Chapter 10

We All Get Detention

For the few following days Malfoy and I said nothing about the dragon over at Hagrid's hut. The two weeks were nearly up, and I was hoping that Hagrid was getting rid of it. I didn't want to have to worry about anything if I didn't see that dragon, but I just so happened to see it hatch.

I haven't spoken to Harry since Malfoy and I had seen the dragon hatch. Every time I made eye contact with him, he'd tilt his head questionably as if he was asking if I would tell anyone about the dragon. Every time this happened I quickly turned my head away from him, and tried to focus on whatever class we were in.

Then one day, about five before Malfoy and my deadline, Harry took my aside after lunch. Malfoy tried to come but I shook my head signaling that it was okay. I let my brother lead me to a secluded classroom not too far from the Great Hall.

I sat down in the closest empty seat to me. "What do you need?" I asked watching Harry carefully.

"I saw you nine days ago at Hagrid's hut after dark." He stated simply.

"So? You were there too."

"I had a reason to be there."

"Yeah? And what was that for?"

"I needed some questions answered."

"What questions?" I persisted.

"I don't want to tell you, and you better not do anything about Hagrid and the…"

"The dragon?" I asked, "Harry I saw it hatch, and frankly I don't know what I'm going to do about it."

"Please don't tell anyone, we're getting rid of it today." Harry said without realizing what he said. His hands quickly covered his mouth, and his eyes got bigger.

"Thanks for letting me know." I said smirking. I stood up from the chair I had been occupying and left without another word.

I headed towards the common room hoping to run into Malfoy. Instead I found Zabini.

"Hey." He said walking up to me.

"Hi," I said, "Have you seen Malfoy?" I asked.

"No, not since lunch. He might be in the common room though."

"Really? Thanks!" I rushed by Zabini before he could say anything else.

Sure enough there was Malfoy, sitting on one of the couches. I walked up, and sat next to him. He gave me a side glance, and continues his work.

"So guess what I just found out." I said cheerfully.

"What? That your brother wants you to stay away from me?" He sneers back.

"No! I found out that they are planning on getting rid of the dragon tonight." I said watching his face carefully. He turned around quickly, surprise written all over his face.

"Really? Well that is good news." He smirked.

"What are we going to do about it?" I asked grinning.

"I am going to catch Potter in the act, and turn him in of course."

"You mean WE."

"No it's… too dangerous for you to go out at night."

"Whatever, I'm going and there's nothing you can do about it."

"You're not coming."

"Yes I am." I glare at Malfoy until he relents.

Later that night I got out of bed, careful as to not wake anyone else. I creped down the stairs, and fond Malfoy already waiting for me. His face seemed to glow in the moonlight, and I stood and stared for awhile before I approached him.

"You took awhile. Why were you just standing at the bottom of the stairs?" He questioned as soon as he saw me.

"What do you mean?" I defend myself.

"I could hear you breathing." He said simply, "Were you admiring my face?" He smirked.

"You wish." I replied, and walked out of the common room before he could see my face blush.

We didn't talk at all as we walked the empty corridors. I was leading the way towards the Gryffindor common room. I didn't know where else to start, so our best bet was to start there, and hope we see them leave the room.

Lady Luck was on our side. Seconds after we found a good hiding spot, so we could see the common room door, the portrait of the Fat Lady opened and closed. I realized that I had given Harry the cloak, and we would be at a huge disadvantage, that is until I heard Ron mutter something.

"Why do we have to go all the way to the Astronomy tower again?" Ron complained.

"That's where your brother is picking up the dragon Ronald; honestly I don't know why you didn't figure that out by yourself." I heard Hermione sigh quietly.

I turned to Malfoy and grinned. Now we knew exactly where we need to ambush them. Silently we left our hiding spot, and headed towards the Astronomy tower.

Turns out luck decided to leave us, because as soon as we reached the staircase leading to the top of the tower, Professor McGonagall was walking past. I stopped walking the second I saw her, and Malfoy stopped seconds after me. Then we heard a crash coming from behind us. Was that Harry? No it couldn't have been, they should still be getting the dragon from Hagrid.

"Mr. Malfoy and Miss Potter, what are you two doing out of bed this late into the night?" Professor McGonagall asked eying us through her glasses.

"Urm…" was all I could get out. Just then another figure came running into me and Malfoy. I fell over, and landed on Malfoy, with someone else on my legs.

I looked down, and Malfoy's face was inches from mine, and I could feel heat rushing into my cheeks. I tried rolling over, but the person on my legs made that impossible. After a few moments of struggling I felt the weight on my leg lift. Sighing with relief I pushed myself off of Malfoy, a little disappointed I might add, and stood up to face McGonagall.

"Well, Mr. Longbottom I am glad you could join us." She said looking at Neville who was still on the floor. "As for you two," She started turning to face Malfoy and me, "I will want a full explanation."

"We were trying to find Harry Potter Professor." Malfoy said quickly.

"He should be in bed."

"He told me that he was leaving to go to the Astronomy tower tonight." I added quickly, "Not only that, but he was helping Hagrid get rid of an illegal dragon."

"It's true; I tried stopping him from leaving the common room." Neville said as he stood up. Was he helping us?

"Well, we'll just wait and find out now won't we?" McGonagall said. She turned and walked out of the hall, and beckoned for us to follow. I looked at Malfoy unsure, and he nodded. We started walking forwards together.

After a few minutes of following McGonagall we reached our destination. We were in an empty classroom that was filled with dust. "Wait here and I'll go see if Mr. Potter is going to show up at the Astronomy tower." She said leaving the three of us alone.

It felt like hours pasted before Professor McGonagall returned with Harry, Ron and Hermione in tow. I smiled triumphantly, and glanced at Malfoy, who was also smiling. Harry gave me a glance that said, 'Why?' I shrugged, and turned away.

"For six of you, I'll be giving you detention." Professor McGonagall said.

I looked up surprised. "Why us?" I gestured to Malfoy, Neville, and me.

"You guys were out of bed passed curfew as well." She explained simply.

"That's not fair; we were trying to…help you." Malfoy said.

"Help me with what Mr. Malfoy?"

"With catching other students out of bed." He said like it didn't need explaining.

"I don't think so. All of you will have detention tomorrow night with Hagrid. Meet in the Entrance Hall at seven. Make sure you dress warmly, and go to bed." She finished sternly.

I stood up silently, grabbed Malfoy's hand, and left the room without another word. Once out in the hall, I let Malfoy's hand go, not that I wanted to, and continued walking. I stopped after a moment when I realized Malfoy wasn't following me anymore. I turned and looked at him still standing where I had let his hand go.

"What's wrong?" I asked walking towards him.

"You held my hand!" he teased hold his hand out to me again.

"It's not like you haven't held my hand." I accused.

"I was teasing you." He pointed out smiling.

"I know." I said, "If you're not coming, I'll see you tomorrow morning." I finished walking towards the common room again.

AN: So what do you think? Please let me know! I would love to hear what you guys think, and what you guys think I could do better on. Besides maybe if I got more review, I would update faster…. *hint hint* until next time!
