Chapter 39
The next day Jackie and Danielle both woke up very tired, however they were in high sprits. They were talking to each other in the common room.
"So what happened with you and Ian last night?" asked Jackie
"Well…" answered Danielle. "We were lying down on the couch, having a good time and then we got to 3rd base!"
Jackie's jaw dropped. "3rd base!"
"Yeah, you know 3rd base. You do know what that is right?"
"Yes, yes of course, but did you…touch it?"
Danielle nodded her head.
"Eww you nasty!"
Danielle laughed. "I'm in love. It's perfectly normal."
"So you didn't have sex with him?"
"Nope. Were both not really ready for something like that yet."
"Oh, that's cool." Jackie paused. "What made you decide that?"
"I just realized that I didn't want to lose my virginity in this common room, you know?"
"Yeah I know what you mean chika. It's absolutely filthy. The house-elves haven't been here for ages."
"It's because of Hermione. She keeps knitting those stupid hats for them."
"Do they take them?"
"Who knows."
"So, what else made you decide not to sleep with him?"
Danielle gave Jackie a look.
Jackie laughed. "I'm just curious."
"Well sex changes things. It does. So be sure, Jackie. Be real sure."
"What makes you think I want to have sex?"
"You're asking me all these questions! I would expect this from Nehal and Heather but YOU! You my friend are a sneaky one!"
"Yeah well Draco's just more experienced and it may complicate things a bit…in the future, when I'm actually ready and stuff."
"Speaking of Malfoy, what happened last night?"
Jackie blushed. "He asked me out. He said he missed me, and that his father wasn't in charge of his love life."
"Eeeeeee Jackie! That's great!" Danielle hugged Jackie.
"Hey, where's Heather?"
"Oh she wanted to wait until Neville left the common room to come."
"Ooh, she's afraid of him?"
The two girls turned and saw Heather and Tommy walking. Heather was eating an ice cream cone. Tommy shoved the ice cream in her face.
"Ahh!" screamed Heather
Tommy started licking the ice cream off.
Heather screamed again and ran towards her friends. "Hey guys! Let's go see Nehal!"
"Okay." answered Jackie and Danielle.
The three of them linked arms and walked to the hospital wing. Once they reached their destination, they saw Nehal lying in the hospital bed with a bandage wrapped around the top part of her head. She was still sleeping.
"Aww." said Jackie. "Poor Nehal."
"Don't worry Jaxs she'll live." replied Danielle.
The girls all laughed but the laughter shortly died down.
"Do you think she can hear us?" asked Jackie
Danielle shook her head. "I don't know."
"HELLO!" shouted Heather into Nehal's ear.
"Shh Heather!" hissed Jackie and Danielle
Nehal muttered. "Please let this be a dream." She opened her eyes. "Oh joy, is it morning yet?"
Heather laughed. "I think she can hear us."
Nehal rubbed her eyes. "Hey guys."
"What's up?"
"Nothing much you?"
"Nothing too much."
"That's good. I'm so tired and confused but other then that I'm cool. However, I am deeply upset that we lost the match. But I'm sure we'll win next year!"
Jackie said, "That's the spirit!"
"Omg guys! Professor McGonagall is freaking mad! She wants me to go to classes today!"
"Ouch that sucks." said Heather.
"But Nehal you can't go to class with your condition?" said Danielle
"My what now?"
"Yeah!" added Jackie. "You'll probably just fall asleep the minute the professor starts talking."
"Uh, don't I always do that?"
"Nope that's me Nehal!" corrected Heather.
"Oh…I see."
"We'll take notes for you though." suggested Danielle.
"Thanks for the offer. It's just I tried to tell that to McGonagall but she insists I attend each class to review for exams."
"But can't you just do that in here?" asked Jackie. "That's what I do... Cho and I would help each other out with our homework and stuff."
"No she wouldn't agree to that term! She's such a bitch."
"Nehal you can't call your professor the B word."
"I just did! Omg I need a miracle to save me now!"
"Omg Tylenol!"
"What about it?" questioned Danielle
Jackie exclaimed, "All you gotta do is overdose on the stuff and then you become sick as a dog. You throw up like all your food!"
Heather looked at Jackie. "Did that really happen?"
"Say what?"
"Did that really happen when you took those pills?"
"Pills?" scoffed Jackie. "The only pills I take are teenage vitamins that my mom insists I take everyday!"
Heather just stared at Jackie in disbelief.
