Wow, I haven't touched this fic for over two months. O.O I'm sorry everyone! I've been really, really busy, and I haven't had any time to work on it.

Oh, and I'd like to thank the following people for reviewing:

Jivanna
Sandra Solaria Dees
Trunks (heh heh, maybe I will test the next ch. on you!)
JB
Ruka-Chan
Goddess
Steve
Redhawk
Lori
~*Mistique*~
Ann

I had no one to bounce ideas back from for this ch. ::pouts:: oh well. As before, this story is slash, even though this ch. doesn't really mention it.

DICLAIMER: nothing here is mine, it all belongs to J.K. Rowling, except for the plot (which there isn't really a lot of) and is © to me!

Chapter 2: A Walk in the Darkness

Harry trudged slowly towards the Common Room. He had been kicked out of the library by Madame Pince around 10 because he hadn't been doing anything in particular. He didn't really want to talk to Hermione and Ron right now, so he decided that he would go up to his dormitory as discreetly as possible.

As he neared the Fat Lady, he muttered "Butterbeer" and climbed through the portrait hole. He peered cautiously into the Common Room. Apparently, it was deserted except for Hermione and Ron playing wizard chess. They appeared to be intently concentrating on their game, so Harry wasn't particularly worried about catching their attention. He slipped quietly into the dorm, grabbed his invisibility cloak, and quietly made his way back to the hall with no one the wiser.

Harry slowly wandered the halls of Hogwarts, not going in any particular direction. He felt like he was…suffocating. The walls seemed to be closing in on him. He needed to run…free himself of the feeling of helplessness. And he did…going faster and faster. Blindly running. Then -

CRASH!

He had ran into something, his invisibility cloak being pulled off in the process. Harry then heard a muffled shout, and got his legs tangled in his cloak, promptly tripping and falling on top of that certain something. Or rather, someone. A certain someone who's surprised stormy-colored eyes belonged to none other than Draco Malfoy.

Okay, okay, so it was really short. I'm really sorreee…but I need ideas! Gah. Feel free to IM me at brokendragon12 anytime if you can help me.

And I just thought of something. For those of you who read "One More Chance" this could be a continuation of it except from Harry's PoV.
