Chapter 10- Fraternizing with the Enemy

When I woke up the next day, I had hoped that Draco would there by my side, but unfortunately he wasn't. Yesterday was horrible, I have never seen that side of Draco before, I should find him so I can apologize. I carefully got up from my spot on the ground and worked the stiffness out of my muscles. Before I left the cave I went around to check and see if he even came home last night, but I was sad to say he didn't. Quickly I left and went to search for Draco. Where could he be? My head was swimming with possibilities. Maybe he is at the beach. With a burst of energy I ran to the beach as fast as I could, hoping that if he was there he wouldn't be gone by the time I made it there. When I did make it to the beach, I found no sign that e was there. Crap! He's not here. I had made it my mission to find where the hell Draco had went. Suddenly I figured that if he wanted to be found, he would be, but if he didn't I was screwed. Please let him want to be found. My mission was to find Draco, and he definitely was not at the beach. Slowly I turned and walked away not knowing that a certain blonde haired guy was watching me from the shadows. When I got to the edge of the forest, I stopped and pondered where he could be. After standing there for a couple of minutes, I decided I should check every place I could think of on the island.

"Ok," I said talking to myself, "I guess I could check the cave again, and then maybe the forest." After I realized I was talking to myself I shut up and started walking. Since I had all the time in the world (that is if he wasn't dead), I walked at a leisurely pace back to the cave. When I made it back there, again, I realized he didn't come back. Feeling a tad bit famished, I went to the corner and picked up three bananas, two for later and one for now. I took one more look around and with my peeled banana in hand, I walked out. Hmmmm, where to go to next? Not picking any particular route. I just started walking deeper and deeper into the forest. While I was munching on my banana I started talking to myself again, but this time in my head. I can't believe his life was like that. I mean I knew his Dad was horrible, but to hit his own son? I wonder how long this has been going on. His poor mother, poor him. He had to listen to THAT! He came out surprisingly well, well not really. Wait he is pretty good guy once you get to know him. Wait did I just say he was a good guy. HOLY MERLIN, I AM FRATERNIZING WITH THE ENEMY! That last part shook me out of my trance. "I'm not, am I?" I said aloud quietly. I decided that I should stay focused and stop my mind from wandering. Basically I continued to walk for hours, visiting every crevice, hole, and cave. It seemed as though I had walked a straight line through the forest because, I ended up on the beach. Not the beach by out cave but the other side of it. I should take a break and eat those other bananas I have, but first I should walk to the part of the beach I am familiar with. It took an hour for me to get back to our beach. When I got there I went and sat beneath a giant tree and ate the two bananas. After that was done I looked for signs of Draco on the beach again, but a las, nothing. I turned away and let my shoulder slump in defeat, when I heard a familiar voice call to me.

"Oi Granger, giving up so easily?" Draco said to me

"Draco is that you?" I called into the wind

"No, it's the bloody tooth faerie." he said with sarcasm laced on every word

"Draco you let me look for you for hours, what the hell is wrong with you?" I said angrily

"It was fun watching you look for me, when I was right under your nose." he said, but by the way he said it, I could tell he was smirking.

"What, is that some type of fetish?" I said this time with a smirk

"What ever helps you sleep at night" Draco said

"So where are you anyways" I said curiously

"Well you are pretty warm" he said matter of factly

"What? Why don't you just tell me?" I asked him

"'Cause, that would be no fun on my part" Draco said from some where

"I swear you have a fetish" I mumbled

"Hey! What did I tell you about mumbling" he said with a laugh

"Sod off Draco" I said now very annoyed

"Well you are warm" Draco said with out caring

Damn, why couldn't he be ugly? "Fine" I said and moved closer to where I was sitting under the tree.

"Hot" he said.

I continued to walk past tree.

"Whoops now your warm Granger" he said

I back tracked to where the tree is. By now I was standing directly in front of it.

"Ok you're on fire now" he said

"What the hell?" I said "that's not possible, you aren't a tree."

"Ahh use your brain Granger" he said

Suddenly it hit me, his voice was coming from up above me. So quickly I looked up and was rewarded to find a shirtless Draco. He carefully picked up shirt and hung down from the branch. His biceps flexing. Wow, he has the V. I carefully rid my head of the thoughts and looked away.

"So what do you want Granger?" He asked eyeing me carefully

"I wanted to say I was sorry, and I didn't know about your life and I shouldn't have said that." I said genuinely. I noticed his mood dampen a little bit.

"Well, how could you." he said with his head down. Wow.

"Um since your all depressed I could tell you a joke, or somethin" I said looking at his eyes. What the hell? Why are his eyes blue, weren't they gray?

"Sure, why not" he said with a shrug

"Ok, why did the monkey fall out of the tree?" I asked him

"Uhh I dunno" he said

"Cuz it was dead" I said with a laugh. Draco looked at me then all of a sudden he broke out laughing

"That...was...the..stupidest...joke...I...have...ever heard" Draco said trying to catch his breath.

"Oh yeah?" I challenged "if it's so stupid then why are you laughing?"

"Because it was so stupid it was funny" he said

"Like you could tell a better one" I said to him

"I could" he said

"Oh yeah, prove it!" I challenged him

"Ok, three guys were sitting at a bar, and one says "I found a pack of cigarettes in my daughters room, I didn't know she smoked". The other guys says "well I found a beer can in my daughter room, I didn't know she drank." Well the next guy says "I found a condom in my daughters room, I didn't know she had a dick!"

All of a sudden I started laughing really hard. So hard I snorted.

"Did you just snort?" Draco asked me

"Of course not" I said to him. By this time he was walking towards me

"Are you sure?" he said now directly in front of me

"Uhh huh" I said nodding my head. Before I could react Draco was on me doing the unimaginable, he was TICKLING ME!

"OMG... Draco...Stop!" I said laughing, and then suddenly it happened, I snorted.

"Ahh Haa, I knew it" he said in a know it all tone

"Meanie" I said and tried to push him, but he caught my arms and pulled me into a hold, so that my arms were pinned against his chest. We were suddenly aware of what position we were in. I looked up into his eyes which were now gray. Ohh crap, the last time his eyes were gray, he was screaming at me. He bent his head closer to mine. I closed my eyes waiting for him to start yelling, but instead he kissed me. I was in so much shock that I didn't respond, but when I did, it was fantastic. He let go of m arms and mine went around his neck and then instinctively to his hair. Soon his tongue was in my mouth exploring, but all the while I was thinking, I'm fraternizing with the enemy, and I definitely like it.
