\\Blinding Love// (Fred Weasley)
At breakfast the next morning, I sat in between Draco and Cheryl; Danni was in front of me sitting next to Theo who was sitting next to Montague and across from him and next to Draco's other side was Blaise; Adrian was next to him. Draco gave me a glare as I greeted him.
"Hi Draco."
He didn't say anything but continued to just eat his food.
"Hello, Earth to Draco." I laughed as I waved my hand in front of his face.
"Ellie, stop." he warned.
"Aww, what's the matter Draco? Did another girl dump you?" I joked. Cheryl nudged me who shook her head as a warning. I looked at her quizzically.
"Come on Draco, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? What's bloody wrong?! You and the Weasley is what are ruining my day." He slammed his fist down on the table which had me taken aback.
Everyone else paused for a moment to look at the scene that was beginning to grow. I wasn't going to take this harassment this early in the morning so I began to raise my voice.
"Dude, you need to relax. First of all, what about me and Fred?" I emphasized my boyfriend's name. He was a person after all.
"You're dating a blood traitor! You're turning on all of us!"
I was sick and tired of his bullshit and it was going to end now.
"Ok first of all Drake, it's none of your business who I date; secondly I am not turning on all of you. If anything, call me a two-face; lastly, if you want to tell that certain PERSON what is going on, then BE MY GUEST! Go ahead and kill one of your friends. It's not like some of us will die anyways in the war to come." I spoke in a loud, hushed voice at that last part.
"Ellie, you've gone NUTS! What the bloody hell is wrong with you?!"
"NO! What is wrong with you?! You're a follower Drake, not a leader, and if you were a leader, you'd suck at it." My voice was definitely the loudest in the hall and I knew for certain I was drawing eyeballs towards my direction.
"Ellie, you're just as stupid as your parents!"
Everyone at the table gasped or looked at each other with horrified expressions. Other tables in the great hall grew silent also as they watched this scenario. My eyes averted to the ground, anger filling me as I clenched my fist.
"Oh shit...she's going to blow!" Adrian hollered as I looked into Draco's icy blue eyes. I could see myself in them, I looked demonic and my eyes had changed to deep reddish brown.
"Ellie, I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean that."
"Of course you did." I then struck my fist into his nose, making him fall back off the bench and into the walk path of the tables as I climbed over the table.
Blaise got up out of his seat as did everyone else. Everyone in the hall began crowding around Draco and me, chanting 'FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!'. I whipped out my wand as he stood up.
"Come on Draco. Be a man and duel me." I said getting into position.
"Ellie, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that! I was just frustrated!" His voice was muffled as he clenched his now bleeding nose.
"Elise! Stop! Come on you're going to get in trouble!" Danni screamed as her and Cheryl tried to hold me back.
"Draco I swear, if you say anything like that ever again, I will maim you so bad, you'll be in St. Mungo's for months!" Someone then picked me up off the floor and carried me away before Umbridge came with Filch.
"What happened here?! Why is he bleeding?" I heard as Fred rushed me out of the Great Hall. When we were outside, he put me down as I kicked a rock.
"You're mad but that was brilliant; he deserved it." he laughed as I straightened my cloak.
"The hell he did. He had no right to compare me to my parents, for that matter, call me stupid."
"What was he yelling about anyways over there?"
"He was yelling because he found out about me going out with you. Why he should care? Not sure. It doesn't matter anyways; I broke his nose so that's his warning..." I cracked my knuckles to release the tension from all the anger I was holding in.
There was a slight moment when he was just staring at me while I threw some small pebbles in various corners of the courtyard.
"You're so cute when you're angry."
"I looked like the spawn of the Devil."
"No, you just looked cute." I rolled my eyes as I grabbed his hand and entwined my fingers with his.
"You're weird. Let's go to class." I said smiling. He shrugged as he followed.
During class, Fred and I passed notes. He told me of what had happened to his dad a few days ago. I thought what was going on with Potter was very strange. He also told me that Ron still didn't trust me. We wouldn't be going to their house but a hideout called The Order of the Phoenix. I was intrigued by this, how Dumbledore had people under the ministry finding things out. Almost at the end of class, I was passing the note back to Fred when Umbridge snatched it out of my hand.
"Passing notes are we?"
