7:45pm 'Come on!' I urged the clock. 7:45pm on Friday night, fifteen minutes until my date with Draco. Tick Tick. 'Arrggh!' I yelled, standing up from the couch. I turned to see Harry, watching me yell and scream. He tipped his head to the side and smiled. 'That won't make it any quicker!' He said. 'You know...I sit there and urge the clock too...and that makes it slower.'

I smiled sheepishly. 'Right...' I said, motioning for Harry to come and sit. He walked over and sat down. I then sat down. 'What are you waiting for anyway?' He asked curiously as I turned to him. 'Uh...my date with Draco.' He smiled. 'And where is that gentleman taking you?' He asked.

I shrugged. 'He told me to meet him in the Entrance Hall at 8:00pm. That's it.' Harry nodded. 'Maybe some classroom in the school, since you first kissed in one!' I glared at Harry and punched him in the arm. He chuckled and looked up at the clock. 'Well that wasted ten minutes!' He exclaimed, turning to face me again.

I looked over at the clock and it was, in fact, 7:55! I beamed at the clock and then turned to Harry. 'I'm sorry to interrupt out lovely chat but I have a date to get to!' Harry nodded and pointed to the Fat Lady. 'What are you waiting for?' I waved at Harry and gave him a quick hug. 'Thanks!' I whispered as I pulled away. 'Your welcome. Now go!' I smiled once more before rushing through the portrait hole.

'Took your time!' I turned to see Draco leaning against the wall. I looked at my watch. 'It's not even eight yet!' He chuckled. 'I've been here since six thirty, waiting for you!' I gaped at him. 'You've got to be kidding me!' Draco shook his head. I couldn't wait until eight, so I came down earlier. I beamed.

'So where are we going?' I asked, as he walked over. He smiled and grabbed my hand. 'How does sneaking around sound?' He asked, as I thought it over. 'If you promise not to get us another detention, then hell yeah!' Draco smiled a little and I noticed a healing wound on his right cheek. 'Draco, what had happened when I found you out yesterday?'

He looked a bit scared. 'I'm not sure who it was, but when I rounded the corner, there was a man, who was hidden by a cloak, and he swung his fist at my head and everything went black.' I cringed. 'Do you have any enemies?' I asked quietly, as Draco shook his head.

'Anyway we have our detention tomorrow night in McGonagall's office!' He exclaimed happily, pulling a piece of parchment from his pocket a handed it to me.

Mr Malfoy,

You, Ms Weasley and Mr Finnegan will serve detention tomorrow night in my office. If you have not arrived by eight, then I will track you down and drag you by your ears to Professor Dumbledore's office!

I hope to see you then.

Professor McGonagall.

I smirked and handed the note back. 'We could have loads of fun in detention!' Draco nodded a put the note back in his pocket. 'Are we going to go or not?' He asked, pulling me out of my thoughts. I nodded and we headed off.

'How much further?' I asked, as we walked along the same path we had been walking on for the past ten minutes. 'Just about...here!' He announced and I looked around to see that we were in a town.

'Where are we?' I asked in fascination. Draco smiled down to me. 'A place called Hogsmeade!' I beamed as I spotted a joke shop. 'So this is where Fred and George go all weekend!' I muttered to myself. 'Come on!' Draco urged, letting go of my hand and heading off to a shop.

I hurried quickly and watched him enter a shop. I looked at the sign to see that we were at 'The Three Broomsticks'. I entered, seeing it almost empty. I walked over to the table at which Draco was waiting. There was only one other person in the shop, a young witch, not much older than Charlie.

I looked back at the table to see that Draco had pulled a chair out for me. I smiled up at him and sat down. A waiter walked over and Draco ordered two Butterbeers. 'So Tay, how do you like Hogwarts?' I smirked. 'Well, let's see. I have only been here a week, yet in that week, I have been knocked out,' I took a quick glance at Draco, who looked a little embarrassed, 'been kissed four times, gained two detentions and met two lovely boys!'

Draco blushed a little. 'And how do you like Hogwarts?' I asked as Draco stopped blushing. 'Well I have made friends with the most popular boy in school, and the most beautiful girl in school, and gained two detentions! I think McGonagall is constantly watching us...' I nodded. 'I wouldn't be surprised!'

