A/N: Thanks to all of my reviewers as always. I hope this chapter is as good as any others before it. Tell me what you think:D

Chapter Twenty-Two A Rickety Old Tower

Jesamya watched as they approached a rickety looking tower. It was pointed and it looked like it was swaying slightly in the breeze. When Draco reached the very top she saw that the point of the roof was actually flat and wide. He landed right above it and stepped off of his broom.

"Here we are," he said. "I discovered this spot in my second year when my practice snitch flew up here."

"Wow," Jesamya said admiring the view that stretched for miles and miles, never ending. Her hair whipped around her shoulders making her look like some sort of dark angel as she spun in a small circle to see what else there was to see. "This is wonderful."

"Yeah," Draco said. "I come up here to escape," he replied. "Sometimes I just want to get away from everything and everyone. It's also great when you're trying to hide from a professor or something. I really don't think anyone else knows about this tower."

"Except for me," Jesamya said sitting down on the roof, placing her elbows on her knees.

"Right, and if you tell anyone I shall have to kill you," Draco replied calmly. Jesamya scowled at him as he sat down next to her. He smiled toothily at her and elbowed her lightly in the ribs.

"Lighten up toots," he said. "I was only joking."

"Yeah sure you were," Jesamya snapped, even though she was smiling at him. It was quiet for a moment as the two of them merely marveled at the sight that lay before them. "The world is our playground," Jesamya whispered.

Draco looked over at her in interest. "What do you mean?" he asked.

"This," she said motioning out towards the black oblivion. "Is all ours. We belong everywhere. The life of a vampire has no boundaries. We live where we want to, eat where we want to, and rest where we want to."

"You make it sound so easy," Draco muttered.

"It'll get easier with age Draco," Jesamya said smiling. "It just seems hard right now…"

He sighed and leaned back on his elbows.

"So why was it that you called me here?" Jesamya said after a moment. "Why didn't you wake Pansy or Hermione?"

Draco snickered at that comment and shook his head.

"Truthfully?" he asked. She was staring expectantly at him. "I didn't feel like listening to Pansy talk about herself. And I really didn't want to hear any of Granger's brainy theories about how the world works and how things should be. I wanted to talk to you."

Jesamya stared at him slightly puzzled. Her eyes caught the light just right and seemed to be glowing. He sought her out simply for her company?

"There's just something about you," Draco said looking at her thoughtfully. "You're so calm and sometimes that's exactly what I need to wind down."

She felt herself blush.

"Glad I could help," she replied, leaning back so that she was eye level with him. "So, are you and Pansy a couple?"

Draco's eyes widened a bit and he laughed.

"No!" he said. "What made you think that?"

"Oh I don't know… The small fact that she's always slobbering all over you, or hanging off one of your arms," Jesamya said.

"Yes well the girl adores me but I tire of her easily, just as I assume she tires of me," Draco said. Jesamya nodded.

"So what about you? Do you have a significant other?" Draco asked. Jesamya shook her head.

"Never really had the time for one," she said. "We used to do a lot of traveling around with the coven, my brother and I. And those men are my family. I don't think any of them saw me like that. I know I certainly didn't see any of them in any other way."

"I don't know why they wouldn't," Draco said, taking in her slim figure that was fit with smooth curves. And her face… it was flawless. In his opinion there was really nothing to dislike when it came to her appearance. And she was smart too. Not Granger smart…but the real kind of smart that didn't come from books.

She flushed even more and looked away from him with a shy smile. "Thanks," she said. She didn't know why she was all of a sudden so hot. She thought she was probably just nervous or something. When all of this thought was going on in her head, she felt cool lips press against hers. Her eyes widened slightly in surprise and she leaned back, looking at him questioningly.

"What was that for?" she asked bashfully, her usually pale cheeks still rosy from the flattery.

"Don't ask questions," Draco said. He then leaned forward and kissed her again. He didn't know why, but ever since he'd met her in the Black Widow, he'd been attracted to her. He didn't usually like girls with dark hair, but she was different. She was quite sexy and she didn't have to try.

He broke away from her, to find her lips slightly parted.

"Wow," she said with a content smile.

"Yeah," Draco said cockily. "I get that a lot."

She slapped his shoulder and sat up. "You have to be one of the most conceited immortal beings that I've ever met," she muttered, dusting off her T-shirt.

"You know it," he replied.

Pansy sat in her dormitory, her arms crossed. She was extremely angry. What was he doing with her? That girl that hadn't even been in his life that long. She wore a locket that grew hot every time Draco was near to her, and it had woken her up instantly. But when she looked out her window, she saw him hovering a little ways away, waiting for Jesamya.

She hadn't really liked the new girl from the beginning but hadn't said anything because she didn't feel that she was a really big threat. Not until she started coming around more and more. Just like the night Pansy had gone out to feed for the first time. She was hoping it would just be her and Draco, but nooooooo. He'd invited Jesamya along. He said she'd be good to give Pansy tips on the art of feeding. When Pansy had looked over, she'd seen Jesamya kiss Draco on the lips. But she'd disregarded it because it wasn't necessarily a passionate kiss but it was something.

And he'd picked her over Pansy. What could that mean?

She scowled in the dark.

"Ron?" came a feminine voice from outside of his curtains. Ron woke with a start and rolled onto his side.

"Hermione?" he asked. He slid the curtains open to find her staring down at him in the dark. She sat down on his bed and smiled. She seemed to be tired but she also looked bothered about something.

"I was wondering if you were all right," she whispered. "You were so angry at the Three Broomsticks and you yelled and I was just coming to see if you were feeling any better."

He had remembered the hurt look on her face when he hadn't let her touch him.

"Yeah," he said. "I got a lot of frustration out on that bastard."

"I can't believe Ginny," Hermione said scowling. "Malfoy isn't even as bad as Zabini! I've heard some disgusting things about him."

"Me too, Hermione. Me too," Ron said patting her arm. "I just hope Ginny isn't still seeing him. I think he gave her something though. She was visiting Madam Pomfrey for two months straight. When I asked she said that she was getting rashes all over her arse," Ron mused. "I thought maybe she'd sat in something that wasn't quite meant to have contact with human skin."

Hermione laughed softly. "I remember that!" she exclaimed quietly. "She couldn't sit down the whole time!"

They laughed in the dark and Hermione felt better knowing Ron wasn't angry any more.

"Do you think this is all it's cut out to be?" Hermione asked after awhile. Ron paused staring at her.

"Being a vampire?" he asked. She nodded, resting her head on his hard stomach.

"I hope so," Ron replied, suddenly serious. "Or else we're all in for a rough ride. And if that's the case, Malfoy will pay."

A/N: Yeah so sorry it's taken me sooooo long to write this chapter. As it is summer and I've been hanging out and I've been busy. I will always find time to write though. I hope you all liked it. And if my sister is reading this story she should leave me a review. That would be nice. And she also owes me a cookie. Anyways, love to all as I have said many times before. Review and tell me what you think. I hope certain things don't seem too rushed. :D
