Hermione couldn't believe it. Ron, her boyfriend, had cheated on her. She had found him and that thing Lavender going at it in the Room of Requirement. Hermione was in her 8th year at Hogwarts. So many students had been missing their 7th year due to the war against Voldemort that Headmistress McGonagall decided to add one more year. Hermione ran to her secret place, an alcove hidden in the third floor corridor that had once hidden Fluffy. She had concealed a muggle novel, The Lord of the Rings. She would just read until her problems went away….
Hermione woke up to the sound of her name being called in various voices. Suddenly, the curtain hiding her alcove was ripped away by none other than… were her eyes working right? Was that Draco Malfoy? Hermione had had a secret crush on the bleach blonde hottie with stormy grey eyes. When she gazed into Draco's eyes, she saw… Concern? Why was DRACO MALFOY concerned about her? He broke their eye contact, and said, "I'll keep mum…if you meet me at the top of the Astronomy Tower at midnight tonight". She replied, slightly breathlessly with a simple "yes".
She stayed hidden for another hour, telling the searchers that she had been "around". She went up to her dorm to finish reading to await midnight.
