Harry and Ron sat watching the two fly about in the air, Hermione had already fallen asleep against Harry's shoulder and it didn't seem as if the two would be coming down anytime soon.
"I hate 'em!"
Harry rolled his eyes, "Hermione's right though, you've only known her a day, a little less than, actually. The only one who can tell her what to do is the teachers, her dad and herself..."
"Draco isn't going to hurt her," Blaise said from where he lay on the ground, staring up at his best friend as the two flew higher and faster.
"But...it doesn't change the fact that I don't like him."
Diving down, the two zoomed past them and up higher as Kagome tried to catch Draco who was proving to be extremely talented in the art of dodging.
"Kagome, Malfoy, its cold!" Harry called out, accidently waking Hermione up.
Draco landed a couple minutes later with Harry's Nimbus 2000, Kagome landing on Draco's Nimbus 2001. Kagome laughed out and ran up to Hermione, pulling the tired girl to her feet, she watched Draco hand back Harry's broom before she held out his.
Draco took the broom and watched as she made to remove the tie from her neck, only, he placed his hand over hers, stopping her before she could. "Keep it, looks better on you anyways."
Kagome laughed, "Yes, and you look like a model Gryffindor!" Not thinking much on how the others would take it, Kagome wrapped her arms around Draco and the platinum blonde stood frozen in the chilled night air.
Ron's eyes widened equally the size of Draco's, and Blaise, who was closest, placed a hand on the red head's shoulder.
"This is Draco Malfoy," She smiled, pulling away from the flushed Slytherin as Hermione took her by the hand and pulled her inside.
Draco stayed standing still only to have Blaise practically drag the dazed and confused boy back to the Slytherin dorm. They were quickly assaulted by Pansy and Draco's two bodyguard lackeys.
"Draco, where were you?"
Draco sneered at the three, "Why does it matter where I've been! Get off!" He pushed Pansy off of his arm and stalked off to the seat he always took in the Slytherin common room. Crabbe and Goyle stepped before him and sat down on the couch. Then, of course, Pansy tried to sit beside Draco, but Blaise beat her to it.
Glaring at the Italian, she let herself sit on the chair across from the couch that Goyle and Crabbe shared. "Do you know, Draco?" She asked, so curious was she, little care she had to whether he'd get angry or not. "The heir of Slytherin, do you know who it is?"
Draco thought about it for a few minutes, but shook his head negatively, "Not a clue,"
Blaise, needless to say, was relived that his friend didn't know, "I say, the less we know, the better."
"Couldn't agree more."
"Surely you must know something!"
"...I'll write my dad and ask, but no guarantees."
The small crowd of friends, Blaise aside, nodded before retreating to their beds. Blaise looked to Draco, "Have fun tonight?" He asked; unaware of the lingering Pansy Parkinson, her ears listening carefully to the conversation at hand.
She leaned against the wall; her shadow crawled cautiously along the cold stone, keeping out of sight of those present. She had seen the tie around his neck, and for whatever reason he wore it, she would find out.
"Fun is an understatement."
Blaise smiled, but frowned only a few moments later, "Have you ever read the Muggle book, Romeo and Juliet?"
Draco shook his head negatively, "Father would never allow a Muggle book into the house, or my hands, for that matter."
"Well, I'll save you the torment of your father and just tell you what it's about."
Pansy leaned in a bit, unaware of the blue eyes watching her in wonder from atop the staircase.
"Basically, two house's, Montague and Capulet, have been feuding since forever. When Romeo, the prince of Montague, sneaks into a coming of age party intended for the princess, Juliet Capulet, the children of the two feuding houses catch the eyes of one another, and at first glance, fall in love with one another. Juliet, upon finding out who it is she sees at her party, becomes at war with her heart and her mind. Romeo declares that he'd cast his name away to spend his life with her. The two marry without informing their families but it isn't as simple as that, neither would be able to be together unless no one were to look for them. Well, Juliet comes up with a clever plan with the help of the Friar, and in pretend, takes her life. A type of liquid used to stop the heart, cease the breathing and cause a chill to take refuge upon the body of the drinker. She would then awaken at a later hour. Sadly however, Romeo, who had not been told of her plan, found her cold body upon a bed of silks within the church; in such sorrow, he took his life with poison procured by that of a medicine man, and lain one last kiss upon his Lady Juliet's lips. She awoke untimely to see him over taken by death, and taking hold of his sheathed dagger, took her own life to lie dead beside her love; a beautiful love story, with a sad and tragic ending."
