Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER

Author's Notes: Erm…enjoy?

My (Emily's) POV

I decided to keep what had happened last night to myself. I didn't feel like listening to Sam's nags and Emily's squeals. I mean nothing actually happened, right?

So now I'm actually falling asleep in Professor Binn's class. His voice is so….boring. It just slowly lulls you to sleep. I mean Hermione actually looks like a normal student, with her hand propping up her head, and her eyes blinking sharply every few times to stay awake.

I keep myself awake by doodling on a piece of spare parchment. Not very exciting, but neither is this class.

Oh, and did I mention that that guy Shane is in this class? How annoying! Marie is giggling every two seconds just looking at him.

It's sick.

I mean not that I don't do that when I look at Draco but…..

"He he he Shane, stop it! You're making me blush!"

He he he Shane, stop it! You're making me puke!

I groaned inwardly and pressed my quill harder on the parchment.

"Marie, guess what?"

"What? *giggle*"

Yes, Shane. WHAT?! WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY HAVE TO SAY?!

"You look so cute in those robes!"

"Oh, Shane! You're making me blush again!"

Jeez just shut it! God Marie NEVER acts this way around guys!

I was so glad when class was finally over, and everyone came out the door moaning lazily and scratching their sides.

"Er, Emily?"

I was waiting for Sam to come out of the class, since Marie had run off with Shane.

"Yeah?" I asked, expecting it to be Sam.

"Well…there's a trip to Hogsmeade coming up and I was wondering if you would like to go….with me? I mean not as a date or anything but…."

Puzzled, I turned around to see, not Sam, but Seamus.

"Seamus?" I exclaimed, blinking my eyes hard to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

Embarrassed, he nodded.

"So…will you? I can understand if you don't want to but…."

"No, I…that's fine. I mean yeah, okay. That's great, thanks." I smiled, hardly believing what was happening.

He walked away, I relieved blush on his face. Harry and Ron were waiting for him I guess, because he walked right over to them and they grinned.

I gave them a shy smile and walked off in the other direction, straight passed Malfoy.

I didn't even notice.

Malfoy's POV

Finnigan? FINNIGAN?!

How is she going to Hogsmeade with Finnigan?!

Why do I even care?

I feel like punching the shit out of him. Punching him till his face is permanently caved in.

My heart hurts, and I don't know why.

Help me. Don't help me.

Love me. Fuck off.

I'm devising a plan to humiliate Finnigan in front of her. I can't stand him now. That disgusting blush on his face.

But if I don't like Collins, why do I want to get him?

Because he's a Gryffindor, right?

Yeah. That's it.

My (Emily's) POV

I can't believe it! Seamus asked me out?!?! Oh my GOD!

No, he said it wasn't a date…

But 'Ahhh!!!!"

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Oh my God Seamus asked you out?!" Sam began screaming hysterically in my ear.

"YES! Well, kinda but whatever."

Marie came back into the hallway. She stopped, seeing Sam and I jumping around.

"What's going on?" she asked, looking at both of us like we were insane.

"Seamus asked me out!" I squealed, completely ignoring the people stopping to stare at me.

"OH MY GOD!" she screamed, jumping around.

"I know!" I yelled, jumping around with her.

We looked like Spongebob and Patrick on a sugar rush.

A while later I, Marie, Sam, Shane, Seamus and Dean were sitting around a table in the Great Hall. It was later in the day so we didn't have to worry about Shane leaving to the Ravenclaw table.

"So…" I mumbled, looking at the Daily Prophet (which I had recently found out that that was the newspaper. I still can't get over how the pictures move) in front of me.

"Have you got McGonagall next?" Shane asked to no one in particular.

"No. I have Flitwick." I answered uncomfortably.

"Oh…"

"I have Flitwick too." Marie chimed in.

We sat there for a few moments, the tension between all of us not going unnoticed.

I refused to look at Seamus. I was too nervous, and the fact that I could feel his eyes burning into my forehead didn't help.

"I have Mcgonagall." Sam said suddenly.

She sounded depressed.

"Um, Sam are you okay?" I asked, glancing at her.

She put on a fake smile. "Oh yeah never better!"

I frowned and hugged her so did Marie, "if you say so."

