Draco's POV

8:00 couldn't come fast enough. Every class seemed to drag by after DADA. I don't think that I was ever so excited to go to detention.

Finally, after an eternity, the time came where Jasmine and I had to go and accept our pointless punishment.

I went down to the common room, and I was unsure whether or not to wait for her in there. I decided to stick it out for a few minutes and see if she would come down.

And sure enough, a few minutes later, she came from the girls' rooms. She didn't notice me at first, so I said hi. She looked surprised to see me waiting for her.

"Oh! Hi Draco," she said to me.

"Hey. I decided to wait for you because I didn't want to walk down there by myself," I said stupidly, making up some excuse.

"Yeah. I guess not."

We walked down to Hagrid's house, under the twilight sky. He was waiting outside for us.

"Wha' did you two do to get yerself a detention with me?" he asked us sharply. I've known for a fact that Hagrid didn't like me much, and I didn't like him either.

Jasmine answered before I could. "We sort of cheated on a pop quiz in Professor Snape's class, and he caught us."

"Well. Tonight I need you two t' go into the Forbidden Forest and do a few things for me," he said. He gave us our tasks and then took us to the edge of the forest.

"Well," I said with a smile, "let's get this done and over with."

She returned the gesture with a broad grin. Her teeth were white and perfectly straight. Dazzling. "Sounds pretty good to me."

And with that, we went off into the Forbidden Forest. I didn't know what this night was going to bring.
