She met him around the corner from the Slytherin Common room, he glanced at her, a clouded vague expression.

Did he know what she was about to do?

If he did, he didn't show it. She set the pace, leading them up the torchlit corridors. Towards the unkown.

The lights are flickering, she's breathing fast. The red doors stand before them, she looks longingly towards him. He is staring back, she knows that look, she's seen it before and knows exactly what it means. She smiles... one of those mischievous smiles. Her hands reach out.. she feels the cold metal of the red door against her. Stealing another quick glance in his direction, courage and desire make her push the door open.

The still flickering lights stopped flickering. She smiles and feels him next to her.

They'd finally made it.

To the library.
