A squirrel scurried across the ground. It ran up a tree and disappeared under all it's green leaves. Hermione smiled to herself. She wanted see if she could locate the little rodent, but she kept walking. She couldn't stop now. Up ahead was a clearing in the woods. She eagerly picked up her pace. She reached the edge, when she saw a little cabin. She looked around, and ran to the cabin. She looked around again, but saw no one. She knocked two loud knocks and two soft ones, turned the knob and stepped inside.

**

Draco was looking out of the window of a small cabin. The cabin was located in a small clearing in the new forest behind Hogwarts. This had been the Dark Forest at one time, but Lord Voldemort had wiped out half of the Dark Forest when he and Harry Potter had duelled there. One of Voldemort's curses had blasted away all the trees. Dumbledore had quickly seeded some of Serty's Seeds, which grew exceptionally fast, to make a new, and nicer, forest. Students were actually allowed in this forest, but not after dark. He was waiting impatiently. Then, he saw her. He stepped away from the window and sat down on the little bed. He waited a few minutes. Finally, he heard two loud and two soft knocks, and the door opened.

**

Hermione closed the door behind her, dropped her cloak and ran toward Draco. He jumped up. They embraced in a passionate kiss. They fell backwards on the bed, but kept on kissing. They broke apart briefly and started kissing again. Draco's hand moved towards the buttons on her shirt. He unbuttoned them, as they were kissing. Hermione shook off her blouse, showing her bra. Hermione unzipped his pants, and soon they were undressed and worked their way under the blankets. Still kissing.

Hermione looked up at the ceiling, thinking. How had she ever gotten messed up in this? How was she going to handle this? It had all been a mistake. She remembered the party. She remember the game. She hadn't had that much to drink. Ron however, had been too drunk to walk without falling. Harry had had a few beers, but he and Hermione didn't overdo it. Harry and her had talked a lot. Ron had gone to smoke some weed with Seamus and a few other friends. Ron came back drunk AND stoned. Pansy Parkinson and Draco Malfoy had been making out the whole night. Cho had come over to Harry. She was also drunk, and didn't know what she was doing. She had fallen on top of him. Harry thought it best to go with her in case she fell again. He winked at Hermione when he said that. Harry had always liked Cho. He had been there for her when her boyfriend Cedric Diggory died. They had become good friends, just friends. Harry secretly, still liked her. Then the "game" started. Two people were randomly selected and put blind folded into a little tent. A lot went on in that tent. People didn't even need blind folds, it was really dark there. The tent was a little ways away from the party, so no one would disturb the people inside. Fred came over to her and took her hand. He led her to a little group. She was given a few more drinks, just to make her really drunk. They thought that if she was drunk, it might be funnier. A blindfold was put over her eyes. They led her to the tent. She was ordered not to talk or they would put a really bad curse on her. Hermione, being as drunk as she was, kept her mouth shut. She was pushed into the tent and found a bed. She sat down. She heard shuffling and knew someone else was in the tent. She stood up and walked towards him. Their hands touched and the jumped together. Glad that they had found someone else. So one thing led to the other, and they had done a lot of "stuff". Hermione didn't, couldn't think clearly about what she was doing. Finally they finished and felt around for their clothes. They found their way out. When she stepped out, she heard a burst of laughter and screams. People yelling: "Oh-my-god! THEY were together??" "Unbelievable!!!" "Haha, those two screwed??" Hermione got scared and apparently, so had the other person. They both ripped off their blindfolds and looked at each other. They both cried out. "I fucked her?" Malfoy said in amazement. "Him?!?!" Hermione cried. They hated each other. This was going to hurt both their reputations. Angrily Hermione let out a shriek and stomped off.

Malfoy just stood there, staring after her in amazement. Crabbe and Goyle came up to him. "Malfoy!" Crabbe said in a husky voice. Draco glanced over at him. He looked back to discover Hermione had dissapeared in the darkness. He slowly walked toward the caste. Crabbe and Goyle at his heels. "How was it?" Goyle asked curiously. "Shut up!" Draco said angrily. "Go back to the party." For the first time in his life, he hadn't meant to sound so harsh. He had liked it. Even after he found out it had been Hermione. He was surprised, he didn't seem to mind it was Hermione. He walked on, reaching the big doors. He walked inside and headed towards the Slytherin house. He thought about Pansy. She'd be mad when she found out, if she hadn't already found out, but he didn't care. He smiled to himself. It might even be fun telling her off. She had always been such a bitch to him. Draco still deep in thought, muttered the password, and the painting swooped open. He stepped into the common room. He looked up. He stopped in his tracks. There was Pansy, standing in the middle of the room, arms across her chest. She had a nasty look on her face. "Hey Pansy." Malfoy said with exaggerated happiness. "Don't pretend you're innocent Draco!" Pansy yelled angrily. "Whatever." Malfoy turned and headed outside again. He suddenly felt the urge to go find Hermione. He didn't know why. "Don't walk out on me!" Pansy cried after him. "I do what I want." Draco snapped. "Yeah, I know. I guess you wanted to screw that slut Hermione!" Draco stopped dead in his tracks. He turned to give her a questioning look. "What the hell are you talking about, Pansy?" Then he turned and ran to the big doors, going back outside. He took a deep breath and forgot about Pansy for a second. That is, untill she started to yell at him again. "You're just a player, Draco. You don't care about anyone!" "Just like you, right?" "Shut up! You're a bastard! I hate you!" "Good for you." Draco looked around to see if he could find Hermione. Ofcourse, she was no where to be seen. "Shut the hell up, Draco! I thought you were going to spend the first time with me?" "You thought wrong." Malfoy snapped back. "Ohmigod!" She let our a roar of anger. "I know what's wrong with you! You're going soft! You want out! You're afraid!" Pansy exclaimed with a smirk on her face. A crowd from the party had gathered around them. Draco ignored her and kept looking around to find Hermione. "Who are you looking for?" Pansy snapped. "That slut? Eh!? Answer me!!" She sounded really mad. Draco gave up his search and turned to face Pansy, but as he did, he received a hard slap across the face. It stung really bad, but he ignored the pain. He shoved her and she fell to the ground. He turned and jogged out of the circle and away from the group that had been surrounding them. He jogged away from them all, and headed towards the forest.

Hermione sat on a fallen tree trunk. She stared up at the moon. She couldn't believe she had done "it", and not even with a really special person. She was in so much trouble. What if she was pregnant? What if he had aids or something? What if..? Was the only question she could ask herself. She sighed and stood up. She wandered deeper into the woods. She wasn't supposed to be here at this time at night, but she wasn't afraid of getting caught. She reached a clearing. She scrunched her eye brows and walked towards the middle of it. There was one big tree there, and beside it, a small cabin. She turned the doorknob, it wasn't locked. "Lumos." She whispered as she took out her wand. A light shone from the end of it. She set it on a small table and saw a bed in the corner. She walked over to it, and laid down. She closed her eyes. Then she fell asleep.

**

Draco had the feeling Hermione would be in the woods, partially because he saw footprints headed that way. He reached a clearing and saw a cabin. There was a faint light on in the cabin. He stopped in front of the door. He softly knocked twice on the door.

**

Inside Hermione woke up. "Come in." She called to the person outside. The door opened and to her surprise Draco walked in. "Oh." She let out a soft cry. "Hi." Draco said quietly. "Hi." Hermione answered doubtfully. Was he going to make fun of her? Was he going to get mad at her? What was he going to say? What was he going to do? Then he said what she had least expected him to say. "Sorry."
