Dre crashed on a couch. It had a sign on the arm that said Dre's couch. Nobody else sat there.

"Comfortable?" Malfoy asked.

"Yup," She said ignoring him.

"Figured out the Gryffindor common room password for this year yet?" He asked.

"And if I knew I wouldn't tell you," She snapped.

"Fine," He said starting to sulk. "You've got stars in your eyes, who'd you meet?" He asked suspiciously.

"This really hot guy. He's tall, got dark brown eyes, dark brown hair, and he's super nice," She said grinning.

"Sounds like... A Gryffindork!" he said grinning.

"You got it," She said. "Well, actually I'm not sure, I couldn't tell," She said.

"You couldn't look at his robes?" He asked incredulously.

"Nope!" She said grinning.

"Your crazy!" He said smiling himself. "It just so happens, that I have a girlfriend now," He said grinning.

"You asked that girl from Ravenclaw out?" Dre said smiling.

"You said to Broaden my horizons!" He said lamely.

"Your hopeless," She said smiling.

"You got," He said grinning. Dre and Malfoy started talking some more.

"Hey Malfoy, who is this Ravenclaw chick anyways?" Dre asked grinning.

"You've met her Anna Charlton. But I don't know how she'll last," Draco admitted. Dre grinned.

"Ravenclaws are usually flippant," Dre said.

"And I was kidding by the way. I don't have a girlfriend... She denied my request," Draco said

"And I was lying about the cute whoever... There aren't any cute guys here," Dre said.

"Hey!" Draco said. Dre laughed.

"I'm kidding Draco Draco got up and looked out the window.

"Want to go for a walk?" Draco asked. Dre smiled.

"Alright," Dre said. Draco helped her up, and grabbed His sweatshirt, as Dre grabbed her sweater. The walked arm in arm down onto the grounds. They started to circle the castle. The snow crunched under their feet, and the air was frigid around them. The stars were clear and bright. Dre shivered.

"I should have brought something heavier," Dre said. Draco put his arm around her.

" Don't freeze," Draco said grinning. He gave her a kiss on the top of her head. Dre grinned... Then suddenly it became awkward. Dre broke apart from Draco.

"I'm sorry... it just became awkward," Dre said shivering. Draco pulled out his wand and muttered something. Something black came flying out of the castle. It was another one of his sweatshirts. He gave it to her. Dre smiled and slipped it on. Draco smiled.

"Just your color," Draco said. Dre smiled, and hit him playfully on the shoulder.

"Come on," Draco said, "I want to show you something," Draco said. Dre let Draco take her hand and lead her around the castle. They were out of breath by the time they got there. Dre smiled.

"What is it Draco?" Dre asked. Draco pulled her in through a small opening. Dre slipped through easily.

"What is..." Dre started. It was amazing. The ceiling of this room magnified the night sky, like a huge telescope you didn't have to look through... The detail was amazing, the planets were all visible.

" Do you like it?" Draco asked. Dre was speechless.

" Draco this is amazing!" Dre exclaimed. Draco put his arm around her again.

"Will you go out with me?" He whispered. Dre smiled.

"Are you sure?" Dre asked pulling herself away. "Our parents hate each other," Dre said. Draco smiled.

"I'm positive. Absolutely sure," Draco said.

"And if we break up we'll still be best friends," Dre replied.

"Yes, I'll make sure of it," Draco said. Dre grinned.

"Yes I will go out with you. But it has to be hush hush," Dre said. Draco nodded.

"And I know the perfect way to keep it like that," Draco said pulling her into a hug... he kissed her.

"That aught a do it," Dre said, they both smiled and gazed at the planets.

"You know how to make the perfect date," Dre said. Draco smiled and kissed her on the head again. Dre smiled. It was going to be a wonderful Christmas.

Dre walked down the marble steps and saw a few Gryffindor's crowding around a notice board. Suddenly curious she walked down to the notice. She couldn't see, as she was just about shorter than everyone else there. She saw Ronald Weasly.

"Hey Weasly, what's it say?" Dre asked. Ron grinned.

"Hogsmead weekend, who you going with?" Ron asked.

"Dunno yet. I think I may ask Draco," Dre said.

"Draco? Since when did you two get along?" Ron asked laughing.

"You obviously don't pay very much attention!" Dre said. Ron laughed.

"Well, I will be now! Take care," Ron said, walking off with Hermione and Harry.

"You take care of yourself Ron Weasly," Dre said grinning. Ron turned around.

"Hey if you don't go with him, maybe you wanna come with us?" Ron asked. Dre laughed.

"No Ron, you wouldn't be flirting," Dre said.

"NO!" Ron called, as he got further away. Dre laughed.

"Alright, your on Gryffindork," Dre said grinning. Ron laughed, and turned the corner. Draco was coming down the stairs. He raised his eyebrows, winked at her, and then slipped into an empty classroom. Dre grinned and followed.

"What?" Dre asked.

"Going with Ron to Hogsmead?" He asked.

"I told him, if you didn't wanna come with me," Dre said.

"Actually that'll be perfect if you go with him. It's a cover," Draco said.

"I'm not going to use him," Dre said.

"I know, your not like that. I don't see why..." Draco started.

"We have to keep this secret? Hello! Duh, our parents hate each other, and Professor Snape won't have any problems telling them," Dre said.

"Hey, maybe this won't work then," Draco said. Dre looked at him.

"Rewind," Dre said.

"Listen, we both like each other a lot, but I don't mind waiting," Draco said. Dre didn't say anything.

"Sorry, I was just surprised," Dre said. Draco exhaled.

"Ok, it's a secret, we'll keep it up for a while," Draco said. Dre smiled.

"If you don't want to, we don't have to," Dre said.

"Well which is it?" Draco asked, slightly exasperated. Dre walked over to him, and out her arms around his neck giving him a kiss.

"Lets try this for a while longer," she said winking. Draco grinned.

"Alright. I have to go, I'll see you later," Draco said. Dre grinned.

"Hey, don't forget the meeting," Dre said.

"I know, we can floo together," He said, and he stepped out of the classroom.

"Enjoying yourself?" Pansy said walking in. Dre grinned.

"As a matter of fact I am," Dre said.

"So your dating Draco," Pansy said. Dre raised her eyebrows,

"Not really," Dre said. "We're trying something," Dre said. Pansy laughed coldly.

"You're a witch," Pansy said.

"Actually I am," Dre said.

"Never mind. Consider it a challenge. Let's see who wins Draco over," Pansy said.

"I don't want to do that," Dre said.

"Why not? Because you'll know you'll loose?" Pansy said.

"No, because he's not a prize to be won," Dre snapped, and she strode out of the classroom.

"It's a contest then!" Pansy hollered after her. Dre turned around.

"Watch it Pansy, I'm the last person you want to get angry," Dre shouted. She turned on her heel, and strode out of the castle. Hogsmead wouldn't come soon enough.
