An Unexpected Turn

chapter 2

When she catches sight of Draco she runs over.

"Drakee-pooo! I missed yoooou!" I chuckle to myself at the look on Draco's face.

"What's so funny? Drakeee-pooo! Why is she laughing?" He looks over at me.

"Nightshade?" I shrug.

"I'm not sure, I can’t decide. Its ether from the nick name or the look on your face. Most likely both. But like I said, I can't decide." Pansy hits his shoulder.

"Drakeee-pooo! Make her stop!" He shakes his head at her.

"Come on Dawn, you have work to do." I start to follow but stop abruptly.

"You just called me Dawn." He nods.

"It’s only fair." I tilt my head to the side slightly.

"What do you mean?" He shrugs.

"If you are to call me Draco, I should call you Dawn. Now let’s go." I follow him up the stairs to the boys’ dormitory.

"Uh! Bloody hell!?! What in Gryffindor’s name is that smell?" I grimace.

"That’s ether the laundry, or the food from last year." I look over at him shocked.

"Isn’t that a health code violation?" He shrugs.

"I don’t know...Well, get cleaning. Snape’s doing inspection in..." He pauses and checks his watch.

"2 hours." I sigh.

"What time is it now?" He glances at his watch once more.

"4:00 exactly." My eyes widen.

"I’m not going to get any sleep!" He smirks.

"Better get started." 

(After 1 hour and 1/2 of scrubbing god knows what off of the wall)

"Can I go to sleep now? I only have half an hour." He nods in approval.

"Yeah, it looks good Dawn." I smile sarcastically.

"Well, bye then." I walk out of the room, down the stairs, and over to the door. I walk over to it, and it won’t open.

"Weren't you listening to me earlier?" I turn to face Draco.

"Listening to what?" He sighs.

"When you said that someone from another house wouldn't be able to enter another common room. And I said alone. That goes for leaving too." I huff.

"Will you let me out then?" He shakes his head.

"No." I frown.

"Why?" He crosses his arms.

"Because I need you here." I look at him shocked.

"To do what? I already scrubbed your walls." He glares at me.

"Not right now ya git. In the morning." I groan.

"12:00 can't come soon enough." He looks confused.

"What's at 12?" I yawn.

"The potion will no longer have an effect." He nods slowly.

"Oh yeah..."

(Morning 8:00 care of magical creatures...with Draco.)

"Now the care for a griffin is very unique compared to other magical creatures..." I block Mrs. Sprout out. I’ve already heard this lecture plenty of times before. Suddenly a paper bird lands on my table well my part of the table at least. I pick up the bird and unfold it.
