NICE GUYS 6
^^ not to self: erase (:
Hi (: How are you guys? Good, I am too. So far, one person has asked for Draco POV, so I guess I'll try? It may not be the best; well it won't be the best to be blunt. I got two reviews within the first day of uploading the chapter, which makes me happy (: I love you guys :D (I think it's bad that I had to go back to the story to remember where we left off… (:
EDIT: No Draco POV, it was horribly OOC, (but he is now any way so... oh well it was just horrible)

I smiled and continued writing my essay for Herbology. Once finishing, I closed the book and stood up to put the book away. I wandered around the library leaving Ron and Harry talking. I began to think of where I found my book when I bumped into a figure in front of me. I fell back landing on my butt and dropping my book in front of me. I looked up quickly and saw Dralfoy looking at me on the floor too. I suddenly got flustered and he stood up, putting his hand out to help me up.
I gratefully took his hand and nodded at him. "Thank you Dral—uh, Draco." I picked up my book and just put it in the first place I saw. I turned around and went to go find Harry and Ron.
"Wait, Abby." Draco took a step towards me and put a hand on my shoulder. I stopped and turned around.
"What?"
He thought for a minute until saying, "Meet me in the Astronomy Tower tonight at 10."
"Why?" I crossed my arms in front of my chest and challenged him with my eyes.
"Just…please?" His eyes softened and I melted. I'm somewhat ashamed to say it but I helped and got lost inside his silver eyes. I sighed.
"Okay." I broke away from his hand that was still on my shoulder and walked back to harry and Ron, finding that they were gone. I picked up my bag I got earlier and walked to my next class: History of Magic. I was regretting this class and didn't want to take a History lesson. I kept walking through the halls with my arms crosses across my chest and my bag on my shoulder.
Tonight, I was meeting with Draco (I've decided to call him that if I'm meeting him) in The Astronomy Tower, past curfew. I couldn't let anyone know about this.
-After Classes (: -
I sat in the common room. Fred and George were playing a game at wizard's chess and starting to get impatient. I watched them from the couch while a few other students were doing homework. I sat next to Fred on the ground and watched him make his move, whispering where he wanted the piece to go. I laughed, knowing George was about to beat him.
"What?" Fred questioned me. I nodded towards the board where George whispered for his piece to break Fred's. George raised his hands in victory, cheering. I laughed while Fred tipped over the board.
"Cheated!" Fred pointed to George who was laughing with me.
I wiped a tear from my eye and giggled. "I didn't cheat and you know it, Fredrick!" George laughed and sighed, trying to regain breathe. I looked at the clock and saw the time, 9:30. Fred and George declared they were going to bed. I wished them a goodnight and the other students started to retreat upstairs. I decided to start going to the Tower early.
I grabbed my jacket from the couch and looked myself over in the mirror. My faded Beetles t-shirt was slightly wrinkled and my jeans were white and had dirt on the legs from me running around with those two pranksters. I sighed and walked out of the common room, my grey converse making too much noise. I slipped them off and padded down the hall in my socks.
Looking up the stairs I saw no one walking down and quickly ran up. I pulled my hood up and made sure my wand was in the inside pocket just in case. I didn't slip the whole way up and once I got to the tower, I saw a dark figure standing near the side looking at the stars. I walked towards the figure and cleared my throat.
Draco spun around quickly, almost scared, but calmed down when he saw it was only me.
"Oh, it's only you." Draco stayed in his place and put his wand in his pocket.
"Only me? Maybe I would turn you in," my American side coming out through my voice. He looked at me strangely and I could see the side of his mouth twitch. I sat on the ground, facing a side of the tower that was open, and patted the side beside me. He moved his head to the side and I rolled my eyes.
"Sit down. You won't die from the dirt." I rolled my eyes. He sat next to me and looked at the stars again.
"Why did you want me here?" I asked him.
"I don't know, I wanted company and asked you." Draco kept looking at the stars. I looked from the sky to my hands and kept twisting them. I was quiet nervous and wasn't sure what to say. I pushed my hood from my face and rubbed my hands on it. I looked up at the sky and began counting.
"Beautiful night, isn't it?" I said quietly, not sure if I should speak at all.
"Yeah…" Draco trailed off and looked over at me. His silver eyes meet my now blue ones. "Why did you agree to meet me here?"
I racked my brain trying to think of a reason but found none. "No idea."
"Why do you hate me?" He challenged me, still looking deep in my eyes. I coughed and looked around but my eyes looked back at his.
