Haha I still dont know why I'm doing this. Also, I'm not sure how to make her vampire-ness subtle???

I woke up the next morning in darkness, to the continual sound of yesterday's rain-snow combination and the gentle sigh of my roommates breathing. After a moment of thought and a quick sip of the blood I keep by my coffin, I worked my way out of my velvet lined pall and inspected my wardrobe. Planning for today's always stale classes, I selected my most beloved outfit; a well worn faux leather dress, netted tights, and black, laced combat boots. As I laced up my shoes, my roommate, Willow, awoke and flashed a fanged smile at me.

Putting on our makeup and getting ready to leave, we gossiped about our daily routines as well as the other students, until she dropped something on me.

"So Ebony... I saw you talking to Draco yesterday!" Willow exclaimed.

"Yeah? So?" I blushed, nearly tripping on our way out of the common room.

She pressed, "Do you like him?"

I almost choked and howled out, "No!"

Unfortunately, we had just walked into the Great Hall, and I saw almost all the students swivel at my outburst. Hundreds of eyes bore into me as I sat down and dissected the wood grained table in front of me. As conversation resumed, someone sat down across from me and I glanced up. Draco Mallow sat in front of me, looking amused, and I shot up.

"Hey" He smirked.

I tried to regain my composure and replied, "Hey, what's up?"

"Well, I heard Good Charlotte is playing in Hogsmeade tonight..."

I was stunned. One of my favorite bands was performing just down the road, and tonight of all nights!

"Oh. My. God!" I nearly gagged at the high pitch of my voice. Luckily, Draco didn't seem to notice and continued.

"Yeah. I have an extra ticket, and I wanted you to come with me."

I gasped.
