Chapter 3: Time change and The King of England

Ellena lay in bed for what seemed like a lifetime, but was actually around 2 hours. She had been lying there trying everything she knew to get to sleep. But every attempt ended in the same way; with her becoming frustrated and deciding it was useless. She was still on Pacific North West time, which was about 9 hours behind England. To everyone else in the castle it was 2 in the morning. To her it was 5'oclock the night before.

She leaned over the side of her bed and turned on her bedside lamp. In her old dorm this would have been a death wish, no one likes being woken up at 2 in the morning by an annoying light. But here everyone had curtains around the banisters of their beds and they all slept with them shut. Ellena didn't like the idea of not being able to see what was in the room with her so she slept with them wide open. She opened up the drawer and pulled out the book she was currently reading. It was a muggle teen book, which in her opinion were the best kind. It was an anonymous diary about a girl who gets raped by a boy she thought she liked, and then becomes pregnant. It wasn't a very large book but it took her along time to read, all books with sour relationships did. It always made her reflect to her own past relationship, which she didn't enjoy very much.

As she started searching for where she had last left off, she heard a taping at the window. Looking over she saw the shape of an owl on the windowsill, but couldn't make out much else about it. She climbed out of bed and walked over, opening the window allowing the bird in. It flew in and dropped the letter on her pillow, and then went to where her Owl, Jingle-Heimer Joe was in his cage. She went to her bed and grabbed the letter. Quietly she opened it and pulled out the piece of parchment, which was completely blank except for one word.

Hey.

That was all the letter read. She glanced back at the owl, which had delivered it. In the slight light from her lamp she recognized it as Logan's owl Frank the Tank. They had named him together after one of his favorite muggle movies Old School. They had grown up in a cute suburban town that had been equally shared between wizards and muggles, and had learned to do a lot of things the muggle way. They even had muggle friends that had live in the same neighborhood as them, that they would hangout with on their summer's home from school. One of the things they did most for fun was go to movies, so naturally a lot of their jokes or names for pets had come from movies.

She took out a pen and wrote back on the same paper, underneath what Logan's message.

Hey. Can't sleep either huh?

She folded it back up and gave it to Frank the Tank, not bothering to put it in an envelope. She walked to the window with the owl on her arm and opened it letting him fly out. Even though it was letting the cold night air into the room, Ellena left the window open so she wouldn't have to reopen it every time Frank showed up. Climbing back into bed she sat and waited, while listening to the rustle of the trees outside in the wind, and enjoying the feeling of the cold night air on her skin. Soon enough Frank the Tank flew back into her room and landed on her bed with the note in his claws.

Are you kidding? Its like 5 back at home, there's no way I'm gonna get to sleep for at least another 5 hours. I tired to find something to do but there's nothing here. I'm bored. Do you wanna come down and hang out for a while since you can't sleep either? I'm dying.

She grabbed her pen again and wrote her response:

I'm not coming down there, I don't even know where there is and I'm not taking the chance of getting lost here. It's a freakin castle, that's kind of creepy at night. You come up here.

She was being stubborn and she knew it. But she wasn't about to wonder around a big giant castle at night by herself, if he wanted to hangout he could come up there. She folded up the note and called Frank over to her. Before giving him the note to deliver she gave him an owl treat so he wouldn't get annoyed with having to fly back and forth. He took the note happily after getting his treat and flew out the window to deliver it. Ellena got out of bed again and walked over to where Jingle-Heimer Joe was in his cage. She handed him an owl treat too so he wouldn't get jealous, and then got down on her hand and knees and called her cat out from under her bed. She had bought the owl her first year, and her kitten this year after she arrived in England. She saw him in the animal store and became too attached to just let him go. He was a tiny little kitten about the size of Logan's hand, with a flat face and a gray-blue coat of extremely fluffy hair. So despite the protest that Logan gave her, she bought him and decided he was her Souvenir. That same afternoon as she was sitting on the Hogwarts express with her fellow Americans, she was contemplating names for her new pet.

