The Christmas holidays had arrived, and Draco was wondering whether he should go back to the grand , yet lonely Manor , or stay here and act on Plan B for operation :Attract Aryanna.

It would take some time considering the fact that Aryanna was troublesome, mischievous , stubborn and too confident for a girl , but that made him want her even more, so he was a bit stuck with his feelings for the feisty, smart , funny girl , no she wasn't just a girl.. She was out of this world! Unique !

He had decided to stay, and see if he would win his latest conquest , maybe she all she needed was to get used to him , then all it would take was a few word in his 'husky' voice and for her to accidentally catch him when he looked appealing which was always (or so he thought )

Maybe, if he could just get her alone, a minute was all he needed, maybe he could persuade her to change her ways . But she was always hanging around with Meriat and Milena (a fellow Italian , gossiping about everyone and everything in sight )

"Mamma Mia ! Ah Draco there you are ! I will be taking the late shift for corridor patrol tonight ok ?!"

This was not ok with Draco though, as this would now spoil Part A of Plan B ,but maybe…

"No, it's not ok Nicola , as I have somewhere to be tonight ! So I will take the late shift !" Draco replied

"Probabilmente in qualche girl' base di s" muttered Milena

After a long, hard stare at all three girls, Draco made his way to a waiting Crabbe and Goyle, knowing that Aryanna would most probably do the late shift, as he would back down , or she would charm him into giving up. Draco didn't know what happened, but whenever he was with her , it was like he was someone else, someone who didn't have to live up to a rep, someone who didn't care about blood and heritage , or about wealth. She was like a drug. He needed a daily dose on fear he would collapse without seeing her. He was …he was weak. And all because of one girl.

'Drat Plan B' he thought, he would wait for her to fall for him naturally , because of who he was , not because of what he had.

First though, he had to get some sleep, as the Head Boy and Head Girl had 2 free periods every Tuesday to catch up on their work , but that wouldn't take long, so maybe all he needed was a little nap to clear his head .

2 hours later

Draco had just been awoken by a guitar being played , accompanied by a beautiful voice . A guitar was one of the few muggle creations he liked , along with the television and the violin. As he woke out of his pyjamas (he only wore them when he was taking a nap) , he made his way to the living room/common room to find none other than Aryanna , gently strumming the strings of a coffee coloured guitar, whilst gently singing to herself.

"So, you actually have talent ?" came a voice behind Aryanna . She turned around , she knew it could only be one person with that drawl and in that rule, but she was surprised all the same to see a very handsome, scruffy Draco Malfoy standing there , leaning on the wall with that irresistible smirk of his.

"Yes, you hava a problemo with that ?" she shot back , eyebrows raised

With that winning smile that unknowingly captured boys everywhere.

She was loved by everyone and everything. Even Snape found her amusing when she argued with his methods of applying ingredients in potions , and she was right , but not in a Granger way (which was stuck up and haughty ), but in a fun , playful and yet hardworking manner.

(Back to the common room scene )

"No, I'm just amazed that there's a brain under all that hair !" to which he replied, with a dazzling smile on his face .
