Solana walked slowly up the stairs, she had heard some yelling and wasn't quite sure if she wanted to be at the receiving end of Echo's wrath. The door to their door burst open and all the other Slytherin girls came running out.

"And fucking stay out you inbred freaks!" The door slammed as the rest of the girls came running down the stair.

"You might not want to go in there Malfoy, Zabini is going mental. She pushed the table over and started to throw things at us!" The blond then ran to where all her friends had gathered.

"Spiffing." Solana sighed, pushing the door open. She wasn't surprised to see Echo repeatedly breaking a water pitcher and repairing it. "Echo, what's up? The whole bit down there wasn't exactly worth all this." She gestured at the rapidly repairing pitcher.

"It's not just that." Echo picked up the pitcher and chucked it across the room hitting the wall with such force it left dust at the place of impact. "I just don't know. Why is he so over protective? I am only 11 months younger then him! If I need help I will ask for it, he has never been there for me before so why is he so inclined to do it now! I know that I am making it sound more important then it is, but I want to know my brother I don't want to pretend that I do." She quickly fixed the pitcher and set it back on the now righted table.

Solana stepped inside the room, and shut the door. "I know how you feel. Draco and Blaise... they've got to feel it too. Drake... we sent letters for five years. He learned my writing style and handwriting. Now he's faced with me, and I don't even look how he expected. I feel like I'm failing him, my family, you... I hate it. But I live with it.

And you will too. You'll get to know Blaise. He'll come to his senses. He's still getting used to you. I mean, hell." She sighed, moving to her bed and flopping down on it. "How well do we know each other anymore? You've changed so much since we were eleven. I have too. How well do we know anyone here?"

"Your right. But me and Blaise didn't even send letters to each other you and Draco did, the only times that I heard from his is when he sent me birthday and Christmas cards. I wasn't any better but that's not the point." Echo started to giggle at her last statement. "I must admit it does make me feel loved even if he's a poop about it. Lets not talk about this anymore kay?" Echo started to take off her Quidditch robes feeling a little bit happier now that she knew she wasn't the only one with a problem.

"Right." Solana sighed, draping her arm over her face to block out the light. "You done breaking things? As much as crystal dust is appealing, I don't want shards in my feet."

Echo stuck her tongue out at Solana, "Yes, I'm finished now. Honestly, be a friend, will you?"

"Don't feel like it. My most humble apologies."

"Shut it Malfoy or I will be forced to tickle you." Echo smiled an evil little smile as she put on her pajamas.

Solana immediately rolled into a ball, glaring at Echo, "You wouldn't dare."

"Wanna bet?" She lunged landing on the bed next to her friend and started to tickle her sides.

Solana bit her lip harshly, trying to muffle her laughter as she tried to roll away from Echo. She had, for the moment, forgotten her friends superior muscle strength, and was tugged back towards the Beater. "Echo! Stop! That..." Solana laughed, "This isn't fair!"

"Echo! Stop! That! This isn't fair!" Draco and Blaise heard the screams and looked at each other.

"What do you think they are doing?" Draco asked Blaise. Blaise listened harder and heard some odd squeals.

"I have no clue but what ever it is I want part of it!" Blaise launched himself off the couch and ran towards the stairs. His wand was out before he knew it, and he was casting a freezing charm.

Draco was on his heels as they made their way up the stairs.

"ECHO!"

Blaise threw open the sixth grade girls dorm, and blinked. "Well, that was a let down."

Solana looked up at her brother and Blaise. Echo's fingers fell still and the female Malfoy rolled off the bed. "What the bloody hell do you think you're doing up here?!"

"We heard screaming, and uh, we um... thought that one of you might be in... uh trouble." Blaise mumbled.

Draco nodded hastily, deciding it was safer not to mention that their minds had not been thinking anything about trouble.

Solana tugged her shirt back all the way down, annoying that it had ridden up in the first place. "Right. We're fine."

"Yes we are so you can leave now, unless you would like to join?" Echo smirked mischievously and jump off the bed. "Are either of you two ticklish?"

Draco backed away, silver eyes widening, "No!" He squeaked.

Blaise smirked back, waltzing into the dorm and settling comfortably on

Solana's bed. "Ticklish? No. Spanking's always good though."

Echo started to laugh and ran after Draco. "Dracooo came back here and face me like a man!" Draco turned and ran down the stairs trying to escape the fast fingers of his best friends sister.