"It has to be something British," she stated as the cute kitten continued to jump for a piece of string she was dangling in front of him.

"Why?" Logan asked

"Because, I bought him here. He's my little souvenir." She said this last part in her baby voice that she used with cute animals, as she scooped the tiny kitten into her arms, burying her face into his soft fluffy coat.

"Ben Franklin," Logan said. "He was British right?"

"I have no idea…but no one will get it, he was a muggle," she stated as the other 2 Americans gave them curious looks at the name they didn't recognize.

"It has to be something really good…I don't know yet…" she said. She was really picky about how she named her animals. Her Owl Jingle-Heimer Joe was named after one of her favorite skits from Saturday Night Live, a Muggle TV show her and Logan watched almost religiously over summer with their muggle friends.

She pulled the little kitten out from under her bed and scooped him up. He was still nervous and a little scared about being in a new place with all new people as she had only bought him that afternoon. She understood how he felt, as she was in an entirely new place also. With her kitty in hand, she climbed back into bed, and pulled out a piece of paper that she had been writing possible names for her new pet on all day. She had names from movies and children's books, and inside jokes that she had with her friends, but couldn't think of anything British. She scanned her list, which read:

Napoleon

Pedro

Kip

Uncle Rico

Squints

Milton

Leprechaun

Danger Will Robinson

Princess Sophia

Crawl the warrior king

Buddy the Elf

Mustafa

Garth Algar

It was a long list for just one animal and she knew it, but names were the hardest thing for her to decide. It took her 2 weeks to name her owl, and she had made a list for Logan's owl, because she wanted his name to be something fun too. All her animals were named mostly from movies that she loved, but there was an occasional from books or jokes. At her house she had 2 dogs (Katinka Ingabogovinanana and Ron Burgundy from Zoolander and Anchorman), 3 baby bunnies (Dopey, happy, and Sleepy from Snow White) 2 turtles (Petrie and Ducky from the land before time) and a ferret (Soda pop from the outsiders). This particular list for her kitty had been devised from the movies Napoleon Dynamite, The Sandlot, Office Space, Elf, How to loose a guy in 10 Days, Austin Powers, and Wayne's World. . All of these movies had been part of her and Logan's Friday night movie marathon they held every other week over summer vacation.

As she was contemplating more names for her list, Frank the Tank flew through the window landing on her bed in front of her. This scared the kitty very much and he buried himself under the sheets and started to meow loudly.

"Oh baby its ok!" she said in a hushed baby voice so she wouldn't wake the other girls "Sssshhhh" she tried to get him to stop meowing before he woke anyone up. Pulling him out and holding him tightly and close to her body seemed to calm him down as he started purring. Cradling him in one arm and petting him with her thumb, she reached out her free hand to shoo Frank away and he flew into Jingle-Heimer's cage. Then picking up the letter she read Logan's latest response.

I knew you were going to be stubborn…how about I come get you and then you can come back down here. Its cool here you'll like it. Is that good enough for you?

She was happy enough with this solution. She always felt safe with Logan, so even if they did get lost in the big creepy castle at night, it was ok cause he would be there.

Ok sounds good. I only know how to get here from the great hall so ill just tell you that way.

She wrote this, and the directions to the Gryffindor tower from the great hall, and also gave him the password so she wouldn't have to wait outside. Once again she sent Frank the Tank off with her letter, and played with her kitty until he came back. Logan's final response was quick and short

Cool ill be there in 10.

She thought about changing but decided against it. It would take too much effort and it was only Logan, she didn't have a reason to change. She was wearing Dark Brown Abercrombie sleep pants, which had pink writing on the left side hip, and a pink wife beater. She decided to take an extra shirt, so she grabbed one of her pink long-sleeved cardigans. It was weird but she loved it when she matched perfectly…even if it was her pajamas. She decided to take Kitty with her; it was too soon to leave it all alone in a new place. Tip toeing across the room trying very hard not to wake anyone, Ellena made her way downstairs to the common room. She slipped on her turtle flip-flops that she had left by the couch, and sat down in an overstuffed chair in front of the fire. Her kitten (who was on London time) was fast asleep in her arm, and purring as Ellena stroked the top of its head. Before she knew it she heard the portrait door open and Logan walk in.