Jackie avoided Heather's gaze. "So what do you say Nehal?"
Nehal answered, "I don't know Jackie it sounds really dangerous."
"Please gurlio, save the drama. It's harmless!"
Danielle said, "How would you know?"
"Oh I have my sources."
Heather said, "Jackie if you don't tell them, I'll tell Malfoy, about this drug problem you have!"
"I do not have a drug problem! And don't you dare tell Draco anything!"
"Drug problem?" said Danielle. "Guys…what's going on?"
"Jackie's abusing the use of Tylenol pills!" Before Heather could finish Jackie interrupted Heather with a bizarre remark.
"Heather snogged Ian!"
"What? I did not!"
Danielle's eyes widened and her gaze shifted to Heather. "Is this true?"
Heather, Danielle and Jackie suddenly started talking at rapid pace each telling a different story.
Nehal groaned. "Guys you're giving me a serious headache."
They still kept arguing.
"Shut up!"
They still argued.
"YO SHUT THE HELL UP! MY HEAD SERIOUSLY HURTS!"
The girls stopped.
"Omg Neh Neh we're so sorry." said Jackie who truly did sound sorry. "Are you okay?"
Nehal started breathing heavily. "I'm…fine…I just feel very angry." Nehal took a slow and deep breath. "Relax…don't get mad." Sweat started pouring down her face as she tried to control her temper.
Heather said, "Uh are you having a baby? Not the car baby but the actual baby?"
Danielle said, "Oh my gosh! Okay…spread your legs open!"
Jackie said, "Okay whatever you do not make her laugh or else it will shoot out like a cannon ball!"
Nehal laughed. "Guys I'm not having a baby."
Danielle and Jackie ignored Nehal and started saying. "Push! Push!"
Just then Madame Pomfrey came running into the room. "Girls, girls what's all the commotion in here?"
"Nehal's having a baby!" exclaimed Jackie
"Am not!"
Madame Pomfrey said, "Oh my goodness! You're off the wall! You can't go to classes acting like this!"
Nehal scoffed, "You think I'm off the wall? Look at those three. There like the three blind mice!"
"Oh, I think I see a head coming out." replied Heather
Madame Pomfrey raised an eyebrow at Heather.
Nehal said, "I honestly have no idea what's going on. First Jackie's on drugs, then Heather snogged Ian and then they think I'm going into labor!"
"WHAT?" said Danielle, Heather and Jackie
"I am not having a baby! I don't even know why you thought that in the first place!"
"Well you looked like you we're gonna have one." muttered Danielle
"It's a good thing I wasn't having one because I defiantly wouldn't trust you guys to deliver the baby!"
"Why not?" asked Jackie
Madame Pomfrey said, "I'll tell your head of the house that you're missing classes today. In the mean time I recommend you get some rest."
Nehal looked at her friends. "I think it's time you should go guys."
Jackie, Heather and Danielle looked at each other. They nodded their heads and said goodbye to Nehal who fell fast asleep.
The three girls arrived to DADA five minutes late, but Mr. K didn't notice.
Heather whispered to Danielle and Jackie. "Was Nehal moody today or what?"
Just then Colt sat down beside Jackie. "Hey Jackie."
Jackie looked back at her friends then back at Colt. "Hey."
"Is that a new bracelet?"
Jackie looked at the bracelet and a smile crept upon her pale face. "Yes. Yes it is." She didn't want to say she got it from Draco. "Well actually it's kind of old but I just haven't worn it in awhile."
"Oh…I see."
Rocky said, "Hey have you girls visited Nehal yet?"
"Yeah." Jackie, Danielle and Heather answered.
"Oh…well next time you go tell her Riley says he's sorry."
Danielle replied, "Well why can't get he get off his fat ass and tell it to her!"
"Because that would be cowardly."
Heather just stared at Rocky. "You're a sad strange little man."
"Really? And you find that attractive in a guy?"
"No, not really."
Jackie and Danielle sniggered.
Rocky blushed. Ever since the attempt of a relationship with Nehal, he hadn't been really lucky in the love department. He was desperate to get a girlfriend.
Jackie said, "Don't worry Rocky I'm sure you'll find that special someone."
Danielle rolled her eyes at Jackie's kindness and Heather looked disgusted.
Ring! The bell rang.
"You may leave now." said Mr. K.
Heather, Danielle and Jackie were on their way to their next class.
"Rocky is such a loser." commented Heather.
