Chapter 14

12:05 a.m., Courtyard, Hogwarts(Thursday morning)

The two sat quietly next to one another in the dark courtyard. Vixen bit her bottom lip and shuffled her feet into the dirt below the bench. Draco leaned over, setting his elbows onto his knees, and turned his head toward Vixen. He waited patiently while she struggled to gather her thoughts.

"Draco, I'm not sure what to tell you. Truthfully we barely know one another. I just got out of a terrible relationship and I'm extremely confused right now. Not to mention I

don't understand what is going on between you and Pansy," she said sighing.

"Nothing is going on with us," he replied quickly.

"But she basically told me that you were going to get married?" she added. Draco scrunched his face up.

"Pansy and I did date. But I broke it off. She is not going to become my wife, or once again my girlfriend. I've outgrown her and her childish antics," he told her sitting up straight.

"I guess I just feel like I need to protect myself from you. Like I said, we barely know one another. Not to mention you clearly despised me when I first got here, and now you're suddenly declaring your love for me? It's all a bit sketchy," she said crossing her arms now. Draco looked at the ground.

"I understand. We won't put a label on it then. We are friends. You know how I feel, and when you figure things out, let me know how you feel. For now, let's keep things simple," he told her smiling slightly. Vixen smiled and hugged him tightly.

Draco began to blush and patted her back with one hand. She released him and stood up. Draco did the same. Tonight's meeting in the courtyard was obviously over and he watched Vixen disappear into the castle. He sighed when she was out of eye sight.

"This is so wrong. I should have known better than to tell her how I feel. That's it, I'm going back to my original plan. She's right, we don't know each other. Which means my "love" was only brought on by lust. I can get over lust. I have too," he thought to himself before returning to the Slytherin common room.

11:49 a.m., Gryffindor Table, Dinning Hall, Hogwarts(Thursday)

Ron and Harry were sitting at the Gryffindor table waiting for Hermione and Vixen to arrive. It was Hermione's last day with Vixen, and they wanted to do something special for her, but they weren't sure what. The two became confused when they were approached by Draco Malfoy.

"What do you want Malfoy?" Harry angrily asked.

"I have a preposition for the two of you," Draco replied calmly. Harry raised an eyebrow.

"Go on," Ron told him. Harry shot him a quick look.

"We should do something special for Vixen. It is her last day with Granger, correct?" Draco asked.

"Her name is Hermione, and yes it is. Why do you care?" Harry who was still angry shot back at him.

"May I sit down?" Draco asked, sighing. Reluctantly, they both nodded and he took a seat across from them.

"My idea is that we could throw them both a small party. You know, have it in an empty classroom tonight. Play music, serve drinks, whatever will make them happy," he told them.

"Why are you being so generous?" Ron asked.

"I could really use the good grade. Plus, a happy muggle is an easy muggle to examine," he pointed out.

"What time should we meet to do this?" Harry asked.

"Skip dinner tonight. Meet me in the courtyard at 7. Oh, and Vixen has this small green device, its a small rectangular thing that plays music. Bring that. But keep this a secret," he told them. The other two nodded.

"Draco? Why are you sitting over here?" Hermione asked, approaching the table with Vixen.

"What? Oh, just giving Weasley here some fashion advice, and reminding Potter here to mind his superiors," Draco lied before leaving the table.

"That was odd," Hermione said taking her seat at the table.

"Totally," Vixen added, following Draco with her eyes.

7:15 p.m., Gryffindor Table, Dinning Hall, Hogwarts(Thursday)

Hermione and Vixen were sitting alone at their usual spot. Harry and Ron claimed that they had to go help Hagrid with something, but that the two girls should go to dinner without them. Harry had asked Vixen about her "musical device" and she had leant it to him so he could study it. Both of the girls were skeptical of the boys' story.

"Why wouldn't Hagrid need my help?" Hermione angrily asked, crossing her arms. Vixen shrugged.

