Cold weather made itself welcome on Hogwarts Grounds at the beginning of November. The whole school was starting to fall into the weathers clutches. All the students were hating the cold weather and couldn't wait until it was gone. The students were growing restless and didn't know how to use there extra energy they had.
Draco and Cherry spent most of there extra time out doors unlike the rest the school; unlike the rest the cold weather didn't bother them. Everyone was telling them they were crazy to be going outside when it was that cold out. They didn't care what people thought, they had nothing better to do.
On the other hand Mya and Ron were wasting their time in the library, and in the common room. Everyone was burning off energy in the common room now by dueling , or playing various games. Not Mya and Ron though, they sat with Harry and Hermione talking.
Mya couldn't take the noise anymore, the fighting between Ron and Hermione was annoying. She sat back and put a hand on her head, as she listened to Ron and Hermione go at it again. Arguing was all they had seem to be doing since the cold weather set in.
"How do you know she was lying, you weren't there you didn't see the look in her eyes." Ron said standing up to challenge her.
"I didn't have to be, all I need to know is that I don't trust her," Hermione said standing up as well.
"How can you say that, you don't even know her," Mya said getting up and walking out of the common room.
"You know she's right, you don't know here at all," Harry said.
"Shut up Harry!" Ron and Hermione said together.
Ron got up and walked out the door the same way Mya had done before hand. He could only take so much more of this weather, and they way it made everyone act. He walked around the school hoping he wouldn't run into Flinch as it got later, and he still didn't know where Mya was. He took a quick right around the corner and headed down to the library.
He walked through the rows of books and then he saw her. She was sitting there, draped under her cloak reading something. The old book was propped up and tilted to what must have been the right angle. Yet it was still to dark in the library to tell anything apart, he could barley make out Mya.
Ron sat done across from her and waited for her to finish reading. Mya sat the book down and looked back up and Ron smiling. She pushed the book aside and watched him look over at it.
"Dark arts and how to repeal them? What are you doing with that book?" Ron asked seeing the title.
"Don't worry about it I was looking something for a friend of mine." She said.
"Something just hasn't been right with her lately." Ron nodded as she got up with the book.
"So did you find what you were looking for?" he asked as the light went out.
"No I didn't, that's why I'm taking it with us." Mya told him as they walked back to a book shelve.
"Okay so what are you looking for now?" Ron asked as she held her wand up to the books looking at the titles.
"Ahh…here it is, Dark Magic and its counter curses, for the advanced." She said putting the books on the corner of the table.
"So I know you obviously like me right?" Mya asked smiling.
"Yeah, why what are you thinking?" Ron asked as she walked around a smaller book case.
"Well then why don't you show me how much you like me." She said stepping back.
I don't know about that, I mean do you really think this is a very appropriate place." He said smirking.
She leaned back a little putting her hands around Ron's neck, and he leaned into her. Ron took a step in getting closer to Mya and kissed her. Under the pressure Mya stepped back running into the book shelve hard enough to make it fall over.
There was enough strength to knock the book shelve down, causing the rest of them to fall down like dominos. The silence was broken and the books clothes and dust were all over the place.
Ron quickly grabbed Mya's hand and she grabbed her books as they ran out the door. Turning the corner after going up the stairs they saw about three professors running down the corridor. Mya turned around just as bad five professors including Dumbledore coming up the stairs.
"Problem, where not going that way either," Mya said.
"Come on in here, if were lucky none of the professors saw us yet." He said pulling her through a door.
The two stood in the shadows of the room listening to the professors talk out side the room. Mya tried to slow don't her breathing as she leaned against one of the walls, Ron took her hand and kissed it lightly.
"What was that Albus?" McGonagall asked.
"Well Minerva it was the library, all the book cases have fallen down leaving the library in shambles." Dumbledore told them all.
"Whose responsible for this unreasonable happening?" Madam Pomfrey.
"There's probably no way to begin to tell." Snape said walking up.
"Let us all head down to the library then to see what we can do about this," Albus said starting down.
"Think we'll get in trouble?" Mya asked Ron quietly.
"Hopefully not if were sneaky about it," he told her taking her hand and kissing it.
