(Prologue)

All was quite as Hermione stirred from her sleep. A hangover was just starting to creep it's way into being.

With a glance at the bedside clock,"Oh shit," was all she uttered as she read 4 am.

She had about a half an hour to get back to Ginny's room before anyone noticed she hadn't slept in her own bed. Slinking like a harlot from beneath the covers, she quickly and quietly got dressed. Hermione cast her gaze to the darkened mirror and did her best to pat down the dishevled curls, into place.

Tip toeing towards the door, a muffled groan caused her to pause as a sad smile curved pouty lips. Red messed hair was all that was seen from beneath the blankets, then with a sigh she slipped from the room.

If only she had stayed just a few seconds longer, she would have seen the clear blue gaze peep out to watch her longingly as she made her escape.