She placed her hand under the table and felt something stuck to the bottom of the table top. Praying that it wasn't chewed gum, she grabbed it and pulled it off the surface. It was a piece of parchment with writing on it.

"What does that say?" Hermione asked leaning over Vixen's shoulder.

"Dear V and H, meet us in the Potions classroom immediately! -H and R," Vixen read.

"Ron and Harry!" Hermione shrieked, jumping from her seat. Vixen ran behind her out of the hall and through the hallways.

Hermione pushed the door to the Potions classroom open forcefully. Vixen tried to catch her breath, standing at Hermione's side in the doorway. The room was dark.

"Harry? Ron?" she whispered stepping into the room. Vixen followed her slowly.

Suddenly, candles lit the room, and confetti and glitter were falling from the ceiling. The girls grabbed one another, frightened by the sudden light.

"Surprise!" Harry, Ron and Draco yelled in unison. The girls looked at them, baffled.

"What is this?" Hermione asked releasing Vixen, scanning the room.

"It's a party!" Ron yelled.

"A party? What for?" Vixen asked brushing off her shoulder.

"For you. For both of you. It's your last day together," Harry told them, happily.

"For us?" Hermione asked, happiness in her voice.

"Yeah, Draco actually planned the entire thing," Ron said. Draco placed his hands into his pockets.

"It's wonderful," Vixen said smiling. He smirked back at her.

Vixen squinted her eyes at the front of the room. Her iPod was standing upright on a desk. She looked at Harry who smiled at her. With a flick of his wand, music began to play from the small green device. Blow by Ke$ha filled the room, and Vixen laughed.

"Let's dance!" she yelled grabbing Draco by his white button up shirt and pulling him close to her.

Harry, Ron and Hermione huddled together, dancing and laughing, while Vixen and Draco remained close together. Draco's ears became hot.

"I don't really dance," he told her.

"I don't really care. Its my party and you'll dance if I want you too," she replied smiling. Draco raised his eyebrows.

"Yes ma'am," he told her, laughing.

Quickly, the entire group of teenagers ended up meshing together and dancing as a group. Hermione and Vixen were laughing at one another as they all danced. They were all too busy enjoying themselves to notice Jacob and Pansy lurking angrily in the doorway.

"Look at him. Dancing with them," Pansy jealously whispered.

"Don't worry about it. Remember, we'll get them soon," Jacob said as they walked away from the room.

8:49 p.m., Potions Classroom, Hogwarts(Thursday)

The four Hogwarts students and their class appointed muggle had stopped dancing and were now all sitting and lying on the cold floor of the empty Potion's classroom. Hermione was lying on her stomach, propped up on her elbows. Ron and Harry sat next to her, hugging their knees with their arms. Draco was lying on his side, propped up on one elbow, and Vixen was lying on her back, looking up at the four.

"Best. Party. Ever," she said. The others laughed quietly amongst themselves.

"You must not go to many parties then, Vix," Ron laughed. Harry nodded, smiling.

"Actually, no. I've never been to any parties," Vixen replied, turning her head looking up at him.

"Really? But I thought you were rich?" Draco asked while lowering one eyebrow at her questionably.

"I'm not. My father has money. But I was never allowed to attend his office parties. It was just for adults," she told them.

"What about school dances?" Hermione asked.

"Like prom and homecoming? Nobody ever asked me to go with them. I didn't really want the attention of being the girl who showed up without a date either. But to answer the question, no. I have never gone to a school dance," she said calmly.

"Nobody asked you? Are you kidding me?" Harry asked astounded. Draco scrunched his nose up at the remark.

"Nope. Trust me, I wasn't really considered a hot item at school," she laughed. Hermione gave her an understanding smile.

"Well then you lucked out. Because you just got to have the best first party of your life!"

Ron yelled. The group laughed at his outburst, not counting Draco.

