"I...uhm...I...Im not." I said and let go. I felt my cheeks turn a slight pinker and I crossed my arms over my chest, watching where I was walking to avoid looking back at Draco. "Oh, stop Im only teasing." He said and nudged me with his elbow. I glanced up at him and kept walking. I walked into another room and noticed scratch marks along one of the walls. "Wonder what that's from." I muttered.
-----------------
"Well, Im...sorry bout them. They're just confused at why you're suddenly wanting to be my friend. In fact...so am I." I said and she stared into her mug. I smirked.

"What do you mean?" I asked defencivly. "Suddenly want to be your friend...it was all Melina's idea." i was so embarrised i wasn't even aware of what was coming out of my mouth anymore. "Melina's idea? Why would she want you to talk to me...and come on a date with me unless she knows something..." "she thought you could be an easy way to get to harry!" i blurted out, then narrowed my eyes. Why did I say that? melina wants to get to harry? I s'pose if it was draco wanting info... but no! what am i thinking? "What?" I whispered to myself. Ron smirked a bit. "What!" I felt my eyes welling with tears. this was not how i had wanting this date to go... -------------------------
"some monster....or maybe that great oaf, hagrid they call him? Im surprised that beast has a name..." I wondered out loud, then turned back to Melina and smiled. I had the sudden erge to kiss her. that had happened only once before last year at the yule ball. She looked beautiful that night, but i didn't tell her, i only said, "that what your wearing?" and she hit me. i stared at here lips out of the corner of my eye.

I rolled my eyes. I ignored his comment about Hagrid. "No. These arent normal marks. It looks almost like...fingernails. Long, thick...fingernails." I said, running a hand over one of the marks. I looked at Draco and furrowed my brow, seeing him staring at me. "What?" I questioned and he blinked, coming out of thought. "Ermm, nothing. Just...thinking." I shrugged and walked to the stairwell. I took a deep breath and glanced at Draco. "Wanna go up? See if there's anything...interesting up there?" I asked with a smirk.
---------------------
"Kat...Im sorry if this isnt going right. I know its a little akward." I said and chuckled when she gave me a look. "Alright. Very akward. But lets....try to have...a good time. Yeah?" I said and she stared at the table. "That would be nice." She said and I smiled.

"Brilliant.." Ron muttered. "So do you wanna go for a walk?" I asked not being able to think of anything else. "maybe we can go to zonko's joke shop or something?" i asked. Truth was, i didn't want harry and hermione staring at us, "...alone." I added quietly.
-------------------
"S'pose so" I muttered and started for the stairs not looking back at her. I wonder what those finger nail marks were from... what if something was in here. I began slowing down my walk, getting nervase. I knew that oaf wasn't the reason for the marks.... Just then a loud thud came from downstairs. It sounded like the door locked.

((i did ron's pov first.)
"Ermm...sure. Let's go. I love that store." I said and stood up. "Uhh, one second." I walked over to Harry and Hermione. "What are you doing with her?" Hermione asked and I shrugged. "We're goin' to Zonko's. I'll meet up with you guys in the common room." I said and she gaped at me. "You're not serious are you?" She said and Harry grinned at me. "Yeah. I am." I answered and walked over to Kat. "Let's go." I said.
----------------------
I froze in my tracks. "What...was...that...?" I said slowly, not moving. I glanced around, looking for anything that could be near us. "I...I dont know." Draco answered. "Ahh, I knew this was a bad idea. Damn, why dont i ever listen to myself?!" I mummbled, mostly to myself rather than to him.

I glanced back at Harry and Hermione, who was almost glaring at me. I looked back at Ron, "Does she have a thing for you or what?" I asked him as we emerged into the road. "What?" He asked his face screwing up. "Hermione, does she have a thing for you? Cause she keeps glaring at me..."
----------------------------
"Shhh!" I hissed to Melina and she got quiet. We listened, frozen to the silence that covered the house once again, aside from the usual creaking. Then another thud from ahead, and a rusted window snapped shut. I stepped backward next to Melina. My heart started racing and I held my breath, looking around.