"Of course not ma'am. I was passing him a sheet of paper. He asked me for a piece." I sweetly smiled at the toad faced woman.
"Really, then why is it folded up?"
"Why is it not?"
She hurriedly unfolded the paper to find that there was indeed nothing on it.
"I told you I was telling the truth. Remember professor? I must not be bad." I quickly spoke before she got the idea of trying to unveil my spell. It was then that I had thought, 'Why didn't I just speak to him telepathically?'
Luckily, she simply handed the paper to Fred and continued monitoring everyone else in the class as she watched us complete our assignment. The day had dragged on slower than ever until finally, the last class, Care of Magical Creatures arrived. We had gone to see the Thestrals and Hagrid educated us and we fed them meat. I could see them, unlike a lot of other people; you have to see death to be able to see them. I had seen death once before, the death of my dog actually. I was little and I was playing with my muggle friends with my brand new dog.
We were playing hide and seek with my dog and we were running back and forth between streets. I was hiding behind a bush and my dog was in the middle of the street when all of a sudden, I heard a screeching noise and I jumped out of the bush to see a truck hit my dog. My dog's ribs were broken and he was drooling out blood. He finished his life in my arms. My dad beat me severely when I told him what happened. He blamed me for killing my dog and I wasn't allowed to have another pet. How tragic is that?
After class, Fred and I walked hand in hand towards the castle.
"So there's a party in the common room tomorrow and I wanted you to come."
"I'm not allowed in, I'm in another house."
"Elise, it's a party and you're a guest. Besides, the day after tomorrow the password is being changed so it wouldn't matter if you hear it anyways."
"Oh, well then I guess I'll go. If you guys need food for the party, my house elf can provide things." I suggested.
"How is that?"
"She works here now, seeing as how my house was burned to the ground and I am here."
He gave me a giant hug and smiled at me.
"You're so smart."
"I know. I was supposed to be in Ravenclaw." I said in a matter of fact tone.
"Ah so that's why you're a smart Slytherin." I laughed as we walked to dinner. When we parted the ways and I walked over to the usual spot where I sat at my table, everyone was laughing at something.
"Why are you all laughing like school girls?" I questioned as I sat down. I looked among my group of friends to notice that a certain someone wasn't present.
"Where's Draco?"
"He's in the Hospital Wing. The big baby passed out from losing so much blood after you disappeared." Montague informed me.
"That was some punch Elise." Adrian congratulated as Blaise patted me on the back.
"That's what he gets. So, what did you guys tell Umbridge?"
"Oh, we said that he dropped his fork when he bent down to pick it up and banged his nose on the table." Theodore suddenly spoke.
I simply nodded at him with notice. It was odd that he had suddenly spoken up. He didn't like our little gang and normally never spoke to any of us because he couldn't stand any of us at all. He only came to sit with us because of Danni. I suppose he only answered my question because it was his idea. He was a very smart guy after all, one of the smartest in Slytherin and that's another reason why he didn't like us. He was the loner type of person who was too smart to be in a clique like ours. I didn't blame him one bit.
"Ellie, we all know how you don't want to do...you know." Adrian began to whisper. "But, as our friend, we care for you and we have your back. Even though we don't think you should be dating that Weasley, we respect your decision." Adrian explained with just a hint of disgust. He was always the nicest to me, even though we had our battles every now and then.
"That's sweet Adrian." Cheryl commented.
"Why thanks." he winked at her.
"Well, yeah. I mean who knows? I might marry someone from Hufflepuff." Montague said sarcastically. Cheryl gave him an absurd look like he was from outer space or something along those lines. Obviously she didn't hear his tone of sarcasm.
"That's absurd, who?"
"I don't know! Someone, anything can happen you know." I hid a smile at Montague's poor attempt to impress Cheryl. Fred came over to my table after dinner and grabbed me.
"I'll see you guys at the common room." I called back as I was dragged out of the mess hall.
"Do you have to be marked?" Fred questioned me when we took a walk around the snowy grounds. The night sky was so gorgeous and mysterious; never ending twinkling stars were lighting up the sky.
"Yeah, I do. If I decline, I'll be in serious trouble. Believe me; I don't want to be marked, to have that curse upon my arm forever? Some tattoo that will be." I laughed.
