YEA!!!!! I'm soo happy!!! Don't ask me why!! I just am!! We got let out of school early yesterday! Thank you Snow Mizer!! I went over to Cait's at like twelve thirty and hung out with her and Jen! The three of us haven't been able to hang together in soo long!! We spent a few hours watching Inu Yasha, thanks to me, we read a few different manga's and had a good time. Then we went for a walk in the snow!! After we walked around for a while we went to Jenny's because she needed to get her mail. We talked about different stories we were writing and our different story ideas then we went back outside to take another walk. When we finally had enough of the cold we went back to Jenny's and drank tea. We always drink tea or hot cocoa after we take a walk. While we drank we talked about what we wanted to be and what we could never be. Then we decided what we couldn't see each other being. They said that they couldn't see me as anything dealing with any religion. Then they said that I couldn't be one of those monks that take a vow of silence. It was such a funny conversation!! We had such a good time. But after that we had to look for Cait's dog Nippers. So we had to go for another walk. After the dog was found (in Cait's room) we still kept walking. When we finished with that we went back to Jenny's (anyone see a pattern?). Of course Second Dad aka Jen's dad, being the nice guy that he is, bought us pizza!! We ate that as we watched TV. But when we finished we had to go home. So we walked back to Cait's so I could pick up my things and Jen's dad took me home. It was around nine. I had such a good time though!! I can't wait until we get back together!! Just the three of us!!
Duo: Wow.. that's one big paragraph..
Aloh: Yes well.. I didn't feel like being grammicly correct...
Duo: Obviously.. Grammicly isn't a word…
Aloh: It is now!! I like it!!
Shido: I likes.. MUFFINS!!!!!!!!
Aloh: *throws a rubber muffin* GO BOY!! FETCH!!!
Shido: *runs after it* *THUD!!!*

Duo: Especially not the wall on the opposite side of the room the ball is...
Das: Aww.. is my widdle Shido hurt? Aww...
Aloh: Hey Das, why aren't you tormenting Alton?
Feytaloney: *flies in* Alton is busy with Joshko.
Das: *mumbling* They're alone together you'd think they're-
Aloh: Uht hmm... That's not something to say. I don't think Alton is um *coughcough* "emotionally" capable of that... If you get my meaning... 'Sides, I don't know if J is that way...
Das: *evil smile* I can make it so...
Aloh: *glare* You stay away from them! Alton needs this ally and J isn't mine! I have to get him back to Andrea in one piece!
Das: *sulking* Fine.
Duo To Feytaloney: I think Das is a little upset that she can't torment them both.
Feytaloney: *nods*
Aloh: Now if you wouldn't mind *hiccup* I have work to do. *shooing them away*
Das: *smiling* Are you drunk?
Aloh: Course not!! I just have hiccups! *hick*
Das: Hey! Aloh's drunk!!
Feytaloney to Duo: I think we should leave. Das has a lot of teasing stored up.
Duo: Yea. You're right. *to Aloh* See Ya!! We're outty!!
Aloh: BYE!!
Das: Come on Aloh.. You're drunk aren't ya!
Aloh: *hick* No I'm *hick* NOT! I just have the hiccups!!
Das: You're dru- *is kicked out the door, literally*
Aloh: I AM NOT!!!! *HICK* *slams door*
(cut to another room.. The one with Alton and J)
Alton: I'll be right back J, I promised Aloh I'd do her stupid thank you's.
Thanks to Andrea. Not only has she given me an ally, but she reviewed Aloh.
Stupid Aloh let Feytaloney into her room just so she could write that part! She never lets anyone in there!! But since I like you, I'll let Fey go back in there with not as much complaint…
I don't know what Aloh's plans are but I hope one of them dies! *mental slap from Aloh*
All right all right… I hope one of them gets close to dieing. *^better^* I'm telling you right now, if I get my way there will be a LOT more troubles in store for them!
That WAS NOT a good day of FUN!!!!! That was cruel and unusual torture!!! They should be hanged for that!!! Tell that to Das!! I know Aloh won't hurt me but Das will!! She's a sadist!!
I like having Joshko here. Das can't do anything to us when we're together! Too much for her to handle!! Although he can be a pain in the ass some times…
Aloh looks forward to your e-mail more than anything else.
Thank you Safety.
I think that saying anything about that.. Review is pointless… She was at your house when you wrote it!! There's nothing for me to say because she probably already talked to you about it… So I'm going to go back to plotting Das's demise with J.
Eyes of the Angel by Aloh Dark!!!! Three cheers for the tenth chapter!!!
Chapter 10: Be there
Draco sat up, instantly awake. It all made perfect sense now. He knew his father hated the Weasley's because they were muggle lovers and poor. But he hated everyone like that. The only reason he showed his hatred was because he'd nearly lost his son because of them.
That's why he'd taught Draco to hate them too. Because he didn't want to risk losing his son again. He wanted his son to be safe from any harm that could befall him if he got close to Ron.
