Swept Away

Swept Away: Chapter 2: Confrontation? I still have Detention.

"In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson."

-Tom Bodett

My head jerked up and I was breathing heavily. The dream from the night before still lingered in my head and I wished it would go away. Dreams of Voldemort and Harry. Draco was slowly waking up too. I was still in his common room. People were up and moving about and I vaguely heard voices. I frowned.

"Oh no! Draco. I'm not supposed to be here!" He stood up the same moment I did. I stretched.

"What time is it?" He asked.

"Umm...." I pulled up his watch. "Almost 7:00. Class starts at 7:05! We're going to be late." I fummed.

"I'm sorry. You fell asleep. Then I fell asleep." He was still grogy, rubbing the back of his neck.

"I have to go!" I said looking around.

"Love you Alicia." He found my hands with his and held them a moment. I smiled.

"Love you too! " He smiled breifly and I kissed his cheek. "I'll see you later okay?" I asked rushing out.

"Yeah. Be careful!" He called after me.

I ran up the stairs and down halls. My brain was working faster than my legs. Students were going every direction. Class was going to start soon. I ran straight into the Gryffindor common room. Harry and Ron were standing by the fireplace. Harry turned to me with his arms cossed. uh-oh. I was going to just ignore him. I was on my way up to the girls dorm.

"Alicia!" Harry yelled. I stopped in my tracks and moaned. " Where were you?!" He demanded.

"Harry listen-" I started with my hands out a little but he interupted me.

"No you listen! I want to know where you sleep last night"

"Harry!" I said my eyes growing at his rude assumption.

"Where did you spend the rest of your night??"

"With Draco..."

"Wha- Alicia- you?" He was stammering looking mad. I rolled my eyes.

"Not like that, if you mean have sex with my boyfriend. " I crossed my arms. He frowned. He opened his mouth to say something then closed it then opened it again.

"Than what happened?" He crossed his own arms.

"I had a very nice evening with him. We danced. Then professor Snape let me into the common room. We had a long coversation and I fell asleep next to him on the couch!" I huffed.

"But you didn't-?"

"No I didn't! Thank you! He's not a pig." Ron laughed in the corner. "Oh shut UP!" I looked at the clock on the wall." Now if you dont mind I need to hurry- It's 7:06 we're late!" Harry looked at the clock. He groaned.

"We'll talk about this later" He said and dashed out the door with Ron.

I went up into the girls dorm. I looked in the mirror. I wasnt going to have time to wash up. I applied more makeup onto my face and pulled my hair back into a pony, leaving the bangs hanging. Then I threw on my robe and buttoned it up. I grabbed my book and quill, I didn't have much time to spare. I had to get to potiens and quick so I ran as fast as I could make my legs go. I reached the class and Proffesor Snape told me to sit down. I sat down quietly and he continued with the lesson.

"Now take out your books and turn to page 603...." He said standing up. I pulled my book towards me glad to have made it to class. Ginny, who was sitting next to me shot me a look and then pointed to my book. It was for charms. I groaned. just what I needed.