I sat on the giant roots of this old tree that was near the waters edge of the Black Lake; it was another place I also liked to come to when I wanted to be alone. Fred sat behind me, his arms wrapping around me to keep me warm, letting me lean against his shoulder, letting my legs swing from the high lifted roots as I gazed at the frozen mass of water, watching some bats flutter away to go out to dinner themselves.
"You could think of a way to not be marked." he commented.
"I actually do have an idea but, I'm not positive he'll fall for it. He might be suspicious."
"What is it?" I moved my position to where I was face to face with him, my arms wrapped around his neck.
"I'm not telling. It'd be a waste of time. I'll let you know if it works." I smirked.
"All of you Slytherins have the same smirk." he chuckled.
"What can we say? It's our trade mark." I smirked again.
I stared up at the tree we were sitting under and hid my smile. "Fred?" I stared up at him, fluttering my eyelashes. He smiled down at me.
"Yeah?"
"Fred, you do know that this is a mistle toe tree right; that only blooms in winter?"
"You believe I set this up?"He raised an eyebrow at me
"Oh I know you did. I can read minds remember?" I smiled and leaned up toward him. I closed my eyes as I felt our lips meet for a brief moment before I pulled away with a true, genuine smile.
"What was that for?"
"Beautiful scenery, gorgeous night, mistle toe tree, seems like the perfect scenario for a kiss I figured." I shrugged.
I got up from the roots and stood next to the tree, pointing at the mistle toe and smirking. I began to walk away when I was pushed against the bark of the tree.
"Kiss me Ellie."
I threw my arms around his neck, hanging on and pushing myself up against him as our lips locked with each others. I could imagine sparks flying around us; the heat grew between us as I felt his tongue graze my bottom lip for permission. I accepted his invitation and let him in. Our tongues wrestled with each other, slowly grazing each other as our moths moved in unison.
How long were we outside? We didn't know but soon it began to snow. We kissed passionately yet hot all at the same time. It was amazing how he turned out to be an awesome kisser. I pulled away from him breathless. I felt hot; the heat from our little snog session had kept us warm the whole time we were outside. We laughed as we ran inside, the wind whipping snow into our faces. We walked to the moving stairs where he had to go up and me down.
"Today was a good day." he said as I started my way down.
"Oh? Why is that?"
"Because I was with the most amazing girl ever." he commented with a grin.
"Really, who?"
"Oh, just some Slytherin brat." he waved it off as if it were nothing.
I snickered. "Well I spent my day with some Gryffindor jerk." I shrugged. We laughed as I went to go hug him one last time.
"Good night hun."
"Night babe."
That night, Cheryl and Danni did NOT leave me alone. They informed me on how Draco was scared of me now and how he felt bad for what he said but he didn't want to say anything to me, afraid that I might break his nose again or some other part of his body. Then, the subject of Fred came up…
"Where was he dragging you to?" Danni asked.
"Yeah, it was freezing outside." She shivered at the thought. Cheryl was one of those girls who needed heat and sun.
"Well, you guys know how I love winter and the snow. He always knew that. Ever since we first met, he always knew when winter came I'd spend all day outside, no matter how cold." I smiled.
"So that's it? You guys just walked around the grounds for an hour?" I had on a blank face but I answered honestly.
"No, we sat on a mistle toe tree and watched the stars in the sky and the bats searching for food in this cold weather. No biggie really." I shrugged like it was nothing. Caim was purring on my lap as I stroked him.
"I know what you two were doing." he said in a sing song voice.I rolled my eyes at my spy cat.
"Wait! Mistle toe tree?" Danni questioned with a thought for a moment. It finally hit her.
"Oh my gosh!! You two were making out in the cold weren't you!?" she gasped with a childish shriek. I cracked up laughing at her expression.
"DETAILS!! DETAILS!!" Cheryl bounced up and down on my bed; annoying Caim and making him leave the room. Cheryl grabbed Danni and my hands (unwillingly I might add) as she rotated us in a unison jump in a circle on my bed, being careful to not fall off.
"How was he? Was he good? Sloppy? WHAT!? I NEED TO KNOW!!" she hollered with impatience.
"Come on Cheryl, you didn't do this to Danni when she told me she made out with Theo in the library." I secretly acted innocent, seeing as how if I was going to get this treatment, so should Danni.
"ELISE!!" Danni screamed but laughed.
