again, reviews please (with a cherry on top maybe? with draco malfoy on top?)
Chapter 8: O Crap
"Hey," Draco greeted her.
"Hi." It had been a while since her last date... it was a weird feeling.
"You look amazing."
"Sure. But thanks," she added, seeing he was aobut to retort. "So what have you planned for our expedition today?" she asked as they started to walk.
"Well, I figured I'd take you to all of Hogsmeade."
"Wow."
He chuckled. "I know.. don't worry about it. You'll see." She looked at him. He was well-dressed, in a green sweater with a black jacket and jeans. She laughed realizing that he was almost matching her.
"Didn't mean to." She stopped in her tracks. She shook the thought from her mind. He couldn't possibly- she turned to look at him again as they kept walking. He was looking at her too, making her blush. 'He keeps on making me do that.'
"Sorry." Alina stopped again.
"Can you-"
"Read your mind? Yeah, I'm sorry, I really shoudln't but... it's tempting."
"Great. And I suck at Occlumency." Alina sighed but was startled as he took her hand. She smiled.
'Merlin I love that smile.'
'Did I just hear that?'
'Did she just hear that?' Draco thought.
'O crap.'
'O crap.'
"Um.." Alina began.
"Uh... well. How did you just hear my thoughts?"
"I dont' know.. it was right after you took my hand..."
"Hold on a second." They both seemed to figure it out at the same second. He took her hand again and she put one hand on his forearm.
'How did this happen?'
'This is really, really weird Draco.'
'What is going on?'
'You tell me!'
'We'll have to see Dumbledore, as much as I loathe to say it.' She sighed.
'We do? Can we.. just go first?' He smiled, and held her hand tighter.
'Read my mind.'
'Literally.' she laughed. So they postponed their meeting with the Headmaster and went on their date.
"You can't be serious." Alina gave him a look. He didn't reply, just gave her a look back.
"You owe me." he simply stated.
'Stupid Slytherin.'
"Heard that," he called as she entered the dressing room. "Wow." She took a twirl as she stepped out.
"Pretty slutty, huh?" she smirked. She was wearing a sheer light blue and white baby doll dress with lace and ribbons, with an umpire waist, a red cape with a hood, and long knee high white boots, holding a basket. "It's sooo sketchy,"
"Come on, it's Halloween. Isn't it meant to be a holiday for sluts in America?"
"Well, I'm not a slut."
"Good point, but it's cute- for tonight at least."
"And what are we doing tonight?" she asked, suspicious.
"I'm taking you to a club."
"What?! We have to be back to Hogwarts by nine!"
"Which is why, Alina, we sneak out at one am and then go."
"Where?"
"London."
"Are you crazy?!"
"Usually yes, I am, but at this current moment, no, I'm not. We go to Hogsmeade, apparate to London, apparate back to Hogsmeade and go back to Hogwarts."
"I'm here on scholarship, Malfoy. I can't afford to break the rules."
"Hermione's doing patrols tonight. I've already informed her about our rendezvous and she freaked and started yelling until I told her I was taking you. Then she seemed to be greatly amused and said I had better get you back by 3:30 or else. And then she told me to tell you that if I did anything at all to harm you to tell her so she could hex me into oblivion. Otherwise, she's agreed to cover for us on the condition that i take over patrols for the next month. Now the only question that's left is do you trust me?"
Alina was silent. She couldn't really trust anyone. "I'll go."
"Alina-" he lifted her chin. 'Do you trust me?'
'I don't trust anyone.' He sighed.
'Alina-'
'I'm sorry, it's just that-'
'I know. David.'
'What-'
'Sorry. Kind of did it again.'
'Can't you stay out of my mind for one minute?!'
'It's hard to resist.'
'Well you better start. I need to learn occlumency.'
'I'll teach you.'
'Hell you'll teach me the wrong thing.'
'Maybe.'
'Jerk.'
'Beautiful.' She let his hand go and looked away from him.
"Do I have to wear this?" she asked, referring to the little Red Riding Hood costume.
"No- you can dress up in something else. As long as you dress up."
"What about you, Malfoy?"
"I go as myself. And it's Draco."
"That doesn't seem so fair."
"Too bad."
"Ugh. Malfoys."
"Why thank you."