"Whoa, this place is nice. But that fat lady got mad at me…wouldn't let me in for like 5 minutes. I had to sweet talk her…never had to flirt with a painting before." He said as he scanned the room over.

"What did you say that made her mad?" Ellena asked

"I didn't say anything. She knew I was a Slytherin and she said something about being out to late, I don't know." He said dropping the subject

"Well lets go I'm getting antsy," Ellena said as she started to head for the door. Logan noticing the cat in her arms gave a look and said,

"Your not bringing that, are you?" Ellena frowned at him calling her cat that instead of him.

"Of course I'm bringing my baby, it's our first night together and this is a new place. Plus you need to help me with names." She said defensively, she loved her cat, but Logan said it looked like a giant fuzz ball.

"Whatever, lets go." he said knowing he wouldn't win any battle that might get started from this conversation.

They walked down the halls silently, unsure about the new castle, and not wanting to draw attention to themselves if there was a teacher roaming nearby. They made their way from the Gryffindor tower, to the great hall, then to the Slytherin tower, knowing this was probably not the quickest route, but knowing it was a safe one where they had less chance of getting lost. When they had entered the common room Ellena let out a gasp at the sight. It was beautiful stone with green accents and a cathedral ceiling. It wasn't better then the Gryffindor common room but it came to a close tie. It was furnished the same with fireplaces, desks, and overstuffed armchairs and couches strategically placed in the most comfortable places.

Flopping down onto one of the couches facing the fire she started to realize how cold it was in there.

"Oh my god it's freezing! Can I borrow a sweatshirt?" she asked shivering

"Yeah ill go get one…I don't know how your cold but ill get you one" he responded walking towards his dorm room, she was always cold so this didn't surprise him very much. He had noticed she was wearing her flip-flops again instead of real shoes with socks. She never listened to him when he told her that that was why she was always cold, so he didn't think if he brought it up now it would make any difference.

He came back out with a black hoodie that had Green Day written on the front in white letters, and tossed it on the couch next to her.

"Thanks" she said, "Hold kitty for a sec" she added handing the sleeping kitten to him. He took it and started to gently stroke it as Ellena pulled the sweatshirt over her head. Apparently the cat didn't like what Logan was doing, because it woke up and started meowing very loudly for something so small. Ellena reached out to take it back, but Logan refused, determined to get it to stop on his own. He scratched it behind the ears, and pet its head softly, but nothing he did would make it stop. In fact his meows were growing louder and louder by the second as he fought to get away from Logan. Just as Ellena refused to let Logan try anymore, Draco opened the door that separated the common room and the boys' dorm.

"What the fuck is going on?" he said in a tired and very annoyed voice. Ellena took the kitten back and it immediately stopped crying, and fell back asleep within a few seconds. She laughed at this, thinking it was cute that her baby hated Logan and loved her. Draco hadn't noticed her standing there until she had let out a little giggle. Infact he didn't even know who he was talking to when he opened the door, all he knew is that they woke him up.

"Hey Draco, sorry we didn't mean to wake you up" Ellena said, feeling bad about waking him up at this time.

"Oh…um that's ok I didn't know it was you guys…" he said truly not caring for the interruption of his sleep anymore. "Ellena what are you doing here? Its like 3:30 in the morning…and your in our common room…" he trailed off, then coming to a realization said "OHH were you two shagging? Sorry if I interrupted anything ill just go back to bed" he said completely serious, understanding how annoying it is when people interrupt that.

