A/N: You people are super awesome. Just in case you didn't know. :)
Thank you so much for reviewing! I'm so happy! And all of the favorites, the story alerts, everything! Thank you so much!
So, this is the next chapter. It's going to be a little bit short, and I apologize.
Draco POV
Even after I came out of the hospital wing the next day, I still had no absolute idea what had happened earlier.
Madame Pomfrey had healed my black eye, but as girly as it sounded, my cheek was still tingling.
"Hello love, how's your eye?" asked a voice that made me slightly darken a shade of red. I turned around to see the smirking face of Hermione.
"Fine, but no thanks to you." I retorted. "What the hell WAS that?"
She pulled out the telescope that had punched me earlier. "The Weasley products are a lot of fun, aren't they?" she asked, fiddling with it. She turned it towards me, and I saw the Weasley logo.
"Wow." I said, annoyed.
She just smiled. "Come on. Care of Magical Creatures is next." she said, pulling my arm along.
Hermione POV
"Com'mon class! We don' have forever, ya know?" called Hagrid. We were huddled behind him, in the Forbbiden Forest. An eerie glow filled the forest. Even though I had been here a million times with Ron and Harry, I still couldn't help but feel a little bit creeped out. The whole place just gave me the creeps.
I turned around to see Harry with Ginny and Ron tagging along, and Draco lazily strolling behind me. I automatically turned around again when I saw Draco.
I still can't believe I actually did that yesterday! I actually kissed him on the cheek! Merlin, what has gotten into me?
"Aw righ' now, ev'ryone, git into pairs o' two, and look aroun'. Rem'ber, those hippogriffs aren' always nice." Hagrid turned around. "Mr. Malfoy, you'd know."
Draco blushed, and everyone started snickering.
"Shut up." he mumbled.
"You know its true." I told him, teasing him.
He just glared at me. "Whatever."
I just smirked his signature smirk, causing him to scowl even harder.
"Any way, Goo' luck. Meet up 'ere in aroun' an 'our." said Hagrid. "But make sure to stay close to this 'rea. There's a lot o' dangerous monsters nearby."
I looked around, but everyone had already partnered up, leaving just me and Draco.
"How is it I'm always stuck with you?" I groaned.
"I was wondering the same. But don't act like you aren't pleased." he said, smirking.
"You think way too highly of yourself." I told him, rolling my eyes.
He flashed a smile. "I know.
I was surprised. "You smile a lot now." I observed.
"Oh. Well, I suppose things have gotten better or something." he mumbled.
I saw a flash from the corner of my eye. "Hippogriff!" I yelled, running after it.
"Hermione! Wait!" Draco ran after me.
We chased it as far as we could, but suddenly, it disappeared.
I was still panting, and I looked up. Draco was standing next to me trying to catch his breath.
"It's...gone..." I wheezed.
"I...know...obviously." he said, in between gasps. "Damn, you couldn't slow down could you?"
"Um, where are we?" I asked. I looked around, but nothing looked familiar.
"Hello?" I yelled. I heard nothing but my own echo spread around throughout the forest.
We were lost.
Crap.
I was utterly horrified. I had no idea what to do.
"What now?" asked Draco.
I shook my head. "I have no idea. I suppose we just start going back from where we came?" I suggested.
Suddenly, two piercing yellow eyes stared from a dark part of the forest. I wondered where I had seen it before.
The creature came closer, and two bronze horns came into the sunlight, and I recognized it immediately.
Adreneline rushed through my veins.
I gasped in horror.
"Oh no."
A/N: So there it is! I'm sorry for leaving a cliffhanger...
Can anyone guess what it is that is coming out? I'll put names of the winners on the next chapter :)
Haha, Hagrid was a lot of fun to put in, but his slang is almost impossible. I'm sorry if you can't read it!
Please review! My next update will be after 245 reviews!
Thanks!
Luv,
