Blonde hair swished back and forth as it's owner paced back and forth in his dorm. How could he have been so cruel to her? And then to find out she went to the infirmiry to have Madam Pomfrey wake her up from a concussion?!...the concussion he caused. Draco clenched his jaw. She should've listened! She shoudl've just done what he wanted her to do and leave him alone! Grey eyes look outside into the dark, rain-filled clouds. If he believed that, why did his heart jump when she looked at him, as if only for him? Why did he feel weighed down with unimaginable guilt because he had struck her? Why did he love her?
Draco blinked innocently a few times seeing his reflection in the window...wait...he loved her?
Star laughed at her friend yelling and screaming at everyone who came near her in the common room. Rabekuh had woken up to find herself to be color charmed. The raven-haired Griffyndor had prided herself in the silver streaks that combed through her hair, that were only visible when the light hit her hair just right. Since both she and Star had wanted to be in Slytherin, Rabekuh had walked with pride showing off her "slytherin" hair color. But when she woke this morning, she found her streaks much brighter and noticable....and gold. Her brilliant silver streaks, her only relation to Slytherin House had been replaced by a bright gold, clearly Griffyndor colors. Since no one had a clue of who had done it, Rabkeuh had decided to yell at everyone in hopes to get to the one who had inflicted the horrible colors on her.
"Rabekuh! Calm down! It's not the end of the world!" Star tried to yell at her friend while laughing...it didn't had the intended effect.
"You're laughin' at me! You insolant! You ar' supposed to be my friend!"
"I am your friend, you brooding witch!" Star managed to calm down her laughing but the grin was still there, "I'll go look for the counter charm while you go to your meeting with Professor McGonagall. Unless I see you in the liabrary afterwards, I'll meet you at the Quidditch pitch."
Before Rabekuh could argue, Star was out the of the common room and racing forth liabrary. Laughing quietly, the red head twirled a tendril of her silky hair around her finger while looking in the Charms section of the liabrary. She visibly winced as she accidently brushed the bruise on her cheek. Surprisingly enough she smiled, she had made Draco realize he couldn't get rid of her by trying to get her to hate him. Air flew out of her lungs when she felt a pair of extrememly strong arms wrap around her waist from behind forcing her to drop the book she held.
The stranger turned her around forcibly and pressed his lips to hers, starting a harsh and passionate dance between the two. The man's tongue traced Star's lips only to dart inside and battle with her tongue gaianing her acceptance. Star's hands managed to break free and her fingers found themselves wrapping and weaving through thick shoulder-length hair, her eyes opened dreamily to his blonde hair.
".....Draco...." she murmued softly against his lips, when the kiss deepened dramatically answered what she already knew.
His voice broke when he broke away from her calming the electricity the crackled between them, "I'm so sorry." He wrapped his powerful Quidditch honed body around her's in a tight embrace filled with emotion.
"Sshh. There's nothing to apologize for, Draco."
"Yes there is. Look what I did to you...." he strong hand brushed her bruises making her wince in pain, "Can this even work between us...?"
"It 'ad better, Malfoy."
The couple turned to see Rabekuh Delacour standing at the front of the corridor to the Charms section. Her smirk told Star she'd felt all the conflicting emotions coming from Star beating through the castle and had come to her aid. A soft blush became visible on Star's cheeks even though they all stood in a darkened area in the Liabrary.
"Did you even find the Counter C'arm?"
Star smiled and tried to get out of Draco's arms, who only tightened them around her more. Mock-rolling her eyes, Rabekuh picked up the fallen book and handed it to Star who quickly turned to her last page, "Hmm...let's see.....Oh let's try this one."
"Wait!....Try?" Sea Green turned a panicked ocean blue.
Star tried reaching for her wand, "Draco..I can't get to my wand with you holding me like this."
"That's your problem, not mine," he countered with a mischevious grin.
Trying to scowl, and failing miserably, she reached into his pockets, gaining a shocked look from him at where her hand went, and pulled out his wand. Pointing it at Rabekuh she said clearly and proudly, "Abekobe."
While unsure, her fellow griffyndor didn't flinch a muscle as she was enveloped in a dark blue light. As it faded, Star watched hopefully and laughed when she saw that her friends hair was once again black.
"Come on, see if my 'air is silver again."
"Lumos"
The gift of light assured Rabekuh that her silver streaks were indeed back. Grabbing the two entangled love birds she raced them out of the Liabrary, "You, Draco, 're supposed to be at the "Quidditch pitch. And we, Sta'hr, are supposed to be in the stands."
Draco stole his girl away from Rabekuh briefly to steal another heartstopping kiss, "Cheer for me."
Smiling brightly she watched him run knowing he was late for the match and only she heard her whisper, "....always."