"Well I expect more of these from all of you," Vixen laughed pointing at them all.

"It's already after nine o'clock guys. We should probably head to our rooms," Hermione sighed.

"You're probably right. I guess I'll see you four tomorrow morning in class then," Draco said standing up. Ron stood up and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Thanks for coming up with the idea of the party, mate," Ron said smiling at him. Draco nodded and left the room.

"Ronald Weasley just called me his mate! I even smiled about it! I do not want to be friends with Weasley, Potter or Granger! I just need to be friends with Vixen. This is getting out of hand," Draco thought to himself while he walked back to the Slytherin Common Room.

The other four left the Potions classroom after Vixen retrieved her iPod. They walked back to their shared common room quietly. Vixen's arm was linked with Hermione's and she rested her head on her shoulder.

"Good night you guys. I'll see you bright and early," Vixen said standing by the couch in the living quarters. Hermione crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at her.

"Vixen, come share my bed tonight," Hermione offered.

"Bloody hell Hermione," Ron said, shocked.

"Ron, shut up," Harry urged.

"Sure thing, Hermione," Vixen said smiling. They all parted ways, and Vixen got to sleep in a bed with her best friend tonight.

9:25 a.m., Muggle Studies Classroom, Hogwarts(Friday)

Draco was the first one of his group to be in the classroom today. He barely slept the previous night. He laid in his bed and thought about where his life was going. He wasn't so sure that he should continue with his plan anymore. Not after last night.

He perked up when Vixen walked through the door, followed by the other three members of his group. She smiled when she saw him. They made their ways over to Draco, and placed themselves in their normal seats. Before climbing onto the desk, Vixen bent down and swiftly kissed Draco on his cheek. Blood rushed to his face immediately.

"Thank you so much for everything you did last night. You're the absolute best," she whispered before climbing onto the desk. Draco looked around and apparently nobody had seen what just happened. Or so he thought.

A small smile crept upon his face and remained there for the rest of the class. They were instructed to switch examiners for the new week, which meant Ron had now replaced Hermione in Group 6. Ron sat quietly, shaking his leg. Harry looked at him, confused.

"What's wrong?" Harry whispered.

"Harry, she's a girl. I don't know what to do with one of those," he nervously whispered back.

"We hang out with Hermione every single day though," Harry replied.

"That's different. Hermione's a girl, but Vixen is a girl-girl," Ron replied, more nervousness in his voice. Harry rolled his eyes and gave up trying to help.

"Ron, it's time to go," Vixen mentioned, sliding off of the table.

"Oh no," he said, his voice full of fear. Harry patted him on the back and then left the room.

Hermione left, and then Ron and Vixen left. Draco kept smiling to himself while he gathered his things and placed them into his bag. He slung it over his shoulder and walked out of the room. His smile faded when someone had grabbed him by his shirt and slammed him into the wall.

"What the hell was that about!" Jacob yelled in his face, pushing him harder into the wall. Draco gritted his teeth.

"What in the hell are you talking about?" he spat back at him.

"You know damn well what I'm talking about! She kissed you!" he shot back, breathing loudly and heavily into Draco's face.

"I had nothing to do with that Jacob. She did it on her own!" he yelled, trying to push away from the wall.

Within seconds, Jacob's right fist made contact with Draco's jaw. Under his knuckles, it was easy to hear his jaw bone crack. Draco let out a painful yell as blood flew out of his mouth and onto the wall, floor, and even his clothes. Jacob released him and cracked his neck.

"I warned you, Malfoy," he said calmly before walking away from him.

Draco slid down the stone wall behind him, blood pouring down his chin, staining his usual button up white shirt. He was barely able to keep his eyes open from the pain. He let out small painful sobs, grabbing onto his shaggy hair with his hands. He had never been hit that hard in his entire life, and he was used to being hit by his father the same way. But this was different.

He opened his eyes wider when someone knelt down next to him.