Draco looked sick by the end of the heartrending tale, "You aren't telling me I'm going to die...are you?"
Blaise laughed, "No, I'm telling you to be careful. I doubt that the golden trio will cause you trouble, because, if tonight was anything to go by, they don't mind Slytherin's as previously assumed."
Draco scoffed, "They don't mind, so long as no one is being hurt or bothered."
"Exactly, so...when Little Lucius rears its head up over your shoulder, flick it off and go with Little Narcissa." Blaise laughed out.
"Funny, are you assuming my mother is an Angel?"
"Not in any lifetime would I assume that, but between your father and your mother, she is the closest thing to angelic. You however, my widdle Draco, are a cute and cuddly cherub!"
"Oh shut it!" Draco blushed irritably as he stood up and made way for the stairs.
"Oi,"
Draco paused and turned back to Blaise, "Kagome, do you really like her?"
"...Yeah, but she just wants to be friends..."
Pansy's eyes hardened at the name before she turned and took off up the steps, pausing at the sight of an unfamiliar boy sitting at the top of the steps with a book in hand, paying no mind to her as she stepped past him and turned down the girls' hall. She shut the door just as Draco and Blaise made their way up the steps.
"Ahem," The boy with blue eyes looked up at Draco and Blaise with a smile, "Don't mean to interrupt you, but I thought you may want to know...the young chit that always follows you about..."
Draco frowned, "Pansy?"
The boy with blue eyes shrugged, some honey brown hair falling into his face, which he brushed aside gracefully.
Blaise grinned, "Black hair in a short bob, kind of piggish in the face?"
Blue eyes smiled and nodded, "Yes, a perfect description indeed! Well, she was lingering about to hear your entire Romeo and Juliet reference, which, if I may be so bold, fits Draco and the cute Asian Gryffindor; I hope that they don't come to such a catastrophic ending...I don't know her personally, but from what I could see, she seems to mean no ill will towards any one person...if anyone at all." Standing, the boy stretched, "I'd keep a close watch on your piggish friend, she didn't seem too pleased by the mention of your little Kagome."
Draco and Blaise watched the boy walk off towards the boy's dormitory; Blaise curiously called out, "What's your name?"
"Honey...Honey Bailey, but please, just call me Honey."
Blaise felt a headache form as Draco called out 'thanks' to the boy before leaning on the stair rail. "...so─"
"Hush."
Draco closed his mouth and smiled.
"Don't..."
"Wasn't going to say anything..."
"You were thinking something though."
Finally, Draco laughed out a little, "I'm just so used to you getting things like that from girls, 'Oh, hehe...you can call me anything you want to Blaisy! Sweetie, Honey, Sugar, Baby, Oh my Merlin! Blaise called me Baby! Eeee~'." Draco mimicked in a high pitched and girly voice.
"Hush!"
Draco pouted as he draped his arm playfully around Blaise's. "...Blaisy-Baby?"
Blaise sighed, there was a big reason why he and Draco never discussed their tryst's with the opposite sex, and that was because both were legendary for teasing the other...like such.
Blaise pulled Draco up the steps and opened the door; everyone was already in bed and asleep, even Honey.

Kagome smiled peacefully as she entered the room through the charmed picture with her youngest of Uncle's, and his two best friends, Hermione and Harry.
"Kagome, if you don't mind me asking..." Hermione stopped the girl halfway through the common room, which, was now devoid of any students aside from them. "Well..."
Kagome frowned, "What is it?"
Harry stepped up beside and uncertain Hermione and smiled, "I think what Hermione wants to know, is, how did you and Malfoy get to be such good chaps?"
"...I guess...I just didn't like the idea of not being his friend. He was so interesting and pleasant on the train ride here...why wouldn't I want to be his friend. Draco isn't that rude and ignorant boy you all know, and I'm sure with some time, you will also come to realize, that behind his façade, there is much more than meets the eye..." Walking up the steps to the girls dormitory, she stopped and turned back to the three who were no longer looking at her; a stray thought of curiosity had her wondering why it was, these particular Gryffindor's were so untrusting of that one Slytherin, but she refused to meddle with their affairs, it was their past, not hers, and Draco was her friend. All she could do was trust him...even if no one else would. Turning, she opened the door and headed straight to bed.