"Yeah I know." added Danielle. "But trust me when I say this, no girl is going to go out with him."
"Guys I feel sorry for him." said Jackie
"Why on earth would you feel sorry for him?" asked Heather
Jackie replied, "Well nobody wants to be alone and he's really desperate. Maybe we should set him up with someone."
"We?" said Danielle and Heather.
"Yeah! It will be fun!"
"Fun?" said Heather
Danielle said, "Jackie nobody wants to be with him. He's a total disgrace to our school."
"Danie! That was really mean." muttered Jackie.
"Okay! Well he has already asked ALL of the girl population. Well except the Gryffindor girls because he said that they bring him bad luck."
Heather laughed at this. "Good thing to!"
Jackie frowned. "What's wrong with us?"
"The question is not what's wrong with us; it's what's wrong with his nerdy behavior! I mean everyone knows how his date with Nehal went." said Heather.
"I know I was there! But there has to be someone who is willing enough to go out with him…."
"Well why don't you go out with him?"
"Me?"
"Yeah you."
"Okay 1. I have a boyfriend and 2. Rocky is kind of like Nehal's ex. Friends don't go out with their ex's. That's just like the rules of feminism!" (Mean girls! LOL)
"It can happen." reported Danielle. "If you're so desperate." Danielle smirked at Jackie.
"I'm not desperate! I just want to help a lonely soul!"
Danielle and Heather stared at Jackie for a second, before bursting into laughter.
"Shut up I'm serious!"
"Of course you are." said Heather. "Wow! Is Hermione having bad luck with the fellas or what? Look over there! She just got turned down by a group of second years!"
Jackie bit her nails, but then she got an expression when a light bulb goes over your head.
"You okay?" asked Danielle
"It's perfect! Hermione and Rocky. I can see it now!" Jackie said excitedly.
"Right…" said Heather. "Come on were gonna be late for Transfiguration!"
Meanwhile, in the hospital wing Nehal got an unexpected visitor. It was Riley. He walked over towards Nehal's bed. "Er…Nehal are you awake?"
Nehal replied, "You know for a Ravenclaw you're pretty dumb." She smiled at him. "I woke up five minutes ago. So what are you doing here? Don't you have class?"
"Well as far as Snape knows I went to the washroom."
"Okay what do you want?"
"I don't want anything."
"Yes you do."
"No I don't!"
"Then why did you come here?"
"I wanted to apologize." Riley put his hands in his pockets.
"For what?"
"I have a confession to make."
"Don't you always?"
Riley ignored the comment. "It was me who sent the bludger at you."
"Why you little-" Nehal started strangling Riley, Homer Simpson style. (LOL!)
"Nehal stop! Ouch! You're hurting me!"
"That's my intension!" snapped Nehal, but after a minute she let go. After an uncomfortable silence she said. "So…come to gloat about Quidditch?"
"No, I came to make it up to you!" Riley was talking so calmly that Nehal felt like strangling him again.
Nehal yanked his Ravenclaw tie as hard as she could but he was leaning over anyways. Before she knew it, she was kissing Riley. It was a soft and sweet kiss and Nehal was so surprised, she did not object. He then started to French kiss her, which she answered back to. She was still holding on to the tie, afraid that he might stop.
As they kissed Riley was loosing his tie. For a second Nehal thought he wanted to take off his shirt. "Not here." muttered Nehal.
Riley said, "Take it." He thrust the tie in her hand.
Nehal looked up at him and smiled. She took off her tie and gave it to him.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Riley kissed Nehal quickly on the cheek and departed.
"Yeah! See ya." Nehal said in a daze.
After Transfiguration, Danielle, Heather and Jackie were on their way to visit Nehal again. But Jackie saw Hermione head to the library.
Jackie said, "You guys go ahead I have some homework to catch up on."
Danielle said, "But Jackie we don't have any homework."
"Um…well I have to study. Bye!"
Heather whispered to Danielle. "What do you think she's up to?"
"I don't know. But I hope she's over the match maker idea."
So Danielle and Heather walked up to the hospital wing talking about Jackie, when Nehal saw them.
"Hey guys!" Nehal said in a bubbly tone.
Danielle and Heather stopped in their tracks.
"Okay…so before she was pissed and now she's happy to see us?" whispered Heather
Danielle smiled. "Somebody must have had a good sleep."
Nehal said, "Omg guess what?"
"What?" said Heather and Danielle
Nehal held up her new tie.
Heather's jaw dropped.
