Ok guys, I know that you peoples may not have enjoyed the slowly shortening chapters, and so we decided to make it… well, long. So I hope you enjoy it, even though it's been a long time in coming. OH, and we recently got a flame, but it was a lame flame, I could have written a better one. But, so if you don't like this story, please at least have a plausible excuse, and please tell us what's wrong with it, and no moaning. Also, if you happen to be 34, chubby, alone at home and still reading Harry Potter… 1.) You need to get a (better) life, and 2.) You need to first HAVE a story before you can go around flaming other people's stories.

Draco awoke the next morning. As soon as he opened his eyes, it hit him like a brick, right in the pit of his stomach. He thought about the night before and guilt washed over him. Draco had been an... asshole was the only word he could think of. "What the hell is wrong with me" he asked softly and shoved his head into the pillow. He would have to get up soon and go find Pansy.

Kindra woke up, not yet opening her eyes, and just breathed in the scent of the person she was cuddling with. It felt good. It felt safe. It felt wrong somehow though… Then she remembered. It was like taking a bullet in the foot, becoming unconscious, waking up, and stumbling around. Kindra started to curl up, detangling herself from Millicent. Millicent woke up halfway through this, and just hugged Kindra.

"Kindra? Honey, I know. I know, and it's ok." She waited a few minutes before continuing with"Now, when was the last time you had food? And I don't mean butterbeer."

Kinda sniffed a little, then said"Um… I don't know… Yesterday at breakfast I had some toast…"

Millicent shook her head while eyeing Kindra. "You, mon amie, are going to eat, and in the Great Hall too, just to prove that you can. Now, we have to get you presentable."

Kindra looked down at her cloths. She had on a set of her Hogwarts robes that were very muddy on the bottom, and just looked soiled, dirty, and worn out in general. It was St. Patrick's Day, or so Millicent told her, so she picked out a green shirt that read "Pinch me, and you won't be able to move your fingers for a month". She loved this shirt. She also picked out a pair of green pants with four-leaf clovers all down the legs.

Slowly, Draco got up from the warm bed and walked to the shower with his head hung low. He took a long shower hoping he would drown… It didn't work. He got ready and made his way to the common room. He hoped Pansy would be there and not at breakfast already. If she has already gone, he would be in a whole lot of trouble. Knowing Pansy, she would tell the first person she saw, and the second, and the third… ect. "Why the hell did it happen" a voice said in his head. "Because I wanted to forget the pain" Draco replied back.

Kindra took Millicent's hand after they both had dressed, more for moral support then anything else, and headed down to the Great Hall. As they passed through the common room, Kindra noticed an unusual amount of whispering, and it seemed to be going in a wave after her. She wondered about this since it was common knowledge that they were best friends, and they'd told no one about their other relationship.

Millicent wandered a little closer to a whispering group near the exit and heard a snatch that went something like"Pansy…" Blah, blah, blah"Draco…" Blah, blah, blah. Millicent's eyes widened as she put two and two together quickly, and moved away from the groups before Kindra could. She figured that Kindra was upset enough as it was, and she didn't need yet another thing to worry about.

As he entered the common room, Draco heard little voices whispering to each other. "Oh no, she has already told people." He shook his head. "No, they must be talking about something else." The thoughts in his mind were racing each other. Walking up to some girl that he knew by face but not by name he said aloud"Do you know where Pansy is"

The girl giggled. "She already went down to the Great Hall."

"Thanks" he said coldly.

Draco entered the great hall, determined to find Pansy before she told more people. He looked around and saw her. He quickly walked over to her. "Pansy, I need to talk to you" he said into her hear.

She turned around a huge smile on her face. "Ok." She stood up. Draco grabbed her arm and headed toward the door. He stopped right by it and turned to look at her again.

Millicent and Kindra walked all the way to the Great Hall before letting go of each other's hands. Kindra looked up at Millicent, Millicent looked down at Kindra. With a final nod of agreement, they entered.

Draco looked at Pansy with a saddened face. "What happened last night should not have happened" he said.

Her face looked confused. "What do you mean"

"We should have never… you know." He couldn't say what he meant.