Mya's heart pounded against her cheast, she wasn't quiet sure what would happen if they did get caught…but she never got caught. Ron stood there listening, not hearing anything he fell to the floor, to look under the door. Nothing was in sight as far as he could tell so he stood back up quietly. He grabbed Mya's hand gave it a reassuring squeeze and opened the door slowly.
He must of looked funny as he stuck his head out the door looking both ways, then pulled Mya out behind him. Together they ran up the rest of the stairs, until they got to the portrait of the Fat Lady. They managed to make it all the way to the common room taking deep breaths, everything was alright now.
"Mr. Weasley…Miss. Evans! Where have been?" they turned around seeing professor McGonagall.
"Do you realize your about six hours after curfew, not to mention the huge mess you made and just left in the library." She said holding up one of Ron's book.
"Oh man I knew I forgot something," he said shaking his head.
"Ron…how could you forget your stupid book?" Mya asked stomping her foot.
"I'm sorry, honestly its not like I planed to purposely forget it." Ron said looking at her.
"Okay stay calm…so would you mind telling us about our punishments, what are they going to be ma'am?" she asked looking up at McGonagall.
"Oh yes…you'll both be serving detention for the following three weeks, also you'll be cleaning up the mess you two made in the library in the morning. No go to bed!" she said walking off madly.
The two walked up the stairs slowly looking at there feet. Ron put his arm around Mya's waist as they continued up the stairs. Mya stopped at the door and looked up at Ron smiling.
"That was great! Imagine the trouble we would have been in if we messed up half the staffs offices, instead of the library." Mya said laughing.
"Yeah your right, that was bloody awesome…but it would have been so much fun to tear apart the professors offices," he said as she hugged him still laughing.
"I don't think we're going to have to many of our detentions together…we'd make things worse than we would apart. Anyways I'll see you in the morning good night." Mya said and kissed him.
"Good night, get some sleep we're going to be working all day tomorrow," he said and kissed her again.
Mya walked into the girls room pulling off her cloak as she did. Lavender turned over on her bed and watched her. Hastily Mya pulled on one of her night shirts, and looked up at Lavender and Parvati.
"What's up?" asked Mya looking around the room.
"Where have you been all night?" asked Parvati sitting up.
"Well…me and Ron were in the library and some how we managed to knock everything down, so we get to clean it all up in the morning, plus we both have three weeks of detention starting ASAP." She told them falling on her bed.
"Serves you right, you shouldn't of been sneaking around, especially after hours and Ron of all people knows this for god sake he's a prefect." Said Hermione staring her down.
"Have it your way than…if that's so?" Mya said smiling as she laid back.
"SO that's it…your not going to do anything, no smart comments about what I've said?" asked Hermione very confused.
"Nope, not a thing because I don't care what you think about me anymore, theres no point in it." Mya said with a straight face.
"SO your really not going to do or say anything at all?" Lavender asked leaning across Mya's bed.
"Well…that's what she thinks…right?" Mya said grinning evilly.
Mya laid with her head at the end of her bed watching Hermione silently. Lavender couldn't sleep now that she knew something was being planned, and even better it was against Hermione. A few minutes later she got up and sat of the corner of Lavenders bed.
"So you must know…how much does it take to wake her up?" Mya asked nodding over at her.
"She sleeps hard not much will wake her up, not usually…why what are you planning?" she asked sitting up.
"You'll see," she said standing up.
Mya spent the next hour and a half booby-trapping Hermione's bed for when she'd wake up. Half the spells she was using were ones her and her friends had come up with years before. It took her for ever to put her three spells on Hermione's bed, but it was going to be well worth it.
"So What's going to happen to her…what spells did you set on her bed area?" Lavender asked head on her hand.
"You'll see when she gets up…its gonna be unforgettable…this is gonna be the best prank you guys will see for awhile coming." Mya said smiling as she laid back down.
Mya stood at the foot of her bed the next morning looking for her pants from a few nights before. Parvati got up and handed them to her form under her bed; then she smiled as she fell on top of Lavender.
"Hey get off…Parvati…get off," Lavender said pushing her off the bed.
"Shh…look act like nothings going on…act natural," Mya said pulling on her pants.
Hermione sat up slowly stretching and all of a sudden there was a loud pop. All the girls looked over at Hermione as she was covered with syrup and feathers magically. Mya smiled throwing a bag over her shoulder and walked out the door after the other girls laughing.