"Oh my gosh!" said an excited Danielle. "Who's the lucky guy?"
"Riley." answered Nehal
"Riley? But he smells." reported Danielle
"So? I can buy him cologne once we go on our first date."
Heather smiled. "You guys make such a good couple. Smart choice Nehal."
"Thanks!"
"But…he smells!" said Danielle
"There's more to guys then how they smell!"
"And he has no personality!"
"Well you smell too!" Nehal said angrily.
Danielle smelled her armpits. "I'll think I'll take a bath."
"Make that a bubble bath!" Heather called after Danielle. Heather then lay down next to Nehal telling her, her situation with Tommy and Neville.
Meanwhile, Jackie saw Hermione sitting at a desk in the library with a pile of books around her.
"Hi." Jackie said.
"Hi." said Hermione.
"Is this seat taken?"
"It is now."
Jackie sat down beside Hermione. "So did you study for the Care of Magical Creatures test?"
"Yes I did. How about you?"
"I…didn't really…."
"Don't worry all you have to remember is kittens prefer cream or fish generally speaking."
"Excuse me?"
Hermione laughed. "Kingdom phallom class order family genes species." (Yeah bio!)
Jackie was impressed. "Wow, you're like really smart eh?"
"Compared to what?"
"Well…me."
"Jackie your smart, you just need to complete all homework and assignments that are assigned by the professors."
"Well I'm smart enough to sit next to you. What was that kitten thing again?"
"Kittens prefer cream or fish generally speaking...or if you're not a cat person king Phillip comes over for good sex."
Jackie laughed. "Definitely not a cat person."
Hermione laughed as well. "However, I am a cat person!"
"Awesome! So how are you Hermione?"
"Well right now I'm trying to study."
"And your lonely right? Just a smidge."
"Jackie, whatever drugs you're on, save them for later, okay?"
"Hey!"
"Shh this is a library Jackie!"
"Also known as your second home." muttered Jackie.
Hermione gave Jackie the middle finger and continued studying.
"So…Hermione do you want me to set you up with someone?"
"No!"
"Oh come on gurlio. Please! I know someone who is perfect for you!"
"Who do you think is perfect for the one and only Hermione Granger?"
"Rocky Treanor."
"He's off my radar. And apparently I'm off his too considering he doesn't want to date Gryffindor girls."
"That was pot Rocky. He's totally back on track. And I think the new "old Rocky" would be open to discussing a relationship."
"Did he tell you that?"
"Yeah, sort of, kind of, not really."
"What are you up to, Jackie?"
"Nothing. I just want to see two people that are perfect for each other get together. Is that a crime?"
Hermione started to think about it. "Why do you want me to go out with Rocky so bad? Honestly, we don't have anything in common. I never see him come in the library."
"Maybe he doesn't know where the library is. But you two have lots in common. You both like bossing people around."
"I'm not bossy!"
"Yes you are!"
"Am not!"
"Listen Hermione, you're a really nice person but rarely anyone sees that but…Rocky does because he understands you and he can help."
"He can?"
"Yes he can. If you let him. Rocky secretly is in love with you. He told Colt who told me not to tell you, but this is a special occasion."
"What special occasion is it?"
"Pumpernickel day!" (Omg my friend and I made that day up! Ahaha, good times)
"Isn't Pumpernickel day everyday?"
"Exactly!"
"I don't know…"
"Come on, you've got nothing to lose. If anything, do it for the Pumpernickel!"
"Alright but he better let me give him a lap dance."
"Don't worry, I'm sure he will. I'm gonna go find him right now and tell him!"
Hermione smiled. "Thanks Jackie."
"Your welcome."
Now all Jackie had to do was find Rocky. She looked everywhere for him, the Quidditch pitch, great hall and even the room of requirements. Jackie thought, "He must be in the Hufflepuff common room." Just as she was about to head back to the library to tell Hermione that she couldn't find Rocky she spotted Colt.
Jackie said, "Colt! Hey there buddy how's it going?"
Colt answered, "Er…what do you want Jackie?"
"Why does everyone keep saying that?"
"Huh?"
"Oh right…do you know where Rocky is?"
"Yeah he's snogging some girl in the library!"
Jackie's jaw dropped. "Are you serious?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay this is not good. Okay um…you wouldn't happen to know who he's snogging by any chance?"
"Er…no sorry."
Jackie sighed. "Oh it's okay. Well I gotta go now Rocky…I mean Colt. Sorry I was just thinking of Rocky and I said…sorry."