"Oh...uhhmmm....I...er...I dont know." I said, akwardly, turning a shade of red. I had never really thought of Hermione that way. I'd always been interested in-- "Why are you walking so slow. Come on." Kat said, pulling me by the arm and walking to Zonko's. "Oi! Ron!" I stopped once we got inside upon hearing the identical voices of my twin brothers calling my name. I sighed. "Ignore anything they say about you." I mummbled to Kat and she looked at me oddly. "Fred. George." I said as they walked up. "Who's the girl Ron?" They asked in unison, waggling their eyebrows at Kat. "This is Kat. Kat...Fred and George." ----------------------- When Draco came back to me I hugged him around the waist. I could feel and hear his heart pounding. "Whats happening?" I whispered, clinging to him, frightend. "I dont know." He said quietly. Another thud and another window snapped shut.

"hello cutie" Fred said. "where you from" George added. I knew they were only joking around so I found myself giggling and turning red. I glanced at Ron who was looking away and gritting his teeth. "Nice to meet you..." I said quietly. "What house are you in" Fred asked. "Hufflepuff?" George asked. "Ravenclaw?" Fred asked. "Slytherin?" They said in unison making discusted faced. Fred turned to George, "Course not" "Yeah, ronny would't be with a slytherin" George said to him. And they both turned to me waiting for an answer. I hesitated, "S- Ravenclaw..."
---------------------------
The hall seemed to darken more that it was already and a frozen draft filled the house. I could feel my breath going cold and held tightly onto Melina. I was suddenly extremely sad, angry and frightened all at the same time. Something moved behind us and we whipped around together and then again and I turned back. We were now standing back to back, our breath forming little clouds around us.
(i think you understand what im getting at??)

My eyes went wide and I looked at her funny. "No you-" "Cool." They both said together with a slight grin. "We'll...see you later." I said and walked quickly to the other side of the store. I stopped and scolded Kat. "What?" She said, pretending to be interested in something on the floor. "Why did you tell them that?" -------------------- (i think.) "Draco?" I whispered shakily. He reached over and grabbed my hand. Tears filled my eyes as a rush of every bad kind of emotion flooded into me. "D-Dementors..." Draco whispered as two dementors came forward. I wanted to scream but was unable to. I could feel Draco slowly loosing his grip on my hand. I quickly pulled out my wand before I lost any sense of control.

I looked at Ron, "I dont know...did you see the way they said 'slytherin'? like its some kind of desiese or something. I didn't want them to know." Ron stared at me, "It was just my reaction! Listen it dosn't matter...it's not a big deal." And when he tried to protest I turned away and pretended to examine a strange box on a shelf that made small puffs of smoke, each one a differant color with a picture inside the smoke.
-------------------------
As the duo of hooded figures came closer, melina pulled out her wand and faced them. I ripped my eyes away from the floating dementors and to her. "You dont know how to do a patronous, do you?" I asked uneasily and pulled my wand out too. It shook in my hand, and i didn't know why i had my wand out anyway... I couldn't do a patronous, and any other spell was worthless. But somehow I felt safer with my wand.

I groaned and glanced over at my twin brothers, who were flirting with Angelina and...some other girl whose name excapes me, before walking to the wall. She was looking at some box that puffed coloured smoke out. I went to another shelf and picked up a small box that almost bit my finger off. "It's a prank for teachers." Kat explained. "Kids set them on a teacher's desk as a gift and went they go to open it, it bites their hand." "Huh. Nifty." I said, thinking of laying one on Snape's desk. I threw that idea away when I realized he'd just use that potion that makes you tell the truth. Maybe Mcgonagal- "Ooo...come over here." Kat said and grabbed my arm. I tossed the box back on the shelf and followed her. ----------------------- I rolled my eyes and put my wand up. "Expecto Patronum!" I yelled and a silver snake came out of the end of my wand. The dementor in front of me fled the room and went out a window. I pointed at the second and it quickly followed the first. I let out a sigh of relief then glared at Draco. "What? Do think I would actually know how to use a spell. Just because I rarely use them in class doesnt mean I don't know how." I said, defensively and he stared at me in shock. "But that's a patronous!" He said, confused. "So." I said and straightend my jacket. "When Kat had detention for a week I had free time so I learned it." I explained. "Now can we please get out of here?" I asked.

