Chapter Eleven:
Jeannette/Hailey's POV

"It's so depressing outside." I said looking out the window over the grounds it was pouring outside. Anthony, Padma, Terry, and I were sitting in the common room. Anthony and Terry laughed, Padma looked amused, "What?" I asked.

"It's just that that was fairly random, Hailey-cat." Tony said as he pulled me into his lap.

I blushed, "Oh, sorry. I just can't seem to pay attention, at the moment. And that more you use that the more it grows on me."

Terry laughed, "It's okay, no one can pay attention for long with History of Magic." He shut the book and Tony and Padma did too, mine never got opened. I know, I'm the best Ravenclaw ever.

Michael Corner walked through the door to the common room and over to our group, "Hey, mate, how's Ginny?" Tony asked.

"You guys can see her soon." Michael replied before dropping his voice to a whisper, "We've got to get to Potter's defense... Thing."

"Where is it?" Padma asked as she got up from Terry's lap.

"On the Seventh floor across from a portrait of Barnabas the Barnaby." He said and we got up and left. We tried not to be super obvious.

I was surprised when we arrived at the door to the Room of Requirement. "Haven't seen this door before." Tony muttered next to me as we walked in. The Golden Trio were already there along with some other Gryffindors were sitting on cushions. We joined them.

A couple more Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs joined and Harry started speaking. He was really nervous, and Cho gushed over him. She obviously liked him, I wonder how he couldn't have noticed. Granger was still being a know-it-all, but I also noticed that Weasley hardly spoke. The funny twin Weasleys said more than he did. We decided that we'd name our little group Dumbledore's Army and that Harry's the leader. I don't see why we had to vote on it though.

Harry was blushing, it was kinda cute that he was all nervous. "So I thought we'd start with a disarming spell."

Smith had to say something, that kid got on my nerves, "And disarming is supposed to help us fight Death Eaters or You-Know-Who?"

Ron looked like he was finally going to say something, but Harry beat him to it, "I used it against Voldemort last June and it saved my life."

There was a stunned silence after that, we got into pairs to practice the spell. I was going to work with Tony, but Harry pulled me aside, "Hey Hailey."

"Hey Harry." I smiled, "Nice place you got here."

He blushed, "Er, thanks. I was wondering if you could work with Neville? He doesn't have a partner."

"I was going to work with Tony..." I replied, well this was awkward.

He shook his head, "It would be better if you worked with Neville, you won't hold back as much."

I shrugged, "Okay, you're the boss-man." I went over to the boy Harry said was Neville. "Hi, I'm Hailey."

He blushed, what was with blushing Gryffindors? "Hi, I'm Neville."

I nodded, "The one who's got a knack for Herbology."

He blushed, "That's me."

I smiled, "Should we get started then?" He nodded, "Expelliarmus!" The wand flew out of his hand.

While he went to get it I looked around for Tony. I found him partnered with Smith. Every time Smith went disarm Tony, Smith's wand would fly out of his hands without Tony doing anything. I didn't have to look hard to see why. The Weasley twins were pointing their wands at Smith's back. One of them saw me and put a finger to his lips, a motion for me to be quiet.

I motioned zipping my mouth closed and throwing away the key, as Neville cried, "Expelliarmus!" And my wand flew out of my hand.

Neville beamed, "Harry! I did it! I never did it before!" I hadn't realized Harry was standing almost right beside me.

"Good job." Harry said a little over enthusiastically, Neville didn't notice. The rest of the meeting passed quickly. It was decided that the next meeting would be next Wednesday.

"Tony-bear," I walked over to Tony and the rest of the Ravenclaws. "I'm going to chat with Harry."

He nodded, "Do you want me to wait here?"

I shook my head, "You can just go with everyone else, I'm meeting Blaise afterwards."

"You're staying out past curfew?" He shook his head, "What happened to staying on Umbridge's good side?"

I laughed, "I'm still Seeker, what's the point? Besides, Umbridge doesn't have a good side."