"Hey, can I ask you something?"
"Sure COLT what is it?"
Colt kept a serious face. "I heard you're dating Malfoy now."
"Um….yeah I am."
"I can't believe it! How could you? After everything he's done and how much he hurt you! And remember we saw him with that Slytherin girl in the courtyard? He's a player Jackie!"
"I know, but I really like him."
"You like him for his money!"
"No, that's not it."
"Oh so it's for his good looks then?"
"Colt, why are you being like this?"
"I…"
Jackie raised her eyebrow.
"I need to tell you something."
"Okay, what is it?"
"Well I really need to tell you that I really like you. I mean Malfoy is so lucky to have you."
Jackie was shocked. She wasn't sure how to reply to this. All these thoughts were floating in her head of how she must have mislead Colt into thinking that she liked him when really she was using him. "Well I'm sure any girl would be lucky to have you!"
"But I want you to be that girl!"
"I don't deserve to be."
"What do you mean?"
"I…I also need to tell you something."
"Go on."
"I don't know how to say this. I…I was only using you to make Draco jealous. I'm so sorry Colt, you have no idea. I feel so horrible for what I did."
"So our friendship has been a lie?"
"I…"
Colt looked furious. "I have nothing to say to you." He walked past Jackie who looked like she was on the verge of tears.
Jackie felt horrible. But she knew she still had to get Hermione and Rocky together. So she looked around the library for Rocky. She turned around a corner and to her surprise saw that the girl Rocky was snogging was Hermione. Jackie just stood there in shock. "Okay this is weird." Jackie thought. "Usually when you play match maker you have to set them up not they set each other up." Jackie smiled feeling happy for Hermione and she walked back to the Gryffindor common room.
In the common room Heather and Danielle were playing Wizards chess.
Jackie said, "Hey guys! Thanks to me Hermione and Rocky are making out in the library!"
"Wow Jackie that was fast!" commented Danielle
"Well they'll probably get kicked out." added Heather. She then screamed.
"What's wrong?" asked Danielle.
"Nothing."
Danielle looked at Jackie. "Did you make them kiss each other?"
"No! I went to find Rocky, but I didn't find him so I went back to the library to tell Hermione that and I found them making out."
"Two of a kind I guess."
Heather screamed again and jumped under the table. Neville walked out of the common room. Heather then re-emerged from under the table.
Jackie and Danielle looked at each other.
"Heather are you okay?" asked Jackie
Danielle said, "I think she's going through her heartache phase."
"Oh…I gotcha. I know how that goes."
Heather said, "I'm okay, I'm okay. Really I'm okay. I'm good."
A week later Nehal was released from the hospital wing. On the way to class, someone was blocking her way. "Excuse me! I have to get to class!" Nehal looked up and saw Riley. "Oh! Hi!" Nehal smiled up at him.
"Hey cutie." replied Riley. He leaned in and kissed her.
The two of them started to make out.
"Wait! I gotta get to class!" said Nehal. "Maybe we can continue this later." With that she ran off. Nehal was running so fast that she didn't realize that she bumped into someone. "Watch where you're going!"
"Pradhan?"
"Oh, hey Malfoy."
Draco looked angry. "Flirting with the enemy?"
"Huh? What on earth are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about Applebalm." (LOL that sounds funny)
"Shut up Draco! He's not the enemy!"
"And how…"
"Well…er…Riley is…" Nehal had no idea why she was acting so stupid.
"Forget about it! I'm not going to waste my time on a slut!" Draco left, leaving a very hurt Nehal.
"If you really want to know, pay-pay attention to gossip!" Nehal shouted, anger boiling inside her. "But considering you're so blind and deaf…I doubt it!"
Several students looked at Nehal.
"What are you looking at?" Nehal said angrily.
The students backed away frightened and ran away.
Nehal smiled, being proud of herself scaring students. She then walked to the Gryffindor common room. She slouched down in an available armchair. She focused on the fireplace in front of her.
"Nehal what's wrong?" asked Danielle. She sat down across from Nehal.
"Danie, do you think I'm a slut?"
"No why?"
"Because a certain stupid git called me one." Nehal glared at Jackie while she said this.
"Nehal I didn't call you a slut!" protested Jackie.
"Oh come on Jackie! Use your brains if you have any!"
Danielle and Heather gaped at Nehal.