My hand was resting on my "Monster Book of Monsters" in front of me on the table (which has repeatedly been trying to maul my hand), and jerked suddenly when something brushed up against it.

"Sorry…" Seamus mumbled.

I looked up at his hand that was now inches from mine.

"I…I thought it was mine." He explained, staring at his fingernails.

"S'okay." I said, smiling.

Oh. My. God. Was that on purpose?

Groaning from boredom, I closed my eyes and flung my head back.

Could this day get anymore boring?! I'm falling asleep!

"Well I've got to head back to the common room. A lot of studying to do." Dean said, getting up from the table.

He grabbed his books and was gone with a swish of his cloak.

I glanced at everyone in the table, and stopped at Shane. His eyes looked familiar, like…like…black holes. They kind of sucked you in and hypnotized you….big black eyes that wouldn't allow you to look away.

No. Fucking. Way.

"Shane?" I asked excitedly, voice rising.

"Er, yeah?" he asked, looking at me with a puzzled expression.

"Who's your father?" I asked, clenching my fists in pure anticipation.

This was going to be the death of me.

"Well it's…um….prfsrsnpe." he mumbled, trailing off at the end.

What?

"Sorry, didn't catch that." I said, leaning in closer to hear it.

I had everyone at our table's attention now.

"P….Professor Snape…."" He repeated, looking embarrassed.

"NO. WAY!!!" I screamed, grabbing a fist full of hair.

Sam stared dumfounded at him, then after a few seconds started screaming herself hoarse. Everyone in the Great Hall was watching.

"I thought I told you guys." Marie looked at her hands.

"EEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!! EW HE'S YOUR FATHER?!" Sam yelled, eyes bulging out of her sockets.

Seamus's face turned pale, and he shook his head slowly.

"No way…" he mumbled, shaking his head more violently now.

"you definitely have your mother's nose!" Marie teased, probably remembering Snape's disgusting, greasy hooked excuse for a nose.

I snorted.

"Yeah. What happened?"

"Uh…." He stuttered shyly, staring wide-eyed at all of us.

"This is AMAZING!!!" I exclaimed, excited with this new information.

I was walking to Professor Flitwik's class with Marie, since Sam was stuck with McGonagall.

"Hey." Marie whispered, "isn't that Malfoy?"

I looked around frantically, hair sticking to my face.

"Oh God…" I whispered, noticing Malfoy standing outside Flitwik's door.

"Let's just remain calm, act normal and walk past him." Marie whispered back.

We giggled and got closer to the door.

"Where do you think you're going?"

I glared at Malfoy who was now blocking Flitwik's door.

"Up your butt." Marie spat, spraying spit all over the gray hallway.

Resisting a giggle, I turned my attention to Crabbe and Goyle, who were standing on either side of Malfoy, crossing their arms like some badass bodyguards.

They wish.

"Look who got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning!" Malfoy drawled, gray eyes glinting maliciously, "boys, let's say we give them a little lesson."

"Let's say you get your fat head out of my face." I challenged, somehow finding a newfound courage and standing up for myself.

I never would have done that back in America.

"Damn Americans." Malfoy spat, glaring at each of us, "they never know what's good for them."

Marie stepped forward.

"You better shut you mouth, Malfoy or—"

"Or what?" he sneered, smirking, "you beat us up? I don't think so. Or will you just send your vampire boyfriend after us?"

Crabbe and Goyle cracked their knuckles.

Rolling my eyes I grabbed Marie and shoved her past Malfoy.

"Get lost…" I mumbled as I walked past.

Marie stuck out her tongue and spattered in Malfoy's face, laughing hysterically as it dripped down his face.

2 weeks later…

Nothing amazing has happened. Life is boring, even here. I haven't even seen Malfoy for a whole week! They say that he's in the infirmary due to some weird chemical reaction in Potions.

I think he's faking.

But I went to see for myself anyway, and when I got there I made up an excuse to see some first year that I didn't even know.

She was staring at me the whole time.

Anyway, Draco was there, and he looked miserable. Like he was really sick.

"Oh, I'm sure his father is going to hear about this!" I breathed sarcastically, staring at a sleeping Draco.

"Who are you?!" the terrified first year asked, her big brown eyes widening.

