Hello my lovely readers! I am SO sorry for not updating for like FOREVER, but ya know, school starting... and I really feel bad for not updating "Burst My Bubble" but I WILL. Promise.
Now, here's a little filler chapter, a little jump from where we left off. This is sort of mostly building Draco's and Savannah's relationship further. Just discovered this chapter's pretty long. Haha. anyways.
I hope to be done with part 4 very soon.
Dedicated to everyone who reviewed on the last chapter:

Part 3 – The Astronomy Tower
Savannah sighed as she switched position, adjusting the book in her hands.
She was sitting in an abandoned old class room with a open arch/window thing that looked like there had been glass in but that was gone now. And it was perfect for Savannah to sit there, enjoying the view...
It was the last week before they would go back to their homes... she was excited to see her parents and little sister, but she would miss everybody.
But lately she yelled at her four best friends a lot.
Not without a reason, of course. They STILL followed her everywhere, guarding her.
One night she had overheard them discussing why he always stared at her.
Idiots.
So it would be nice to get home for some privacy.
Though this day was lucky for her.
Ever since everything with Sirius and Lupin happened, Harry was deep in thought, so was the others.
So when Ron was bit by Sirius(as the animagus of course) he was now being taken care of by Madam Pomfrey. So happily, they had said it was okay for Savannah to go.
Though they had made sure she was not seeing Draco, by simply Hermione throwing spells at the door so it was locked for just Draco.
Weird.
Overreacting.
Crazy.
Fucking.
Friends.
Ugh.
Savannah was currently reading a great book named Dazzi – about the lonely house elf, named Dazzi, who worked for Grindelwald just before his rise(and fall). She was interview by some interviewer and apparently her story was interesting enough to write a book about. And it was great.
Just when Savannah got really into the book, she heard a noise, like wings moving in the wind. She looked up and to her surprise came a grey owl flying towards her.
She watched the owl until it landed just in front of her, lifting up its foot. Savannah released the little letter and opened it, revealing a short but sweet note in a beautifully messy handwriting.
Savannah.
Do you think you can fool the four devils for five minutes and come to the astronomy tower?
I need to talk to you.
Send you answer back with my owl.
D.M.
Savannah's mouth silently shaped a surprised O. It was not hard to guess who DM was, she only knew one person with the initials DM. Draco Malfoy.
Why did he need to talk to her?
She thought for three seconds before quickly scrabbling down:
Draco.
Fine. Be right there.
S.A.
She watched the owl fly around the castle, picked up her books and tiptoed to the door. She quietly opened it and found the hall empty.
The few minutes it took to walk she was nervous about every corner. What if any of the, as Draco called them, four devils saw her suspiciously walking away from where she PROMISED so deeply to stay?
She shook the horrible thought of the consequences of THAT out of her head when she reached the owl tower.
Draco Malfoy was lazily resting against the stone wall, waiting for Savannah to arrive.
He knew the Trio and the Weasley girl had been like the dragons at Gringotts since the Sunday they spoke. Been watching her all the time. He had seen her sitting with them, walking in the halls, or into the girls bathroom with them in her tracks - she looked VERY annoyed at all times.
Suddenly he heard footsteps and turned around the same time the beautiful girl he wished he could get out of his head stood there. Her long dark brown slightly curly hair flow and looked even beautiful today in the light from the sun outside.
"You wanted me to come?" she said quietly.
"What are you going to do this summer?" he said simply. Watching here as she watched him trying to figure out his purpose with this.
"I'm.. going to go home to my parents and little sister, we're going to France for two weeks and and later this summer we will visit my aunt, she lives in Dublin.
As she was talking she moved closer to the arch window next to Draco, and looked out over the grounds.
"Where in France?" Draco asked, still looking at her. Savannah looked at him surprised.
"Ehm, well, Paris and then the south coast."
"Are you gonna see the Eifel Tower?" Draco then asked, surprisingly he sounded... interested.
Savannah couldn't put her finger on what he wanted out of this meeting.
"I-I think so, but Draco, why are you-"
"I just wanted to talk to you. You know we have rarely got to look at each other since that Sunday, so you know... wanted to see how you were."
Savannah decided he was telling the truth and smiled.
"Draco Malfoy being sweet. Never thought I would live to see that happend."
He laughed and she found herself liking his laugh more and more.
"Well, anything for a pretty girl." he said and winked flirtatiously.
Savannah blushed deeply, and Draco smiled widely.
Savannah looked back over the grounds again, until she felt Draco standing close to her, in fact he was very close. She could smell him, and oh he smelled good. She felt his body brushing against hers. It was causing her breathing deeply. Draco brushed away a strand of hair from her eyes. She closed her eyes, not daring to look at him.
A half hour later Savannah opened her eyes.
"Draco, we have to go to down to eat!" she said.
"Well, we don't have to..." he said, lips against her ear.
She couldn't say she actually wanted to go... the position they were currently standing in was far too comfortable for her own good. Savannah was leaning her arms against window's frame, leaning slightly forward. Draco was standing with his left arm around her waist and with his face buried in her hair, breathing in her scent. His right hand was positioned on Savannah's hand, intertwining their fingers. She was leaning her head a bit against his.
How they ended up like this, she didn't know. The small talk had stopped and been replaced with a comfortable silence.
And it felt.... weirdly natural to end up like this. They kept moving towards each other, his arm sneaked around her waist, hand above hers, he moved closer, burying his face in her hair. And there they were.
"I know... but Hermione, Harry and Ron will freak if I won't be there. Especially since we are going in there together."
Draco lifted his head staring at her.
"We are!?"
She looked at him, smiling slightly.
"Yes."