Jackie however was thinking this over. "I use one side of my brain more, I'm not sure which one though, I think it's the left side because I'm not good at Math and Science. Or is it the right side? Is that what you mean Neh Neh?"
Nehal glared at Jackie and ran up the stairs, slamming the dorm door.
Heather looked at Jackie. She quietly said, "I don't think that's what she meant."
Danielle replied, "Jaxs you should have chit-chat with Malfoy."
Jackie sighed. "Okay, I'll see if I can find him."
"Maybe he joined in on the fun with Hermione and Rocky." said Heather.
Jackie laughed. "Yeah maybe."
Danielle however didn't find this situation funny. "I'm going to check on Nehal."
"You'd be lucky to come out in one piece, if she's real mad!" said Heather
"Thanks for the comforting thought Heather!" Danielle said sarcastically and left.
"Anytime!" Heather said cheerfully.
Meanwhile Jackie was standing outside the common room when she realized that she had no idea where to find Draco. "Where would Draco Malfoy be at this hour?" Jackie said this out loud to herself.
"Try tormenting a poor first year!" answered the fat lady.
"OMG! Of course! Thanks a bunch!" Jackie ran to where the first year students hung out.
"Wow!" said the fat lady. "That's the first time in 60 years that I helped anyone and received a thank you."
"I swear I heard the fat lady speak to herself." said Parvarti to Lavender.
"Weird." said Lavender shaking her head.
When Jackie reached the hallway, she saw a first year Hufflepuff boy begging to have his stuff back as his bag was being passed from Draco to Sean. (Monkey in the middle thing) All of the other first years that were there were huddled in a corner looking scared.
Jackie crossed her arms over her chest. "That's so mean." She thought.
"Give it back please!" begged the first year. "My mom bought me that!"
Draco and Sean laughed.
"Should we give it back?" asked Sean
"No." answered Draco. "I'm having too much fun now. Let the baby cry!"
The first year saw Jackie watching him and felt even more terrified.
Jackie gave him a comforting smile.
Sean threw the bag to Draco before Draco could catch it Jackie intercepted it and caught it with her Quidditch reflexes. "Here you go." She said sweetly handing the bag to the boy.
The first year boy looked up at Jackie trustingly. "Thank you. Gryffindors rock!"
Jackie smiled. Draco frowned. Sean scowled and the first year ran off. (LOL)
"Why'd you do that?" demanded Draco
"Yeah! Like to spoil our fun?" sneered Sean
Jackie turned to face Draco. "Draco, I came here to talk to you about something that happened today, but I changed my mind."
"Wait! I thought we were going out!"
"That does not give you the right to call Nehal a slut!"
"Well wouldn't you call her that if she started kissing anyone and everyone!"
"Draco! She has a boyfriend."
"She was kissing that asshole Applebalm!"
"That is her boyfriend Draco! Notice her tie?"
Draco gaped at Jackie.
"Nehal has gone over to the dark side." whispered Sean.
Draco and Jackie looked at Sean.
Jackie rolled her eyes. "Anyways…Draco I think you should apologize to her."
"But Malfoy's don't apologize! It's like meaning defeat!"
"But you've apologized to me before?"
"Yeah well…" Draco scratched his head. "You're different."
"How so? I'm still a Gryffindor!"
"Yeah but…" Draco looked at Sean for help.
Sean said, "You're on your own Malfoy." He then walked away.
"Draco please!" Jackie gave Draco a cute look.
"I just can't picture myself apologizing to her."
"Pleassse! Come on Draco. Do this for me."
Draco sighed and looked away from Jackie for a few seconds then turned back to his girlfriend who was still giving him a cute look. "Okay then sweets. But not in front of everyone!"
"Thank you, thank you!"
Draco then took off his Slytherin tie.
"What are you-oh…I get it. Yeah we forgot about that!"
So the couple exchanged their ties.
"Bloody hell." Draco said putting on his tie as Jackie put on her Slytherin one. "I look handsome!"
Jackie laughed.
They both inched forward and kissed. Jackie was speechless. He was such a great kisser. And Draco felt the same way. Some how they had got caught up in the moment and Jackie sat in Draco's lap, and they were passionately kissing. Draco had his hands protectively wrapped around her waist and her hands round his neck.
"Morning Malfoy!" said Theodore who was walking by.
"Hey Nott!" Draco said doing the nod thing.
Jackie blushed and looked away from Theodore; she unlike Draco was embarrassed about this situation.
Theodore just laughed and smiled at the couple. "Don't mind me go about you business." He shook his head and kept walking.
