You place back and forward in the Slytherin girl's dormitory. "No, no, no no no no no no no. I can't be attracted to...to him! There's no way. That potion, it's...it's rigged or something." You rant. Daphne looks at you from her bed with a bored expression. "And why exactly can't you be attracted to him?" She asks. "I can't because Draco's...he's...um..." You begin. "Handsome, tall, lean, physically fit, cunning, smart, and the most beautiful being on earth?" Daphne finishes for you, raising a brow. You shake your head. "I can't because Draco's, well, he's Draco!" You continue pacing. "What do you have against Draco that you couldn't possibly be attracted to him?" Daphne asks.

"I...I don't know! I guess I...and him...and...UGH!" You flop face down on your bed. Daphne taps your shoulder. You just groan. "Sarafina, darling, you two are friends, right?" You mumble against the sheets. "Eif fef fo." Daphne taps you again. "Sarafina, I don't understand a word you're saying." Daphne says gently. You roll over and turn your head towards her. "I said I guess so." You say. "And we already know he likes you, so..." Daphne starts. "So what?" You ask, not knowing what she was implying. "Try going out on a date with him. If you like it, then you have him as a choice, if you don't, that's alright, plenty of fish in the sea." Daphne explains.

"Do I have to go on a date with him?" You ask her. "If you want to find out whether that amortentia was right or not, then yes. If you don't want to find out, then I guess you'll never know." Daphne shrugs. You glance up at the ceiling, as if it held the answers you were looking for. "Fine. I'll go on a date. But only one." You say, holding up one finger. "Fine by me," Daphne says, getting up from the bed. "Where are you going?" You ask, trailing after her. "Library. Cedric asked me to meet him there." She says with a smile. "Well at least someone's having the time of their lives," You say sarcasm lacing your voice. Daphne gives you a smile and a quick hug before flouncing out the door.

You lie back down on your bed, thinking for a moment. "Go...and then he...yeah, and then I...oh, to hell with it. Here goes everything." You say to yourself, apparating to the boy's dormitory. You stumble a little once you land and are glad to find Draco is the only one there. "Brennan? What are you doing back here?" Draco asks, making his way towards you. "I-uh, I..." You stammer, unable to get a proper sentence out. As he gets closer, you notice he's wearing a mask over his nose and mouth. You sniff the air. "Wh-what is that...smell?" You ask, before feeling your head droop down and everything becomes dark.

You wake up later, finding yourself in a rather comfortable bed. You open your eyes slowly, seeing someone sitting next to you on the bed. You see a familiar brown haired, blue eyed young man. "Cassian? What are you doing here?" You ask drowsily, reaching out your hand. But then you remember something and your hand flinches back. "No, go away. Leave me alone," You say softly before falling asleep again.

You fully wake a good hour after that. You turn to your right and see Draco sitting on a stool, hunched over something. He glances over at you and sees you looking at him. "Brennan, are you alright?" You rub your left eye, sitting up in the bed. "What happened?" You ask him. "Oh, I was playing around with some potions and I came out with this powerful sleep potion, apparently, because you were out for a good three hours." Draco explains. He turns his attention back to what he was doing but then stopped and turns his attention back to you.

"On that note, you woke briefly during your sleep and you called me 'Cassian'. Who's that?" Realization strikes you. It wasn't Cassian sitting next to you earlier. It was Draco. "Uh, he's...he's no one." You manage to say, still feeling a bit drowsy. "Brennan, just tell me. I'd like to know," He says softly. You sigh. "You're going to have to win my answer then," You reply. Draco looks at you. "What do you mean by 'win your answer'?" He asks. "We're going to play a game. I win, I don't have to say anything to you. You win, I'll tell you who Cassian is." You explain. 

Draco thinks for a moment before nodding. "Deal. So what's the game?" You smirk. "Staring contest. Simple." You say with a shrug. Draco looks at you questionably for a second before turning to face you. "If you say so," He shrugs. You count down. "Three...two...one...go!" You and Draco stare into each other's eyes intently, both of you laser focused on winning. But you know how to get him. You place your right hand under your chin,your knuckles touching the edge of your chin. Your pointer finger rises and you trace it along your jawline before placing your hand back under your chin, staring intensely at him all the while. No response. Not even a flinch.

Your eyes travel over his features, his silver-gray eyes, platinum blonde hair and diamond face shape. You can't think of anything else to provoke him, so you speak. "Hope you enjoy losing, Malfoy." You say, smirking. "Not as much as you, Brennan." He says back, not even moving an inch. "Not even after I beat you in the duel?" You ask. "You didn't beat me, you froze me, but your arm was broken, courtesy of yours truly." He says, cracking a smile. "And I believe I'm a gentleman for declaring you winner, as I easily could've thawed myself. You, however, had a broken arm and would've been rendered useless. Therefore, I, in terms of the dueling rules, won, and not you." He finishes. You stare at him, shocked. Forgetting the game in that moment, you blinked, and Draco saw. "And I win, again." He says, smiling. "So tell me, Brennan. Who is Cassian?" He asks, looking you in the eye. You take a deep breath. "He's..." You start. "I'm waiting, Brennan." Draco says impatiently. You blurt it out.

"Cassian is my ex!"
