Draco Malfoy awoke himself on Monday, excellent. Draco had been up until 2am recovering from the beauty that was the new Gryffindor, Sienna, by working his moves on Pansy before a full frontal snogging.
Now he lay with his eyes open, staring blankly at the ceiling at only 5am. He felt unable to go back to sleep and sat up, he looked into the mirror behind his bed to see his lips were now bright red against the pale flesh.
"Fuck." He whispered loudly enough that Crabbe twitched in the bed across the room. He rubbed both of his eyes, Pansy now had something else to brag about. He wouldn't let her have power over him.
He changed quickly into his Hogwarts robes and made his way quietly down the staircase and into the Slytherin common room. He looked around and saw that nobody else was awake just yet and left the green room, into the stone hall.
He walked quickly and quietly out into the open path around the courtyard, sitting down on a bench he looked at the dew on the perfect green grass and listened to the wind whistling in the few trees.
Draco finally began to relax, but soon heard footsteps on the stone that led around the corner. He stood up quickly and waited to discover who it was.
Sienna moved slowly down the path and smiled at Draco and opened her mouth to say something. He regretted the rude expression he wore casually on his face, because she shut her mouth and continued on past him.
No, wait... He thought of the numerous things he could say, "Hey." He chose.
Sienna smiled to herself and turned around, "Draco!" She said as if they had once been friends, he supposed they had as soon as she took him into a tight hug.
Blood traitor... Gryffindor, ew. He went to wrench her off of himself and placed his hands at her hips, push, Draco. He didn't listen to himself and arched his back into the hug to make it tighter.
She pulled away first, and saw the astounded look on his face, placing a hand to her forehead she apologized, "Sorry, you probably don't remember me." She said rather stupidly, "We were 4, I made you put on the bridal veil and locked you inside my dress-up trunk." Sienna laughed to herself.
Draco thought for a moment, her perfume, she still smelt like coconuts. The bitch, she used to wear pretty pink ribbons in her neat ponytails. She often used tiaras as headbands. She kissed Draco, then said if he let her dress him up or do his make-up she'd kiss him again. Every single time, he got locked inside something until she went and lied to Lucius Malfoy saying Draco had gone missing again. Lucius would hear him hitting the side of whatever he was trapped in, let him out then told him to stop shutting himself in small areas in a rude manner. He went home every week and swore he wouldn't talk to her ever again, but every week she batted her long eyelashes and he'd be wearing red lipstick again.
He felt like an idiot, standing in front of his only childhood friend. A friend, if he could even call her that. Draco had turned into a proud 15 year old, who had no shame. But standing in front of him was the most gorgeous girl he'd ever seen, who knew every one of Draco's shames.
"Sienna." He nodded and walked past her, hoping his always snow-white cheeks hadn't gotten slightly brighter.
"Ok," she said, her voice wasn't annoying like it used to be, it wasn't high pitched, it was perfect... she was perfect. "I'm sorry, I was a little brat."
"Yeah, you were." He agreed, spinning on he's heels to face her again, "What happened to you anyway?"
She sat down, and eyed the spot next to her, he didn't move an inch. She batted her long eyelashes around her wide brown eyes, shit. he thought as he practically fell beside her.
"Skipping the part where I told my mother that I found a better friend than you and I never wanted to see-"
"A better friend than me? Did he like it when you locked him in dark places?" Draco was rather insulted.
Sienna turned on the bench so she was facing him, "She was a muggle."
"Hm." Was all Draco replied. Why was he sitting here and listening to this blood traitor.
"So my parents didn't let me have any friends. They were ashamed." She went on keeping her face emotionless, if anything... happy, "Last year I started dating a muggle born... they didn't know but my cousin, Alicia Dolohov, told my uncle... so my parents found out pretty quickly."
"I've always liked Alicia." Draco commented.
"Oh, so, you remember Alicia?" Sienna said, ignoring the fact that Alicia had stayed in contact with Draco longer than she had, "And why is it you like her?" She said, now angry standing up.
"Well, she helped with knocking some sense into you. But I guess you made friends with that mud-blood Hermione Granger pretty quickly, didn't you?" Draco said, his usual arrogant self again.
Sienna gasped and stomped once on his toes before striding back down the hall in the direction she came.
"What the fuck." Draco said once, before heading back himself.
-x-xx-x-
Even with Draco's early wake-up he managed to be late for potions class.
Snape's head snapped up from the paper he was looking at, along with the whole classes, "Draco Malfoy, you are late... again." He said in his slow voice.
"Right." He nodded then took one look over the classroom. His regular spot between Blaise and Goyle was still vacant.
Ignoring the stares from the rest of the class, he sat between them and opened his potions book to a random page. He looked up to check if anyone was still looking, no. But he did spot a messy brunette ponytail, the same texture it had been that morning, but now pulled back in a pink ribbon.
He ignored her for most of the lesson, but her not-so-annoying laugh soon became very annoying, due to the lame jokes Ronald Weasley kept sharing with her. When the class was loud enough he tapped her shoulder.
"Yes?" She almost snarled, turning in her seat.
"Um," Draco thought, "Do you have a quill I could... borrow?"
Ron snorted beside her, "What's that, Malfoy?" he pointed to the feather in front of him.
"You wouldn't know, Weasley." Draco said, his top lip curling, "With all your cheap muggle pens, I wouldn't expect you to."
"You really are an arse, Draco." Sienna spat out quickly.
"What of it?" He asked as she turned back around.
He dismissed the comments Sienna and Ron were throwing at each other about him and tried to carry on with taking notes on what Bellatrix and his mother had already taught him about.
Almost an hour later, a bunch of other students hurried past the door and Snape stood at his desk, "Dismissed."
Hermione and Harry Potter stood outside the potions classroom waiting for Ron and Sienna, but Draco had to stop her.
"Sienna..." He said quietly, changing his mind and hoping she didn't hear.
"Draco?" She asked also quietly.
Draco thought what he's next move would be, "Can we talk?"
She considered this, "Meet me near the courtyard again."
He nodded and watched her walk off with the trio, blood traitor, he thought for the thousandth time that day.
Why did he want to talk to her?