"You've insulted 'Mione enough, called Harry and I blood-traitors many times. You insult the Weasley's, practically my family, on a daily basis, so I should be asking: why do you do it? Is it because of your family? Because frankly, you shouldn't care what they think of you and you shouldn't try to please them so much. They're your family you shouldn't have to try." I started rambling still in my American accent making hand motions and counting on my fingers.
He looked defeated. "I have, and I honestly have to say, I am sorry. I just do what I do…" I stood up and began to walk back.
"I'll see you later, Malfoy." I said calmly and walked back downstairs. I had my shoes in one hand and stopped at a window to sit down on the ledge and slip on my shoes. I ran back down a flight of stairs and mumbled the password to the Fat Lady, who didn't question me but just let me in. I ran upstairs and quietly went in my dorm to show and get ready for bed.
-NEXT DAY: FREE CLASS—
I sat in the library with Harry and Ron having no homework I helped them with their essays. I've been in my American accent ever since last night: it just came naturally for me.
Ron began to ask me a question and I moved my chair to him. I looked in the book and pointed to the answer.
"Ron, have you even been paying attention in Potions? Simple question." I smiled and Ron rolled his eyes. Harry smiled and kept writing. He closed his book and put his quill and parchment in his bag.
"Finished. And glad I am too." Harry stretched his arms and ruffled my hair. I laughed and ran my hand through my hair to somewhat fix the mess. I started to get bored and changed my hair to a rainbow color pattern. Harry looked at me funny and laughed.
"What?" I changed my eyes to match the rainbow colors. I found no point in this and just changed it back to Harry's hair color and blue eyes. I looked down at my Hogwarts uniform: Gryffindor tie with a white shirt and black cloak and black pants. My shoes were the same grey ones I had that one night.
"You have detention tonight?" Ron asked and I nodded. I almost forgot about it.
"I have detention with Umbridge for a whole week." I laid my head on Ron's shoulder as he continued writing. Classes have gotten me tired, especially Defense Against the Dark Arts. I wasn't sure about Malfoy anymore; what to call him, what to do about him, anything. "We need to learn proper defense, you do know that, right Harry?" He nodded and thought for a minute. The bell rung twice meaning we were to go to our next class.
-Detention—(sorry, don't feel like writing boring class scenes; tell me if you want them though.)
Hermione walked me up to Umbridge's office and I was nervous the whole way. I had no idea what she wanted me to do and was quiet scared.
"Are you okay, Abs? You seem tense." Hermione looked at me concerned and I forced a smile.
"Yeah I'm fine, really." She nodded and didn't force anything. Once we got to the door she wished me good luck and walked back the way she came. I took a deep breath and opened the door.
The whole room was covered in the color pink with pictures of cats on plates put up in rows around the room. Her desk can completely clean and organized, with a cloth in the middle with lace on the edge. Umbridge motioned for me to sit at the desk next to her.
"This week you will be doing lines." I nodded and reached for my quill inside my bag. She stopped me.
"No no, you will be using a rather special quill." She stood up and picked up a black quill from her desk and placed it on the parchment on my desk. I looked on the little desk I had and saw no ink.
"Um, excuse me Professor, but you seem to have forgotten ink." I said quietly. She laughed.
"No, this quill needs to ink. You will write 'I must not tell lies.'" She informed me and walked behind me, looking over my shoulder.
"How many times?"
"Let's say, until the message sinks in." She smiled and nodded for me to begin.
I looked back at the parchment and picked up the quill with my left hand and began to write 'I must not tell lies.'
I felt my right hand begin to feel uncomfortable and began clenching and unclenching it. I let out a gasp and I began to feel skin breaking. I looked down at the line I wrote then at my right hand, and to my surprise, I saw, in my same scrawling handwriting, 'I must not tell lies' written in my blood. Now that I think about it, the ink was red, and the metallic smell hung in the air.
QUICKEST UPDATE EVER. Maybe? At least I think it is… but anyway. I think this chapter is okay, no Draco POV though, sorry D: but maybe another time. This time I just…couldn't. Sorry again. And now, to watch more Harry Potter, as I'm watching the fifth movie as I'm watching this. I wrote this chapter while watching it actually…so it should be…closer to the movie in some parts? Not really…
ANYWAY. R&R if you want, it would be nice if you did (:

PS: Right now I'm about to write a GeorgexOC fic, well I'm starting it now. It may be up soon. Maybe not :P
