?"

"Because she rejected me. She chose Blaise over me."

"Why do you hate me?" Raine asked.

"You keep getting the better of me in front of people, and you make me look like an ass."

"Oh..." Raine almost felt bad for how she treated Draco, ALMOST. So she decided to change the game a bit. "Do you find me attractive?" she smiled seductively, wondering if Draco knew what she was doing.

"Yes." Draco said.

Raine smiled on the inside, and her heart beat quickened a notch. "Did you like it when I touched you this morning?"

"Yes."

"Do you like me in a romantic sort of way?"

"Sometimes."

"Why?"

"Because you intrigue me."

Raine placed a drop of the antidote on his tongue, watching him with interest the whole time.

"Your turn...." Draco said when he returned to normal.
