Around June

Draco and I have been officially dating for 6 months now and we couldn't be happier. Ever since our first kiss on Christmas day, we've been practically inseparable. People keep teasing us that we must be attached at the hip, for they never see one of us without the other one standing by. It hasn't been all peaches and cream. We still have our tiffs and Draco will never be completely comfortable with my friends (a.k.a. Harry), but still things couldn't be better.

"Ugg. Could you two get a room, please? I'm trying to eat here," Allie states while Taylor makes a gagging motion next to her.

Draco and I don't hear her because we're too focused on each other. Draco is sitting across from me at the table and I can't help but stare into those eyes. It doesn't help that we're playing footsies underneath the table, either. Draco raises his eyebrows at me in a seductive manner and I giggle.

"Guys? Hellloooo? Can anybody hear me in there?" Allie waves a hand in front of my eyes. Blinking I break my connection with Draco and turn to her.

"What? Oh sorry guys. What were you saying?"

"Oh nothing of importance. Just wanted to know if you're ready for the Potions exam tomorrow."

"Of course. Draco and I have been using all of our free time this week together studying." A couple of seconds later, everyone starts laughing.

"Hmmmhmmm…sure," Allie, Taylor and Blaise all laugh to themselves.

"What?"

"Oh come on, Rachel. You want us to believe that after 6 months of dating, all you and Draco do in your free time is 'study'?" Blaise declares.

"Well…. ummmm…you see…I'm still a …" I try to explain blushing.

"Yes you bloody well should believe it!" Draco interrupts. "Unlike some people around here, Rachel and I are trying to take it slow and learn about each other before taking it too far." Draco spits.

"Huh? You mean to tell me that all you and Rachel have ever done is snog? That doesn't sound like the Draco Malfoy I know." Blaise questions as Taylor nods her head.

"Not that it's any of your business, but maybe I found a person that I truly care about that could change me. Did you ever think of that? No. Of course not."

"Aww…. Little Drakie llloooovveeesss Rachie," Allie coos at him. Draco and I turn beet red as everyone starts laughing again. Draco's face then turns very stern.

"Come on Rachel. Let's get out of here. Wouldn't want to make your friends more jealous," Draco says as he grabs my hand and pulls me towards the door.

"Give her a big fat kiss for me," Blaise calls out. Draco flips him the bird as we walk out the door.

"I can't believe them. I swear they wouldn't say all that stuff if they weren't so jealous," Draco fumed. We walk in silence until we reach our special classroom.

"Are you okay?" Draco finally asks me as we settle in.

"I fine," I sigh. "It was very sweet what you did for me back there, but you know they're right. I know you, Draco. You're a guy. I'm sure you need more than what I'm giving you."

"You mean the snogging and groping?"

"Yeah…" I say blushing.

"Now come on. You know I'll only do what makes you feel comfortable. If you're not happy, then I'm not happy," he says pulling me closer.

"I know, I know. I'm just wondering how I got such a great guy like you who's willing to dull down their sex life for a girl," I say as I lay my head on his shoulder.

"Well it does take a pretty special girl, and Rachel…you are amazing. Oh don't get me wrong. I've been keeping my need down…I masturbate almost everyday."

"Draco…" I tease and smack him lightly on the shoulder.

Draco takes my hand and pulls me close to give me a kiss. As it begins to intensify, Draco backs me into a wall. I moan as Draco moves to kiss my neck.

Oh my. Draco is good at this. OH YES! He's found my sweet spot.

Draco chuckles and I open my eyes to find him staring at me.

"What?" I ask him curiously.

"Nothing…" he laughs again. "It's just for someone who hasn't done this a lot, you sure know what you're doing and how to turn a guy on."

"I guess it's one of my many talents. Now shut up and kiss me."

"With pleasure," he declares as he starts taking off his robes and comes to kiss me again.

I try to sneak back into the common room later that night, and I am almost up the stairs until I hear Allie call out to me.

"Now where do you think you're headed missy? Where have you been all night? 'Studying' with a certain Draco Malfoy?"

I shrug as I walk back down the stairs and sink down on the sofa next to her.

"Oh… so you're not talking, eh…"

I smile and blush, as I shake my head no.

'Oooo then it must be really good news. You know you're going to have to tell me now."

"Fine, but you have to promise to keep it a secret."

"I promise. Cross my heart and hope to die in a horrible hippogriff accident. So let me guess, you didn't just snog, did you?"

I blush once again as I shake my head no once again. "No…well I mean…we didn't have sex, but…Oh Merlin! I'm so pathetic I can't even say it out loud. Here…" I finally whisper what I need to tell her in her ear.

"WHAT! Rachel, I'm surprised at you!" she says in an over dramatic tone. "But now you have to tell me one thing, is it true what they say…big hands, big shoes…big penis?" she laughs.

I playfully hit her with a pillow as I yell, "ALLIE!" We giggle and start a pillow fight. 15 minutes and many feathers later, we collapse on the floor laughing. She turns to me and says, "Well…I'm waiting."

I turn my head as I blush.

"OH MY GOD! You are SOOO LUCKY! Where can I find a man like Draco?"

"I don't know, but I'm glad I have him. He's been great to me," I sigh.

"And you've been great for him," Allie states. "In more ways than one." I shake my head in agreement with a laugh.

We both get up to get ready for bed. As I climb into bed, I hear Allie whisper to her self, "I just hope he doesn't turn out to be like he is in the 6th book."

Oh crap! I totally forgot all about the books. SHIT! What am I supposed to do? Maybe, just maybe I'll be able to change him for good. Ehh, why should I worry about that now? I've still got two more years before that happens. I fall asleep to dreams of Draco.
