"Where exactly are we going?" Draco asks me sounding highly inquisitive as I pull him down the hallway.

"Shh..." I say as I hold one finger up to my lips.

Where could we go to be alone? I could try and get us into the Gryffindor Common Room but it most likely wouldn't be happening, not with the fat lady guarding the door.

I stop and think about other places.

"Leianna...?" Draco questions.

"I just wanted to find a place we can be alone," I explain taking his hands in mine. I hated the fact that I had no idea where we could go.

I look up and he had a curious look in his eyes. It was as if he was debating on something.

"Come on, I know where we can go," he finally says tightening his grip on my hand.

He leads me down some hallways until we were near the cellars of the school.

It wasn't until we were at a specific wall that I knew where he was taking me.

"The Slytherin Common Room?" I ask, "Seriously?"

He rolls his eyes, "I know there will be no one down here," he explains.

He then turns to the gate, "Salazar," he spoke the password and I watched the wall formed into an entrance.

"Amazing," was all I say.

He grabs my hand and leads me inside.

I have to give credit to the Sytherins, they knew how to decorate.

The common room was amazing. Where it was partway under the lake the light had a green glow to it.

"Okay, no fair," I state as I look around, "Your common room is more.... Relaxing and bigger."

Draco laughs lightly, "Jealous much?"

"Kind of," I reply looking around more.

"So why exactly did you want us to be alone?" he questions his tone changing from playful to serious.

I look at him and debate whether to say it or not. "Where is your room?" I ask him instead trying to fight back the flutters forming in my stomach.

Another confused look crosses his face, "This way."

He leads me into a room and I watch as he walks over to what I am assuming as his area of the room. Before he turns around I reach behind me and lock the door.

My hands were shaking with each step I took as I made my way over to him.

"It's a bit of a mess, I didn't clean up in the rush to get to the dance," he babbles.

I walk up behind him and place my hand on his shoulder.

He turns around facing me and I step closer to him.

I slide my hand down his shoulders to rest on his biceps.

"Can I ask you something?" I question him as I look up into his eyes.

He smiles lightly, "I guess so." He lifts his hands to my waist.

"Why me Draco, why did you choose to pursue me like you did?" I ask him, "Especially after how much we hated each other in the beginning."

He looks a little taken back by my question. "I don't know, I guess it was in part the fact you fought so hard to keep me away."

I couldn't help but laugh, "And here we are," I manage to say even though the fact I felt like I might faint by what I was planning to do next.

"Here we are," he repeats pulling me to closer to him.

"Now why don't you tell me why you wanted to talk to me so bad."

"I didn't want to... talk," I say looking up at him.

Before he could respond I kiss him.

I move my hands from his arms to the inside of his tuxedo where I, with shaking hands, begin pushing it off.

He allows me to and his hands automatically go back to my waist where he pulls me to him again.

I then move my hands to his shirt and try to untuck it. He breaks the kiss, we both were panting from the kiss.

"Are you sure about this?" he questions me. I look up at him and I could see the desire in his eyes, but he still stopped to ask me.

"Yes, I'm sure," I reply and it was the truth. I loved him heart and soul.

He didn't waste any time, he crushes his lips back to mine.

All the nervousness I was feeling vanished to be replaced with need. It consumed me as I faded into complete bliss.

As I laid in his arms I couldn't help but feel I made the right decision. I had given him all of me and he had done the same. Everything was perfect.

*************************************************

Blaise P.O.V

Damn him... damn him and his always need to win.

I was frustrated, I thought this was the opportunity to finally win, who knew Sweary would be so naïve to fall for his charm.

I watch as they walk off the dance floor and out the doors.

I wanted to stop them but I couldn't interfere. Instead, I follow them.

I watch as the start towards the stairs but then stop. I slip behind a statue to where they couldn't see me.

"Leianna...?" Draco questions her.

"I just wanted to find a place we can be alone," she tells him, her voice quiet.

"Come on, I know where we can go," he finally says to her. He leads her down towards our dorms.

Damn him, he's taking her to the Slytherin Common Room.

I turn back around and head back towards the dance room.

That was the Slytherin Common Room, not a place for him to take a Gryffindor so he could shag her.

I hated that he always seemed to get what he wanted and he did whatever it took to get it.

At the entrance, I find Crabbe and Goyle watching the other party goers. I stop beside them and lean against the wall.

There was no stopping him he was going to win, if only....

My eyes widen, of course, why I didn't think of it before, I mean I knew I was going to lose but this would crush his victory.

I smile as a new idea came to my mind. I look over to the victim I will be using.

As I thought, he had a sadden look on his face, he must have seen the same thing I did.

I watch as he walks out another exit.

"Crabbe, Goyle," I say to the boys who were right behind me. Funny how they have been following me since their fearless leader abandoned them, "Follow me," I order them as I start walking past the other students to where I had just seen Weasley exit. I walk out into the hallway and enter the bathroom where I saw George Weasley just enter moments before.

*************************************************

George Weasley....

I felt as if my heart had been ripped out of my chest.

