Pirate Blood

Chapter 48

What Do You Wear When You're Pretending to Meet Your Brother and his Girlfriend for the First Time?

Three Months Later...

Draco had practically reverted back to the jackass he'd been before. He made the younger children fear him. He was rude to everyone, including his friends. Only his friends understood it, though. He missed Kaylee. The excuse was somewhat pathetic, but it was the truth.

Blaise had become rather distant from the group. He'd been spending most of his time with Dani. He still hadn't introduced her to his friends. Dani feared that they would realize it was her.

Jesse and Hermione were relatively normal. She'd been helping him with his school work so that he'd graduate. "So if you mix eye of newt, bat wings, and toad legs, what will you get?"

"An utterly disgusting dinner." Jesse smirked.

"Come on, Jess. Seriously."

"Fine...um, is it a potion to cure acne?"

"Yes!" Hermione kissed him.

"Now had you told me in the beginning that I'd get a kiss, I would've tried harder." he said before kissing her again.

Draco walked into the common room. "Bloody hell, get a fucking room."

"We have one. You just happen to be in it, and, might I add, completely ruining the moment." Jesse replied.

Draco ignored him and continued to storm up to his room.

"Well, that's improvement." Hermione commented.

"How is that improvement?" Jesse questioned.

"Well, he didn't directly insult us or slam his door."

"Hey, did I leave my Transfiguritation book here?" Blaise asked as he walked in.

"Yeah, it's right here." Hermione handed the thick book to him.

"Thanks."

"Hey Blaise, maybe if you aren't busy we can all hang out tomorrow at Hogsmeade." Jesse suggested.

"Sorry, I have plans with Dani."

"Well bring her along. I'd like to meet the girl who's always taking you away from us." Hermione said.

"I don't think–"

"Blaise," Hermione said lowly, "just one day. I just want one day where things seem remotely normal, alright?"

"Okay. Tomorrow the four of us will go to Hogsmeade." Blaise agreed.

Inside the Room of Requirements...

"You what?!?!" Isabel yelled, "I can't believe you agreed to that! You know how hard I work to avoid all of them!"

"I didn't have a choice. I haven't hung out with them in a while and I can tell they aren't happy about it. Plus they want to meet 'Dani.' Or we could just tell them that you're Isabel, and then they wouldn't have to worry about meeting you for the first time, since you did that with Jesse in the womb and all."

Isabel sighed, "What time are we going at?"

"One." Blaise smiled. He knew that it wouldn't be hard to get her to agree to go.

"Alright. Now I have to pick out something good to wear. What do I wear to meet my boyfriend's friends?"

"Why are you worrying about that?"

"I want to make a good impression on them."

"Love, it's your brother and his girlfriend."

"But they don't know that."

Hogsmeade...

Dani, who was wearing a pretty purple v-neck t-shirt and bootleg jeans, and Hermione were on the opposite side of a shop looking at make-up while Blaise and Jesse talked and looked through Quidditch magazines. "So, what do you think of her?" Blaise asked.

"I think she's nice."

"That's it?"

"I cna't shake the feeling that I know her."

"Hmm, I don't know why."

"She reminds me of someone. I just don't know who."

Meanwhile, back at Hogwarts...

Draco was sitting my the lake thinking about Kaylee. It was surprisingly warm for April. Draco knew that Kaylee would have been in the lake swimming.

"Hi." said a voice from behind, interrupting his thoughts.

"Go away." He didn't want to be bothered.

"I thought you'd change your mind by now." The voice said quietly.

Draco whipped his head around to look at the person. She stood there in only a white tank top and blue jeans, but looked more beautiful than ever to him. "Kaylee," he breathed. He didn't acknoledge the fact that she was in the form of Chris. He grabbed her and kissed her passionately. He missed the way she tasted.

"So does that mean you changed your mind?" she smiled.

"Hell yes." he said before pulling her in for another kiss.

(A/N: I hope everyone has had/is having a great spring break! Mine has given me a lot of time to write. I'm starting to write the end of Pirate Blood. I'm a little sad and a little relieved. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I think I'll have the next chapter done in a week or two. As always, please review! I'm a feedback whore. I live off of it. L8R, Nikki)
