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. They had to admit either way it was fine because they were together. Both Cherry and Draco knew it would have been different with out the other there.

As they headed in the little town they stopped walking to the side. Cherry looked around she had been there before, she knew she had been. Draco took her hand pulling her attention back to himself.

"I have something I have to take care of…I'll meet you there in like twenty minutes." He said kissing her hand.

"Alright," she watched him disappear into the crowd.

She ran down Hogsmede she was late for a meeting she was suppose to be having with her friends. She couldn't wait to see the look on there faces when she would tell them about Draco, he was so nice to her. If he came by later she might even have a chance to introduce all her friends to him. This month would make three that they'd been going out now, but she still didn't know if she really loved him or not.

She ran past the Hogs Head Pub and was pulled to a stop by someone who'd just grabbed her arm. She took a breath and looked up at the person; her eyes widen as she realized it was Draco's dad.

"Mr. Malfoy," she said calmly.

"Now Cherry dear, where would you be running off to in such a hurry, hum?" he asked looking at her.

"I'm headed to the ice cream shop to meet some friends, but I was late because I was with Draco sir," she said glancing at the ground.

"Yes, well run along then," he said showing a cold smile.

"Thank you Mr. Malfoy." She said.

"Oh by the way you can call me Lucius," she looked back at him.

"I know, but I'm not combatable calling you that sir," she said and took off again.

Mr. Malfoy watched her run down the alley a little father than turned back to who he'd been talking to before he saw her running down the street. Something about that girl made him a little upset that he was not Draco's age once again; but what said he had to be to get what he wanted right? Lucius looked up at him and opened his mouth to day something but he beat him to it.

"She looks powerful…beyond her years perhaps?" he asked.

"Yes she is, and if my foolish son does anything to screw this up, he'll find out just what the dark arts really are like." Lucius said.

"Yes, plus you'll lose all the money she'd be bringing in when they got married," he said.

"Your right, I'll meet up with you again later." He said heading off.

Draco stood at the edge of the Mystical Pets, pet shop waiting for someone. He didn't move as people walked by, he kept his eyes on the ground and leaned against the building hands in his pockets. He quickly looked up a few seconds later and smirked at what seemed to be nothing.

"Took you long enough…your late." He said not moving.

"Mind your manners boy…you don't want to see me just as much as I don't want to see you. Im simply here to tell you not to even think about daring to do anything that could possibly hurt your girlfriend!" Lucius said threating.

"Like I ever would, im not you," Draco said sharply.

"Watch your tongue! As much as we hate to admit it her family is dark art prone and if something happens she wouldn't give a second thought about blasting you off the face of the planet." He told him as Draco turned around.

"Yes, there is that and you wont get her money if something happens." Draco said raising an eyebrow.

"Don't push your luck boy…enjoy the rest of your day, I'll see you in December; Cherry's still coming over right?" Draco nodded his head as his father disappeared.

Draco looked down at his watch and shook his head, was he really that late meeting her already? He fastened his pace and made it to the parlor in less than ten minutes. Draco walked in the door of the place and looked around, slowly he walked up behind Cherry and wrapped his arms around her.

Cherry turned the corner and ran into Mya and Ron, Adam and Hermione, she smiled they were all waiting for there friends to show up now. Mya looked around the street then back at Cherry with a curious look on her face.

"Hey Cherry, where's Draco at?" she asked.

"He'll be here in a little while, so where's Jason?" Cherry replied.

"Well…he doesn't like up and we done like his girlfriend." Hermione said.

"Him and Pansy are invisible already." Adam said dropping it.

"Oh my god Trinny, Leriane! Ahh, oh god I've missed you guys, so where are the guys?" Cherry asked.

"Right there…where is he?" Trinny asked looking around.

"He'll be here in awhile, so Adams dating Hermione one of the top of class; Jason's dating Pansy kinda shady, Mya's dating Ron he seems nice enough, Claire and the others aren't gonna be here though," Cherry told the girls as Mya walked over and Jason came out the door.

Jason walked over to the guys and stood beside Adam to get in the conversation. Pansy, Hermione and Ron all disappeared as the old friends sat down to talk. Lee finally looked up at Jason smiling he had to ask there was no way he could resist this one.

"You don't like him much do you man?" Lee asked.

"What are you talking about exactly?" he asked.

"Cherry's new boyfriend, you don't like him do you…cant stand the thought of her being with someone else can you?" Graham asked.

"I hate him, Malfoy that is, its not her being with someone else, its just her being with Draco that gets to me," Jason said.

"Jason get over it, she's in love…but if it makes you happy to know Harry Potter likes her, although we all know his got no chance what so ever." Adam said.

"The Harry Potter? She sure picks the best ones to make fall for her." Graham said.

"Well Harry's got the fame, but Malfoy's got the name…and the money, and the power, and the respect…" Jason said shaking her head.

"I guess I side with you man I wouldn't trust the Malfoy name either," Lee said as they all sat down together.

"You know I heard that Lee!" Cherry said looking at him.

"Just thinkin' out loud Cherry, ignore me," he said leaning back.

"Why don't you just leave her alone about it guys!" Mya said pushing her hair back.

Adam smiled shaking his head as Hermione sat beside him pushing her hair back behind her ear. They all sat around talking about what had been happening over the last three months. Slowly the rest of the girlfriends or boyfriends showed up. Ron sat behind Mya and hung an arm over her shoulder; as Pansy walked over shortly after and sat on Jason's knee placing an arm around his neck.

Cherry slouched down, she had missed her friends but she didn't want to be around them for some reason. Mya threw an elbow into her side and Cherry sat up throwing her a look. Slowly he walked in and up behind her wrapping his arms around her.

Cherry jumped up turning around she wrapped her arms around him tightly. Draco sat down and pulled her down on top of his knees and wrapped his arms around her waist. Cherry introduced him the same way all the others did. The guys didn't care for him she could tell; the girls thought he was extremely hot just by the look in their eyes.

Not More than half an hour later Draco was well feed up with Cherry's friends. He laid his head on her shoulder looking around the table once more. Only the girls seemed remotely interested in him, and that didn't surprise him or keep his attention for much longer than a few minutes. He looked up at Cherry and took her hand spinning the ring around and whispered in her ear.

"Come on baby lets get out of here?" he said and squeezed her hand.

"Alright," she said getting up.

"…Wait Cherry, Where are you going?" Trinny asked.

She didn't say a word nor did she turn to give one last look, she just simply left as Draco's side. For a minute everyone just looked around at each other; well until Leriane said what everyone was thinking.

"What happened? What's wrong with her?" Leriane asked the guys.

"Did she let herself fall into another control relationship?" Trinny asked.

"That would make sense," Mya said.

As soon as Trinny said these words Pansy slowly backed away from Jason, Then ran out the door with Jason following her.

"I think she knows something, you think guys?" Hermione asked.

"Yes, I think she does know what's going on…I think Jason does to…he was quick to leave behind her." Lee said.

As the day drug on slowly the friends started parting to make there way home or back towards school. Finally it was only Mya, Ron, Trinny, and Graham left. Trinny made her way out the door and Graham was bidding his final good byes, as the was setting in the distance.

Mya looked over at Ron on the way back from Hogsmede then looked back down. Ron noticed the look in her eyes and pulled her closer still.

"Your worried about her now aren't you?" Ron asked.

"Yeah a little, I mean you really think there right about the whole Cherry and Draco?" she asked.

"I hope there not right, I don't think they could be he just wouldn't do that…I don't think," Ron said.

"Oh Mya baby, everything's gonna be alright, don't worry about it hun." He said trying to reassure himself as well.
