It seemed to take forever to get Crabbe and Goyle off my back about where I was going. There was no need for them to be with me every second of every day. It was bad enough we were always together because of our dorm and classes, but you'd think they'd let me have the night to myself. After they left me alone, I dressed in a black sweater and grabbed my scarf, just in case the wind was going to act up tonight. I walked to the meeting place and waiting. I smiled as I saw her walking towards me, and walked a bit to close the gap. "I almost did. Slytherins are clingy, believe it or not." I said with a small laugh. "Well, at least the ones I hang around with are. Ready?"
---------------------------
After class ended, I quickly changed into a basic skirt and another lowcut sweater, making it clear in my mind I had in face traveled back to sixteen. I jumped as he knocked on the door, and had to calm myself down before answering it. I smiled as he walked in and looked to the bottle he brought with him. I took the drink from him and sat beside him. "Oh, it was alright. Today were the students who actually wanted to take my class, and not the first years who were required to take it. I rather enjoyed class. And you? How were your classes?" I asked, and took a sip of the wine.

I laughed at his comments about Slytherins. "Are you trying to tell me you're going to be clingy, Draco? Because this is just not going to work if that's true." I teased playfully before pulling his arm to head outside. I figured we could go for a walk and if we get bored we could break into the broom cupboard and steal his broom to go flying. "What do you think they'd do if they found out that we're 'friends'?" I said, using air quotes around the word friends.
-----------------
I smirked at her words and couldn't help but look her over as she talked. She looked incredible and I have to say I was loving that sweater. It fit her perfectly. "Sounds like you had a good day then." I said and took a long drink. "Mine was alright. Taught the sixth years how to conjure a patronus. I'm amazed at how many of them were about to do it so soon. Although, I'm sure we have Potter to thank for that." I commented, lounging back on the couch.

I made a face at her comment. "No. Don't worry; that's not really my style. I like space." I said and chuckled. After being around Pansy, I hoped Mindy wouldn't end up being clingy. Girls were crazy when they liked someone, even if they weren't dating them. I tried to stay away from them for that reason. "Who? All the Slytherins or just the ones I'm friends with? Crabbe and Goyle would probably be walking around with their heads up in the air wondering what the definition of a friend was, and Pansy would yell. She'd be the most annoying if they ever found out. Why? Thinking of telling them?" I asked with a smirk, looking down at her.
--------------------------
I smiled, remembering the first time I was able to conjure a patronus. It's been hard since my husband died, though... I shook my head, wanting the thought of him out of my head while I was here with Severus. "Oh yeah, that little club he put together. I think it's amazing all they were able to do, however. It kind of reminded me of when I joined the Order after school. I felt so rebellious." I said, and laughed. "Oh Merlin, I'm so pathetic. Growing up with my nose in a book, the Order was about as exciting as my life ever got."

I laughed at the face he made and linked my arm with his as a breeze hit. "Good. Because this is about all the contact I think I could manage with you." I said, trying not to think about how we were basically cuddling the night before. I hoped he didn't mention that... I looked at him curiously as he talked about his friends. I wondered what mine would think. They're usually supportive about anything but I know they'd talk about me behind my back, wondering if I'd gone crazy. If it were one of them I'd probably do that. "Well, I don't exactly want to keep fighting with you if we're going to try to be friends. Pretending to hate each other is just about the worst thing you can do to a friendship." I admitted, watching my feet as I walked.
---------------------
I tried not to let my face show what I was thinking. I wondered if she had any idea that I'd been a death eater. That I'd spent a good majority of my life hexing and killing those who were "lesser" than me. I doubted she would be too friendly to me then. She was on the good side from the beginning. Sure she spent some time with us while we were in school but when it came down to it, her loyalty always stuck with Dumbledore and the Order. I wish I could say the same. Then maybe I would have had more time with Lily. It was too late for that now though. "It's alright. Books are way more interesting than real life, aren't they?" I offered, trying to make her feel better.

I smiled down at her as she linked her arm with me. I remembered the night before and wondered if she did. I was surprised she allowed that, if this was really all of the contact with me she could deal with. Or maybe she was just saying that... "Well, unless you want us both to be shunned by our friends, we can act like we never fought." I said. I honestly didn't know what I wanted right now. I wanted to keep my reputation, but I wanted to be friends, as weird as that was, with Mindy. "So what do you think we should do? Act like nothing happened, or avoid contact with each other?"
--------------------------
I smiled. "Of course they are. In books, good always wins and people love you despite all of your flaws, and the ones we love never really leave us..." I said, and looked away from him. "I'm sorry, I'm being upsetting now. I'm sure this isn't what you came here to listen to." I said, looking back to him. "And in books, the girl always gets the guy she wants, doesn't she?"

I tried to ignore that dumb, obnoxiously cute smile he gave me as I linked arms with him. Why did he have to be attractive? I thought about what he was saying and I knew that I wasn't about to risk my friends being angry with me over a guy I'd been fighting with most of my school years. I wondered if he thought the same way. "I think we should just start avoiding each other all together instead of constantly seeking each other out to torment one another." I said and winced as I finally admitted I'd been doing it too. He'd always said I was partly to blame for all the fighting and I always blamed everything on him. Truth was I probably enjoyed it just as much as he did.
---------------------
I listened to her ramble about the great things about books. It was all true. And it all just reminded me how much my life wasn't going the way I wished it would. "Yeah, the books are always better. But, I can make life better tonight if you want me to." I offered and leaned forward to kiss her gently. I didn't want to think about how much my own life was falling apart around me.