Oh, right.

I forgot to tell her.

"Sorry, do you mind if I stay here? Please, I need to do….erm….some research." I lied, pleading with the girl.

Sighing, she nodded, glancing quickly at me.

Poor girl.

Anyway, I continued to stare at Draco, his blonde hair all in his face. He looked so peaceful.

What am I saying?

You know you like him!

Shut up!

Ha ha ha admit it!

Go away!

Oh God. He's awake now.

And looking at me.

Time to go!

Our posse (Me, Marie, Sam, Shane, Seamus and Dean) was walking down the hallway, when out of nowhere I just wiped out. I couldn't help it!

I'm a klutz.

Marie began cracking up, holding her sides as I sat on my but in the middle of a crowded hallway.

After a second I began laughing too, gathering my books that had managed to fly out of my hands and across the hallway.

"Jeez, Collins, walk much? I mean I heard Americans were dumb, but you take it to a whole new level you freaky little patriot."

I glanced up to see Draco staring down at me. He began laughing maniacally at what he just said.

I opened up my mouth to speak, but Shane did it for me.

"What did you say?" he asked, stepping forward, black eyes turning shiny in the sun.

Draco looked at him like he was something disgusting that had gotten lodged in his throat. But at the same time frightened because Shane stood at least three inches taller than him.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard what I said. Cut the crap and leave her alone." Shane demanded looking thoroughly pissed off.

Draco spit at Shane's feet.

In one swift moment, Shane grabbed Draco's robes and punched him in the face.

Draco screamed, holding his nose, maroon goop seeping through his fingers.

"Draco!" I yelled. I couldn't help it, it just slipped out.

"You just called him Draco!" Sam yelled, not believing her ears.

I ignored her and turned to Shane and Malfoy.

Shane's black hair was glowing with anger, his left eye brimming with delight at his punch his right eye as usual hidden behind a curtain of jet black straight hair.

Malfoy cursed and began to hurry away, blood dripping on the floor.

I watched as his forest green and black robes swished down the corridor and out of sight.

"Dude…" I whispered to no one in particular.

I slowly rose to my feet, shaking.

Shane smirked and walked over to me.

"You okay?"

I nodded and turned around to face Seamus and Dean.

Both were laughing hysterically, pointing in Malfoy's direction and imitating the punch.

"Oh my God that was amazing!" Marie exclaimed happily, hugging Shane.

He blushed and cleared his throat nervously.

"Well I'm…I'm going back to the common room…." I muttered, taking off to the seventh floor.

Later that night….really later that night…

All three of us were in the common room, unable to sleep.

"I think I'm overtired." I yawned, draping myself over the blood colored couch.

It was cushiony, and a practically sank into it.

"Well, all I know is that I can't sleep." Sam muttered, sitting into the same blood colored chair to my left.

The fireplace was going, and I watched its bright orange and red flames spark and feared that it might somehow come out of the fireplace….

"Hey, I have an idea." Marie said suddenly, pacing back and forth around the common room.

"What?" I asked, yawning again.

"How about we go down to the Study Hall?"

"And do what?" Sam asked, staring out the window.

It was raining…

"And…I don't know! Talk or whatever. Listen to music." She answered, sitting on the armrest of Sam's chair.

"Okay…." I answered, actually up for the idea, "But what if we get caught?"

"It's okay. I'm tight with the security guard, Snape."

I rolled my eyes and stood up.

"Wait, where are we going?" Sam asked, looking confused.

"Have you not been listening for the past five minutes?" I asked, pulling her up from the chair.

"No…"

"Just come on."

"Wait, bring your stereo." Marie said, making me run upstairs to the dormitories to get it.

Once I was back downstairs, we tried to make our way down to the Study Hall without making any noise.

Like that was possible.

But we had to dodge the prefects roaming around, and since they were to scared to do it, I always had to run for the door, make a distraction, and help Sam and Marie across.

Eventually got there, giggling and shoving to get into the Study Hall first.

"Well, I'll go in last." I said, not risking getting caught by going in first.

"Baby…" Sam muttered.

"Well I don't see you going in!" I retorted, punching her arm.

"I'll go!" Marie yelled, shoving the door open.