"What if I don't want to be a man! I am still a little boy in my mind! And there is no way that I am letting you tickle me!" Draco ran behind the couch. Echo was there with him, laughing maniacally.

Draco eyed her suspiciously. "Don't you dare tickle me. I'll forget that you're a girl and hex you."

"I will welcome it and laugh at you when my brother finds out." She stated smugly, still advancing.

He actually whimpered, hugging himself as he backed up. "But... I... I'm not ticklish. Really."

"Then why are you so scared that I am going to tickle you?" Draco whimpered again backing up some more.

"Er... no reason?" He bit his lip, launching himself around the couch in a drastic attempt to save his sides. Echo was too fast and chased him back up the stairs, right into her room.

Blaise looked up from his position on top of Solana. He cursed, and rolled off the younger Malfoy. Her face flushed, and she sat up.

Draco went eerily still. "Blaise, I would appreciate it if you would tell me exactly what you were doing on top of my sister."

"I was... uh... tickling her."

Solana bit her lip, looking down at the floor. Blaise had figured out that she was ticklish, and his extremely long, sneaky fingers had found her most ticklish spot. She had bitten her lip in an attempt to muffle her laughter and he had held her down when she tried to roll away.

"Tickling that's a new one. He must have found her most ticklish spot." Echo wiggled her eyebrow suggestively.

Solana's flush deepened.

Draco's jaw clenched, his hands already in fists at his sides. "You... were on top... of my sister, Blaise. Tickling is NOT what it looked like!"

"I didn't do anything to your precious sister, Draco!" Blaise stood from the bed, his own anger rising. Solana tried desperately not to think he looked sexy when mad. "Kindly leave it alone, you sodding twit!"

"SODDING TWIT?!" Draco yelled, "You-!" Echo cut him off.

"SHUT IT YOU TWO!!!!" They both looked at her in surprise. Echo took three deep breaths. "We are big girls if we feel like we want to fool around with some one then there is nothing you two can do to stop us. And even though your sister happened to pick my bother to fool around with you still have no right to tell us what to do." Blaise smirked and stuck his tongue out at Draco. "The rules apply to you to Blaise, if I

want to make out with Draco then they is nothing that can stop me."

Blaise looked like he was going to explode. "W-what?"

Solana gaped, "But - We didn't do anything! He was just tickling me."

Draco blinked at Echo, "You... snog me? Hm..."

Solana rolled her eyes. Men.

"I...um..." Echo took a deep breath. "Yes snog you, you have a problem, and plus I was just using your name to demonstrate that I can kiss or snog whom ever I wish to."

"Oh good." Draco smirked, and reached over, pulling Echo to him. Blaise made a choked snarl as the Prefect proceeded to snog his sister.

"Mumph.." Echo stiffened and the melted wrapping her arms around his neck for support.

Solana shut her eyes, "Merlin, I've gone blind." She opened her eyes, then immediately shut them. "Never mind. I haven't, though I almost wish I did."

Blaise sat down hard on the bed, sighing. "I'll kill him, as soon as Echo lets go. If I hex him now, it'll hit her, and then..." He snarled.

Draco made a slightly smug noise in his throat, pulling Echo closer.

Echo giggled and pulled him slowly to the bed.

"Oh no you two don't!!" Blaise yelled jumping up.

Solana opened her eyes and stood, pulling him from the room and shutting the door snuggly. "Just leave it, Zabini. She's right. She'll snog whoever she damn well wants."

Blaise made a slightly put out noise and followed Solana down stairs flinching every time he heard a bang on something or someone hitting the floor.

Solana rolled her eyes again, picking up a book, "Relax, Zabini. She's a big girl. You don't need to flinch. You look like you're having a seizure."

"But... But it's my little sister! It is gross to think that she is up there snogging my best friend and one of my crushes!" He sat, continuing to flinch.

"One of?" She raised a brow. Oh, I cannot believe I'm asking this, she thought. But it's only to make him relax... Really.

"Yes one of my crushes, I like a few other people. Why do you want to know?" Blaise stopped fidgeting and looked oddly still.

She shrugged, "Because you need to distract yourself from Echo and Drake."

Blaise started to look very uncomfortable again as yet another loud slam was heard. "I think I will go up there, just to check up on them."

"I think you won't." She sighed, setting aside her book and sitting on him. "Now shut up and stop being an idiot!"

"I think I like this position." Blaise smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist, still flinching.