"Mya!" Hermione screamed pushing her hair back.
"Oh Hermione, by the way I wouldn't move if I was you." Mya said sticking her head in the door.
Hermione turned her head looking at the door where Mya had just been seconds before. Slowly she started to get up from her bed to head towards the showers, to try and get all the feathers off. As soon as she had stood up everyone in the common room could hear her screams.
Hermione now had been covered with syrup and feathers, and had at least five gallons of butterbeer dumped on her to make it even better she was glued to the floor. Mya ran back up the stairs and walked into the room arms crossed smiling widely.
"I told you not to move didn't I…anyways serves you right I warned you not to screw around with me before." Mya said walking back out of the room.
Mya walked back down the stairs looking extremely happy with herself she ran into Adam.
"What'd you do Mya?" he asked hands on her shoulders.
"Revenge is so sweet, especially since its on Hermione." Mya said walking past him smiling.
"Mya…please tell me you didn't," said Adam turning around.
"I could but then I'd be lying about it," she said leaving the Gryffindor tower.
That morning Cherry sat at the Slytherin table in the Great Hall beside Draco listening to him talk. Cherry looked over at Jason smiling with a twinkle in her eyes, he shook his head disapprovingly and turned to talk to a seventh year boy. Cherry lost her smile and put her eyes to the ground, how could he still be so upset with her.
She watched as others slowly filed into the Great Hall for there Friday breakfast. Cherry watched as Mya walked in by herself smiling biting on her bottom lip.

She watched as others slowly filed into the Great Hall for there Friday breakfast. Cherry watched as Mya walked in by herself smiling biting on her bottom lip.
Cherry got up and met Mya half way down the pathway to her house's table. Mya looked up at her and smiled it was great being friends with Cherry, her friends were the greatest.
"Why are you so happy? What did you do Mya?" Cherry asked eyeing her.
"Well last night me and Ron knocked over everything in the library, got three weeks of detention. Oh then I got Hermione back again." She said smiling brightly.
"Three weeks, that's pretty steep don't you think…wait what did you do to her?" Cherry asked looking at her.
"Well you remember all those charms and pranks we came up with?" asked Mya sitting down.
"Yeah…did you use them on her?" she asked.
"Maybe a few of them…but you should have seen it, it was so funny!" Mya said picking up a muffin.
"That's so great you cant tell me she didn't have it coming…but anyways hey I'll meet up with you later." Cherry said getting up.
"Alright, just stop by the library I'll be there all day," Mya said laughing a little.
Cherry walked back over to the Slytherin table and smiled to herself at least their spells were still being put to use.
Breakfast started as the last of the students walked in running way late that morning. The hall buzzed with noise as thousands of different owls flew into the Great hall with different odds and ends.
Cherry looked up as Kestrel dropped her regular paper, followed by an old friends owl. She smiled looking down at Leriane's familiar hand writing. Slowly she started to pull the letter out of the envelope, did she really want to know.
Hey Cherry
SO hey guess what? Me and Trinny and a few of the guys are coming over next weekend. We heard you were going to be in Hogsmede with the school. So we decided we'd come over and meet somewhere in Hogsmede. Maybe if there's an Ice cream parlor or something like that send Kestrel back with a replay soon, and let Mya know we're coming. Oh and real fast good luck with Malfoy…word travels quick ya know. Love ya
Leriane
Cherry folded up the note and slipped it into one of her pockets, she had completely forgotten the food that was still in front of her. Draco turned back to her nudging her lightly on the arm as she took hold of his hand.
"Whose it from? …One of your friends?" he asked looking at her.
"Leriane she wants to meet at the Ice cream parlor down in Hogsmede next weekend when we go." Cherry told him getting up.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"The owlery, I have to write her back," Cherry said leaving.
Cherry found her way up to the Owlery and walked through the sections of different owls looking for hers. There were hundreds of them, most of them sleeping, so it made that much harder.
"Kestrel…Kestrel girl where are you…hey girl I need you take this back to Leriane." She hooted happily at Cherry.
"Hold on I gotta write the note still," she said pulling a feather and ink out of her pocket.