"What?? NO" Ellena said a little over concerned "no, no, no, we just can't sleep cause of the time difference so we're hanging out to kill time. You can join us if you want" she offered hoping he would agree. He looked really good in his black pajama pants that rode low on his hips, showing his v-line muscle. He wasn't wearing a shirt either which showed off his nicely toned abs.

Before he could respond with an answer, Logan cut him off, directing his statement to Ellena but saying it so that Draco could hear also.

"Why do people around here keep thinking we're together?" Logan asked annoyed. "Seriously if people keep asking me that I'm going to start saying yes so they leave us alone" he said flopping down onto the nearest couch.

"It's your own fault you know," she started as she sat next to him swinging her legs into his lap and leaning her back against the arm of the couch " People can tell that you want me." She said seriously

"Am I that transparent? Oh-my-god Ellena I need you right now. Please have sex with me. I've been in love with you for as long as I can remember, I can't wait any longer. Lets go RIGHT NOW. What do you say? Will you be my lover forever?" he responded dramatically.

"Oh Jesus. I'm so sorry Logan I would but it's just that…well…I'm to good for you." She said patting his arm consolingly. "Well you know…that…and I'm a lesbian" she finished off.

"Damn just my luck…" Logan said "well at least I can watch you go at it with another chick" he said in a perky tone. He laughed and she punched him on the arm.

"What the hell was that?" Draco asked completely confused by what he just heard.

"We were just joking around" Ellena responded "so you joining us?" she asked her earlier question again.

"You guys are kind of weird" he responded squinting at them in revelation. "I'm just gonna go back to bed, ill cya tomorrow." He said as he turned back into his dorm and closed the door.

Turning back to Logan, Ellena asked, "so what should kitty's name be?" looking down at her sleeping fur ball.

"How about fucker…" he grumbled, running his fingers over where the cat had scratched his arm in attempt to get away.

"Hey! Don't be mean just because he doesn't like you." She said defensively pulling the kitten closer to her in a protective manner.

"Ok then Grumpy…its perfect he's tiny like a dwarf, and he's obviously grumpy." He said

"Actually that's pretty good…that can be his nickname, but I need a British name for him…its important." She said still unsure of what to call him.

"Let me see your list" Logan said knowing that she would probably have a list already for the cat…he knew her too well. She pulled it out of her pocket and handed it over to him.

"You should name him Uncle Rico! That was such an amazing movie…" he said, but then noticing her slight frown said for her, "but its not British, right…" he sat there for a moment and handed the list back to her.

"Lets watch a movie…we can figure out a name for the little devil later" he said giving up. She ignored the part about her cat being a devil, and agreed that they should watch a movie.

"Which one do you want to watch tonight?" she asked him "a classic or something we haven't seen yet?"

"How about a classic, just in case we fall asleep. I don't like when I miss part of a movie, then have to watch it over." He stated

"Ok so here's our options for tonight," she said as she pulled out her wand, conjuring each movie as she said list them off.

"We have Pearl Harbor, The Green Mile, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Dude Where's My Car, and the best ever Elephant." She arranged each movie out in front of them on the coffee table so that they could see the covers. Logan scanned the movies eliminating them one by one.

"How about something older? Like from the 80s'?" he said, not feeling any of the movies she had picked.

"The Outsiders? That's from like 83 right?" she suggested.

"Yeah that sounds good," he said as he conjured up a TV screen (that ran off of magic of course) and got rid of the extra movies. He stood up and popped the movie into the player and came back to the couch making Ellena lift her legs back up so he could sit under them. They sat there and watched the movie in silence, both completely wrapped up in the story.

Two hours later, as the movie was ending, they had both fallen asleep on the couch, not from being sleepy but from sheer exhaustion their day had caused…all the traveling and the excitement of being in a new place really took it out of them. Logan had slid down lying on top of Ellena wrapping his arm around her torso, and she instinctively wrapped her arm around his neck in her sleep. This wasn't the first time they had fallen asleep on opposite ends of the couch, and woken up cuddling, so for them it was nothing to care about. But as Draco emerged from his dorm at 7 in the morning, and saw them lying there snuggled up together, he didn't believe for a second when they said they weren't together.

