Chapter 14: A Vixen or Two
Draco made his way out of the Transfiguration room when Blaise stopped him.
"Hey, Drake, have you seen that hot new chick in Slytherin? She's a transfer from Beauxbatons. Her name's Vixen Emeraude, and from what I hear, she is quite the little vixen," Blaise said excitedly.
"And you tell me this why?" Draco retorted.
Blaise's eyes grew wide as he said in mock shock, "Merlin, Draco, are you off your rocker? Since when do you not care about a hot chick?!"
Draco looked around and sighed.
"I'll explain in the Slytherin common room, but not here, people may be listening," Draco whispered.
Blaise nodded, seeming confused, and the two walked in silence to dungeons.
Once they reached the privacy of the Slytherin common room, Draco plopped down on a familiar green couch. His old common room made him feel at home.
"So, Drake, what's up?" Blaise said, sitting opposite of Draco.
Draco sighed.
"I dunno, man, it's complicated. That Granger chick…" Draco paused.
Blaise smirked devilishly, "You fucker, you've got a thing for her, don't you!"
Draco felt ready to dive under an Invisibility Cloak. Was everyone around him suddenly becoming smarter?
Realizing the expression on Draco's face, Blaise just grinned wider.
"No wonder you've been all happy and shit lately! I was starting to think you were gay or something!"
Draco rolled his eyes at his friend.
"Oh, of course mate, I've gone gay. So, what about this Vixen chick?"
Blaise's eyes lit up.
"Since you're obviously busy with this Granger girl, I'd thought I'd…ask her out," he drawled.
Draco had to chuckle. Anyone with an ounce of brains knew that "asking out" meant "having a good shag" in Blaise's vocabulary.
"Right, Zambini, ask her out. Oh and, I'm not with Herm—Granger, I just…we're civil. You can't tell anyone, either, " Draco articulated.
It was Blaise's turn to roll his eyes.
"Oh, Merlin, Malfoy, you know you want to shag that virgin…"
Draco picked up a pillow and flung it at him.
"Shut the hell up," Draco muttered. "So, tell me about this Vixen girl anyway," he said quickly, changing the subject.
Blaise leaned back in his seat. "She's a hot one, and that's putting it lightly. A hot French one. She doesn't have a French accent, though…bummer…French accents are hot…" Blaise trailed on mumbling to himself.
Just then, the Slytherin portrait creaked open and in stepped none other than Vixen Emeraude.
Her cascading, silvery blonde hair fell to her waist, tipped a sapphire color at the end. Her piercing blue eyes fell on Draco as she made her way over to him. He noticed her long shapely legs and nicely filled in body. For a moment, Draco was back with her beauty. But he soon decided she was nothing too special.
Draco knew someone more beautiful.
"Hello, Draco," she said in a silky tone, gliding over next to him.
She slid onto the couch gracefully, moving a bit close to Draco. Draco seemed not to notice, as he appeared deep in thought.
"Draco?" she said again, batting her long eyelashes at him.
Blaise rolled his eyes, seeming quite annoyed, his arms crossed over his chest.
"Lay off, Vixen, Draco's got a thing for the Granger girl," Blaise muttered through clenched teeth.
Both Draco and Vixen stared at Blaise wide-eyed.
"Shut up," Draco hissed at Blaise.
"Y-you're with that mudblood?!" Vixen stuttered in shock.
"For Merlin's sake, woman, no! He just…I dunno, likes her. Now, be a darling and don't tell anyone," Blaise said in an annoyed tone, adding sarcasm to the last words.
Vixen blinked a few times, seeming confused. Her mind soon registered the fact that Draco wasn't for the taking, and she sighed.
"Don't worry, your secret's safe with me," she said to Draco in a somewhat sullen tone.
Blaise grinned. Now was his chance.
"See, Drake? This beautiful girl won't tell a soul," he assured his blond friend.
Vixen obviously blushed.
"Aw, Blaise! I don't deserve your compliments," she said, turning even deeper shades of crimson.
"Of course, a lovely lady like you deserves much more than a compliment," Blaise added, sending a discreet wink her way.
With that, he stood up to stretch. As a result, his shirt lifted up a bit, exposing his toned abs.
Draco could tell Vixen was practically drooling. He bit his tongue to keep from laughing at the scene in front of him. By the way this was going, he could tell that two certain people would be busy tonight.
"I'm heading to my room. See you later, Drake, and hopefully, Vixen," he said before turning, to leave. He flashed another wink and a grin her way.
Vixen shifted in her seat, and then grinned maliciously.
"Uh, see you later, Draco," she said absent-mindedly, getting up to follow Blaise.
As soon as Vixen was out of sight, Draco burst out laughing. Blaise really did have a way with women.
'Not better than I do, though,' Draco added in his mind.

"Hermione, this room is beautiful!" Ginny gasped, plopping down on Hermione's large four-poster.
"Isn't it?" Hermione said wearily, sitting down at her desk. She put her head into her arms and sighed.
"Aw, 'Mione, what's the matter? You had said you would tell me something later," Ginny said soothingly.
Hermione sighed again.
"It's Seamus. I think I'm finally going to end it with him. I mean, come on, it's basically already over."
"I dunno, 'Mione. Seamus has been weird lately. He's always angry for some reason," Ginny said.
"I know he'll be mad, Gin, but I've got to officially end whatever 'we' are," Hermione replied.
"Alright, 'Mione, whatever you feel is best," Ginny shrugged, glancing at her watch. "Oh, crap, I've got to go, it's already past curfew! See ya!"
Hermione waved as her red head friend dashed out the door. Strangely, Hermione didn't feel tired enough to go to sleep. She sat at her desk and took out a roll of parchment and a quill to do some homework. However, she could not seem to concentrate.
Hermione glanced out the window, only to be caught soon gazing. The moon was full ('Poor Lupin,' she thought), and the sky was clear with millions of twinkling stars scattered across it.
Little did she know, that as she admired the night sky, a certain blond nearby was entranced by the evening, as well.

Draco's head rested against his hand, his elbow perched on his desk.
'Just civil. Just civil,' he repeated in his mind.
Heck, here he was, with almost every girl in the school practically throwing themselves at him. Sure, they were beautiful (or so they made themselves anyway), but he knew of a more beautiful beauty.
Yet he turned them all down. Lately he had, anyway.
In his train of thoughts, he found an image of a laughing, beautiful girl, her chocolate curls bouncing as her large brown eyes twinkled.
Now that, to him, was beautiful.
He left his thoughts as the full, bright moon caught his eye. Gazing out into the night sky, he quickly took out a bit of parchment and scribbled something on it.