Leriane,
Hey girl yeah there's an ice cream parlor in Hogsmede me and Mya will meet you there…but were going to bring our boyfriends(yes Malfoy…who told you?) Anyways I gotta go get my books. Later,
Cherry
Cherry tied the note up and to Kestrel's leg with a black ribbon and watched as her owl flew out the window. So she headed back down to the Great Hall, thinking about how much she was missing her friends. As she got to the third floor the Ravenclaws and some of the Gryffindors were heading back to there common rooms.
Cherry stopped in front of the library looking through the opened doors. She could only see a little bit but it looked terrible to have to clean that up.
She ran back down the stairs to the Great Hall, she hit the step second to the bottom and tripped. As she fell she fell into someone who, who caught her thankfully.
"Sorry, but thanks for catching me," Cherry said looking at Harry.
"Its alright, its not like I wouldn't of caught you, its Cherry right?" he asked smiling.
"Yeah…and your Harry how could anyone forget who you are?" she said smiling.
"Right sometimes I wish every one would just forget who I was. You know being The Famous Harry Potter isn't all it's cracked up to be." Harry said shrugging.
"Yes, tell us it must be horrible to get all the attention you do Potter!" Draco said walking up.
"Not all attentions good Malfoy. All the attention I get isn't wanted…I'm not like you, I'm not starved for attention." Harry said shaking his hair back.
"Starved for attention am I? At least I have more than you ever will, since you know who will eventually kill you once and for all, then it will be over with and no one will have to deal with you any more." Draco said smirking.
"You realize if that happens the whole wizarding world will plummet into darkness." Hermione said.
"Honestly Malfoy, Voldemort's tried six times to kill me, I don't think she's going excel anytime soon." Even Cherry flinched when Harry said that name.
"You should bite your tongue Potter…before something happens and you end up like your parents!" Draco said walking away.
Hermione held onto Harry's arm, he couldn't afford to get in trouble now. Cherry looked back at Harry and raised an eyebrow smiling, then followed after Draco. When would either of the two boys learn? Probably never, Cherry didn't mind she had people she couldn't stand either. Cherry shook it out of her head and caught up to Draco taking his hand.
That night after dinner Cherry watched Jason sitting in the corner smiling at Pansy. Cherry got up slowly, she liked Draco a lot more than she had liked any other guys. But Cherry just was plain out tired of listening to Jason complain about Draco all the time.
Cherry laid a hand down on the table across from Pansy and Jason, looking at them. Jason saw her standing there and looked back to Pansy with out a second glance. Cherry didn't take being ignored very well so she said something to them.
"Pansy, do you mind…just for a few minutes?" Cherry asked looking over to her.
"Not at all, you know that girl," she said getting up.
"Yo Jason you wanna talk with me for a minute?" she asked staring at him.
"No not really…talk to Draco after all he is your perfect boyfriend now isn't he?" said Jason staring back at her.
"God why are you doing this, your gonna talk to me and your gonna do it now!" she said pulling him out the common room door.
"What do you want from me Cherry? You know what I have to say already, so why do you keep coming back for more?" he asked leaning against the wall.
"This time your going to listen to me…Jason please your one of my best friends, I can't stand the thoughts of you being mad at me…all I'm asking for is a few minutes of your precious time…" she said then started to walk off.
"…Cherry stop you know you've got my attention if you need it…other wise you'd do something crazy and it would be my fault…so what do you need to say?" asked Jason still a little ticked with her.
"So what's on your mind Cherry?" he asked.
"Why do you act the why you do when I'm with Draco, I know you don't want to see me hurt but you don't have to worry about it. Look Jas all I'm asking is for you to at least try to get along with him if only when I'm with him." Cherry said looking at him.
"I don't know Cherry…Fine I'll try only because it's for you though, oh and by the way if he hurts you…I'll but a bullet through his brain and that's something you cant fix. No who was the letter from?" Jason asked.
"Oh get this the guys are coming up this weekend were going to meet them at the Ice Cream Parlor in Hogsmede when we go!" Cherry told him smiling.
"The guys huh…bet they say the same thing about Draco that I did." He said smiling at the thought.
"Shut up Jason!" she said smiling back.
"I'm just giving you hell, but you know I'm right, I love you and I think I've bothered you enough for at least a week, so I'm going to stop for a while." He said hugging her.
"You've tormented me enough for a whole month!" Cherry cried.
