Disclaimer-I'm not J.K. Rowling so unfortunately...I don't own the Harry Potter series...and as much as I love the series I think I'd probably write it quite differently. Here's my first attempt at a fan-fic.
A/N: I'm rather new to the fanfic world despite being an avid reader. Most of my reading includes classical and fantasy literature. I'd really love to hear/read your input and thoughts. Please let me know if the format etc. is correct.
Discovery
As she stomped down another corridor, Hermione realized that she hadn't thought things could go so wrong in a matter of minutes. One moment everything was the same and the next moment things took such a drastic turn, she could still feel the shock pulsing through her veins. She supposed she should have considered the possibilty, it was an inevitiability if she was being honest to herself. However, before that moment there was nothing to suggest it, she argued back.
She supposed it was her fault for not saying anything earlier, she sighed to herself. But how could he be so oblivious to the obvious, she rolled her eyes as the thought crossed her mind. Then she almost laughed out remembering this was Ron she was talking about, subtle hints just weren't going to cut it. She considered if perhaps, Lavender had tried to suggest her interest in him before taking matters into her own hands...and mouth...*Hermione shuddered as the memory flashed before her eyes*.
It would be a long time before she could unsee that image, it felt like it was burnt into her retina and stuck on replay. She stopped abruptly, taking stock of her surroundings she knew that she had wandered into an unfamiliar area of the castle. Clearly, five years wasn't enough time to explore every corner of the castle, how she wished she had taken the marauders map with her. She really hadn't been paying attention to where her feet had lead her, while her thoughts battled amongst themselves. She just needed some space to clear her head and the best way was to put some space between the common room and herself.
However, wandering around the castle at almost midnight would raise questions, if someone found her. All she had to do was figure out where she was, tracking her way back would be simple enough, she smiled to herself. She hoped everyone was happily tucked in bed as she took a turn into the next corridor. She stopped just before she rounded the bend, hidden by the shadows of the archway. Someone was giggling, a high pitched excited laugh, Peeves? No, it sounded like a girl. A second later she heard a voice say,"Pansy, did you hear something?" Pansy laughed again,"Draco, you know no one comes to this part of the castle besides it quite late. Don't leave me hanging, it's your turn to be nice to me." "Wait here." Hermione heard Draco say as she backed away as quickly and quietly as possible.
This corridor was long with absolutely no place to hide, she knew Malfoy would catch up with her any second and she knew that wouldn't do her any good. She was a few steps away from the next corridor, she scuttled as fast as she could and sighed in relief as she turned the corner. Something, most likely curiosity made her peek around the corner at the long corridor, for a fraction of a second her eyes met Malfoy's. Her eyes widened in shock as Malfoy's narrowed before she ducked her head and made a run for it.
Draco walked to the end of the corridor, frowning, he was certain someone or something had been there mere moments before his arrival. He'd seen its eyes glittering in the darkness and for some absurd reason he thought he recognised them. Only he had no idea whose eyes they were...he guessed Pansy was right he was getting paranoid.
Note- Hello...I know this chapter was short but I'll write a longer one next time. I've not yet finalized on how I want the story to progress. Feedback will really help me know if I'm on the right track. Thanks to everyone who takes the time to read this and review it. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have, I'll try to respond asap.
Lots of love..Esa
