//RileyPoole'sLittleWhiskeyGirl I was just kidding on my draft, I decided to do something different, but the ending-part will come in, sometime in the near future. I also modified the technique you taught me, it worked. Who0t!//

"Kari?"

"Yes Draco?"

"Um, make any new friends?"

"Not yet. You?"

"Nope, but that's okay, that means I have more attention to focus on you, Kari."

"Thanks," I murmured, returning to the letter I was writing to my mother. Draco was reading, I had discarded my shoes and put my feet in his lap, and no, they didn't stink. Draco put away his book and used his thumb to massage the balls of my feet. I blushed and smiled at him. Again I murmured "Thanks,"

"No problem Kari," Draco told me then his robe brushed the side of my foot and I involuntarily balked, it had tickled. "I'm sorry." He told me, crossing his arms as to keep his robes from touching my foot. I sat up. Draco scooted toward me, and I returned the gesture. This went on for about thirty seconds until I felt my hip touch his, I blushed and scooted over a bit. Draco un-crossed his arms and put his hand on my shoulder, as if trying to get my attention.

"Yes Dra-" I was interrupted by my lips touching his. My whole face turned redder than a cardinal's breast. I pulled back and looked out the window.

"Did I offend you?" Draco asked, his face totally stood out and turned his bangs a comical pink-ish color.

"No, just surprised me." I told him, turning to look in his eyes. He looked back into mine, I felt like he was piercing my soul.

"Draco, look what I nicked from that Luna girl!" Crabbe boasted, waving around Luna's small purse cutely decorated with Luna-type things.

"Crabbe! Give that back! Luna's my friend!" I immediately said, before Draco could open his mouth to congratulate Crabbe.

"Yeah, give it back!" Draco agreed, displeased at Crabbe, I want to think because I was displeased.

"Draco that'd not your—" Crabbe began.

"Shut up and do it!" Draco shouted. I grabbed his arm lightly.

"Draco, stop it!" I whispered "Please don't yell."

Draco seemed to settle down, but Crabbe left with the little purse, whether he returned it, I may never know. Draco looked back at me, and then blushed, I was still holding onto his arm. I blushed and stood up.

"I should go my brother is probably looking for me…and stuff." I told him.

"Wait, I want you to promise me well see each other again." Draco said, grasping my wrist.

"Of course Draco, we'll see each other again. I promise." I told him, while lifting my free hand and extended my pinky, like muggles do. Draco looked at me funny, as if I were crazy. "You have been very sheltered Draco," I murmured, with an eye roll as I wiggled my wrist free of his grasp and lifted his own pinky. I smiled and curled my pinky around his.

"Oh, is that how muggles make an unbreakable vow?" Draco asked, holding tight to my pinky.

"No, it's breakable, but it's very indecent to break such a promise," I answered, and upon deciding to be very diabolical, I leaned in and whispered "Sometimes, people who break these promises never find another friend as long as they live."

"I don't want to break this promise," Draco whispered, and leaning over to kiss my cheek, whispered "I really like you." Which were the exact words that I wanted to hear.

"Draco, I-- "

SLAM!!!!!!!!!!!

"What the hell are you doing in here, alone with my sister?" Brett yelled, he had slammed the door open, nearly ripping it off its hinges.

"I was about to take full advantage of your absence and kiss her," Draco answered calmly, pulling me close and meeting my lips to his. I felt color and heat rise to my cheeks. I was convinced this was only a show. My arms wrapped around his waist and pulled him close, but I didn't deepen the kiss. I heard Brett trap off, shutting the door behind him violently. I broke off the kiss and sat on the opposite side of the compartment.

Silence.

"You like me right?" Draco asked.

"Yes, Draco."

"Friends?"

"I guess," I didn't mean it to, but it came out a-lot-a-bit exasperated.

"You don't want to be?" Draco's face conveyed what I could only register as sadness. I opened my mouth to say something before it all went black.