"Well how about I torment you until we get out for Christmas except for the rest of the week." Cherry gave a weak half smile and walked away.
"Wait you didn't give me a reply for my suggestion…" Jason said following her back in the common room.
"So then it's a no?" he asked.
"No." she said.
"Then it's a yes?" he said following her to the girls room.
"No." she said again.
"Than what is it?" Jason asked.
"It's a I love you Jason you're my best friend but leave it alone because I don't want to talk to you anymore about it." She said and walked into the room.
Mya and Ron headed towards the library after finishing up breakfast that morning. Mya took his hand and pulled him up the stairs faster than what he was going before. Ron shook his head it would take for ever to clean the mess they had made in the library the night before.
"Do we really have to go this fast…I mean I'm in no hurry to clean up the library when they could magically do it there self's in five minutes or less." Ron said pulling her to a stop.
"Ron, stop complaining, it wont be that bad it will be good for us…at least where together doing it." Mya said.
"Yes but we could be together not cleaning the library, if we just turn around and go back down the stairs," he said smiling.
"No, we cant afford to get in anymore trouble then we already are in so far," said Mya kissing him.
"Your right, especially since Hogsmede weekend is so close," he said following her in the door.
"Good god this is going to take for ever to clean, where to start?" Mya said to herself.
"Might as well start at the doors and work our way in," Ron said shaking his head.
"How long do you think this going to take us to clean up?" she asked.
"Way to long that's all I know," Ron said.
"Better get started then, come on Ron," she said picking up a book.
By the time lunch rolled around they were still only picking up the books off the first shelve. Mya throw her cloak in a corner and walked over to Ron wiping sweat from her head, with the back of her hand. Mya walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around his stomach giggling, she was done cleaning for now.
"Hey hun well let me tell you we've gotten pretty far." He said sarcastically.
"I know this isn't as easy as I thought it would be, but hey it's a good work out." Said Mya kissing him on the cheek.
"Yes a good work out, we'll be working on this library for the next three months to clean it all up." He said shaking his head.
"Don't worry we will have it done before the weekends over…I hope." Mya said Pulling him out the doors.
"Yes lets not worry just like we didn't need to worry last night?" he said stopping.
"Yes just like that, except a lot better off because I'm special and can make that promise." She said kissing his forehead and pulling him down the stairs.
"Right then," Ron replied smiling.
Ron sat at the Gryffindor table almost falling asleep while everyone else around him ate. Mya pulled her hair back pushing her slanted bangs behind her one of her ears. Harry laughed smiling; Mya didn't want to know what was going on in his mind right now.
"Isn't that right Ron…Ron!" Harry yelled hitting him.
"What…umm…yeah sure pal." Everyone started laughing except for Hermione who stuck her nose up.
"Oh Hermione don't be so tense all the time. I know you don't like that Ron and Mya are going out but honestly you don't need him your better off alone or with out him." Adam said throwing an arm over her shoulder.
"Are you presuming that I just get over Rona and Mya…Hell I just cant do that, its not that easy." She said turning her nose up.
"Hermione you need to find a guy or get over yourself one of the two or both perhaps." He said shaking his head.
"Your right, maybe I shouldn't worry about it, and maybe I shouldn't worry about school work either!" she said getting up with a huff.
"Wait, Hermione…what did I say?" he asked following her.
"Will you just kindly leave me alone Adam!" Hermione said turning around.
"Come on I didn't mean anything by it all that you should just set your sights of something else like getting a boyfriend." Adam said taking hold of her arm.
"Adam you don't…your really smart and maybe your right." Hermione said stopping in front of the Fat Lady to look at him.
"So is that a yer then?" he asked.
"Yes to what?" she asked as he kissed her.
"I'm still confused yes to what?" Hermione asked shocked.
"Honey I think he's trying to ask you out." The Fat Lady said.
Hermione turned back to Adam a little surprised but smiled surprisingly. She had to she liked him; she had since he first came to the school two months ago, he was always cute. At first he wasn't sure what she was going to say but after that hidden smile, it told him more. Hermione stood up taller and pushed her hair behind her ear smiled and kissed him.
"So is that's a yes then I'm guessing?" he said standing there.
"So then it's a yes your right," "Adam said again smiling.
"It's a yes Adam," Hermione said disappearing into the darkness of the Gryffindor tower.
