On The Train
Like I said…interesting happenings between Leah and Draco. Hope you enjoy this chapter.
Leah woke up on September the first at 8 in the morning. This would be the first and last time that she went to the station alone. Thank god it was the last year. Unless Dumbledore was serious and Leah actually got a job there in the future. She just wanted to think about now.
She took a shower and changed into a really light blue halter top (blue version of the shirt that Anna Faris Cindy wore in Scary Movie 3 at Brenda's house) and black shorts. Leah brushed her hair then crimped it. By the time she was done her make-up, it was almost ten-thirty. She took her trunk down the stairs and out of the house. She threw it into the car. Leah had already made plans with Remus that he would drive the car back and look after the house for her.
By the time Leah got to the station, there was ten minutes until the train was supposed to leave. Leah took out her letter and checked to see where she was supposed to go. A few days after the wedding, Leah got her letter saying that she was Head Girl (surprise, surprise). There was a compartment at the front of the train that she was supposed to go to.
"Leah! There you are!" Leah turned at the sound of Ginny's voice. Ginny and Hermione rushed over to her. "Are you gonna sit with us?"
"Can't." Leah said, holding up her badge.
"Oh my god! Congratulations!" Hermione said, hugging Leah.
"We knew it would be you. It was either you or Hermione but since Herm didn't get it then we all knew it would be you." Ginny said. "Well…we'll see you at school ok?"
"Yep." Leah said, nodding. She went one way while the other two went the other way. She found the right compartment with no problems. She put her trunk in the right spot before sitting down with her feet on the seat in front of her. Leah looked around. It was a huge compartment with lots of space. Leah couldn't help but think that she and her four dancers could probably dance in it and still have some space. The Head Boy was MIA at the moment. Obviously not for long because the door slid open and Leah looked up.
"Well…I expected to see Granger." Draco said.
"Really isn't anyone else to expect but you." Leah muttered.
"I'm flattered." Draco said.
"Don't be." Leah said. Draco sighed. He put his trunk away before pushing Leah's feet off the seat and sitting down. This time Leah sighed. The door slid open again and McGonagall stepped into the compartment.
"Good morning." She said. The two teens nodded. "I only have a few things to say to you…then you two are free to do as you please."
"What's the up?" Leah asked. McGonagall was used to Leah by now so didn't bother asking what she meant. Draco looked between Leah and McGonagall.
"You will have a number of duties." McGonagall said. "Such as patrolling the corridors for trouble makers, handing out detentions and adding or taking away points. That doesn't mean that you are allowed to take points away just because you don't like someone or their house. Or give points because you do." Her eyes lingered on Draco for a moment, as did Leah's. "If I have any reason to believe you two are doing that, I will ask you to give me a written statement as to why someone should get points or have them taken away."
"Don't worry professor." Leah said.
"You also have certain privileges." McGonagall said. "You have no curfew and are allowed in most areas of the school. You are also allowed to plan events, such as dances. But they must be approved by either myself or the headmaster." Leah and Draco nodded. "You will also have your own common room and bedrooms."
"Cool." Leah said. "What do we get…or is the common room and bedrooms it?"
"No." McGonagall said. "There is the common room, a bedroom for each of you, a bathroom in between, and a kitchen. There will also be another room where you may do work or, in your case Miss Black, write songs." Leah smiled. "Well…that is everything. At the end of the meal come to me and I will show you where your new living quarters will be."
"Ok." Draco said. McGonagall left. Leah and Draco didn't move. "I think your boyfriend is waiting for you."
"What?" Leah asked, looking up. "Oh right." She stood up at the same time as Draco. "What are you doing?"
"I don't know." Draco said. Leah rolled her eyes and headed to the door. Draco grabbed her arm and stopped her.
"Now what?" Leah asked. Draco shrugged. Leah smirked. "You confused now?" Again, Draco shrugged. "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" She didn't let Draco reply because she pulled her arm back so fast that he got pulled to her. Leah wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
To say Draco was shocked would be an understatement. His body reacted on its own accord though. His hands went to Leah's waist as he pushed her back against the wall next to the door. Leah moaned slightly as the cold wall hit her bare back. Her hands slid down Draco's chest and stomach to the waist of his pants. She moved so that now Draco was the one pinned against the wall She continued to kiss him for a while the pulled away with a smirk on her face.
"Well…I think I'm gonna go see my boyfriend now." Leah said. She left the compartment faster then Draco could react. She didn't go find Blaise though, she went and found Hermione and Ginny with Harry, Ron, Neville and Luna.
"So who's head boy?" Ron asked.
"Who else would it be?" Leah said.
"Malfoy." Harry grumbled.
"Bingo." Leah said, smirking. "I think I might actually have fun this year."
"Why? What are you planning on doing?" Hermione asked.
"You'll see." Leah said.
"You can give out points right?" Ron asked. Leah nodded. "Well how about giving us some points?"
"For what? Haven't earned any yet." Leah said.
"We're your friends." Ron said.
"So? McGonagall already said that if I misuse the points thing, I gotta give her a written statement every time I wanna give points or take them away." Leah said.
"So we still gotta earn them?" Ron asked. Leah nodded. "Damn."
"On the plus side…Malfoy can't take away points from you guys without a logical reason." Leah said. Ron looked relieved. Leah spent another hour with them before heading back to the head compartment. Draco was gone. She pulled out a magic CD player and turned it on before dancing.
"Man…this place is huge." Leah jumped at the sound of Blaise's voice. She turned and saw him standing in the doorway. "I mean…look…you can dance in it no problem." Leah laughed and shook her head. Blaise smirked.
"You are so weird." Leah said.
"Is that a problem?" Blaise asked, walking into the compartment. Leah shook her head and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Just if you're wondering. Drake told me your head girl."