Draco's eyes widened. Ashleigh had known. She must have since she was older and could remember things from back then. That's why she tried to teach Draco to not hate the Weasley's.
But who was Lucia? And what has she to do with anything? Was she his nurse when he was small? Or and aunt? No, it seemed so much more than that.
If Ashleigh was still alive he'd ask her, but she wasn't. He couldn't ask his father because he'd just lie to him. His mother wouldn't say a word. She never told Draco anything without her husbands permission. So there was only one option left. He had to look it up in the library.
Draco looked at his clock. Red numbers glared back the time at him. Six am it read. An hour to early for students to be out of their common rooms.
Then Draco remembered something else. Today was Saturday. Only thing significant about that is that there would be a Quidditch Match between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. The castle will be empty for a while because the teachers expected all the students to attend. So the library would be closed too. Or would it? Maybe they left it open so people can get the extra quiet time to study. He'll have to check it out.
Draco got out of bed and walked to the window. Okay so it wasn't a real window, it was just magiced there so they wouldn't be in compete dark. The dungeons after all were underground.
Draco looked out and was blinded by white. So it snowed after all, he thought. Everything outside was coated in a the powdery white quilt. Even the Forbidden Forest had a small coating. Hogwarts grounds covered in snow was a very picturesque scene.
Draco walked back to his bed and pulled out some art supplies. He carried his canvas and oil pastels to the window seat.
After a few moments of resizing the canvas, he began to draw exactly what he saw.
When he was done it was the perfect view from the window seat. Only thing in the picture that wasn't a light color was the wall of the window he'd painted at the side and the lines separating the planes of glass. It was the perfect picture. A sight directly from the eyes of the artist.
Draco picked up the only utensil that wasn't a pastel. It was a little knife. He cut his name into the upper right-hand corner of the picture. Only a person that knew where to look would find the name. Otherwise he would remain anonymous. He wrote the date onto the back and put it away with all his other paintings.
He glanced at the clock again as he stretched out the muscles of his back and legs and realized that he'd been working for and hour and a half. It was seven thirty six and he knew that the Great Hall would be serving food.
He was tempted for a moment to wake up his friends but decided against it. No need to concern them with his dreams. So he let them sleep and left his dorms.
In the common room he found Pansy asleep in a chair by the dead hearth. Someone had taken permanent ink and doodled on her face. A tub lay next to her. It read Sharpie but Draco had no idea what that meant so he picked it up. It seemed to be the source of the black ink on Pansy's face. In a sudden mood of inspiration Draco doodled some more on Pansy, but this time on her arms and neck. She'll be royally pissed when she wakes up.
Draco dropped the Sharpie and left, a smile on his face.
When Draco reached the front hall he stopped when something heavy collided with the back of his head. he stumbled at the unexpected assault and fell to his knees. Quickly getting up he turned to face his attacker. A laughing red hair was smiling at him.
"Morning Gorgeous!" The nymph said.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?! Some one could hear!!"
"Naw.. no one's up."
"So we're no one?" Draco raised an eyebrow. "I think that Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are up and eating, judging from the noise."
Ron walked down the stairs and walked towards Draco. "I guess you're right. All well."
"What the hell has gotten into you?"
Ron looked at Draco with a smile even though he was fuming inside. "Oh nothing really. Guess lack of sleep makes it so I can't think straight."
"Why didn't you get sleep?" Draco asked, his concern showing.
"Well no reason." Ron started to walk away. "Maybe it's just the fact that some one promised to meet me and never showed up. Yea, I think it's because I was stood up by a heartless bastard that doesn't even have the decency to apologize!" Ron sup around looking furious. "Maybe it's because that same heartless asshole humiliated me after I had defended him when my friend insulted him! Maybe it's because I give and I give and I get nothing back! Maybe it's because he's caused me to fight with my friends, risk my own life, and caused me the greatest deal of pain I've ever felt in my life!" Ron yelled. "Or maybe it's because I love him so much that I'd do anything for him without a second thought." He said softly. Ron gave Draco this look that said that he wanted to kill him, kiss him, and cry all that the same time. But Ron turned away from Draco and walked away before he or Draco could do anything.
Draco watched Ron walk away with a dumbstruck look on his face. Then he lowered his head and told his feet "I love you too."
Ron walked back to Griffendor tower disgusted with himself. When he saw Draco he'd become enraged. There was the boy that had stood him up just the night before. The boy that had caused him to think the most terrible things had happened to him. But he saw that Draco looked well rested and completely whole. Not even a stand of hair out of place.
But that wasn't what disgusted him. It was the fact that he didn't care why Draco hadn't showed up. He realized the second after he'd magiced a ball at his head that he wasn't really mad at Draco. He realized that it only matter to him that Draco was okay.
For the first time since he'd started to realize that he was falling for the blond that he didn't care what anyone did to him as long as he knew that Draco was okay. And to Ron, it was a new feeling he did not like. It meant that things had truly changed, for better or worse, and nothing could take them back to the place they'd been.