He laughed too, "Good point." He pulled me into a kiss, he seemed more possessive than usual. We didn't break apart until one of the Weasley twins, I really need to learn their names, wolf-whistled. Tony kissed me once more before hurrying to the common room with the rest of our house.

"Harry," I walked back inside the Room of Requirement. The Golden Trio were the last ones left inside, Granger and the Weasley were bickering. Harry was looking over an old parchment. When he saw me he quickly put the parchment in his pocket. Well that was suspicious. "I haven't talked to you in forever."

He blushed, "We spoke earlier."

I rolled my eyes, "That's not talking, that's speaking."

He looked confused, "There's a difference?"

I smiled and shook my head, "Potter, you have so," I put emphasis on 'so', "Much to learn."

"Blaire," Hermione interrupted, "Why are you still here? You could get in trouble if you're caught."

I smirked, "Says the prefect who co-founded an illegal club that could get us all expelled. And I just wanted to talk to Harry."

Harry laughed, "You're spending too much time with Malfoy, you've almost perfected his smirk."

I shook my head, "That was my smirk, here's Drake's." I did Draco's signature smirk, "I have been spending too with Drake, because someone," I looked at Harry, "Hasn't been talking to me."

Harry blushed, "Sorry, I've had practice and detention." He looked over at Weasley and Granger, the two nodded and left.

I frowned, "But you've even been quiet during class. I miss talking about how Umbridge is an evil toad and the weird things your muggle family does. Are you mad at me or something?"

He hugged me awkwardly, "I'm not mad at you, I've just had a lot on my plate. We'll talk in class. You can tell me a story from America."

I nodded, "I'm holding you to that." I left the Room of Requirement and hurried down the steps. I didn't exit through the front door, that would've been stupid. I went through a window in a classroom on the first floor. "Lumos." I muttered and light came from the end of my wand. Thank Merlin the rain had let up.

"Nox." I whispered as I arrived at the pitch. There was a single light coming from the stands and I began the climb.

The light extinguished when I got to the top, "Tsk, tsk, Jeanette late again." Blaise's smooth voice came from the darkness.

Before I could reply another voice came from the darkness, "I hope you aren't making a habit." Of course Drake was there too.

I shivered it was sort of cold outside, "It's Hailey. Did you two sit here rehearsing that?" I said as I went to take a seat and ended up sitting on Drake, I knew it wasn't Blaise. Blaise wore a different cologne, "Oops, sorry. Can you turn the light on?"

I could imagine Blaise shaking his head, "No, flying in the dark is fun."

"Flying?" I asked the general direction Blaise's voice had come from, "It's too cold to fly."

Drake draped an arm around me, "Warmer now?" I could tell he was smirking. In such a short time I had gotten to know him very well.

"You're icy heart makes it kind of hard for you to warm anyone up." I replied and I heard Blaise laugh.

Drake joined in, "Flattery won't help you know, sweetheart, we're going to fly."

I shook my head, "You can't make me."

"We're bigger than you." They replied in unison.

I scoffed, "It's called a foot."

"Leave the family jewels out of this." Blaise replied as he turned the light on. I realized that I was still sitting really close to Draco, practically on top of him. Blaise sat in the row in behind us, we were turned backwards to face him. Of course Blaise would sit in a way that would make us look up to him. One of Blaise's arms were tucked inside his robes. The only broom in sight wasn't Blaise's, it was Drake's Nimbus 2001.

"How are we all going to ride with only one broom?" I asked.

Blaise shook his head, "I'm not flying." He took his hand out of his robes; it was heavily bandaged.

I gasped, "What happened?"

"That's not important." Blaise replied quickly.

"We were practicing Potions and drinking, never a good combination." Draco whispered.

"I said it wasn't important!" Blaise snapped. They bickered back and forth for a bit, I didn't mind. If they kept it up I wouldn't go flying.

