Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter in any way shape or form and all that other stuff. You guys know the drill. Now on to the good part.

- Chapter 1 -

Light eyes followed the dark haired boy as he walked down the dark, gloomy hallway with the cloud of potions homework visibly weighing him down. The owner of the eyes smirked as he found joy in the fact of Potter's unawareness of him. He quietly came out of his small hiding space and started following the boy with the green eyes.

Due to his training with the Dark Lord, Draco was as silent as a patronus as he glided along the musky hallway floor.

'Not long now' he thought, 'only a few more months and I will be free'.

His slight smirk got even wider as Potter turned the corner heading towards the Gryfindor Tower. However his triumphant mood did not last for long. As he turned the corner he saw Potter having a conversation with that dreadful mudblood.

Immediately he whipped back around the corner and listened intently for any disruptions in the conversation down the hallway. Thankfully, there were none. He cursed under his breath and suddenly the thought of a Disillusionment Charm. He mentally kicked himself. The Dark Lord trained him himself. Such petty mistakes are not acceptable from him.

"No… I just don't get it!" Potter was saying

"Its really not that complicated Harry," the mublood said "you're just over thinking it."

"Yeah… that's easy for you to say" Harry mumbled in reply.

Finally, after what seemed like an hour, the Potter and Mublood finally dispersed. He rounded the corner and searched for Potter. Just in time he saw Potter's cloak swish around yet another turn.

Quietly and quickly, Draco resumed his pursuit.