Jackie and Draco took one look at each other and burst out laughing, Jackie still in Draco's lap.
Jackie smiled at Draco. "You have made me the happiest girl in the world!"
"Well that's good, because you have made me the luckiest guy in the world!" Draco stroked her cheek.
They shared a light kiss.
Jackie said, "Come on we better go eat now. I'm hungry."
Draco laughed.
Jackie got off his lap and he pouted. "Come on lover boy" She pulled Draco to his feet.
They held hands. Jackie looked at him. "Are you gonna sit at the Gryffindor table?"
"Yeah…I guess I could do that."
Jackie smiled. She had an urge to jump and down. She was dating Draco Malfoy the sex god. She didn't care about what Colt said before; she had finally got her man.
When Jackie and Draco headed to the Gryffindor table, Heather, Tommy, Danielle and Ian burst out laughing. (Let's just say Ian also decided to sit at the Gryffindor table)
Nehal didn't laugh because Riley wasn't sitting with her and she still was upset about that comment Draco had said to her. Usually things like this didn't upset her but the words coming from Draco's mouth did. She had become such good friends with him. She avoided looking at Jackie and Draco.
Jackie noticed this but decided to question Nehal later.
"What?" asked Draco, when they all kept laughing.
"Sorry, but perky peach just isn't your color!" Danielle laughed.
Draco had Jackie's lip gloss smeared all over his lips.
"Hey don't make fun of my boyfriend!" Jackie said as she wrapped an arm around Draco's waist.
"Yeah don't make fun of me." said Draco. It only caused them to laugh harder.
"Here let me get it for you." Jackie smirked her own little smirk. It drove Draco wild. They shared a long kiss, with tongues everywhere, but somehow they managed to get the lip gloss all cleared off.
Nehal rolled her eyes.
"Eww that's enough you two!" shrieked Heather.
"Yeah, we don't need to watch you swallow each other whole before lunch" Tommy told them.
"Your turning into Danielle and I!" commented Ian.
"Oh shut up!" said Draco.
Jackie made a mental note to do a lip gloss check the next time she kissed Draco.
The next day Nehal was in the girls' dorm reading when Jackie walked into the room. Nehal hadn't noticed Jackie yet because she was so absorbed in her book. With a bright flash Jackie took a picture of Nehal, using a Polaroid camera. (Got this idea from a One Tree Hill episode)
Nehal looked behind her. "What are you doing here?"
Jackie replied, "Documenting. A day without cheer. Hour one. There's something wrong with this picture though. Oh I know what it is, I'm not in it!" Jackie walked over to Nehal. "Come here." Nehal leaned in closer and Jackie took a picture of the both of them. "Would you please read your freaky anime books later? Let's go do something fun!"
"What about Draco? I'm sure he'd be up for some fun. Probably some Polaroid's too." said Nehal.
"Draco, the monkey in the room."
"Elephant."
Jackie laughed. "Whateves. Look I came to make sure there's no weirdness about that. You're one of my best friends and I would never cut you out for a guy. Okay? No matter who he is or how happy he makes me."
"Jackie, I'm cool with you and Draco."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, I just want to read for a little bit. How about a rain check?"
"Count on it." Jackie held up her fist. "Hoes over bros."
"Chicks over dicks." Nehal held her fist and bumped Jackie's.
"Can I borrow this camera?"
"Don't ask me it's Hermione's."
"Oh well I'm taking it. Incase Draco's feeling frisky." Jackie left the room.
Nehal looked at the picture of her and Jackie and smiled to herself, watching Jackie's retreating back.
The next day….
The four Gryffindors had double Potions with the Slytherins. Nehal was fine until she heard that she had been teamed up with Draco. Danielle was with Ian, Heather with Sean, and Jackie with Cory. It seemed that only Danielle was fine with the arrangement. The other three glowered at their partners, with distaste.
"Oh goodie!" said Nehal said sarcastically, Malfoy's my partner! I feel so lucky!"
"You should be Miss. Pradhan! He is an ace at Potions!" said Professor Snape. Nehal jumped in alarm. She had no idea that he was behind her, much less heard what she had said.
"Of course! How silly of me!" Nehal glared at Draco and started copying the ingredients from the board.
"Look…Nehal I have something to say." started Draco.
Nehal looked up expectantly, but was interrupted by Snape again.
Professor Snape said, "Mr. Malfoy why on earth are you wearing a Gryffindor tie!"