"NO! What? I'm getting to you next Danni, but you first Elise. Answer my question." My plan was flawed. I was getting dizzy and plopped back down on my bed, as did the two childish girls I call my friends.
"He was better than you'd expect. He was gentle, yet passionate, and rough. He's got everything I like." I smirked.
"Wow, Fred Weasley being able to score with a Slytherin." Cheryl snickered.
"Ok you next Danni. You're hiding things from me. I thought you and Theo broke up for awhile because I hadn't seen you two together."
So the rest of the night we talked about boys, especially Montague. Danni and I both noticed how Montague liked Cheryl but she flat out said that she wasn't that interested, even though he was handsome; black hair and hazel eyes that popped from underneath all that darkness. He was kind of emo looking, like a lot of people in Slytherin if you aren't somewhat surprised.
"Well, I'm going to go get warmed up and then I'm hitting the hay." I said as I reached for the door handle.
"What? Going to go snog your boyfriend again?" Danni made fun of me as I rolled my eyes.
"Night guys." I then walked downstairs and sat in front of the fire. Dotty appeared out of nowhere with a cup of hot chocolate, like always.
"I know miss loves hot chocolate in winter. Dotty thought she'd bring mistress some."
"Why thank you Dotty!" I hugged her and then the water works came on.
"Aw Dotty, don't cry. I just appreciate you. You're like my only family left." Dotty dried up her tears.
"Dotty must leave." she then disappeared, back to the kitchen I presumed. I knew she only cried because she was happy. I was the only one who treated her like a someone and not a thing to be abused.
"Hey chick." I heard someone plop onto the couch behind me. I turned around and smiled.
"Hey Montague, long time no talk huh?"
"What are you talking about? We always talk."
"Yeah but not how we used to when we were kids." I rolled my eyes as I sat next to him, plopping myself Indian style and drunk my hot chocolate.
"You're the only emo friend I have." I laughed as I nudged him.
"Yeah yeah whatever." he rolled his eyes.
"So what's up? Why are you up this late?"
"Can't sleep, you?"
"I'm cold." I sipped my drink.
"What's on your mind? I mean, I could just take a look inside but I prefer you tell me." I smiled.
"You know don't you?"
I nodded. "Yeah I just want to hear you say it." I snickered. He sighed wearily.
"It's Cheryl. I like her a lot but, I don't know what to say to her. I want to tell her how I feel but she's so uptight."
"Ha! Tell me about it. I know her better than anyone." I set my cup on the table in front of me and turned my position straight to him.
"Look, I'll help you out Montague because I've seen you try, harder than anyone else actually."
"Really? You'd do that?"
"Why not? Now listen up, Cheryl isn't cheap first of all. She's the snottiest brat I know especially when she's at home."
He nodded. "I've seen how she's acted at her house. Remember two Christmas' ago?" I nodded and dreaded thinking about that memory; it was the worst party EVER.
"Well, you know how she is in love with expensive jewelry. She hates diamonds but crystals are her best friends. She loves topaz and the colors purple and orange together."
"What this got to do about anything?"
"Hey, I'm giving you some ideas by giving you facts about her. Now, there's always been this one ring she's wanted but never got to have."
I reached down the left side of the couch and felt around for pieces of paper. "This is the original." I showed him the first picture of the ring. It was sterling silver with a topaz in the middle surrounded by crystals.
"But now look at this one. It's from the same people but, it's different. By the way, she's in love with Topaz if you haven't guessed." This one had a huge crystal with a topaz in the middle of it and surrounded by little topaz and crystals on the band.
Montague stared at me incredulously. "Wow, you think this would help?"
I sighed at him. "It will impress her but winning her over…You have to be an absolute gentleman, compliment her on the smallest things, like things she says she hates when she really doesn't. It'll make her feel better and you also have to act like you aren't interested in her. That's all the advice I can give." I said taking my cup in my hand again and taking a few drinks.
"Thanks Ellie, you're an amazing person. If this works, I'll be grateful forever."
I giggled. "No problem."
"I'm heading to bed. Night."
I waved goodbye to him and sat there by myself. I was staring out the window to my left, watching the snow dance around with the wind.
"Hey." I heard someone. I turned around to see Draco. I glared at him.
"Hi." I simply said as I stared at the fire and sipped my drink like a prim person. He knew to take caution when I did this. He knew for sure that I was going to be an absolute bitch.
