Good Boy Gone Bad

Things Get Complicated

Ebony's POV

I want it to be Christmas break already! It's still only October and I don't know if I can wait any longer to marry Draco. As soon as he gets back from his business I'm going to convince him we should get married now. Right this moment I was heading to the Great Hall for dinner absorbed in my thoughts. Apparently I wasn't watching where I was going because I slammed into someone.

"Oy! Watch where you're going," I heard.

I looked down to see some Gryffindor boy. I scowl at him. "You should be watching where you're going Gryffindork. Now get out of my sight before I hex you."

He shrugs at me. "Like I care. I have better things to worry about than you."

I push him aside before walking into the Great Hall. After sitting at my table I pile my plate with potato salad and a hamburger. One of my favorite meals. As I eat I look around the room seeing Potter by himself. Wonder where his little followers are. I snort thinking about it and finish my entire plate in no time. I decide to have a little fun with him.

I come up behind him. "All alone Potter?"

He turns around to face me. "Why do you care?"

I give him my evilest glare as I pull out my wand. "Stupefy!"

He falls over and passes out. I chuckle to myself as I notice quite a few people watching. I stare them down which makes them go back to eating and chatting as they were. Smiling I strut out of there heading for the Room of Requirement.

Once I get to it I pace up and down letting the door reveal itself. I walk in and use my wand to set it up the same way Draco had it when he proposed to me. The door swings open again to reveal Draco. My smile spreads wide and launch myself at him. "You're here!"

Draco chuckles and holds me to him. "Hello my love." I watch him look around as he smirks. "Same set-up?"

"I wanted to surprise you. Would you like a glass of champagne?"

"Sure why not."

I pull back walking over to the ice bucket. After popping the cork off of the bottle I pour some into both glasses. I pick one up and give it to Draco. I sip mine thinking of how I'm going to convince him to marry me now.

"I was thinking of the wedding," I start off with.

"So have I. When should we start preparing?"

"Probably now but I don't want anything fancy."

"That's fine darling. I was actually hoping you would say that."

I smile at him reaching for his hand. Draco takes it and rubs it slightly. "Would you like a massage?" I ask him.

"You want to give me a massage? Why?"

"Well is there a reason why I can't?"

"No I guess not." I smile as he lays down on the bed.

Once he's settled in I push his shirt up and use my hands to rub his back. I hear him sigh as I move my hands a little harder. "Mmmm baby that feels good."

"I'm glad." I knead down his back leaning over to kiss where my hands just were.

"Oh Ebony," he moans.

I knew what I was doing was going to work. I lean closer to his ear and whisper. "How about we get married  now?"

"Yes lets do it now before I lose my sanity."

I giggle softly. "Come on lets go elope. Then we can do whatever we want to each other."

His eyes light up and he grabs my hands pulling them away as he pulls his shirt back down. "Take my hand," Draco says.

I take his hand and he apparates us away.

Dakota's POV

I've been avoiding both Fred and George since the confrontation from the other day. I can't handle this; it's just too much. I have been spending a lot of time at the astronomy tower thinking. All I do is stare down over the grounds.

I'm there now not wanting to be anywhere else. I hear the door swing open but I don't look back. The next thing I know I feel arms coming around my waist. "Dakota where have you been?" It was Fred's voice.

I shrug not saying a word. I don't think my voice would allow it anyway. Most likely I would start crying. I continue to stare out trying to keep myself composed.

"Dakota please talk to me. We missed our date."

A tear escapes before I can stop it. "Maybe we shouldn't be together. I'll ruin everything."

"Don't say that! I love you. Lets just try it and see how things go."

I shake my head tearing myself away. "It will never work! Don't you see? I'm a mess and being with you will just make it worse. Please just go so I don't change my mind."

"Dakota don't do this." Fred turns me around to face him. "You mean the world to me. I can't lose you now that I have you."

"You don't have me either! I never actually said I would be with you. All we talked about was the date we never went on. I'm begging you. Please go."

I watch as a tear slides down his face. Oh no I hurt him now too. I reach over and use my thumb to wipe it away. "Don't cry. Believe me it's for the best."

"No it's not. I love you despite you not wanting to be with me. This isn't over Dakota. Mark my words. It isn't over."

Fred walks away from me and I knew he was right. I hate it when he's right. More tears fall thinking of how stupid I am. He's never going to give me up that easily. Besides being a jokester he can be super stubborn.

I can't stay here forever either so I reluctantly head back down to the common room. I give the Fat Lady the password before going in and sitting on the couch. Footsteps head towards me and I look up to see George. Oh no here we go again.

"Dakota? Can we talk?"

"There's nothing to talk about. Please just leave me alone." 

"I can't do that." He sits beside me.

"Yes you can. All you have to do is stand and walk away. It's that easy."

I hear George sigh. "Then just listen." Before I can say another word he launches into his speech. "I screwed up. I get that. I've had a crush on you since 2nd year and I had no idea what to do about it. So I tried to just be your friend. Just recently the feelings have overwhelmed me and there's been some trouble at home. I took it out on you and I feel horrible about it. I don't blame you if you hate me but I wanted to apologize for everything that I've done. Okay now you can talk."

My eyes went wide with shock. He's liked me since second year? No way! That couldn't be right. It sure doesn't make any sense to me. I bite my lip softly not sure how to respond.

"Dakota? Are you okay?"

I just nod before looking down at my hands. "I need some time to think."

"Okay I understand. I'll be around if you need me."

I don't look back up until I hear him leave the common room. Oh my god what's going to happen now?