Sunday afternoon Mya fell onto a tabletop lying down watching the high ceiling of the library. Ron was crashed against a shelve tired and dirty from cleaning the rest of the library that morning. He looked up at Mya smiling as much he could being as tired as he still was. She couldn't see him she was concentrating on her breathing and taking in the thought that she had just finished cleaning the whole library.
"Finally its done," Ron said walking over to Mya.
"Yes and only a week until you get to met some more of my friends." She said sitting up.
"I know meeting at the Ice cream Parlor, you'd never let me forget it there names are Leriane and Trinny and some of the guys now can we please go back to the tower now?" he asked with a puppy dog face.
"How can I say no to that face, of coarse we can go back now," Mya said smiling.
"Well…oh my goodness this looks better than it has in years," the librarian said walking in.
"Thanks now if you don't mind we're going to go back upstairs now." Ron said arm around Mya's waist.
Mya smiled as the librarian study them as they headed out the door. Mya laid her head on Ron's shoulder and kissed the side of his neck before jumping ahead of him a few stairs. Ron looked up at her and gave a tired grin.
"Mya I'm to tired to play this game today," he said.
"Am I not worth it?" she asked with a sad face.
Ron turned his head and grinned as he chased her up another two sets of stairs. He finally caught up with her and pulled her to a stop kissing her. He placed a hand on her neck, and Mya slowly leaned into him and pushed him away playfully.
Mya grabbed Ron's hand as they headed back to the common room again. As they walked in the common room Adam ran out and jumped on top of Mya. Mya fell back hitting the floor and pushed him off herself.
"What's up Adam? Get off me," Mya said smiling.
"Are you proud of me, only three months here and now I've got a girlfriend…almost as fast as you and Cherry." Said Adam getting up.
"Well, that's great Adam, who is it?" she asked as Ron picked her up.
"Hermione…well what do you think?" he asked.
"You really want to know what I think Adam?" she asked looking at him.
"Yeah, I want the truth from you, I just asked for it didn't I?" he said seriously.
"You're a fucking idiot, I cant believe it your so stupid!" Mya said and Ron's jaw dropped.
Adam gave her an almost shocked look and pulled her over to the side of the room. Did she not understand that just like her he wanted some one to be with as well.
"I thought you'd be happy for me but I guess not…look at it this way at least you don't have to worry about Hermione getting all up in your and Ron's business." He said raising an eyebrow.
"You know your right, but if she changes you I'll have to kill her." Mya said hugging him.
"I think we've lost your boyfriend." Said Adam.
"I'm not worried about it, he's probably taking a shower or resting." She said falling in a chair.
"Well Mya I think I'm going to go write Graham, I'll be back in a few minutes." With that Adam disappeared up the stairs.
"Yo Harry are you alright?" Adam asked.
"Umm…yeah why?" he asked.
"Because you've been staring in the mirror for the last five to ten minutes. What's up?" he asked sitting up.
"Yeah…I know, I'm just thinking about a few things," he said sitting down.
"I heard about you and Hermione, congratulations I wish the girl I liked realized it…but she's just to dark." He said looking over.
"Thanks…why who is it that you like Harry?" Adam asked looking over.
"You know her she came over with you," he said.
Adam looked up at him again wondering who Harry was talking about. Adam thought about it and then it hit him and he knew who Harry was talking about how could he not.
"Oh god Harry do you like Cherry?" Adam said looking up.
"Yeah, that's right, I do like Cherry…but she's dating Malfoy and would never consider me because she's a dark wizard and I'm not." Harry said laying down.
"Well your right about two things she is dating Draco and she is very dark indeed, but where your wrong is that she would consider you." Adam said.
"Even if she would I wouldn't want her to, because as long as she's happy with Malfoy as much as I hate to say it, she's happy and that's what I want for her." Harry said shrugging his shoulders.
"She loves Draco because his name and looks, not his personality." He told Harry.
"I don't know, but I do know she's happy with him," Harry told Adam.
"Yes, of coarse she is," Adam said letting it go.
By the time Friday had rolled around both Mya and Cherry were ready to say the hell with classes; they were one hundred percent ready to see there friends. Only one day and they would get to see there friends they hadn't seen in forever.