It creaked and we walked in, everything pitched black. Sam and Marie started whisper screaming into the dark.

"Shush!" I warned, trying to remember what spell to use to light this up.

"Oh my God Harry taught me this one!" Sam squealed, waving her wand and lighting the whole place up.

"Since when were you having secret meetings with Harry?" Marie teased, walking over to one of the tables.

"I wasn't!" Sam objected, crossing her arms, "I just asked him to help me with some stuff!"

"Sure." I replied sarcastically, rolling my eyes and grinning.

I walked over to the table in my bare feet, set the stereo down and sat down. My arm was sore from carrying the stereo all this way.

They wouldn't hold it.

They sat down too, picking their feet up from the stone floor.

"So…" Sam said awkwardly.

I laughed and rubbed my arm.

"What's this thing with you and Seamus?" Marie asked.

"Nothing! It's just that he asked me to go to Hogsmeade with him. That's all." I answered, looking at my feet.

"Sure." Sam replied sarcastically, mimicking what I had said to her before about Harry.

"Let's listen to your Ipod…" Marie said, plugging my Ipod into the stereo.

She turned to choose a song.

"Let's listen to….this!" she exclaimed, turning the volume up to the 'I'm about to go deaf level'.

The song, DotA by: Basshunter, was a fast paced techno song that made you want to jump around and dance like crazy.

We looked at each other, screamed, and began dancing on the table.

We began flailing our arms and going crazy as the techno beat filled our eardrums.

Screaming, we jumped, spun and twisted from one end of the table to the other.

Marie started singing the Swedish song and going completely insane at the other end, and I started laughing insanely. I rand over to her, and we all began jumping up and down together.

But then a saw something that made my heart stop.

Snape, in all his greasy glory, stood behind Marie, who was still spazing out and flailing her arms to the music.

Both me and Sam stopped and looked at other, jaws dropped.

"What's the matter?" Marie yelled above the music, unable to stop dancing.

We were about to speak, when Snape cleared his throat. Even above the loud music, we still heard him.

Marie's face went blank, and she slowly turned around. Suddenly she began to burst out laughing, holding her sides and rolling around on the table.

We joined in, and stopped just in time to see Snape actually SMILE at us.

We all stopped laughing and stared, dumbfounded, at Snape smiling.

He turned on his heel, and with a swish of his black cloak, was gone.

Instantly we all looked at each other and began cracking up all over again.

"I-I c-can't b-breath!" I screamed, gasping for air.

"That was hilarious!" Sam screamed, on her knees laughing.

Marie was laughing so hard that she wasn't able to speak, and only this weird hiccupping sound was coming out.

We began walking back, still giggling about Snape.

"Can you imagine if he started dancing with us?" I whispered, giggling.

They started cracking up, and I stumbled behind.

"Or like singing and ripped off his capes and under it was like a spandex leotard dance thingy?" Marie giggled.

We grimaced at the thought.

"Oh my God it's Harry!" Sam suddenly squealed.

"And Shane!" Marie exclaimed, squeezing Sam's arm,"ohmigosh he's so gorgeous!"

They bolted ahead, leaving me behind.

"Thanks, guys." I mumbled sarcastically, now alone.

I began walking a different way, the way that Malfoy had tried to make me get lost it a few weeks ago.

I sighed and got chills down my spine thinking about the darkness.

I wish they had stayed…

Suddenly I heard someone talking. I yelped and did a 360, seeing no one.

"W-who's there?" I asked nervously, holding my wand.

I heard it again, but listened closely. They were singing!

I followed it to an empty classroom door, and pressed my ear up against it.

And I was woken by the thought in my head
"Time to see the world
And get up out of this bed."
With feet to walk with and a little time to kill
I grab my guitar so I can go and chill
At Box Hill, Cardish, I will, won't stop till I fall asleep
I'll take my time and relax in the sun
Because I heard time flies when you're havin' fun.

Is it just me or does this voice sound familiar?

And I've no idea where that day gone when
Yet I know that it's time well spent
And I've no idea where that day gone when
Yet I know that it's time well spent
Yeah...

Whoever was singing was strumming away on their guitar, belting it out. They weren't half bad. I pressed my whole body so I was flush with the door, straining to hear better.