After drinking four Butterbeers each, and talking for hours, we decided to head back. We decided it would be safer to use a secret passage that the twins had recommended.

As we headed towards The Hogs Head, we heard a voice. It was coming from behind 'The Three Broomsticks'. I decided to check it out, despite Draco's pleas. As I got nearer, I could make out Snape's voice. I leant against the wall closest to the back, listening to the bickering.

'B-but Snape...I-I c-can't t-t-t-ell you h-how to...'

'And why is that?'

'B-b-because I p-p-promised D-dumbledore that I-I wouldn't...'

'Pathetic!'

I gasped. Snape was trying to work out how to do something, but this man wouldn't tell him. How odd.

I quickly hurried back out to Draco and told him everything I had heard. He gasped and told me that we had to get out of there, fast! I looked at him, with a scared look upon my face.

'Draco, what's going on?' I asked as he grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards the Hogs Head. 'Taylor...you're not supposed to know about that!' I screwed up my face. 'Then why do you know?' He stopped and looked at me, with a sad look upon his face. 'Taylor, I have to tell you something really important.'

I was startled by his seriousness but I nodded. 'Taylor, this might shock you, but I have a Dark Mark. My mother and father are both Death Eaters and I'm expected to follow in their footsteps.' My eyes widened. 'Dra-' Draco cut me off. 'Taylor, I know that this new information might make you want to steer clear of one thing, but there is one thing I want you to know before you decide. Taylor, over the past few days, I have gotten the closest to any person, than I have in the past eleven year of my life, and I think I'm falling in love with you...'

I gawked at him and grabbed his hand, which shocked Draco. 'Draco...why would I walk away from you. You are only expected to follow in your parents footsteps, but that doesn't mean you will. I have only known you a week, but that's long enough to tell that you won't be joining your parents! Draco...I love you.' Draco's jaw dropped as he heard the last part of my little speech. 'I love you too.' He replied, lifting his head up to look at me.

'Now we really do have to get out of here, as that's no normal person that Snape is talking to. That is the Dark Lord.' I gasped and quickly hugged Draco. 'Draco...this is bad isn't it! Not only for us, but for Harry as well. Voldemort might try to kill him again!' Draco cringed as I said the Dark Lord's name but nodded in agreement. He quickly pulled me into 'The Hog's Head' which was totally empty. We quickly walked into the back and pushed some barrels out the way, to find a trapdoor.

We managed to pull it open and Draco went first, before calling that it was safe. I took a quick glance around before jumping into the dark tunnel and pulling the door closed. I felt myself slide down for a bit, before running into something. 'Ouch!' I stood up and smiled. 'Did I hit you?' I asked innocently. Draco glared at me, before pushing open the other end of the dark tunnel.

We found ourselves on the seventh floor. I walked out and turned to Draco. 'That was fun!' I exclaimed as Draco smiled. 'I'm glad you liked it.' He replied. I fidgeted slightly. 'I guess I should get back to the common room.' Draco nodded. 'Same.' I looked at Draco's scar before smiling. 'See you tomorrow!' I said brightly as Draco nodded once again. 'Goodnight.' He replied, as he waved and headed off down the corridor.

I smiled, waved and walked off the other way, towards the common room.

A/N: Draco: Well that was fun!

Taylor: Yeah it was!

Harry: Who was that guy that Snape was talking to?

Taylor: We already told you. It was Voldemort.

Hermione and Ron both launch at Taylor

Taylor: What?

Ron: Don't say the name!

Taylor: And why not?

Ron: Because!

Rachos: Guys! Now thankyou time! I would like you all to know that J.K Rowling still made and still owns Harry Potter. I would also like to thank everybody who reviewed and read it and also my ex-boyfriend for giving me the inspiration for this chapter.

Ginny: I can't believe Draco has fallen in love with my cousin! Of all people!

Draco: And what does that mean Weasel?

Ginny glares at Draco

Taylor: Guys! Please. We were calm and you went and ruined it!

Ginny and Draco: Sorry...

Rachos: That was Chapter 11 of 'It must be fate.' I hope you enjoyed it. Please R & R!