I nodded. "Alright, fair enough." I said, and smirked when she included herself in seeking out the torment. "I'm sure though that will make everyone more suspicious when we tell everyone we're friends." I said. "But if you want to try it, we could. At least for a week, and we can always meet in secret like now." I said. Maybe this would work out. It would probably be easier to become friends if we weren't attacking each other every day, even if it was just to keep up appearances.
--------------------------------
I smiled against his lips as I kissed him back, winding one hand in her hair. "I think I'd really like that." I said, pulling away slightly. I put my wine glass down on the table in front of the couch and returned my attention to Severus, kissing him again.

"I just know one of us is going to end up getting hurt with all the crap we throw at each other. It would make it hard to be friends if we spend most of the day hexing each other. It would get too confusing." I said with a shrug. "And if anyone asks, we're trying to behave so we could maybe get out of detention early." I offered, thinking that this might actually work. "Now, enough talk. What do you want to do?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
-----------------------
I set my glass down with hers and pulled her close to me, feeling very much like a teenager again. I wondered if it was because it was her. I never feel like this with anyone else. But she was the girl I fantasized about and never went after. At the time I was too in love with Lily and too obsessed with trying to win her affection. Now I could be with Maggie like I was meant to years ago.

I nodded. Yeah, that all made sense. I was thinking it, too. "We'd end up saying something that would really bother the other. I agree, that could be bad." I said, and groaned. "I forgot about all the detention we were given. Sorry about that." I said, and raised an eyebrow at her. "Have something specific planned?" I asked.
-----------------------------
I kissed him until I needed to pull away to breathe. "Sev... what did you have in mind for tonight?" I asked, half hoping he wanted what was on my mind. There was only so much I could do for myself before I would have to give in to Severus and hope it wouldn't make things too awkward between us, especially since we sat next to each other for meals.

I chuckled as he groaned about the detention. "It's alright. If anything it gives us a chance to talk and not have to lie to our friends about where we're going." I said and shrugged. I was beginning to look forward to detention because it meant I would see him. I sighed. "Well, I was thinking about going flying but it's kind of cold." I said, wondering if I could use the weather to my advantage and get to fly with him.
---------------
I shrugged. "Maybe a little of this," I said and leaned in to kiss her neck. "Or a little of this," I kissed her jaw then. "And a lot of this." I kissed her lips and slowly fell back on the couch so she lay on top of me. I still wanted to take things slow but the urge to take her to the bed was so tempting.

I chuckled; she had a good point with detention. Maybe that was a better way to look at it, rather than having to deal with my dad sending letters expressing how upset with me he was and feeling bad for myself. "Yeah, it's a bit cold out. I'm not sure if I want to fly today, but if you wanted to... maybe for a little."
-------------------------
I moaned slightly as he kissed my neck, and smiled as I fell back on the couch with him. I sat up slightly to push my hair out of my face. I ran a hand down his chest as I leaned in to kiss him. "I could get used to this." I said before kissing him again. "Are you comfortable?" I asked.

"Oh come on, are you really going to pass up an oppurtunity to show off?" I teased, already walking towards the quidditch pitch. He was pretty impressive on a broom. I wasn't quite ready to admitt that yet though. I looked at him curiously, wondering how long this would all last before we got sick of each other.
--------------
"Absolutely. I've got you on top of me, don't I?" I said, wrapping my arms around her to caress her back as I continued to kiss her. She was so beautiful with her hair falling over her shoulders. It was very relaxing to hold her this way. "What about you? Are you comfortable?"

I smirked. "Of course. I am the best on a broom, so why wouldn't I want to fly now?" I said, a little bitter. I hated that Potter got more attention on the pitch just because of his name. I was better than he was. I got my broom from the cupboard and looked at her. "Ready?" I asked.
----------------------
I smiled at his answer and kissed him back. "Well, the couch is a bit small, but I could get used to it." I said. I trailed my lips down to his neck and bit him gently. I was afraid of saying something that would make him stop, and I would much rather do this on the couch than not at all.

I grinned at his ego. It'd always be annoying until now. Now, it was just amusing. I considered telling him that I thought he was better than Harry but I didn't want to make it worse. "Absolutely." I replied, a little too excited.
---------------------
"Well, I suppose if it really bothers you we could stop," I paused to worry her a bit. "And move this to the bed?" I suggested with an eyebrow raised. It was where I would rather be. Under the covers, with no clothes, and a little more....friction.

I smirked at the tone of her voice. I knew she just wanted to be close to me again tonight. I decided to mess around with her a little. I mounted my broom and then looked at her. "Alright, so where's yours?" I asked, a smirk on my face.
----------------------------------
I felt my heart drop into my stomach when he paused, but smiled as he kept talking. I sat up a little and looked over towards where my bedroom was. I didn't know if he wanted to because he cared about me, or because he saw me as a desperate widow, therefore easy. "Might be a bit more comfortable there, yeah." I said.