And I remember sharing lips with her
The coming weeks were to be a blur
'Cause time with her is like no other
She can make a winter's day feel like the summer
And it's oh so nice to have her alone
'Cause you know I made her leave her mobile phone at home
The clocks ticking but I don't mind
Because there's no one else I'd rather share my time

And I've no idea where those weeks gone when
Yet I know that it's time well spent
And I've no idea where those weeks gone when
Yet I know that it's time well spent
So I'll sing…
Mmm.

It's official. I'm now in love with whoever's singing. He's amazing! I love it!

Reminded of the time in 1999
From
I started a brand new school
Behaved, I'd be lying
'cause you'll be finding me 'round the back of that sport school
Takin' teachers through the bends with a little set of friends
Yeah, we're about as focused as a broken camera lens

My first fight, my first fall for a girl.
You know, I wouldn't swap those two years for the world.

I had pressed myself to the door so hard that it swung open, and I stumbled into the room. It was lit up, with a boy with white-blonde hair sitting on a stool, playing his guitar and singing. His eyes were closed, and he was smiling.

Malfoy?!

I was too stunned to say anything, let alone move. He hadn't noticed me yet.

And I've no idea where those years gone when
Yet I know that it's time well spent
And I've no idea where those years gone when
Yet I know that it's time well spent
So I sing…
Mmm.

He looked so…amazingly adorable playing his guitar and singing. I couldn't believe it when he stopped and opened his eyes, his face contorting into that of the utmost horror.

He quickly stood up, glaring at me.

"What are you doing here?!"

He sounded more pissed off than I had ever heard him.

"I…I…" I stuttered, staring wide-eyed at him.

The song was replaying again in my head.

His face was contorted in rage and he looked embarrassed.

If that was possible.

I could swear, though, that I saw a slight blush on his pale cheeks.

Malfoy's POV

I was thoroughly shocked when Emily was standing there when I had stopped singing.

I was mad, but somewhat pleased.

That song had come from the heart, and she had heard it all.

God.

Anyway now she's just standing there, looking embarrassed and scared. Her long, wavy brown hair is in a low ponytail, and some strands of hair had fallen out and into her face.

Maybe I had overreacted…..

My (Emily's) POV

I stood there awkwardly, staring at the ground instead of him.

"I…I really liked your singing, you know." I whispered, glancing up at him.

To my surprise, he stood there in his black t-shirt and pajama pants, and smiled.

Yes, smiled.

"Thanks. I really liked the way it turned out." He said, his eyes shifting from me to the door.

I couldn't believe this.

AHHH!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!! I LOVE HIM HE'S AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

"Well, I better get going." I said sadly, smiling weakly at him.

"Me too." He responded, picking up his guitar and turning out the light.

What….just happened?

It took my eyes a while to adjust to the darkness, but when I finally did, I groped my way over to the door.

I gasped as I bumped into something which was Draco.

"Um...sorry." I said awkwardly as I looked at what I could make out was him in the darkness and I saw it, his deep gray eyes that restrained me from moving an inch from my spot.

He didn't say anything; he just kept on looking into my fawns brown eyes. That's all he had to do to seduce me.

It was quiet and we just stared for what seemed like forever but neither of us seemed to notice.

Then suddenly my cell phone rang with the song Barbie Girl. DAMN IT MARIE!! Always messing around with my phone and setting my ring tones to the most embarrassing songs. I squeezed my eyes shut as I glanced at the caller ID, Marie's cell.

Perfect timing.

Probably to make sure I wasn't abducted by those trolls Crabbe and Goyle.

Draco just smiled and put his knuckle extremely gently under my chin so I was looking at him. He looked into my eyes and his seemed like they were twinkling in the darkness; he just leaned his head down and softly placed his lips on my cheek.

It was like prom, getting married and being crowned miss America all at once, absolutely amazing. Words couldn't describe my emotions that spun through me for the whole three seconds that my burning cheek had his lips met.

He looked dreamily into my eyes once more before he left for his dorm and simply said:

"Goodnight Emily, until tomorrow."

Until tomorrow

Author's Notes: Hey thanks for reading I really liked this chapter cause I had Marie (Fang1108). ;D Thanks!