All the fight I had in me to win her back vanished. I knew now that couldn't happen; I will always be the friend now.

I place my hands on both sides of the sink trying to fight against my emotions.

I hear the sound of someone fixing to come in and I panic. It was probably Fred checking on me and I didn't want him to see me like this, a pathetic ex-boyfriend still whining over a girl that broke his heart.

I turn and go inside a stall, not wanting any confrontation.

"So what's going on Blaise?" I hear someone say.

Great, it was Draco's friends.

"Nothing, I was just giving time for Draco to finish what he was doing so we can go back to the dorms," he replies to the other.

I felt a fresh pang in my heart. They seemed to have noticed as well Leianna leaving with Draco. I listen closely to see what else they say.

"What's Draco doing Blaise?"

"Oh he's probably got that stupid Gryffindor in his bed right now." I bite down a remark and remain still.

"Well that must suck for you," the other says, "Doesn't that mean he will win?"

Okay, what the hell were they talking about?

"Sadly yes, he wins the bet," Blaise replies.

Realization dawned on me, that's why Draco was being so nice to Leianna, she was a bet he made with his friends.

Anger coursed through me. He took her away from me because of a bet, and now he was fixing to destroy her.

I push open the stall door and walk out. I grab Blaise and slam him up against the wall, "Tell me everything, now."

***************************************

Leianna....

"Leianna," Draco says as I laid across his chest in a daze.

"Hmmm..."

"We better start heading back," he says as he runs his hands up and down my back.

"I don't want to," I tell him as I snuggle in closer.

"I don't' want to either but I think we have to, the dance is almost over," he explains.

I lift my head up, "I wish I could freeze time," I say to him.

"Oh believe me, I wish I could too," he agrees smiling down at me. He then looks up, "But we can't and the dance is fixing to end, students will be heading back to their rooms" he adds.

I sigh and bury my face into his chest, "Fine."

I hear him laugh at me.

As much as I didn't want to I sit up and reach for my dress.

It took longer to get it back on then it had been to get it off. In-between every item we put back on was another kissing session.

We walked hand in hand through the door and back towards the exit.

"I love you," I whisper to him as I wrap my arms around his waist.

"I love you too," he replies but there was something in his voice that seemed a little off.

We exit the Slytherin Common Room and just as we were fixing to start walking he stops me.

"Leianna, there is something I need to tell you," he says sounding nervous. There was something in the way he was looking at me made me worried.

"Why, what's wrong Draco?"

"There something you need to know, and let me say right off that...." He went to say more but it was cut short by someone yelling his name.

"Draco!" they yell again.

I turn around; I knew who it was, "George?"

George walks up to where Draco and I were standing and says nothing; instead he punches Draco straight in the face sending him falling to the floor.

"What the hell George," I yell as I bend down to Draco, "What is a matter with you?"

I was going to kick his ass for this.

"Are you okay?" I ask as I put my arm around Draco to help him up.

"Tell her Draco, tell her about the bet with your friends," George says fuming.

I look at him questioningly, "What are you babbling about George?"

"He played you Leianna," George replies.

I turn to Draco, "What is he talking about?"

"Tell her Draco, tell her how you made a bet with Blaise that you could sleep with her."

My eyes widen and I look at Draco.

"Do you deny it Draco?" George asks him.

I look at George again then turn and face Draco waiting for him to tell George it was all a lie but instead Draco just looks at me with a pained expression.

"Draco, it is a lie isn't it?"

"It's true," he finally says, "But it only started out as that."

I look at him in dumbfounded, "I was a bet?" I question as I back away from him.

"Dammit didn't you hear what I said, it was that in the beginning, but along the way I fell in love with you," he says as he reaches out towards me, but I push his hands away.

"I was a bet," I say again still shocked, "you bet that you could sleep with me, that's low Draco, even for you."

"Leianna please let me explain," he begs.

"Explain what exactly, how you pretended to like me all this time, and made me fall in love with you?" I ask him, "Well I hope you're happy, I hope the prize for winning is something grand."

"Leianna," he pleads.

"No," I say shaking my head as tears begin to fall down my face, "I never want to see you again," I tell him as I turn and run.

I wanted to die, I wanted to leave this school and never come back. Hurt weighed down on me like a ton of bricks but I kept going.

I heard someone behind me yelling my name but I don't stop. I keep going, I run past where the dance was being held, and out the main entrance doors and I collapse near the gate sobbing loudly.

"Leianna," I hear George say breathlessly behind me. It was him following me the whole time.

I don't turn around, "Just leave me alone,please."

Instead of listening he comes over and sits down beside me placing a hand on my back.

"Leianna, I'm sorry you found out like that. I was just so angry when I overhead his friends."

"You have nothing to be sorry for," I tell him, "I should be the one sorry."

"Leianna don't say that," he argues.

I felt a headache coming on but I still couldn't stop crying.

"Come here," I hear him say to me.

I look over at him and he had his arms opened.

I don't' pause as I fall into them sobbing even more loudly then before.