I pulled Ron towards the back of the store where a big tub full of small round objects where floating. "Candy?" He asked looking sideways at me. "I don't know..." I answered staring at the small objects. They were flying around the tub in bright colors, neons, pastels; tails of smoke seemed to follow each one.
------------------------------
"yes, i think thats a very good idea" I said and almost ran out the front door. Melina followed closely behind and we jogged until we were a safe distance away from the house. I glanced back at the shreiking shack. "Well, it IS the most haunted house in brittian" And although my face was pail, my hands were sweaty and every inch of me was still trembling, I tried to sound unmoved by what had just happened.

"I dont think tha's ordinary candy." I said. "Why not?" "For one, we're in Zonko's." I said with a smirk. "And two...their floating." She grinned. "Dare you to try one." She said, nudgging me with her elbow. "Me? No way. You try one." "What are you scared?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. "No I just-" "Maybe I should go tell Fred and George..." She said, and turned looking for my brthers. "Alright, Alright." I said and pulled one out and tried it. (you can write the effect.) --------------------- I chuckled and hugged him tightly around the waist, glad to be outta there. "Remind me never to go in there again ok?" I said, pulling back enough to look at him, but kept my arms around his waist. He smirked. "Will do. I don' think I'll be in there for a while either." He said. "So, when you tell youre friends about this...you gonna tell them that you mastered a patronous out of nowhere and scared 'em off?" "I might." He said with a laugh. I rolled my eyes.

Ron chewed the candy and chewed for about a minute or two and nothing happened. I stared at him waiting but he looked exactly the same. Finally he swallowed it and shrugged. "Nothing. You don't look any differant" I said putting my hands on my hips. "Maybe its a dud" "Well thats bloody brilliant" He said sarcastically. I almost screamed, laughed, and caughed all at the same time. "What?" He asked his voice cracking. "Your voice....its not your voice. It's mine!" I laughed covering my mouth with a hand. "Ello Ronny" Two voices said together. "Feeling a bit feminine?" Fred asked. "Thats a recordin-sweet you got there" George said. "A what?" Ron asked. I gasped and snickered. His voice was now Georges'- or Fred's. I couldn't tell.
------------------------------
"Yeah, and about how you saved us from the dementors kiss, and how I held you like a baby?" Melina asked sarcastically. "Perhaps" I said smiling. I was going to tell them that I saved us, obviously, then everyone would be so impress that i could counjer a patronous. I smiled to myself. Melina rolled her eyes and began walking down the hill. I followed and we headed back into town arguing about how she was going to tell everyone she saved our skins, and I cowered behind her the whole while. That of course didn't happen either, but we were having fun sharing our over exadurated versions of the story and laughing about it.

"Oh no....Why did I ever listen to you!" I said. To me, my voice sounded like mine. But apparently it changed to the last voice I heard. Kat was dying laughing. "Say something else." She managed to say. I rolled my eyes. "Oh, Im glad your enjoying this." I said. She tried to stiffled a laugh but couldnt hold it in. At that point, Fred and George burst out laughing and I could feel my face turning red. (I laughed the entire time I wrote that. lol) ------------------------ "Oh shut up! You were s-s-s-tuuddering like a frightend child." I said, elbowing him in the side. "I was not. You just want everyone to think you're better than me." Draco argued with a smirk. "Please, Draco. I don't have to tell them for them to know its true." I said smirking as well. He stopped in his tracks. I turned to see his jaw had dropped but he still had a slight smile on his face.