"He did, did he?" Leah said, wondering what else Draco said.
"Yeah." Blaise said.
"Hey…I wanna get some sleep so I'll see you at the school ok?" Leah said. She really didn't want to sleep, even though she should. She only slept for about two hours that night. Blaise nodded and kissed her before leaving. Leah sat down again then lied down and stared out the window at the upside down world.
She must have fallen asleep because, by the time she heard Draco's voice and had opened her eyes, it was dark outside.
"What time is it?" Leah asked, sitting up.
"Got about an hour or two before we get to the school." Draco said. Leah just nodded and yawned. "Looks like you're tired."
"Only a bit." Leah said. She looked out the window for a while. Draco had returned to his seat and was watching Leah.
"Hey Black." Draco said. Leah looked at him. "What happened?"
"Huh?" Leah asked.
"Well…practically all last year you avoided me like the plague." Draco said. "And now…" Leah put her hand over Draco's mouth to make him stop talking. He gave her a look.
"You know…its fun to talk…but I can think of so many other things that would be even better to do." Leah said.
"Yeah…I bet you could." Draco said, taking Leah's hand off his mouth.
"Then why are we talking?" Leah asked. Draco opened his mouth to respond but never got the chance to because Leah had moved onto his lap, straddling and facing him, and had kissed him again. Draco knew he should do something to stop her. After all…she was his best friend's girlfriend…and she more then likely wasn't being herself. Too much loss in someone's life can't be good. But he couldn't help it. He had wanted her since third year and this was the last year. Leah had started kissing a trail from Draco's mouth to his neck.
"We really…shouldn't do this." Draco said.
"Hmm…why not?" Leah asked, not moving away from the job at hand.
"Because…" Draco said, trying to think. He groaned and took hold of Leah's shoulders before pushing her away so that he could look at her. Leah gave him a confused look. "Because you're my best friend's girlfriend."
"So?" Leah said. "Blaise doesn't have to know. I won't tell him."
"That's not the point." Draco said.
"Hmm…ok…I get it now." Leah said. Draco looked at her. "I try not to give in for the last three years. The second I stop caring…you don't want it."
"No! That's not it!" Draco said.
"Well then fine. I give up." Leah said. She moved back into her own seat. She didn't talk until they were about twenty five minutes from the school. "Did McGonagall say anything about us still having to wear our school robes?"
"No. So I guess we do then." Draco said. Leah nodded. Draco left the compartment while she changed then Leah stood outside while he changed. When she got back into the compartment, Leah brushed out her hair, straightened it, then pulled it into a ponytail. "You ready?"
"Yeah." Leah said, shoving some things back into her trunk then followed Draco off the train.
"They don't know yet do they?" Draco asked. Leah gave him a confused look. "Wrist."
"No!" Leah said. "And they aren't going to know. So keep your mouth shut or I'll do it for you." Draco just nodded. They found out from Hagrid that they had their own carriage to take. Leah opened the door and went in first. "Oh my god wow!" The carriage looked to be almost twice the size of the other ones and was lined with red. The seats were cushioned.
"Wow is right." Draco said, following Leah in. He was able to stand up straight in it and not have to worry about hitting his head. Leah plopped down on one of the seats and smiled.
"Hell…if this is what being a Head means…I'll come back next year just to get this carriage again." She said. Draco laughed. The carriage moved so suddenly that Draco fell over. Leah moved quickly so that he didn't fall on her and laughed so much that she fell off her seat.
"It's not funny." Draco grumbled.
"Yeah it is." Leah said, getting control of herself though. She silently laughed about it for the whole carriage trip. Draco gave up on looking pissed and just smiled slightly. When it stopped and they got out, Leah got pulled by Hermione into the school. She sat with her friends at Gryffindor table while Draco sat with his own at Slytherin. Leah was surprised to see Salenger sitting at the teachers table. She thought for sure that, somehow, she would be gone.
"Looks like the curse is gone." Harry said.
"I don't know. She really didn't show up until about halfway through the year." Leah said. "So really…she still has a few months for the curse to kick in." The others thought about it then nodded. The sorting ceremony went by with no problems. Then the meal, then Dumbledore did his regular speech. He mentioned the club being open to sixth and seventh years only again.
"And now. Our new head boy and girl." Dumbledore said. Leah glanced at Draco before the two of them stood at the same time. "Draco Malfoy of Slytherin, and Leah Black of Gryffindor." The two tables were the loudest in applause. Leah sat down as fast as possible. "Now that everything that needs to be said, has been said, I believe it's time for bed. Good night to you all."
"I guess we'll see you tomorrow." Hermione said. Leah nodded. She allowed Hermione and Ginny to hug her before they left. Leah made her way up to the head table where Draco and McGonagall were already waiting.
"Let's go." McGonagall said. She led them up a lot of staircases. Leah thought they were heading to Dumbledore's office but McGonagall turned right instead of left. Down this hall was statue with a Griffin and a Snake. "This is the entrance to your common room. I'll leave you to come up with a password. Your first patrol time in Thursday." Leah and Draco nodded. McGonagall turned and left.
"So…" Leah said, absently running her hand along the statue. "What you think?"
"I don't know." Draco said. "Nice statue though." Leah laughed. "What?"
"Nothing." Leah said. "What about…a combination?"
"Of what?" Draco asked.
"Like…" Leah said. "Gryfferin…or Slythendor." Draco shrugged. Leah rolled her eyes and sighed.
"I know." Draco said. Leah looked at him. "Sierra." The statue slid to the left. "After you."
"Whatever." Leah said, smiling slightly. She went through the hole into the common room.
Ha ha! Got a cliffhanger thing. Not sure what the décor is gonna be for the heads room yet. Any of you have any ideas for it…tell me!