"Ellie, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to say that. I didn't think before I spoke. I was just frustrated."
I huffed at him. "Of course you're sorry, or else you wouldn't be apologizing." I spit at him.
"I'm just stuck. I have to uphold my families honor. We're on the fence, as you would say, with the Dark Lord. You just sit back not giving a care about this anymore. It makes me frustrated that I can't do the same."
My face softened as I stared at him. "Draco, I know what you're going to go through. I've caught a glimpse of future plans that Voldemort has and it includes you. I can't tell you though. I'm sorry." I put a hand on his shoulder.
"And I accept your apology. As long as you don't sell me out, we're still friends." I smiled as I gave him a hug.
I stared at his face with a questionable look. "Huh."
"What?" he asked.
"You know Drake? I think I did you a favor by busting your nose. I think I straightened it out from when Granger punched you." I cracked up as I skipped up to my room.
I heard Draco sigh. I slept soundly that night. I helped out a friend, I forgave a friend, and I was happy with my best friends. The next day flew by fast. I was Miss Merry Sunshine all day, even when Umbridge insulted me by calling me a prissy little brat; I just smiled and thanked her for finally realizing that fact. My friends liked this person I was becoming but, I could tell I wouldn't be Miss Merry Sunshine forever; nothing lasts forever.
I had skipped dinner and left with Fred to his common room. I had told Dotty what to do for the Gryffindors and I was told that food mysteriously appeared in there not twenty minutes ago. When we were at the door I started to freak out.
"Fred, you go in first. I'm pretty sure that everyone is going to throw food at me." He laughed at my childishness.
"No they aren't. Most everyone in Gryffindor has seen me and you together somewhere around school."
"Great, now there's secret spies I don't even know about." I said sheepishly.
"Come on. It'll be fine. I thought you were a tough, cocky, Slytherin?" I stared at him with a serious face.
"If you want me to ruin the party I could do that."
So when we entered, I was immediately greeted by Hermione. "Hey Elise, thanks for helping with the food arrangements."
"Not a problem, my house elf works here now since we have no home. Plus, she'll do anything for me." I smiled. I got a few stares and glares from people as George and Angelina came and greeted me.
"Hey, great job with the food and drinks. Did you know your house elf brought us Fire Whiskey and Butter Beer?"
I laughed. "Well, she does that naturally. The parties I used to throw at my house would always have that."
"Well it's a great addition." Ron said out of nowhere, holding onto a Butterbeer mug.
"Hey Angelina, great game a few months back. I never got to say because Draco was fuming like a little kid."
"Yeah, too bad you aren't captain anymore; you could have kicked him off the team." George joked. I giggled when he said that because at one point, I considered doing just that.
The night went on with plenty of loud music. To my great skills, I did my muffliato spell so it would sound quiet as a mouse, even when you opened the door too. I made small talk with a few of the older Gryffindors I knew as well and got acquainted with them also. Fred and I danced for awhile until we were exhausted. We both sat in a corner in a loveseat.
"So, what's your plan for getting off the train tomorrow again?" he yelled over the loud music.
"I'm going to put on a disguise when I get on the train. Cheryl and Danni are covering for me but I have to leave really early the day after Christmas." I spoke to him telepathically.
He nodded as he hugged me. I cuddled up with him and we stayed like that for a long time until I heard a thought coming from outside the room.
"Hey, do you know your sister is snogging someone in that cranny we were in one time?" I told him as we got up to get some more drinks.
"No, really? Ah, well let the girl have some fun." he waved it off.
I laughed. "You're the big brother. Shouldn't you be more protective? Don't you know how many people she's dated this year?"
He shook his head. "And I don't want to know." he laughed.
All of a sudden, Ron and Harry burst into the room with Ginny and Dean Thomas. "Ginny! What the bloody hell were you doing?!"
"Oh stop it Ronald! I'm old enough to do what I please." she stormed off to her dormitory.
I snickered. "I told you babe." I gloated as I kissed him on the lips secretly. He held me as a slow song came on and we rotated in a small circle.
"I told my mum that you were coming. She's excited to meet you."
"Do you guys really trust me with your hideout?" I raised an eyebrow.
"I trust you, and I can tell when something is wrong with you."
"Yeah, you've known me for so long; you already can sense a problem with me." I rolled my eyes.