He walked over to where they were sleeping and decided to actually be nice about this. He realized that if any of the other Slytherins were to come out and see what he was looking at, they would assume that the two had stayed up shagging all night. He walked over to where they lay, and tapped Logan on the shoulder. Logan woke up and groggily looked up at Draco,

"That's really sweet and everything…and I know your guys aren't shagging," he said this last part with sarcasm in his voice, "But if anyone else were to walk out now, they would assume that you were and the whole school would know about it within 10 minutes. You should probably get her back to her common room before anyone else wakes up." He didn't know why he was being so nice about this, but he liked her and he didn't want her to get a bad reputation so early in the year…at least a reputation that didn't involve him. Logan nodded and got off the couch carefully, as to not wake Ellena up.

"We didn't do anything," he said at the smirk on Dracos' face.

"Didn't say you did…" He said still smirking

"we were just watching a movie, and we fell asleep" he continued to explain, even though his efforts were going no where. He bent down and picked Ellena up off the couch. She unconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck and nuzzled into his chest.

"Can you find her cat? Its somewhere around here, and she would freak if we didn't bring it back with her" he asked Draco.

"Yeah sure…" he said looking around not seeing any cat, "What's its name?" he asked

"It doesn't have one yet" he explained, "She calls it kitty though maybe it'll respond to that." He said. Draco didn't want to start calling out Kitty like a little girl so he just looked around the common room for a few seconds until he saw a little gray-blue ball of fuzz curled up in front of the fireplace.

"Is that it?" he asked pointing to the hairball.

"Yep that's the little shit" Logan said as looked over to where Draco had been pointing. Draco walked over and picked up the kitten, which started meowing angrily. Draco started petting his head and along his back, but the kittens cries grew louder and more annoying.

"Holy Hell, shut up" he said in frustration as they left the common room and started up to the Gryffindor tower.

"Told you he was a little shit" Logan said laughing, and a little happier that it didn't hate only him…it hated everyone but Ellena.

"This cat thinks it's the fucking King of England" Draco said, glaring at it as if that would make it stop.

"King of England…you should tell Ellena that when she wakes up, I think she would like that for his name. She wanted it to be something British so she can remember this place by it." Logan said as they climbed the stairs to the portrait of the Fat Lady. He gave her the password along with a compliment for safety (my god you get more beautiful every time I come here! I heard you have a lovely voice, the next time I visit will you sing me a song?). As the portrait swung open Logan climbed in still hold Ellena in his arms, but Draco paused in the doorway.

"Well come-on" Logan said when he noticed Draco just standing there.

"I can't go in there." Draco said, "That's the Gryffindor common room, its like going against my religion." He explained. Logan knowing Dracos style decided to try and persuade him rather then argue with him.

"Yeah…ok but I bet if any of the Gryffindors are in there, it'll really get under their skin to see you come in at this time of morning with Elle." He said "Especially Harry and Ron" he added for an extra impact, knowing fully that this would make Draco more then happy.

"That is an excellent point," Draco said grinning. "Here switch me" he set the cat down on the floor, and took Ellena in his arms from Logan. She shifted a bit, and wrapped her arms around Draco's neck instead, and nuzzled her face into his chest breathing in his natural scent. Logan bent down and picked up the feisty cat, which of course put up a struggle.

Logan entered the common room first with the kitten in hand. As he had figured Harry, Ron and Hermione were all awake and sitting on a couch in the middle of the room talking and going over their schedules together. When he came in they all looked up at him, curious as to why he was in their common room.

"Hey Logan, what are you doing here?" Hermione asked. "If your looking for Ellena, she's not here, she was gone when I got up this morning…" she trailed off the last part of her sentence due to the fact the she was now gaping, wide-eyed at Draco as he strolled in with Ellena in his arms.