I had always suspected Blaise could read my mind because as soon as I thought that he stood. "Anyway, Jeanette, I'm leaving you here with this idiot." He turned to said idiot, "Don't be an asshole." Blaise then left the stands.

"It's Hailey." I muttered.

Drake got up and I shivered, he was actually keeping me warm. He got on his broom then turned to me, "Well get on." I got on the broom, "Hold on." Drake warned me and I reluctantly wrapped my arms around him as the broom took off. I gave a surprised gasp as we went soaring, I hadn't flown with more than one person on a broom in years. I ended up holding on tightly as we flew.

"You're a good flyer." I murmured as I rested my head on his back.

I felt him laugh, "Just good? I'm not just good, I'm fucking amazing." To prove his point he does a loop upside down. I gasped and held on to him even tighter.

"Don't do that again." I whispered. I knew he was smirking as he did it again, "Malfoy!"

"Come on, Jeanette, I thought we were on first name basis." He turned around and looked back at me with a smile.

"It's Hailey, and watch where you're going!"

He laughed, "It's not as if I can see where I'm going anyway."

"Land please." I requested and surprisingly he actually landed. But he had to land on the roof of one of the many towers. We got of the broom, and I started shivering. Draco wrapped his arms around me again. "This isn't helpful, what happened to not being an asshole?"

"I'm not very good at following directions." He replied as he sat both of us down against the wall that lined the tower, effectively pulling me into lap. He did so stiffly, probably the result of the beating he had gotten from Harry and the twins. He put his chin in between my shoulder and neck. "Besides, I can't help it. Being an asshole is just who I am." His breath tickled my neck.

If I wasn't already with Tony I think I would've liked Drake. He was nice, when there was no one else around to mess up his image. He wasn't bad looking either, in fact he looked good. His blonde hair never looked bad, it was always soft. He always looked well put together... but none of that mattered, I was with Tony. "We both know you're not really an ass."

I felt him smile against my neck, "Don't let that get around, I wouldn't be a Prince then."

"A prince?" I asked.

"You didn't realize you were in the presence of royalty?" He sounded amused, "Blaise and I are The Princes of Slytherin."

I nodded, "Someone should have informed me sooner. I thought you two were just the Slytherin Sluts."

He made an irritated noise, "Who did you hear that from?"

"Pretty much everyone." I turned my head to look at him. I hadn't realized that his face was already turned towards mine and my lips brushed his. He leaned in closer and kissed me. It took me a couple second to realize what was happening. "Drake, I'm still with Tony." I said, turning my face away from his. I got off of his lap and went to sit next to him. I shivered, suddenly missing his arms wrapped around me.

He looked shocked, "I'm sorry Jeanette. I shouldn't have done that." There was no emotion in his voice, and it broke my heart.

"Drake-" I started, but he cut me off. He didn't even let me say 'It's Hailey.'

"I'll take you back to Ravenclaw Tower." He stood and picked up his broom, he got on and turned back to me, "Come on." Reluctantly I got on the broom too. I wrapped my arms around him, he flew to the Ravenclaw Tower. "Which window is yours?" He asked. I pointed to it and he flew up to it. I pulled the window open and jumped inside, Drake flew off before I could say goodnight.

"Traveling by window is a good way to avoid the dratkins." Luna said as I stared out the still open window. I was trying to see if Drake was still flying, but it was impossible to tell. "They lurk in doorways."

"Good to know Luna." I muttered as I went to my four-poster and closed the curtains. I felt incredibly guilty and it was making me sick to my stomach. I guess you could say that I initiated the kiss, even if it was accidental.

Is this something I'm supposed to tell Tony? I think so. Or will he think I cheated? I hope not. Would he want to break up with me? Tony's forgiving, and it wasn't like I kissed him back. If I wasn't with Tony would I have kissed Drake back? Yes. Ugh, I didn't want to think about it, my mom would know what to do. I stifled a sob, I wasn't going to cry, she would've wanted me to be happy. I took a deep breath, be happy.