The slow song ended and the pumped up music came back on. The Gryffindors danced dirty. I saw Lavender Brown and Seamus Finnigan dancing together inappropriately but hey, who hasn't done that? I snickered to myself at the thought of how wild I used to be a few years ago.
"Fred, do you remember the first party we went to together? It was in the Ravenclaws dorm when my friend Melissa McGee used to come to this school?"
He stared down at me. "Yeah, back in third year, what about it?"
"Remember that contest Melissa announced that we girls were having?"
"That dirty dancing thing?" he grinned.
I cracked up. "You remember that don't you, you pervert." I smacked his arm.
"Why did you bring that up?" I pointed to Lavender Brown and Seamus. He yelled to them.
"Oi! Get a room you two." he yelled. He seemed to spook Lavender and she blushed as she walked away, Seamus following her.
The party died down now as the time extended. It was probably eleven now. All the other people who were invited from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw left a long time ago but, I was reluctant to leave. Dotty had appeared to check on the party.
"Dotty, you can start cleaning up. I think we're all done here. Thanks for helping supply the food."
"It's not a problem mistress. Dotty lives to serve mistress Elise." she snapped her fingers and the room was clean, the food was gone, and the trash was picked up.
There were still plenty of people dancing around with the boom box that Hermione had supplied. Fred grabbed my hand and led me up to the boys' dormitory.
"Gee Fred, looking for some privacy?" I laughed.
He came up and hugged me. "I just want some us time." he whispered into my ear, sending some chills down my spine.
I didn't waste any time. I knew what he was thinking, obviously. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist as he pushed my back against the wall. Fred caressed my face with his thumb as I rubbed my hands through his ginger hair. Our breathing became irregular as the heat got turned on. He held me up with one hand as he rubbed my leg with the other. I smiled into the kiss as I moved down his jaw line. I kissed him all the while down to the crook of his neck where I began to suck and nibble. He sighed as I brought my lips back up to his and kissed him passionately. I felt my back leave the wall and then lean against a headboard as Fred sat next to me and began nibbling on my neck. He hit a sensitive spot and I gasped as I felt a chill run through my body. I lay down on the bed as I brought him with me, still keeping my lips locked with his. The roughness turned to passion and then slowly to gentle mode. He parted with me and stared into my emerald eyes.
"Are you as hot as I am?"
"I don't know, you tell me." I smirked as I took in a deep breath.
"You could set the school on fire if you just keep walking how you do."
I raised an eyebrow at him. "What about my walking?"
"You sway your hips, it's attracting to every guy." he smirked. I kissed him on the lips again sweetly.
"I better go. It's late and I don't want to be caught by Filch." I groaned as I got up.
I fixed my hair and Fred fixed his as we walked out with grins. We got looks from the Potter Posse who were the only ones who were in there now.
"Bye guys, I got to go. Great party." I gave them all thumbs up.
"Hey, aren't you going to be caught?" Harry asked as I reached for the door.
"I hope not. The stairs are right down the hall so I should be able to sneak by." I shrugged.
"I could take you there without getting caught." Harry suggested.
"By using your invisibility cloak I presume." I snickered.
"Yeah, how'd you-"
"Footprints don't make themselves in the snow Harry, I've seen you in it before and that's the only thing that can make a person invisible." I crossed my arms in a smart-alecky manner. Fred laughed as did the others. Harry went up the stairs to get it and came back down.
"Ok, bye guys, see you all tomorrow afternoon." I pecked Fred on the lips before leaving.
George was being retarded and decided to interrupt us. "Oh hey, none of that in this common room." I hit him as Harry and I got under the cloak as we exited the Gryffindor tower.
When we were down near my common room, I got out. "Thanks Harry, that cloak is handy sometimes." I smiled.
"Uh, Elise?" I heard him call to me.
"Yeah?" There was a pause.
"Never mind, good night."
"Bye?" I then entered my common room.
It was quiet. No one was up as far as I could tell so I crept up to my dorm. I took a shower and jumped into bed, Caim jumping onto me.
"Having fun are we?"
"Yes as a matter of fact."
"Well good. You're going to need the pressure release before the real pressure comes onto you."
"Yeah, thanks for reminding me." I groaned as I rolled over and fell asleep.
The next day should be interesting since I would be playing spy agent. I could hardly wait.
