Disclaimer: Once again, I own nothing dealing with Harry Potter or whatever it is that you know as J.K. Rowling's.
A/N: I hope that you all like this chapter, though I honestly do not know why I am continuing this story, since no one is actually really reading it anymore.
Malya was really getting tired of the whole arrangement. She could do nothing without someone constantly watching her. She couldn't even sleep in peace because she knew someone was watching her, more often than not a portrait on her wall. Even in her sleep, she was deeply troubled. She continually saw a cloaked figure coming towards her, hands stretched forward in an attempt to attack her once again.
Not only did she have to worry about her dreams and not being alone, but she also had to worry about the Halloween Ball that was to be in two days. She still had no date and she was in no hurry to have Grace find her a date. She trusted Grace to find someone, but on the off chance that she didn't want to go with the date, she didn't want to disappoint her.
It was a Wednesday now, and the last class of the day was History of Magic. Even though they simply had to read a few chapters, Malya just couldn't concentrate for more than a few minutes at a time. The subject was completely boring and she thought that the class just would never end.
"Psst, Malya," whispered Crystal from next to her.
"What?" Malya whispered back. She looked down to see that Crystal was trying to pass her a note, the old muggle way. Malya glanced at the professor to make sure that he was not looking and then quickly took the note when she thought it was safe. Unfolding the paper, she saw the words appear one by one.
'Do you still need a date for the Ball? If so, I suggest that you go with Draco.' Malya quickly scribbled something on it and passed it to her cousin. It said,
'Yeah, right. I might as well nail my tongue to the teacher's table in the Great Hall. Nice try, but I still don't think Draco trusts me completely.'
Crystal quickly scribbled on the paper and handed it back to her.
'It was his suggestion,' was all that it said. Malya just read it, blinked, and looked directly at Draco, who then looked back down at his work.
'Why not?' she wrote. 'I'm desperate!'
'Don't sound so enthusiastic,' was Crystals reply.

Malya made her way once again to her dormitory, having been able to escape from the careful watch of her cousin for the first time since being put under this kind of torture. She felt confident enough that she did not have to be watched. But this freedom could not last long, as her luck was more rotten than milk that was left out for a week.
"There you are," hissed Draco from behind her.
"Oh goody," mumbled Malya from under her breath. She stopped and turned around to face Draco.
"Where have you been? Crystal said that she was scared you had been kidnapped!" cried Draco.
"Yes, well, she tends to overact when it comes to things that aren't as big as you think," said Malya. "I swear, I'm fine. Tell her that she does not need to climb Mt. Wannahockaloogie!"
"Mt. What?" asked Draco.
"Never mind," sighed Malya, rolling her eyes. Apparently, he didn't even watch muggle movies, such as Finding Nemo!
"Just tell her that she has nothing to fear and that I shall talk to her tomorrow after classes are over, since we do not have any classes together." With that, Malya began to walk away, but then Draco appeared at her side.
"So, what is your answer for the Halloween Ball?" he asked coolly as they walked to their dorm.
"Didn't Crystal tell you?" asked Malya. But she went ahead and finished her thought before he could say anything. "I think it's a good idea," she lied. In fact, she thought a good idea was just going to the library and pretending not to exist, but she knew perfectly well that she would never be able to do that. Crystal would hex her and then Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore would both give her an hour long lecture, each, on how she should not be left alone when she could be attacked again.
"And, uh, why is it such a good idea?" asked Draco, curious. Sure, he thought it was a good idea, but he didn't expect her to think so.
"Because it'll give us a chance to prove once and for all that when we're together, we won't be attacked," said Malya simply. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to finish my costume."
"Making, your costume?" inquired Draco.
"Yes, you see, I always make my costumes," said Malya. "That way, I can be sure to get it just the way I like it." With that, she continued on her way to the dorm that she shared with Draco and they didn't see each other until dinner that night.
A/N2: Is anyone interested in this at all? Just curious. If not, I'm thinking of not writing it anymore.
