(A/N: By the way, I don't know if I mentioned this earlier or not, but just for lawsuit reasons… I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER OR ANY OF THE OTHER THINGS J.K. ROWLING HAS CREATED. I only own this plot, and Alysious. Thanks! Enjoy the chapter!)
Chapter 4Ron ran down the corrider, looking to find Harry after he had stormed out of the common room. After a few minutes, Ron rounded a corner and saw Harry enter an empty classroom. Slowing down, Ron walked up to the door, and opened it quietly.
"Harry?" Ron asked nervously. Harry spun around, looking livid at first, but calmed down after he saw it was Ron.
"I can't believe him. He thinks he can just win her over… why is she falling for his bullshit? He's a fucking prick." Harry vented. Ron walked over to him.
"Do you like her, Harry?" he asked quietly. Harry looked over at him, embarrassed.
"I don't know… I don't know what I think anymore."
"Well… it's not really fair to her that… well, you didn't want her, but you don't want anyone else to have her either." Ron said slowly.
"I know!" Harry exploded. "I fucking know this! But I can't help but feel like that right now. I can't decide what's best."
"Just… let her go for now. If she's meant to be with you, she'll be with you in the end." Ron explained, feeling very girly for having to say this to Harry
"You sound like a prat." Harry said, smirking at him.
"You're a fucking ass hole." Ron laughed.
Alysious sat alone in her dormitory room. Hermione had left to go up to her private suite, being deemed Head Girl definitely had it's priveledges. Alysious felt very confused. Should she tell Draco what Hermione had confided to her? Should she try to continue to develop a relationship with him? Alysious did not know the best answers for the questions, but decided for the time being; no and yes.
Right when she had decided to take a short nap, Alysious heard an annoying pecking noise coming from the other side of the dormitory. She looked around and saw an owl fluttering outside, a letter attacked to it's leg. Rushing over to the window, Alysious felt excited and wished the letter to be from Draco telling her Voldemort had been killed and everything was fine, they could be together and live happily ever after…
Letting the owl in, Alysious took the letter gingerly from it's leg and gave it an owl treat. Opening the letter, Alysious was excited to see that it was in fact from Draco.
Alysious,
There is something I didn't have a chance to talk to you about earlier today. I think it is really important that you know, so try and meet me at the lake tonight around midnight.
-Draco
Excited, Alysious folded the letter hastily and stuck in the back pocket of her jeans. Suddenly, she didn't feel like taking a nap anymore. She flounced downstairs into the common room, to find Harry and Ron just entering through the portrait. She faltered at the sight of Harry. He glanced up at her and smiled awkwardly. Not knowing how to respond properly, she smiled back.
"Can we talk?" Harry asked her. Ron coughed nervously and excused himself, mumbling something about finding Hermione.
"Umm… sure…." Alysious didn't really feel like talking to Harry at the moment. So many things were flying through her mind, she was afraid to get into an argument and say something she would regret. Nonetheless, she sat beside him on the couch.
"Listen, I'm really sorry about how I've been acting lately. I don't know why I have been so strange. I promise that I'm going to try and be supportive that you and Malfoy are…friendly now." Harry didn't dare look her in the eyes.
"I don't know why it has been weird for you, Harry. I'm glad you are okay with it, but I also don't want to feel like I have to get your permission to be friends with someone…" Alysious smiled gently at him. Harry looked suddenly angry.
"My permission! Who do you think I am… Malfoy?" Harry spat. Alysious stood up, offended.
"Harry you don't know who he is now! You won't even give him a chance!" Alysious cried.
"Why should I? He's had six years worth of chances to prove himself to me! No, I think you don't know who he really is Alysious! You're too caught up in trying to fall in love with someone that you don't even care who it is!" Harry immediately regretted what he said. Alysious' eyes were brimming with tears. She walked away from Harry, oblivious to the piece of paper that fell out of her back pocket, oblivious to Harry, who picked it up.
Midnight seemed to never come for Alysious. When it was finally eleven, she crept out of bed as quietly as possible. She changed from her pajamas into a white camisole and ripped denim miniskirt. She slipped into her favorite pair of flip flops and grabbed her broomstick that her parents had just gotten for her over the summer. It was the newest Firebolt out on the market, and Alysious was extremely excited to have it since her old Nimbus had lost many of the straw-like twigs in it's tail.
Once outside the castle, Alysious mounted her broomstick and flew over to the lake where Draco was already waiting for her. The summer night air was warm and fresh, giving Alysious extra confidence. She landed next to Draco who was wearing a plain fitted white t-shirt and jeans. He smiled warmly at her, and Alysious saw him gaze hungrily as she dismounted her broom, causing her skirt to rise up on her legs.
"You look…pretty damn hot…" Draco started. Alysious blushed.