Draco's eyes widened after he'd realized that he meant what he'd said with his whole heart. He loves Ronald Weasley. He loves the red headed Griffendor goody goody poor boy more than he ever loved anyone else. He cursed himself all kinds of a fool for not realizing sooner. I'm a Grade-A idiot, he told himself.
He looked up at the doors to the Great Hall, and then towards the stair case to the library, and cursed out loud. He couldn't do anything he'd planned to do. He needed to talk to Ron. He needed to talk to the boy he loved.
Draco smiled. The boy he loves. Draco decided that the phrase had a nice ring to it. In the complete opposite amount of time that it had taken him to realize it, it settled in his heart for ever.
Draco set off back to his dorm at a fast walk. He was going to do everything he could to get Ron to meet with him while the rest of the school was busy with the Qudditch match. He'd send him a note and if that didn't work, he'd drag him back from match no matter what anyone says. Draco was determined to talk with Ron before lunch.
He got back to his dorm and walked past the still sleeping forms of his friends. He pulled out a quill, ink, and parchment and thought of what to say. On a sudden moment of inspiration he'd wrote furiously to get his thoughts down before he'd lost his train of thought. After he finished his message he wrote where to meet him and when. He signed it simply with 'Angel.' After he sealed it he looked it and his eagle owl was waiting to take the message.
Draco never knew how the bird knew when it was needed but it always showed up when he was. He tied the note to his leg and petted him.
"I need you to take this as fast as you can. You know who it needs to go to. Please get it to him as soon as you can." He petted the bird until it seemed to nod in understandment and flew off.
Draco was smiling as he packed some of his watercolor pencils, charcoal, and parchment into his bag and left again for the place he told Ron to meet him. He knew that it was still a while before Ron would come, and Ron would come, so he figured that he'd draw some more in his free time.
Ron walked into his common room no longer disgusted but distracted. He sat down in a chair by the fire place and thought.
He'd been thinking about what had gone on when he saw Draco. He was getting used to the fact that things had changed so much so that he and Draco could never go back to the type of hatred they'd had before. But he couldn't get used to the fact that Draco hadn't said anything about loving him.
It was clear to him that Draco did. He could feel it every time that Draco looked at him. He knew that Draco loved him. He was just worried that Draco didn't realize it himself.
How was he ever going to accomplish what Gena wanted him to do if Draco didn't realize it himself.
Gena's words rang through Ron's head.
"You have to get him to say he loves you in front of people."
"What?"
"You have to get Draco to tell you that he loves you in front of other people. And it has to be when he knows they're there. It can't be on accident. He has to know that the people are there and his declaration has to be real. But I doubt that he'd say anything like that without it being true."
If Draco didn't even realize that he loved Ron, he could tell that to Ron knowingly in front of people.
Ron's shoulders sagged. He didn't want Gena on his back about this all year. Then Ron's head sprang up. Why should he listen to Gena anyway? Yes she helped him out with the letter, but he could have found a translation spell. Why did she want that to happen anyway? She knew that Draco would never tell him that in front of people. Draco didn't want Ron to get hurt. He said so all the time. That's why they hadn't told anyone. Well that and the fact that they wouldn't understand.
It was none of Gena's business anyway. Why should she dictate what they did? Ron wasn't going to force Draco to say anything he didn't want to. No one was going to control them. She could do what ever she wanted to him, but he wasn't going to listen to her. He wasn't going to be afraid of her anymore.
Just at that moment an owl flew in the window.
Ron looked at it puzzled. Mail was supposed to come during breakfast, not before. The owl flew over to where Ron sat and waited patiently for him to take the letter from his foot.
He suddenly thought back to what the mail that Alyssa had had for him. Was this the next part of the game?
He reached his hand out cautiously. As soon as the letter was off the owls leg, it flew away. Ron barely registered it's departure as he turned over the note.
He visibly relaxed as he saw the Malfoy family seal. Then a new kind of terror filled him. What was so important for Draco to say that he had to send it by owl? Or was it something that he didn't want to say in person? He pushed that thought from his mind. He told himself that Draco loved him and determinedly opened the letter.
Ron smiled at the clumsy poetic words. It was obvious that Draco had tried to make the message romantic. It came across as sweet only because he had failed miserably.
Then Ron read where to meet and when. He didn't know if he could make it. Harry would think it suspicious if he didn't show and Hermione would say that he was letting himself be controlled. Then she would remind him of the rose last night. Then Ron realized he was just thinking that out of habit. He didn't really care if his friends approved or not. He was going.
Ron smiled. "Don't worry Angel. I'll be there. You can count on that."
LALALA............. More Later!!!
See you dirty birds!! Ron didn't have to do anything bad!! Gena only wanted Draco to tell Ron he loved him in front of people!! But Ron grew a backbone against Gena so now he won't try to get Draco to do it.... Or will he??
So how'd y'all like the chappy? I think it was sweet. Only thing is that I wrote the first half one day and the second half a few days later. So that little part might not seem all together.. I won't tell you which part. You'll have to guess!
Second half written under the influence.....
Under the influence of Tim McGraw!!!
