Get Off My Cloud

Micayla woke up with a buzz in her ear. Keithi, her house elf was waking her up, so she could be ready and not miss the train. "Go 'way- sleepy." She grumbled. But then she remembered- Draco. Suddenly she wasn't so tired anymore. "Ok, I'm up!" Micayla pulled on her jeans and a Rolling Stones T-shirt. Micayla loved that band, and the fact that the lead singer's name was Mick Jagger. 'Draco loves the Stones too' she remembered the first time they had heard the Stones. They were 14, and they were going through Michael's old records. They had come across the single for 'Honky Tonk Women' and they had both loved it. Within an hour they knew all the words, as well as 'Satisfaction' and 'Jumpin' Jack Flash'. The latter had soon become Draco's anthem, as "She's a Rainbow' had become hers. Her father had noticed their love of the Rolling Stones, and he bought her a T-shirt and an album every year for her birthday. Soon she discovered Queen, and they joined the birthday tradition. Then Led Zeppelin, then The Beatles, then The Doors, and soon Micayla and Draco knew more about the 60's, the 70's and the 80's than their parents who had lived through them. Running a brush through her hair, Micayla looked at the time- 9.30. 'Mom and Dad will be wanting me down for breakfast.' She thought. "Keithi, can you pack my CD's and my walkman?" she asked over her shoulder, as she looked for her boots and her jacket. Micayla loved her jacket. It was just a black leather jacket, but she had decorated it with patches and badges. It was lovingly named 'the jacket that makes you want to sing' by herself and Draco. Micayla pulled on her boots, and started singing 'Jumpin Jack Flash' to herself.
As she was hopping down the stairs she smelt eggs and bacon. It was her favourite breakfast. And she was hungry.
Breakfast, as usual was exquisite. She had taken her time eating and it was now 10.30. Micayla ran upstairs, brushed her teeth and grabbed her bag, looked around the room to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything. She hadn't. Micayla checked in her bag to see what CD's Keithi had packed. Led Zeppelin? Check. The Stones? Check. Queen? Check.
Excellent.
It was 10.45 when they arrived at platform 9 ¾. Micayla stood on her toes to try and find Draco. Any glimpse of his blonde hair. But there was none. Micayla looked around and saw a group of people who looked about her age. As Micayla walked towards her she caught glimpses of their conversation.
"Has either of you seen Malfoy today? He's acting really weird. We were walking past him and Ginny's bag split, and he actually helped her gather her stuff! No snide comments or anything! I think he's sick or something." Said the redhead.
"Well, Ron, he could have grown up." Scolded a girl with bushy blonde hair.
"Um, sorry to interrupt, but are you talking about Draco Malfoy?" Micayla asked.
"yeah." Replied the redhead, Ron. "Who are you?"
"Ron!" scolded the girl again. "Hi. I'm Hermione Granger" as the Hermione introduced herself, Micayla was looking for Draco still.
"Micayla Jagger. Hi." Micayla held out her hand.
"Ron Weasley." Ron pushed aside Hermione's hand and quickly took Micayla's with both his hands and shook hers fervently.
"Hi. Yeah, I was wondering if you've seen Draco Malfoy. And if you have, do you know where he is?" Micayla asked politely.
The third boy, Harry Potter, who didn't even need to be introduced said "yeah, he's on the train already. He looked kinda anxious."
"Thanks, I'll see you around, right? I look forward to it." Said Micayla, before turning on her heel and walking onto the train.
"What a lovely girl." Hermione said.
"Pretty too" commented Harry, who was comparing Micayla to his girlfriend Ginny, with Ginny coming out on top by Harry's faithfulness.
"Pretty? She was bloody Gorgeous!" Ron practically yelled.
Hermione rolled her eyes, and Harry went to find Ginny.
Micayla was still walking around the train when it started, and when she finally found Draco, he was surrounded by people. Pansy Parkinson, in particular was desperately trying to make eye contact with Draco. "Drakie-wakie, what's wrong? Can I kiss it better?" Pansy was really desperate now that Draco had pulled out a book.
"Hi, Drakie-Wakie. Just to let you know I'm here." Micayla said, teasingly.
Draco looked up and grinned. He shook Pansy of his arm and he stepped over a sleeping Goyle, when he got near enough he reached over and pulled Micayla into a kiss. Which got deeper, and deeper, and only stopped when they had to come up for air. "Hi." Draco said. Micayla giggled when she looked past Draco into the cabin. A sleeping Goyle, shocked Blaise, and a sobbing Pansy were just plain funny. Draco looked past Micayla and what he saw was funnier. A white Hermione, a furious Ron, an oblivious Harry, and Snape, who was embarrassed was hilarious. Micayla looked up to see what Draco was laughing at. When she saw the Trio, she smiled and waved. But what she didn't understand with them was why Ron got angrier at this gesture, and Hermione went red and walked into the compartment pulling Ron along with her. Looking slightly to her left, Micayla saw Severus. "Hey, Sev. Oh, sorry. Professor Snape. That feels weird saying that." Micayla waved as Snape walked past them, nodding his head in acknowledgement. Micayla turned and looked for a seat, but Pansy had planted her feet on the seat next to her, and everywhere else was taken. Draco, who was glaring at Pansy, shrugged and said "Ok. You can just sit on my lap, then." And he smirked when Micayla rolled her eyes.
"Its kinda dull in here, you know. Oh, hi, I'm Micayla." She waved at Blaise, who's eyes got wider. "You're her? The Micayla that Draco is always going on about?" he said.
"Maybe. Draco may have some other girl in his life who co-incidentally called Micayla." Said Micayla.
This was when Pansy decided to try and put Micayla down. " I'm Pansy Parkinson. Draco's Girlfriend." And to prove her point she lent over and pecked Draco on the cheek. Draco's arms tightened around Micayla's waist. "I'm Micayla Jagger, Draco's fiancée." Micayla held out her left hand deliberately, so that the ring on her finger caught the light and glittered.
Pansy glared and went silent. Blaise was rolling around on the floor, with tears running down his cheeks he was laughing so hard. "We need music." Draco decided. Micayla nodded and grabbed her bag. "Who do we want?" she asked. "Oh, the Stones, definitely." Draco further decided. Micayla pulled out her I-pod and attached the speakers. She selected the Rolling Stones and soon the sounds of Satisfaction were filling the room. Micayla turned the volumed up louder and soon Micayla and Draco were singing along. By the time Jumpin Jack Flash came on, Pansy had left, and Blaise was dancing and windmilling along with Keith Richards like there was no tomorrow. Draco and Micayla joined in, and soon it was a party.
Hermione heard the music, and she, Ron, Harry and Ginny went to see the source of the music. Harry and Ron burst out laughing, but Hermione and Ginny walked up to the door and knocked on the door frame. "Can we join in?" asked Ginny. " Of Course!" Yelled Micayla over the music. When the lunch lady came by, Draco and Micayla bought everything on the trolley and invited Harry and Ron to come in and helped them eat.
So on the trip to Hogwarts, Harry and Ron had decided that maybe Draco Malfoy wasn't such a bad guy. Unless he was being a git.