"Thanks…" she mumbled, feeling very self conscious all of the sudden. "What did you want to talk to me about?" she asked him.
"Actually, I thought it would be kind of fun if we went for a little swim…" Draco smirked devilishly.
"Oh, I didn't know… I didn't bring a swimsuit with me…" Alysious faltered, suddenly catching on.
"That's okay… neither did I, " Draco walked closer to her. "But I did want to talk to you as well… I wasn't lying." He added. Draco started pulling his shirt off, and tossed it carelessly on the ground. His chest was hard, and he had three diagonal scars that looked like they came from deep talons. Alysious ran her fingers down the scars.
"What happened to you?" she asked quietly, looking up at him.
"Working with dragons is no walk in the park. Call me crazy, but they don't really like to be messed with too much…" he smiled at her and Alysious felt her heart swell. "Are you going to swim me with or am I going to have to go in all alone?" he asked her playfully.
"I'll swim with you…" Alysious started unbuttoning her skirt, "but you have to promise to save me if anything tries to get me in the water."
"They only had grindlylows put in the lake for the Triwizard Tournament." Draco assured her.
"What about the merpeople?" Alysious asked.
"They stay in the really deep water. None of them will bother us on the surface. But if they do-" Draco held up his wand, "they will suffer the wrath of a well-trained Malfoy."
Alysious shimmied the skirt down her legs, revealing her lavender bikini panties. She proceeded to take off her top, which caught against her bra, making her breasts bounce playfully as she pulled the shirt all the way off. Draco never took his eyes off her. He was very positive that she was the most gorgeous and perfect girl he had ever seen in his entire life. After Alysious was free of everything except her underwear, she watched Draco as he watched her.
"Can you take your pants off yourself or do you need assistance?" Alysious teased.
"I could do it myself… but assistance is much more preferred." Draco gave her a bright smile. Ignoring his jest, Alysious glided into the cool water, causing her nipples to harden and be noticeable through her thin bra. Draco also took notice of this and silently thanked Blaise for giving him the idea to go swimming at night.
Removing his pants, Draco splashed into the water after Alysious. His wet, black boxers stuck to him and left little to the imagination. Alysious wrapped her arms around Draco's neck and pulled herself to be face level with him. It was much easier to do this in water then on land. Without even thinking about what she was doing, Alysious leaned in to him. Draco's lips touched hers gently at first, and then the kiss deepened. Draco's tongue was begging to enter her mouth, and Alysious let him willingly. She began to feel the inside of her thighs become tingly-warm and she wanted Draco to put his hands on her.
Sensing a change in her body, Draco put his hands on the small of her back. Praying he wasn't being too invasive, he slowly moved his hand down to her firm butt. Alysious moaned quietly into his mouth. She ran her fingers through his hair and grasped onto him hoping he would never let her go. Draco moved his hands slowly to her stomach and started moving up to her breasts when Alysious pulled away.
"I-I'm-I shouldn't have…" Draco mumbled clumsily, embarrassed. Alysious smiled at him.
"Not yet… okay?" she smiled up at him, letting him know she wasn't upset. Draco nodded.
"I'm sorry… I got carried away…" he apologized. Alysious kissed him softly.
"I did too. Did you still need to tell me something?" Alysious floated in the water, watching Draco.
"Yeah…I wanted to kind of ask you… but also tell you something…" Alysious thought she saw him blush. "I… really think you're amazing. I want to get to know you better, and you make me feel like I really am a better person…"
"But…?" Alysious added nervously.
"No but's. I want to be with you. I wanted you to come here tonight because I wanted to tell you that I want us to be together and ask if you felt the same way as I do." Draco finished, running his fingers through his half-dry hair.
"I don't really know what to say Draco…" Alysious saw his crestfallen face, "except maybe… I have never felt this way about anybody. I was hoping you were going to ask me all night…" Draco tackled her in the water, laughing. He kissed her passionately.
"You make me happy," Draco whispered to her.
"You deserve happiness," Alysious kissed him warmly.
Harry Potter watched Alysious kiss Draco. He had followed her out to the lake after reading the note from her pocket. He ripped the letter in half and threw the pieces on the ground. Anger had unleashed a beast inside of Harry that wanted nothing more than to curse Malfoy until his last breath escaped his body. Harry mounted his broomstick and flew back off to the castle before he did anything stupid. He needed to talk to someone right now- anyone.
Storming back through the corridors, Harry saw Hermione walking towards the Gryffindor portrait. Hermione noticed Harry and waved warmly at him until she noticed the deadly look in his eyes.
"Harry- oh God, what's happened?" she whispered, her eyes round with fear as he got closer to her.
"There is a major problem. I need to talk to you-" Hermione followed him into the common room where they sat down to talk.
