Everyone had left the scene in different directions.

Hermione and Ron had run down one of the corridors to the right.
"Hermione?" Ron panted as they continued running down the corridor. "You really like me?" Hermione acknowledged him but she didn't really want to answer. It was kind of an awkward moment. "Hermione!" Ron said, grabbing her arm he stopped her.
"Oh Ron, I couldn't..." Hermione eventually sighed, "First you seemed like you hated my guts and were always teasing me for the longest time. Then you were just making me plan mad at you for all the stupid things you would say. Then you fell for that blonde nitwit from Beauxbaton and then you were just obsessed with Quidditch and being Keeper and well...you just didn't give me time to breath let alone tell you my feelings!"
"I'm sorry, Herm," Ron sighed, looking down at the ground. "Well, if it's any consolation," Ron started, "Would you like to know that I've liked you too...for a long time." Ron nodded. Hermione smiled at him.
"Really?" she asked, "You sure have a funny way of showing it."
"Well maybe this time it will be a little more obvious," Ron said, he put down the bag of groceries and kissed Hermione on the mouth.
"That better?"
"Works for me," Hermione smiled. There was the sound of clammering footsteps echoing to their left. Ron grabbed the groceries and then they booked it all the way to the common room.

Harry had grabbed Ginny's hand on instinct and had pulled her into a secret dark tunnel that lead all the way to a trap door that lead into the Gryffindor common room. He found it when roaming around with the Marauder's Map. (A/N: By the way...does anyone know if Harry actually got the map back from Mad Eye Moody/Bartimus Crouch Jr.? Because I can't remember it being in there. Anyway, back to the story...) Ginny held on tightly to Harry's arm as he guided her along through the darkness.
"It smells in here," Ginny whispered.
"It used to be a sewage pipe I believe," Harry replied, "I think these are the pipes that the basilisk travelled through during that ordeal with the Chamber of Secrets." Ginny shuddered in remembrance.
"Are you cold?" Harry turned around and asked her. There was a faint blue light so she could see the outline of his face.
"Maybe a little," Ginny said, rubbing her bare arms.
"Here," Harry said, taking off his school robe and putting it on her. Ginny smiled, it was still warm and it smelled like Harry. She sniffed it some more.
"Are you smelling my robes?" Harry asked her. Ginny's face reddened and she was so thankful for the darkness.
"Umm...uhh...what did you say?" she stuttered.
"I love you," Harry laughed standing in front of her.
"I love you too," Ginny sighed. She wrapped the long sleeves of Harry's robes around the back of Harry's neck and kissed him. Harry kissed her back mid-kiss and then he picked her up and carried her in his arms.
"Harry! What are you doing!" Ginny exclaimed surprised as she giggled madly.
"I'm carrying you to the Gryffindor common room my lady," Harry said then he kissed her again. Ginny wrapped her arms around Harry again and leaned against him as he began walking farther down the pipe and Ginny thought that despite the smell, this was the most romantic moment of her entire life.
"Don't bump into anything," she giggled.
"I'm trying not to," Harry replied. Ginny leaned up and kissed him quickly on the mouth and then rested her head against his shoulder savoring the moment.

Heather and Draco had run down a corridor to the left. They kept running until Draco grabbed Heather's hand pulled her back and thrust her up against a wall.
"Ow!" Heather exclaimed grabbing her shoulder, "Damn that hurt! What are you playing at?" Draco put his arms on either side of her so she was trapped. She rose an eyebrow.
"What?" Heather asked as Draco kept looking at her.
"I'm leaving," he said, "I'm going back to my common room because it is far too late and I need to get some sleep."
"Fine," Heather sighed grumpily.
"Look, it's been fun, really it's a blast. Saw Weaslette in skimpy outfit, learned some new things to poke fun at Potter and Weasley with and I got to French kiss a few girls."
"Umm...just one girl," Heather pointed out as her cheeks went a bit pink.
"Fine just one," Draco smirked, "But that's besides the point. Anyway, I'm leaving, goodbye and I'll evidentially see you tomorrow around school. Ta ta." Draco smiled and then started to leave, but Heather grabbed his arm.
"Wait," she said and bit her lip. Draco turned around and rose an eyebrow. Heather walked over to him and planted a short kiss on his lips. "I'll see you tomorrow then," Heather said and looked down and shuffled her feet nervously. Draco smirked at her. He cupped her chin and pulled her head up so he could kiss her back. She started giggling in the middle of the kiss and he would laugh and little and kiss her again. Suddenly they heard a voice coming from down the hall.
"Stupid juvenile kids. Always staying out past hours. I'll catch one of them if it's the last thing I do." Draco and Heather looked at each other.
"Go! Go!" She whispered to Draco pushing him away.
"Come with me," he whispered.
"I can't. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye!" She kissed him one more time before running down a different corridor and Draco ran the other way.

::Back in the common room::
Heather was the last person to come in.
"Where's Malfoy?" Hermione asked.
"He left," Heather sighed.
"Well this game is getting is getting a bit tiring," Ron yawned.
"Yeah, I'm off to bed," Ginny replied, jumping off Harry's lap. She kissed him gently and then headed up to the girls' dorm.
"Me too," Hermione said and then kissed Ron and followed Ginny out.
Parvati and Lavender had kissed their boyfriends as well and went off to bed.
"Night guys," Heather said to the four guys left in the room and she skipped up the stairs to the dorms. The guys eventually agreed they were too tired to stay up any later so they sulked off to bed and went to sleep.
In the end, it was an eventful night, except for Filch who grumbled around still in search for any pesky students causing troubles amongst the halls.
"Pesky Studentsess. I'll catches them one days. Right my preciousses?" Filch said, holding Mrs. Norris in his arms.
"Me-ow."
