Chapter 3: Suspicious activities

Draco stood in the dark, waiting for the right moment to move again. Minutes passed and he finally walked out of the castle. What the hell are you up to now? Evangelina thought. She followed after him.

It was freezing cold outside. Evangelina saw Draco hiding behind a tree. She crept up behind him and grabbed him,covering his mouth with her hand.

"Shh!it's just me" She whispered in his ear. He felt so warm. She let go of him.

"Kensington, what the hell are you doing out here?" He whispered, suprised to see her.

"I could ask you the same thing" Evangelina said. She looked over his shoulder and saw Harry,Hermione and Ron at Hagrid's hut.

"You were following them?" She said angrily. Draco turned around to see what she was looking. He walked right past Evangelina.

"Draco, wait!" She whispered and ran after him.

"What's the point of this anyway?You could get caught" Evangelina said exasperately. Draco wasn't listening, he slowed down and crept up towards the window.

"Draco, Come on!" She whispered nervously. Evangelina kept looking around, excepting to see Filch or Mcgonagall. He just stared in through the window.

"uh-oh" He said and jumped away from the window.

"what uh-oh?" She asked nervously.

"They saw me!run!" He said and he started running. Evangelina ran after him. Once they were in the castle, they stopped to catch their breath.

"You...go...to Gryffindor common room" Draco said in between breaths. Evangelina nodded and said "Fine and you go back to Slytherin common room".

Draco just nodded. Evangelina took one final look at him, unsure if she should leave him by himself or not, and then she started to run back to the Gryffindor common room.


Evangelina was on the seventh floor and almost to the common room. "Hold it right there" She heard someone say. Evangelina froze. Damn! She thought.

She saw Mrs.Norris and knew automatically who had caught her. "Another one out of bed,eh?" Filch said looking at her. He held his lamp to her face.

"C'mon" He said and he started dragging her by her arm.

"Professor, I got another one" Filch said. Evangelina looked up and saw Harry,Hermione,Ron,Draco and Professor McGonagall staring at her.

"Thank you Filch, Miss Kensington, what were you doing out of bed at this hour?" McGonagall asked her sharply.

"I..uh...couldn't sleep, Professor" Evangelina said nervously.

Evangelina could feel Draco's eyes on her. "Well I'm very disappointed with you, Miss Kensington, You will be serving detention along with Mr Weasely,Potter,Malfoy and Miss Granger". McGonagall said.

"Yes Professor" Evangelina said looking down.

"You all may go back to your common rooms, And I do not want to catch any of you, sneaking around the castle, ever again" McGonagall said. The five of them all turned around and left McGonagall's office.


The Next Night...

"You'll be serving detention with Hagrid tonight, gonna be going into the dark forest" Filch said as they all stood around a campfire.

"The dark forest but there are...werewolves" Draco said nervously. It didn't help that they had just heard a wolf call coming from the Dark Forest.

"Oh there are more then werewolves in there, lad, you be sure of that" Filch said eerily. He loved scaring the childern.

Hagrid came out of his hut, sniffling. Filch looked up at him and said "oh you're not still upset about that bloody dragon are you?You're going into the dark forest after all, got's to have your wits about you".

Hagrid sniffled again and nodded. "Aye, let's go" He said gruffly. Hagrid led them into the dark forest.

"All right, there's something that's been killing unicorns around here, our job is to find the beast, I'm gonna set you up into two groups, Ron,Hermione,Evangelina you're with me, Harry,Malfoy you're together" Hagrid said clutching his bow and arrow.

Evangelina looked over at Draco. He didn't look happy at all. "Fine then I get Fang" Draco said staring at the large dog.

"Fine, just as long as you know, he's a bloody coward" Hagrid said.


"You think they'll be all right?" Evangelina asked nervously as her,Hermione,Ron and Hagrid walked around. "I mean they're just two boys along with a cowardly dog, it's really that safe".

"I'm sure they'll be fine" Hagrid said calmly. They walked around in silence, with Ron jumping at every little noise he heard.

Then all of a sudden, they heard a scream.

"That sounds like Malfoy" Hermione said nervously. Evangelina started running in the direction that the scream had come from.

"Draco!" She yelled.

"Evangelina!Wait for us!" Hermione screamed, as Her,Ron and Hagrid followed after Evangelina. Evangelina ran around frantically, looking for some sign of Draco or Harry. She was suddenly pushed to the ground, by Fang.

"Ugh! Fang get off of me!" She said, disgusted.

"Fang!" She heard Hagrid yell. Fang got off of her and ran towards Hagrid. Draco walked over to her and helped her up. "You alright?" He asked nervously. Evangelina nodded and said "Yeah, you?".

But before she could get an answer, Ron and Hermione ran past them and said "We need to find Harry". They all started running again but they didn't have to look for long. Harry was clutching his arm, and talking to a centaur.

"Firenze" Hagrid said. Evangelina was amazed, she had never seen a centaur.


Back At Hagrid's Hut...

"Are you all alright?" Hagrid said as he put his bow and arrow down. Ron, Hermione and Harry sat down. Draco looked around the small hut, disgusted.

"Yeah we're all fine" Harry said. Hermione looked over at Evangelina and was stunned. Evangelina was leaning on Draco, who had his arm around her.

"Uh, Evangelina, you alright?" Hermione asked quietly. Evangelina looked up at Hermione and realized what She was staring at. Evangelina slid out of Draco's arm and sat down in the armchair.

"Yeah I'm fine" She said nervously. Hermione looked over at Draco. He was staring at Evangelina, with a disappointed look on his face. Evangelina sipped her tea, trying to act as calm as possible.


Back at Gryffindor Common Room,Later that night...

"I'm tired, I'll see you guys tommorow" Evangelina said as she went upstairs to the girl's dormitories.

"Evangelina, wait up!" Hermione said following after her. Evangelina stopped and turned around.

"Can i ask you something?And this might seem a bit strange but...is this something going on between you and Malfoy?" Hermione asked. She seemed hestiant to even get the words out. Evangelina just froze and started laughing hysterically.

"You think...that me...and malfoy?" Evangelina said in between laughs. She tried to calm herself down.

"No,trust me there is nothing going on between us" She said firmly. Hermione seemed relieved and slightly embrassed.

"Oh alright, I'm sorry I even asked it's just.." Hermione said.

"It's ok" Evangelina said. Hermione nodded and walked past her, up to the girls dormitory. There isn't anything going on between me and Draco...is there? Evangelina thought, remembering how he was protective of her and how he had his arm around her.