"What the hell did you do to her?!?!" Ron shouted shooting straight up out of his chair.

"She's just a little worn out that's all. Keep your voice down weasel, don't want to wake her up…she needs her rest after the night she had" Draco worded this all very carefully, as to hint that they had been together but not actually saying it.

"Logan what the hell is going on?" Ron said addressing Logan instead, he figured it was safer this way; he knew if he continued to try and talk with Malfoy, he would kill him.

"She fell asleep watching a movie. No harm done. Draco helped me take her back up here, that's it." He said telling the truth. Even though it was entertaining to watch Draco freak them out, he wasn't about to put Ellena in trouble with her new friends.

"Hey Hermione" Logan turned to talk to her "can you take this devil cat of hers? It doesn't like me very much" he said as he extended the cat (who was still crying) out to her.

"Oh of course" she said taking it, and just as it had before with Ellena the cat stopped its crying, and started to purr as she petted it.

"I hate that thing," he said rubbing his arm where he had gotten clawed.

"Yeah I know what you mean," Harry said as he rubbed his arm too from where Hermione's cat had clawed at him the night before.

Draco walked Ellena over to a couch in front of the fire, and carefully laid her down. Her hands slowing slid off of his neck and down his chest, until they had fallen to rest on her stomach. Her hair had fallen in her face during the transition from him to the couch, so Draco took his hand, and swept her soft curls away from her face. As he did so he slid the back of his hand down her cheek feeling how soft her skin was, and she instinctively turned her face towards his touch. Seeing how beautiful she was, lying there asleep, gave him the sudden urge to lean in and kiss her. He was debating weather or not to do so, and started to lean down when he heard a very annoyed someone clear their throat rather loudly. He looked up and saw that everyone was watching him move very carefully.

"Well she's here, you did your job. You can leave now." Ron said as he stared Draco down.

"Don't get your knickers in a twist, I was just leaving." He said as he headed for the door. Logan followed suit, but said his goodbyes to the group first.

"Well I'll see you all later, you should probably let her sleep, where still getting used to the time difference" he said this followed by a large yawn. "I'm going back to bed," he stated as he left the common room.

Logan and Draco walked down the halls silently. When they reached the common room Draco started to head back to the Dorm room, but Logan went over the one of the chairs and called Draco to join him

"Come here for a sec I want to talk to you about something" he said in all seriousness. Draco, a little unsure of what was going on, went to sit in the chair opposite Logan and waited for him to start.

"So, what the hell was that?" Logan said leaning in, resting his elbows on his knees, waiting for an explanation. Draco knew exactly what he was talking about and he leaned back in his chair propping his elbow up on the arm and rubbing his forehead.

"I honestly don't know man" he responded in all honesty

"Do you like her?" Logan asked

"Not yet…but I probably will. There was just something about her right then…I dunno" he tried to explain it but he really couldn't.

"Better be careful, you know if you hurt her, ill kill you" Logan said this in a casual tone, but they both knew he was dead serious.

"I know" Draco said. "Don't worry I don't even know if I'm gonna go after her yet."

"Looks like if you do, you might have a little competition." Logan said with a smirk.

"What are you talking about?" Draco inquired confused

"Ron looked pretty pissed when you walked in with Ellena. He definitely thought something had happened and he was NOT happy about it." Logan recalled with a laugh.

This comment made Draco smile.

Oh just think of the possibilities he thought to himself.

"That was a picture perfect look on his face wasn't it?" Draco said laughing.

"Well I'm gonna go back to bed…ill cya later" Logan said rising out of his chair and heading back to the dorms.

"Later" Draco called after him. He sat there for a few minutes before heading off to breakfast, thinking of how many different ways he could get to the Golden Trio this year, thanks to the schools new editions.

"We should wake her up." Ron said looking over at Ellena who was curled up fast asleep on the couch.

