The fifth year Gryffindor girls lay awake talking. Parvati and Lavender,
were, as per usual, discussing divination, Hermione, Laura, Alex and
Sierra, meanwhile, were talking about boys.
They all had boyfriends, but they still mused over other crushes besides; Hermione had been dating Viktor Krum for almost a year now, but was hinting she liked somebody at Hogwarts, though, much to the other girls dismay, she wouldn't say who. Laura was dating Fred Weasley, Sierra had been with Seamus Finnegan for six months now, and Alex had only been going out with Harry Potter for two days.
"Come on Hermione!" Sierra said frustrated, "Who is it?"
"I really can't tell you…it's just a stupid crush, I just get you know, 'the tingles' for him…it's nothing. And anyway, he has a girlfriend already."
"Do you know him well?" Laura asked,
"Yes." Hermione replied, Alex giggled, obviously thinking she'd cracked it,
"Is it a Weasley?" Hermione rolled her eyes, though nobody could see it in the darkness,
"Of course it's not a Weasley!" She said, and they all laughed.
"It's not, Harry, is it?" Alex said quietly.
"No, no, it's not Alex." She said,
Then there was a chorus of, "Well then who is it?!" Hermione ignored them and went to sleep.

Meanwhile, two people were sat in the Slytherin common room, Draco and Gloria. They were just looking at one another.
"Where were you last night?" Gloria asked, Draco flicked his grey eyes around the room, so that he didn't meet her gaze.
"I had to do some work for my father." He said, and for a second he was worried she didn't believe him, but then she got up and sat on his knee, looking into his eyes as to make sure once more he wasn't lying.
"Okay." She said, and she bent her head down, catching his lips with hers. She parted his mouth with her tongue and probed inside.
He had got away with it again.

Harry and Alex sat on one of the benches at break time, silently.
"Wow, we have a lot to talk about." She said, Harry smiled,
"I like this." He said looking up at her, "It's nice. Just sitting – I feel comfortable with you. He said, and he kissed her on the cheek; something he thought was quite brave of him, Alex blushed.
"Thanks." She muttered.
They sat in silence for a minute as Harry watched Alex plait her long blonde hair. Then Ron came running over.
"Harry!" He panted, he was obviously out of breath, "Malfoy-is-in-Snape's- office-with-Snape-McGonagall-Dumbledore-and-Gloria!"
Harry and Alex exchanged confused glances, "So?" Alex said,
"So they might be expelled!" Ron said enthusiastically, having now regained his breath, "They were caught having sex in the Slytherin common room last night!"
"You're joking?!" Alex and Harry exclaimed,
"Nope!" Ron said, grinning,
"But he's not entirely telling the truth either." Came a different voice, it was Blade, that weird Slytherin girl,
"Well that's what I heard!" Ron said, huffily,
"They were just making out…" Blade said in her spooky drawl, "So I sincerely doubt they'll e expelled." And she walked of again, her rat, Chester following obediently at her heels.
"Damn it!" Ron said, "So close!"