"Well sir it's because I'm going out with one."
"Oh. Who's the girl?"
Draco glared at Snape. "Jackie Allan."
Professor Snape pondered for a few minutes. "20 points off Gryffindor!"
"Say what?" said Jackie
"Be quiet Miss Allan or else I'll make it 40 points off!" His gaze then switched to Nehal. "And whose tie is that?"
"Riley Appelbalm's." answered Heather
Nehal looked at Heather and gave her the evil eye.
Professor Snape said, "Interesting, oh well 20 points off." When Nehal ignored him he said, "Actually 40 points off!" This made Nehal look up surprised. "For torturing a good boy like Riley."
"Well said!" clapped Cory, which the Slytherins followed.
Nehal looked at Draco. "You got something to say?"
Draco replied, "Yeah! I'm sorry for calling you a slut…and be careful with Applebalm!"
"I don't believe you!"
For the rest of the period Nehal ignored Draco.
Danielle smiled at Ian. "Isn't it cool that we're partnered together?"
"Yeah it's awesome!" exclaimed Ian
They were silent as Ian stirred the potion.
"Oh Ian, hunny you have to stir it counter-clockwise."
"Oh…"
"It's okay, I'll do it. Like this." Danielle spun it counter-clockwise
Ian laughed. "You're a Gryffindor! I'm supposed to be better then you at potions!"
"Well looks you're not better then me!" Danielle stuck her tongue out.
Heather watched Sean put the ingredients in the potion. "Uh do you know what you're doing?"
Sean said, "No not really."
"Okay then we're screwed!"
"Hey not so loud Snape will hear you!"
"Who cares if he hears me? Who cares if the whole world hears me?"
Sean put his hands over his ears as Heather wailed on about them both being bad at potions. "Please be quiet!"
"No way! I'm expressing my emotions. You got a problem with that?"
"Yeah actually I do-"
"Great! Then you can sort it out with my lawyer then."
"You have a lawyer?"
"What you don't?"
"I-"
"Kidding!"
"I feel sorry for Riley." said Cory.
"Why?" asked Jackie
"Well after dumping the other three girls and after snogging them, he has lost his good choice in girls."
"Snogging? Three of them?" repeated Jackie, who looked worriedly over to Nehal, who appeared to be ignoring Draco. Jackie thought. "No one has dumped Nehal yet…I bet Riley's bidding his time. I better warn her."
"I will miss Hogwarts! Mom has made me an exchange student. Someone from Durmstrang is coming next year."
"You're leaving?"
Cory nodded.
Jackie thought, "I can't wait till next year!" She then put on a fake smile and said, "Oh my gosh Cory I'm gonna miss you so much."
"I doubt that."
"No really, I mean it."
"Well…we didn't really get together, if you know what I mean." He winked at Jackie.
"Eww!"
Ring! The bell rang!
Nehal was busy gathering her potions supplies up.
Draco decided to try his apology again. "I'm sorry Nehal. I didn't know you were dating Applebalm at the time."
"It's alright, I forgive you."
"Good because for a minute there I thought I was going to have to apologize again and find another partner in crime."
Nehal smiled. Before she could say something Jackie walked back into the potions room.
Jackie said, "Aww you guys that was so cute." She wrapped her arms around both their shoulders.
Nehal and Draco looked at Jackie puzzled.
"We were just apologizing Jaxs." said Nehal. "Or should I say Malfoy was the one doing the apologizing."
"And you accepted it!" exclaimed Jackie. "That was so nice of you. I think I'm gonna cry."
"Yeah you do that, while I change the subject."
"Ooo yes. What's the latest scandal?"
Draco and Nehal looked at each other.
"You two never have any good gossip."
"Irish blood, English heart is what I'm afraid of. There is nothing that I am afraid of!" said Heather breaking the silence. She followed by Tommy, Danielle and Ian walked back into the classroom.
"Heather! They're having a tender moment!" exclaimed Danielle
"Yeah Heather!" added Ian.
"Leave Heather alone!" said Tommy
Suddenly the group all had a group hug. (Aww)
Colin Creevy ran by, took a picture and jumped out the window.
Nehal ran to the window to see if Colin was still there. "Damn you!" She made a fist.
A/N: Yeah I know that chapter was long. Okay so the next chapter is the very last chapter of this story. It's so sad! (Tear goes rolling down my face) But there will be a third story in the series if you want. Just review and let me know, thanks.