Pansy smiled evilly as she saw Kindra walk into the great hall. "Oh, are talking about last night? Why didn't you just say that we had sex" she said, loudly enough for Kindra to hear.

Kindra stopped when she heard that, and at first decided that whoever it was, it was none of her business what was going on. Then she realized who was talking. She slowly pivoted and stood looking wide-eyed at Pansy and Draco. Her mouth slowly dropped. It was as if she was caught in some strange slow-motion movie. She looked first at Pansy, who was smirking her ass off. She then turned her eyes to Draco.

Draco's mouth dropped as she said it. He looked up, and there was Kindra. What he had feared most had come true. He didn't know what to do, so he just stood there with his mouth wide open.

Kindra shook her head, trying desperately to make herself wake up. She couldn't take her eyes off Draco. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This can't be happening."

Pansy sneered her evil smirk even more. "Oh, hello Kindra. I didn't see you there. Would you like to join in our conversation? Draco and I were just discussing the finer points of sex. Oh, that's right, you haven't had sex with him yet. I could give you pointers. My memory is still fresh. It was wonderful." She beamed with glee as Kindra tore her gaze from Draco's face to hers. "Last night was wonderful." She put her arm around Draco's neck and shoulders.

Draco pushed her off. He headed to leave, not wanting to deal with this all, but changed his mind and knew it was better to get over with now. He looked to Pansy with disgust. Then he looked to Kindra with a sad look that went all the way down to his heart. He should have known better than to sleep with Pansy.

He tried to say something, but he couldn't manage the words. All that came out was"I… don't know."

Meaning hit Kindra like the wave of sadness had that morning. Only instead of being sad, she was pissed. "You bastard." She spat the words at his face like venom. She realized that she'd told him he could do just what he did, and then said, "So, did she give you that STD you wanted so badly?"

Kindra turned to Pansy and said, "You realize, I gave him permission to go off and shank you. He was just following my words, to the letter it seems. So your torrid affair last night? It was all my idea. I hope you enjoyed it, for both you sakes. You'll be having many more to come, as I won't be in either of your ways, anymore."

She turned to storm out, but Millicent was in the way. She suddenly had an idea. She turned her accidental-bumping-into-Millicent into an improvised passionate snogging session, complete with groping, moaning, and… other sounds.

Pansy had walked off, very disgusted that two females would even ever think of going at it. She had tried dragging off Draco, but he just stood there gawking with his mouth hanging open.

Millicent was caught by surprise at Kindra's sudden impulse. Non-the-less, she was enjoying this very much, but then noticed that there was not as much sound as a few moments before. She opened her eyes, and looked around, breaking the kiss/pulling match.

The very fist thing that she noticed was that almost everyone was either goggling at the small group near the doors, or whispering fervently to the others around them and pointing. Horrified, she took a few steps back from Kindra, looking around, for the way out. She soon found the doors, and fled, running full tilt back to the common room. She found her pillow somewhere on the floor among a jungle of cloths, threw it onto her bed, sobbing into it, wondering how the hell she was going to get out of this one.

Back in the Great Hall, Kindra was feeling horrible. Not only had she found out that her ex had gone off and had sex with one of the people she honestly hated the night they broke up, but her best friend, the only one she'd ever really been able to confide in, had just run from her in horror. She felt very alone.

Kindra looked to the teacher's table. Dumbledore was looking at her with a sad expression on his face. He looked at her with that gaze, the gaze where it looks like he's looking through her, into her soul, straight into the deep recesses of her mind. She looked down, ashamed of herself. Professor Snape was suddenly at her side, escorting both Draco and herself from the Great Hall. As the Hall's doors came to a close, full-fledged yelling broke out in there.

The walk to Snape's office was very long. Kindra couldn't bear to look at Draco, and Draco seemed to be too intrigued with his own thoughts to notice anything. Snape kept up a very fast pace, but it still felt like hours before they reached the door to the dungeons. Snape quickly brought out his wand from somewhere inside his robes, and quietly said a few words with his door. The door squeaked a little as it opened to the pass phrase, and the three of them went in.

AN: Sorry it took us so long to load this up. We had this done months ago and I just never got around to betaing it and posting it. We'll try not to have so much time to go by before we post again! Blessed be!