"Ron just leave her alone, let her sleep." Hermione said as she flipped through the pages of her latest book.

"Well if we wake her up, she can explain what she was doing in the Slytherin dorms with Malfoy" Ron said as he bounced his foot anxiously on the floor.

"Logan said that she just fell asleep watching a movie. She wasn't even with Malfoy. Trust me I hate the idea just as much as you do, but give her a little credit. Malfoy was just trying to get to you and so far he's done a good job of it." She said in her know-it-all voice, watching him behave like a 12 year old.

While they were talking, Ellena's kitten had snuck over to where she was laying on the couch, and sat down right in front of her head. Wanting to be held, kitty started meowing louder and louder until Ellena's eyes fluttered open and saw her precious kitten below her.

"Aww baby! Your so cute I could just eat you up!" she said in her baby voice as she scooped him up into her arms and snuggled their faces together. Realizing that she was on the couch back in her common room, she got up and started to head to her dorm, when she spotted Harry, Ron and Hermione all watching her with waiting eyes.

"Oh hey guys." She said brightly, but when getting no response except for stares, she dwindled at the bottom of the stairs and asked,

"What?"

"Malfoy brought you back from his common room this morning" Ron started, and then waited for her to explain as if this was one of the 7 deadly sins.

"Oh that was nice of him," she said checking their reactions to see if this was the response they were looking for. Apparently it wasn't. Ron gaped at her, and Harry shook his head back and forth so Hermione took it upon herself to help explain to Ellena.

"We were just wondering, why you were with Malfoy last night. I mean I woke up and you were gone, and then he carried you in this morning. It just doesn't look to good," Hermione stated. This type of comment offended Ellena a little and she could feel that if the conversation continued this way, she would become annoyed, possibly angry.

"Well if you must know," she started heading towards the group and sitting on the couch opposite to them. "I wasn't with DRACO last night, I was with Logan. We couldn't sleep because of the time change so we watched movies, and I fell asleep. I guess Draco carried me back because he was being nice." She said to them. After a pause she added, "and personally I don't care how it 'looked', if you want to assume things like that then go ahead." She finished.

"No it's not like that. It's just a little difficult for us to see Malfoy the guy we've hated for…what? 6 years now? Waltzing into OUR common room, with you in his arms. It was weird. Now this place is tainted with the little ferret." Harry explained to her.

"Hey! I have a ferret and he's really cute…" she said defensively. Ron laughed and Hermione rolled her eyes. "But I get what your saying, I'm sorry if it made you guys mad, but I'm sure he was just being nice. And just so you know I haven't hung out with him at all yet." She said as she stood up to go back to her dorm room.

"Wait…yet?" Harry said catching the last part of her statement.

"Well honestly, he's friends with Logan now, he's gonna be around. Plus he's helping with the party Friday. I know he's an ass to you guys, but he seems nice to me." She explained

"Whatever" he said in defeat, knowing he wasn't going to win this one just yet, "Just do us a favor, and be careful. If your not Malfoy is going to make you out to be another one of his sex toys." At this Ellena laughed out loud.

"Don't worry I cant handle him if he tries to mess with me" she said smugly, walking back up to her dorm room. "Good night!" she called down.

"Its 8:30 in the morning!!!" Ron called back up to her, she was lucky that it was Saturday, and they didn't have classes for another two days.

"Oh…then…good morning!" she said, and with that she closed the dorms door, and flopped back into her bed, deciding that this was a good time to actually close the drapes around her bed, so that nothing would wake her up.

"You know he's just going to use her to get to us" Ron said after Ellena had retreated to her room.

"Yep" Harry responded

"Should we do something about it?" asked Ron.

"Nope" Harry responded once again

"Well why not?"

"Because that's exactly what he wants" Harry explained, "Instead, we do nothing. Maybe even act happy about it. Then that way, we get to him by not letting him get to us."

"You know Harry, sometimes I could just kiss you." Ron said happily as he realized the genius of this plan
