Draco watched as Blaze tore after Danielle. He looked up at Nikki, who
shook her head at him and got up.
"I think you need some time alone," she said quietly, "To think." She bent down, kissed Draco on the cheek, and left.
Nikki arrived in the Slytherin common room to find Blaze sitting on a couch alone.
"You okay?" Nikki asked.
"I'm fine," Blaze said, "But Danielle isn't. She won't let anyone talk to her." Blaze looked really worried.
"Maybe I'll try," said Nikki. Blaze nodded.
"Good luck," he said, "You'll need it."
Nikki walked up the stairs to the Girls Dormitories, and knocked on the door to her and Danielle's room.
"Go away!" said Danielle angrily.
"No," said Nikki firmly, "Besides, it's my room, too."
Danielle swung the door open and stubbornly wiped tears off her face. Nikki sat on her bed and motioned for Danielle to do the same. She did, closing the door, first.
"What?" said Danielle. Nikki decided to get right to the point.
"I'll admit it," she started, "Draco shouldn't have said that, you didn't do anything to him. You have every right to be mad at him."
"I know that!" snapped Danielle.
After a few minutes of silence, Nikki said suddenly,
"Blaze likes you." Danielle stared at her.
"Imagine that," she said sarcastically, "My boyfriend likes me."
"No," said Nikki, "I mean, he really, really likes you."
"And I really, really like him-" started Danielle but Nikki interrupted her.
"Well then, act more like it," she said, "No offense, but sometimes it seems to me like all you do is rub him in Draco's face. Danielle was silent, thinking about what Nikki had just said.
"You're right," said Danielle sister, "I'm a terrible girlfriend, and an even worse sister!"
"Oh don't say that!" said Nikki, "You are a wonderful sister, and according to Blaze, the perfect girlfriend. Just go talk to Blaze."
"Trust me," said Danielle getting up, "I'm going to. Right now, in fact."
"Now?" asked Nikki doubtfully, "You sure you feel up to it? Because-"
"Nikki!" interrupted Danielle, "Now you're starting to get annoying! Chill out, I'm fine. See ya later."
She brushed pass Nikki and walked into the Slytherin common room. Blaze was sitting on a couch, looking worried. Danielle sat next to him, and he looked at her and smiled.
"You okay?" he asked.
"Why shouldn't I be?" asked Danielle, snuggling up against Blaze and smiling, "I have the world's sweetest boyfriend."
Blaze looked surprised, but he put his arms around Danielle, who said,
"Look, Blaze I'm really sorry if it seems like I've been using you to piss off my brother, but I'm really not. The truth is-"
Just then, Draco walked in. Danielle saw him and stood up, her eyes burning with rage.
"I'm sorry, Blaze," she said, "But I refuse to be in the same room as that pathetic excuse for a human being!"
She stormed out of the room, but Draco ran after her.
"Danielle, wait!" he called.
"Get lost! You little bastard!" Danielle shrieked at him.
"No," said Draco, panting to keep up with his sister, "It's important-"
"Not as important as you staying as far away from me as possible!" cried Danielle, turning around to face him, "Never, has anyone said something that mean to me before! But my own brother? Draco, once you realize how mean that was, then we'll talk."
She ran back up to her room, leaving Draco feeling terrible. He hadn't meant any of what he'd said at The Three Broomstick. It was so painful when Danielle was mad at him, he and his sister were usually very close.

About a week before Christmas Break, the Slytherins and Gryffindors were huddled around the gamekeeper's, Rubeus Hagrid, hut for Care of Magical Creatures class.
"Today," boomed Hagrid, "Yer gonna be getting Puffskiens to take care of fer a month."
"I had one of them once," Ron whispered to Harry.
"What happened to it?" asked Harry.
"Fred used it for bludger practice," said Ron giving a little shiver.
"I will be pairing ya up in groups of 2, and giving you your Puffskeins. Before I do, does anyone know what a Puffskein is?"
Instantly, Hermione's hand shot into the air.
"Yes Hermione?" said Hagrid.
"The Puffskein," she started, "Is a very easy creature to care for. It likes to be thrown around and cuddled. The Puffskeins are beloved pets, and will eat leftovers. When it is content, the Puffskein emits a low humming noise."
"Exactly," said Hagrid smiling, "10 points ter Gryffindor!"
"Stupid mudblood," muttered Draco. Nikki giggled and lightly pressed her finger against his lips. Draco kissed Nikki's fingers softly, and she giggled again and moved them away.
"Now," said Hagrid, clapping his hands and looking around at his students, "I'm goin' ter pair ya up, in a boy/girl order. Like a mum an' dad."
Blaze looked at Danielle, who smirked back. He took her hand in his and caressed it lightly.
"I wish he let us pick our partners," Blaze whispered.
"Yeah," teased Danielle, "Then I could be with Keppler," she was referring to a cute Slytherin boy, Tom Keppler.
"Hey," said Blaze, laughing and pushing her shoulder playfully, "What about your boyfriend?"
"What about you?" Danielle teased again.
"Alright that's it," said Blaze grinning, "I can't resist the temptation anymore."
Blaze pushed Danielle down on the grass and kissed her. Danielle rolled on top of him and separated their lips, gasping for breath.
"Get up," she said, "Before Hagrid catches us!"
"Damn him," said Blaze.
The two got up reluctantly just as Hagrid walked over to their place in the grass.
"Everything alright over here?" he asked suspiciously.
"Yeah," said Danielle, all too aware that she was panting as she smoothed her hair down, "Were fine. Now, who are the partners?"
Just then, the bell rang. Everyone gathered their books and prepared to head to the Great Hall for lunch.
"Hold it! Hold it!" roared Hagrid, "I want all of you ter come an' see me after lunch. I will tell you yer partners and hand out yer little pride an' joys."
Rolling their eyes, Danielle, Blaze, Draco and Nikki left to go to lunch. Danielle and Blaze kept their distance from the others, because they were mad at Draco still.
They walked into the Great Hall and Danielle noticed they were being followed. Ron Weasley was again following Danielle with a dreamy look on his face. She ignored him and sat at the Slytherin table next to Blaze. Ron followed and Professor Snape cleared his throat.
"I beg your pardon, Mr. Weasley," he said coldly, "But I do believe you are in Gryffindor."
Ron went as red as his hair and took his usual seat at the Gryffindor table. Hermione scowled at him.
Danielle was disgusted. Blaze pulled her towards him, and put an arm around her. Danielle sighed.
"It's amazing how stupid some people can be," she said referring to Ron, "The git's totally clueless."
"One of these days," said Blaze, "I'm gonna throw a punch at that Weasel so hard, it'll send him on a one-way trip to the moon."
"Is that a threat, Mr. Zabini?" teased Danielle.
"I believe so, Miss. Malfoy," said Blaze grinning and making sure that no one else heard the 'Miss. Malfoy' part, "Are you gonna do something about it?"
"Nah," said Danielle, "It's only Weasley. I'd probably egg you on." Blaze laughed.
"So very true," he said.
After lunch, the Slytherin and Gryffindor 6th years piled back outside in front of Hagrid's hut. Hagrid was waiting amongst crates, with a long piece of parchment in his hands.
"Okay," he said, "Let's get started. The partners are as follows. Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. Draco Malfoy and Nikki Felton. Blaze Zabini and Pansy Parkinson."
Blaze groaned and glared at Pansy.
Danielle was confused. Who could Hagrid have possibly put her with? Hagrid continued down the list of names until finally,
"Danielle Everwood," Hagrid boomed, "You're with Ron Weasley."
