27

It was almost two am before Amanda climbed into bed tired and exhausted, after having a shower and putting on her pyjamas, which were blue and made out of cotton, the kind that keeps you cool not the snugly kind.

Only three hours later Amanda woke up to find someone thumping on her door, reluctantly she got out of bed and opened the door, surprise, surprise it was Hagrid.

"Why aren't ya dressed? We're supposed to be there in half an hour."

"I don't feel to well, can I stay in bed until we go back to Hogwarts?"

"It'll be a shame for you to miss out on them feeding, but if ya sick their ain't nothin' we can do 'bout it, you can stay in bed. Me and Malfoy'll be back in 'bout two hours."

"Okay, thank you Hagrid," Amanda closed the door and quickly sent Draco a message on her bracelet hopping he would have his on him.

Malfoy just got her message before he heard Hagrid thumping on his door, "Malfoy."

Malfoy got out of bed and put a dressing gown over himself as he was only wearing boxers (this time they were green in colour with a big serpent around the waist) and answered the door.

"Ya look really tired, do you feel okay?"

"I didn't get much sleep last night, 'cause I was so excited about seeing those dragons, it kept me wide awake all night, I'll just go get changed then."

"Nonsense ya need rest, I'll just go by myself and get the hotel owner to keep an eye on both of ya."

"Both of us, is Amanda sick as well," Draco asked sounding surprised at the news.

"Yeah I think 'Manda is comin' down with somethin', anyway I'll see ya lata'." Hagrid waved before leaving.

Once Hagrid was out of sight Draco crossed the corridor and knocked on the door before letting himself in. He found her in her bed asleep already, he took of his dressing gown and slid into her bed behind her, putting an arm around he waist. Amanda smiled to herself as she felt Draco climb into her bed; it was a comforting feeling, as it made her feel safe. Soon though they both were really asleep, only to be woken up two hours later.

Draco awoke to find himself in Amanda's room but Amanda was nowhere to be seen, even though she couldn't have gotten to far as all her stuff was already in her backpack ready to go. Draco picked up his dressing gown of the floor and put it on, before heading of to his room to find Amanda, he didn't even need to go that far to find her as she was in the corridor heading back to her own room.

"Good morning," she told him as she gave him a quick kiss, "here's your bag, do you think we should go wait out the front otherwise we'll have to sit in our own rooms and get bored."

"Out the front it is then," he told her as he reached into Amanda's room and grabbed the back and handed it to her, "now just let me put some clothes on."

The switched backpacks and Draco quickly ducked into his old room to get changed into a pair of rather bag jeans and a t-shirt. Amanda just waited outside his room as she was already dressed and had her bag packed. Once Draco had finished getting changed he came out into the corridor.

"Ready?" Amanda asked.

"Ready," Draco replied.

The walked down and waited outside the receptionist's office for Hagrid, who arrived shortly. They walked back to the gateway at the zoo and once again squeezed into the photo booth. Although this time instead of asking for tickets, Hagrid slid the old tickets into one of the holes and thanked the machine, before climbing out. The were back in the same car park where they arrived, Hagrid shortly found the cauldron in a corner. It seemed that nobody else was around, which Amanda found odd until, Hagrid told her, "there's a muggle repelling charm that's why there's nobody her 'cept us."

Once again Hagrid counted them down and they all touched the rusty old cauldron, which transported them back to the Hogwarts gates. Hagrid fumbled with his keys for a moment before finding the correct one, "found it." He put it into the keyhole and opened the gates letting everybody through before locking it behind himself.

"Hagrid, who did you have to get permission from so we could both go?"

Amanda's eyes widened, she hadn't though of that. Hagrid looked at the pair of them before responding,

"I'm sorry 'bout ya parents Amanda, but don't worry I won't tell anyone, ya can tell them when you're ready."

"I don't know if Harry would talk to me again if he knew Draco was my cousin!" Amanda lied through her teeth, that should kill all rumours about the being together. Draco even managed to keep a straight face as Amanda lied about them being related, which was good as it didn't let on that she was lying.

Amanda and Draco both became more relaxed about the fact that Hagrid knew Amanda was staying with the Malfoys and he wasn't going to tell anyone, as the followed Hagrid have to jog to keep up with his long strides.

Hagrid again pulled out his keys so he could unlock the huge doors that led o the Great Entrance Hall. He let them in before telling them,

"Now I you're both tired so I'm cancelling out class today, so you can both have some rest and relaxation, and Amanda if you still feel unwell ya go see Madam Pomfrey okay?"

"Yes Hagrid," Amanda responded before Hagrid left to go back to his hut.

"I'm starving lets go get some breakfast."

"You're always hungry!"

When they arrived at the Great Hall, Amanda and Draco kissed for a moment before they saw a little first year Hufflepuff girl looking at them. The little girl looked terrified as Malfoy looked at her and Amanda fiddled with her own lips, before touching Draco's shoulder, "leave her alone I'm sure she won't tell any one, will you?" She asked the little girl in a threatening voice, who nodded her head while looking more terrified then ever, as she turned around and ran in the opposite direction completely forgetting about breakfast. She had heard many stories and rumours about both the new sixth year and Draco Malfoy, who was infamous at Hogwarts, and she had only been here a week!

"Bitch I wanted to torment her!"

"That's why you love me!"

"Yeah but I like annoying first years, at least you can't do it when Potter and his friends are around," Draco sniggered.

"Do you reckon she'll tell someone?"

"Not a chance," Draco told her knowing full well that little girl was way to frighten to tell anyone, "anyway as we have a free instead of Care of Magical Creature and another free before break, do ya wanna catch up on sleep in my room?"

"Sounds like a good plan, see you then," she told him before she gave his another kiss and went into the Great Hall.
