As the Hourglass Turns
Harry glanced around warily as he made his way down the hall. Something was off tonight. Something he couldn't quite place his finger on. Pulling his invisibility cloak closer around his form, he crept towards the library. He couldn't believe he was doing this. Getting a god forsaken book out of the restricted section of the library. What he would do for love sometimes. Turing a corner he came face to face with a couple snogging in the hallway.

Getting extremely embarrassed and coughing politely into his hand. (He had forgotten he was invisible) He mumbled an excuse and started to walk hurriedly past. "H…Harry? Is that you?" Harry froze and whirled around so quickly that his invisibility cloak fell off. There, was Hermoine, with someone currently attached to her neck.

"H…Hermoine? What are you doing?!" Hermoine was about to reply but instead closed her eyes and moaned loudly as her partner obviously hit that 'special' spot on her neck. The leech on her neck turned its head ever so slightly that Harry could see the moonlight streaming in from some previously unmentioned window, and glance off his silvery-white hair. It was Draco! Instantly Harry swelled up like a frog at the indignant thought of Draco kissing Hermoine's neck. And in front of the library no less! That was 'their' kissing spot!

Harry quickly stormed up and grabbed Hermoine by the arm. "How COULD you? How could you just throw away our love like that?" Hermoine looked slightly aghast and confused.

"B…But Harry! I didn't know you loved me!"

"I don't!" At this Hermoine was shocked speechless. Harry broke down crying.

"You know I love Draco with all my heart! How could you?!"

"B…But…H…Harry…" Harry didn't bother to listen to her as he threw her across the hallway and quickly embraced Draco.

"Oh, my love, how could you let her seduce you like that? How could you betray us? You told me you were gay through and through! You PROMISED!!" Harry started bawling into Draco's robe.

"Well…that was a very nice piece of information," Harry froze. The voice. It couldn't be. And with that Harry looked up into a slightly smirking, yet surprised Lucius Malfoy. "I do hope you two invite me to your wedding reception. I'm sure it will be wonderful. Now, I believe my robes have gotten enough watering for tonight Potter. Be off." Harry stumbled backwards, shocked. He looked from Hermoine to Lucius and back again. He gave a slight retching noise in the back of his throat before stumbling off in desperate search of a bathroom or an empty vase. Hermoine looked after him in slight concern as he stumbled off.

"A…Are you sure he'll be ok?" Hermoine glanced over to Lucius who was currently casting a drying charm.

"I hope not."

"That wasn't very nice."

"Am I truly a nice person?"

"Erm…"

"Thought so. Hand me that cloak will you?" Hermoine glanced over at Harry's forgotten Invisibility Cloak. She slowly walked over and grabbed the cloak. "Oh, nevermind! You are so slow sometimes. Accio!" The cloak flew out of her hands and into Lucius' "Idiotic mudblood." Lucius muttered under his breath.

Hermoine pointedly ignored Lucius' insult. "What are you going to do with it?" Lucius smiled evilly.

"Oh, I'm just going to pay my son, a little 'visit'." Before Hermoine could stutter a reply, Lucius disappeared beneath Harry's cloak.

Hermoine stared down the hallway after him and shrugged. "Well, as long as I'm awake, I might as well do something else." And with that Hermoine slowly made her way down to the dungeons.
