Druella walked calmly along Thomas Puncey as he rambled on how awful horses were. She sighed impatiently as she watched a couple of students run into Honey Dukes. Why did she ever agree to go on a date with him? Oh, yes, because of Cygnus Black.

Thomas has requested her presence and she had every sense to decline but then Vivienne and Cygnus had rounded the corner. She felt herself saying yes and laughing obnoxiously loud before she could stop herself. She linked her arm with his and dragged him to the Great Hall where she proceeded to laugh and flirt like crazy. It was a relief Puncey was handsome.

She utterly disgusted with herself. And Thomas.

"They can't even fly!" he said, astounded. "Muggles are weird for keeping them!"

Druella nodded, looking outside the window. She saw a familiar shade of black. She threw her head back and laughed. "Wouldn't you like to see a horse then?"

Thomas shook his head. "Something muggles own? No!"

She smirked leaning forward as the bell chimed in the store. "Want to go check out a barn with me?"

Thomas gulped and couldn't get his head to nod quickly.

Cygnus looked over as they stood up. He nodded at Thomas but kept his eyes on Druella. She smirked back wrapping an arm around Thomas. "Lovely to see you Druella."

Thomas blurted out, "We're going to a barn! Alone!'

Druella cringed as Cygnus raised one eyebrow. "To see a horse."

Cygnus looked bewildered. "A horse?"

She nodded. "Well, we're off."

She dragged Thomas to a close barn and saw the horse. "Horse. Bland. Let's go."

"But I thought, I thought," Thomas sputtered pointing to a haystack near the horse.

She laughed. "A haystack? No, you thought wrong. Well, there's your horse. Goodbye."

Druella walked away heading towards the castle. She turned around angrily when someone touched her shoulder. "Didn't I tell you no haystack?"

Cygnus looked surprised. "Haystack?"

She blushed. "Nothing."

Cygnus laughed. "What would you do if I told you I wanted to see a barn?"

"There's a barn right there. I think Puncey would be delighted to show you the haystack."