Her pursuit of her bed was put to an end when she saw Ginny sitting up on her bed. She was staring at the same diary she'd fallen asleep on the other day. "Ginny?"
"..." She didn't glance up or show any sign of hearing Kagome.
Kagome walked up to her and placed her hand in front of her Aunt's eyes, but to no extent did she jump or look up in surprise or acknowledgment. She stared at the girls eyes which were glazed over a bit, and cautiously, she placed her hand on the book before her. Ginny jolted to and grasped the book tightly. "You're back," Kagome smiled, "Do you think I could see this?" She asked, motioning towards the book.
"N-no! No..."
Kagome looked at Ginny for a few moments, then, her eyes caught sight of something on the sleeve of the girls' robe that she had yet to change out of. Tossing the book that Snape had let her borrow onto her bed; she snatched the girls sleeve into her hand and stared in horror at it. "Ginny!" Her voice now a fierce whisper; Ginny was on the verge of crying when both heard the steps of Hermione heading their way. Kagome pulled her Aunt to her feet and darted to the door just in time to hide behind it as it opened. Hermione walked on in as she let the door shut naturally with a slight push, but Kagome caught it just before it shut and pulled Ginny out with her as she shut the door behind her.
Ginny was still clutching the book tightly to her chest, tears running down her cheeks as she was pulled down the steps and out the door of the Gryffindor Common Room. Ginny hadn't the foggiest idea where her niece was pulling her, but followed none the less. A draft hit her as a door was pushed open and both girls were forced to catch their breaths as Kagome finally stopped pulling them. Ginny glanced around and practically groaned at the realization of where they were hit her. "Potions!"
"Shh~!" Kagome pulled her into the room and shut the door quietly behind her. "Professor Snape ought to be in bed by now, it's well past three, and no one is up, aside for you, me, and the dead. So...speak! Because you are not leaving this room until I know what the bloody hell is going on!"
Ginny fell weakly to her knees, her face paler than usual. "I-it's nothing..."
"Ginny..."
"I said it's nothing!" Ginny shot past Kagome and ran out of the Potions room before she could catch her. Kagome cursed aloud and kicked the nearest thing to her.
"Miss...Higurashi, I do hope you have a good excuse for being out of your dorm at such an...ungodly hour. As well, I'll assume you've come up with some sort of narrative tale for why you are de-legging my chairs."
"..." Kagome turned to face the door that Ginny had only moments ago ran through, and somehow had managed to evade the Potion's Professor standing before her. "Sleep walking?"
He glanced at the broken chair lying uselessly on the floor, "Try...again."
"Sleep kicking?" She smiled, or tried to.
"...Miss. Higurashi─"
"Sir, could you just give me detention and not ask me why? I don't have the stamina or brain power to possibly explain this in one night. I don't even know what's going on! Everyone is all, I shouldn't be around Draco, and then the kitty in the Forbidden Forest left me at the boarder, and flying on the nimbus, twists and turns...EVERYTHING IS JUST SO JUMBLED!" She cried out dramatically.
Snape watched her for a moment, then turned to leave, "Detention...all next week...and the week after...and the week after that...and so on, until you decide to tell me the truth to why Miss. Weasley took off down the hall in tears and why you are avoiding the matter."
Kagome looked at the ground in thought before smiling and looking her Professor in the eyes, "Best book me for the rest of the year, Professor!" She skipped past him and back up to her dorm.
Snape leaned back against the wall and grimaced at the headache that had formed over her last words to him before departing his classroom. Pounding beneath his eyes and causing him nothing but aggravation as he headed to his potions cabinet to conjure up a palliative for the thumping going on in his head.
'What in Merlin's name did I do to deserve this!'
-x-x-x-
Me: SO, I'M DONE! With this chapter at least...the next one, Kagome get's a reply from her dad and...might decide to do something...only telling one person of her plan, and requesting them to go along with it...keep in mind, that it is now November 1st. Seeing that Filch's cat is attacked on October 31st. Send your love in REVIEWS~!