Draco sat in a library Chair half asleep as Cherry looked for more information on there project due on Monday. Cherry sighed and closed another book heavily, as Draco looked over at her with one eye opened and started talking.
"Give it a break Cherry you've looked through a hundred books by now." Draco said tiredly.
"I cant unless you really want a failing grade and for top of the class, so," she said picking up another book.
"Cherry…come on take your books and lets go alright." He said getting up.
"Alright, come on Draco," she said getting up.
"Thank you…are you alright you look like your getting sick are you?" Draco asked.
"I don't know I think I'm okay but I'm not sure its kind of hard to tell most of the time with me." She said smiling.
"You better be okay, what would we do with out you?" Draco said quietly." she said picking up another book.
"Cherry…come on take your books and lets go alright." He said getting up.
"Alright, come on Draco," she said getting up.
"Thank you…are you alright you look like your getting sick are you?" Draco asked.
"I don't know I think I'm okay but I'm not sure its kind of hard to tell most of the time with me." She said smiling.
"You better be okay, what would we do with out you?" Draco said quietly.
Cherry looked at the floor as she re-propped her books on her hip again. By now she knew the floors of the school and all the regular turns plus a few others Draco had shown her in the dungeons. She was lost in her own thoughts, Cherry couldn't of heard anything no lectures as they passed classes or the talking of other students they passed. They had just finished there last class a while ago and were headed back to there common room.
Draco sat himself down on the couch stretching his legs out on it. Cherry went down the stairs slowly and threw her books and her bag on her bed, tossed her school cloak to the side and headed back to the common room. As soon as she stepped in the corner of the room Draco called her over.
"What do you want Draco?" she asked standing in front of the couch.
Draco took her hand and twirled the ring around looking at it. Holding her hand Draco pulled her down on top of himself. She leaned back against him head on his cheast, legs between his. Cherry took his hand and interlocked there fingers laying there hands on her stomach. He kissed the side of her cheek and then pushed her hair behind her ear. She closed her eyes trying to relax a little while she could, she needed to get some sleep and they both knew that. A few minutes later Cherry started to get up and Draco stopped her again.
"What, where are you going?" he asked tiredly.
"Up to bed, I'm tired Draco," she said turning to look at him.
"No, don't move, I'm comfortable you can sleep here," he said pulling her back down.
Cherry leaned back on him again and fixed her skirt pulling it down some. Laying back she closed her eyes knowing she could sleep on his cheast anytime she wanted. Sleep didn't last long, at least it didn't seem long enough before Jason was waking them up. Cherry sat up quietly stretching out, and watched Draco yawn bringing a hand up under his head. She kissed him lightly on the lips standing up slowly pulling him up behind her. It was Saturday and Cherry was ready to go and meet her friends, she missed them so much.
Draco waited in the common room for Cherry with a few of his own friends. Goyle, Crabbe, Darren, Pansy and Jason sat around looking at each other. Jason finally got up heading out the door Pansy close behind him. Darren looked up as Michel jumped over the back of the couch, and turned to Draco.
What do you want Michel?" Draco asked not looking up to him.
"I was just going to ask, have you hit third base yet with Cherry?" Draco looked up.
"Why do you care?" he asked.
"I was wondering because by now you've could have had any girl you wanted, three or four times." Michel said.
"Do you all think me dating hers a joke…its not a joke, I would have broke up with her by now if it was, I love being with her." He said getting angry.
"So I guess that's a no," Michel said to himself.
"He has seriously fallen hard for her, I don't think he's admitted it to himself yet, but her loves her." Darren said as Draco and Cherry left the room.
Cherry looked up as Draco walked in the girls room she was barely ready to go. Draco spun her around and kissed her pulling her into a hug. Cherry pulled back from him slowly wondering what was wrong with him now.
"You know how much I like you, I would never do anything to hurt you…you know that right?" he asked looking at her.
"Yeah I know, why Draco? What's wrong honey?" she asked taking his hand.
"I just wanted to make sure you knew," he said wrapping his other arm around his shoulder.
Cherry pulled him out of the castle and they went quietly; Cherry was worried about Draco again. He looked at her and smiled lightly, he knew she was wondering about his random out burst now though. She tried to push it out of her mind, she was getting to see her friends again.
Walking to Hogsmede was agreed between both of them that it would have been better walk if the post had been lit and the stars were shining.
