The moon was high tonight. The wind blew gently between the trees, and besides that, all was quiet. No one was in sight as he gazed from inside the castle, peering through one of Hogwarts many windows. He liked it here. No one bothered him and the corridor was on the seventh floor and not many students, or staff members, wanted to venture that many stairs unless for classes. Here he didn't have to be worried about being snuked on or have to watch his back and keep in check his emotions. Here nobody would judge him, there wasn't anyone there to. But that didn't stop him from being wary. Every creek that was made was followed by a jump from himself. Every light that did not fit in with the others were taken as a shadow and he would suck in his chest and try to blend in with the walls. But nothing came. After being frozen for five minutes he would relax, but as soon as something else happened he was back as a statue.

But tonight something strange happened. As his eyes wondered around the Hogwarts grounds, he felt the air shift around him. His shoulders went rigid and he squeezed his eyes tightly as if he did it hard enough he would disappear. Not a word was said, not a movement to leave or come closer, but the feeling of being watched stayed with him. Slowly, he turned around, reaching for his wand on the window pane at the same time. He opened his eyes.

Before him stood a short girl, her hair was wild but not in a messy way, she looked him in the eye, though if she was seeing him, he wasn't so sure. Her eyes were dreamy and they seemed to look pass him to a place he couldn't see. She wore no shoes, but he could tell she was cold by the goosebumps on her arms. She wore no jacket. On her blouse stood the proud symbol of Ravenclaw. She smiled.

"Hello," she said tilting her head to the side as if trying to get a better look at him even though they were standing quite close for his liking and the moons full moon light shown on them with an intensity so much purer then that of the suns. Forgetting the manors he was raised to use, he sneered at the girl, probaly a year younger then himself. He stood two feet taller than her and he looked down to her.

"What is it that you're doing so late at night? It's late pass curfew. I should be taking points off," he said looking pass her shoulder not quite comfortable with looking at her eyes.

"I followed the nargles. They like to mess with people's minds. I thought I would help the person who turned victim," she said ignoring his threat to take points from her house. She turned her gaze to the window and humed serenly.

"It's a full moon, they are very hyper this time of month you would be best if you wore your protection." And she tucked some hair behind her ear giving him a full view of her radish earrings. Not making a rude comment like he usually would, he sighed instead. He was to tired for this and just wanted to be left alone, not talk about nargles.

"Look, I'm going to give you a warning, but if i catch you out after curfew it's detention, got it."

"Got what?" She asked confusedly. She checked her hands and pockets, then turned to look at him, her face relaxed.

"No I don't have it, sorry. But I better get going. The higgilimpuffs senses you need to go. Bye Draco." And she skipped in the opposite way she came. It wasn't until he was in bed did Draco realize that the strange girl knew his name, but he did not know hers.
