Disclaimer: Ok, so I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters or the actors that play them, but I do have minions. They're cute minions, except for when I tell them to eat you. So, R and R, and I won't have to make you my minions' LUNCH! Oh, and the line about 'Her name is Aphrodite, Venus, take your pick.' was stolen from 'A Knight's Tale,' so I'm going to give them proper credit. And if you're ever bored and need a good movie to watch, THAT'S A GOOD ONE!!

Chapter 3
The Goddess of LOVE?!

'She figured something out about me...I just know she did. No one has ever smiled at me that way before. Come to think of it, I can't really recall someone out of my immediate family that's EVER smiled at me on their own will. I've never told anyone anything about my life, so why does Ephyra, OF ALL PEOPLE, have to figure something out?'

Draco sat in bed thinking about the last 3 hours. Ephyra had smiled at him, Pansy had told him that she loves him and would do anything to be with him (as if no one couldn't already have figured that one out), and then they snogged madly for an hour and a half. 'She's not half bad a kisser, either....' And Draco was pretty damn sure that Ephyra had figured out something about him. But what, he had no freakin' clue.

'I need to figure out how to ask her about tonight. Yeah, right, so what do I say to her? Oh, I know! I'll just walk up and casually ask, "Hey Effy, you know at the banquet when we were both staring absent-mindedly around the Great Hall and then our eyes somehow got pulled to each other by an unseen force? Yeah, well I have the strange feeling that you found out something about me that I'm not sure I want you to know. Soooo...let's just step inside this janitors closet and you can tell me what it is you found out about yours truly. And while you're at it, we can make out profusely.'

...

'WHERE THE BLOODY HELL DID THAT COME FROM?!'

Draco shot up in bed, sweating. 'Ok, I really need to get Ephyra out of my mind. Soo, what to do, what to do? Read? Nah, the only book I like, I've read about a hundred times. Study? Pfff, yeah right. Do homework? Already done. Take a walk? Hey, yeah, that works! It'll get my mind off of that Mudblood.'

'WHOA! I did NOT just call her a Mudblood. Oh my God, I did. She's not a Mudblood! Ok, maybe she is, but she's better than that! She's Venus, Aphrodite, take your pick.'

...

'Ok, WAIT, so now I'm thinking of her as the Goddess of LOVE?! Ok, I really do need to get out.'

Draco got out of bed and slipped on a shirt and some pants (since he only slept in his boxers) and silently walked out the door. The halls were silent and serene, just perfect for thought. But Draco didn't want thought. He needed something to get his mind away from it's own thinking...yeah.... Ok, don't dwell on confusing things, you might get hurt from and over load of the brain-cell kind.

Draco didn't see or hear anybody. He walked past the dungeons, up around by the Room of Requirement (which he had found very useful since Potter and his little 'buddies' had a secret DADA club, which was crap). No, one of his little 'buddies' is Ephyra. I can't bash on her. So what, now I can't bash on Potter? Being in love sucks.

...

In love.... Since when was I in LOVE with her? Bloody hell, I need to sit down....

Draco slid down the wall by Snape's room and rested his head in his hands. Love, this was too much for him to handle. If his subconscious told him he was in love, then he was. Draco had learned to trust his instincts.

Suddenly, footsteps could be heard in the corridor beside the one Draco was in. He looked up and decided not to linger. Not wanting to talk to anyone, he hid in the nook by Snape's door. A girl walked past slowly, taking a midnight stroll, just as Draco was. Her blond hair went by slowly, and Draco could see a Gryffindor Lion on her robes.

Oh shit, just what I need....

Draco shot out against his willpower and grabbed her hand. She spun around to look at Draco, her blue eyes bright and cheerful even though the dungeon was dark and dreary.

"Draco."

"Hello Ephyra. What are you doing down here?"

"Uhh, I was just..." But Ephyra couldn't finish, hence Draco's lips against hers. ________________________________________________________

Now to my reviews...a measly 2 reviews.... C'MON PEOPLE, STEP UP TO THE PLATE WITH IT!! Not that I'm not appriciative of my 2 reviewers...even though one of them is one of my best friends and I told him to read it...and review it...he was my first reviewer. God, I'm a loser....

K. Sparrow-Glad you thought it was 'kool'! :D

well_hi-THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING ME BRANNON! (This is my friend, BTW.) I tried to add more humor in this one. And Kristina made me write Chapter Four today in her notebook, so once I get some more reviews, I'll post it, and that has some humor in it too. Not as much as this one, but still.... Or, ya know, I could just post it for the heck of it! LoL
