Late that night Ron and Draco returned to the Gryffindor common room, where

Hermione and Harry were waiting. Harry conjured up a chess board and Harry and Ron

played. Most of the time there was silence except when Harry or Ron moved a chess

piece. "So." Ron began, "You really like Mal-I mean Draco?" "Yes, I do," Hermione

replied then smiled at Draco. Draco looked down at her and smiled back as she moved

closer to him. "I'm sorry Ron," she said. "Why?" he asked. "I know you like me. I like

you too, but as a brother," she said and tried to smile. "Yeah, I suppose you are right," he

said, very unhappily. Hermione stood up. "Okay, well I'm tired. I'm going to bed now.

Good night," she said and left the common room from the portrait, she wanted to take a

long walk to her room. Hermione was very happy and wanted to enjoy a nice relaxing

walk alone. It was late at night, so she didn't expect anyone to be up and awake. She

began hearing footsteps following her. She turned around. "Whose there?" The footsteps

stopped. She thought it was just her imagination and began walking again. The steps

starting again, and they got louder. She began to jog down the hall, so did the footsteps.

She freaked out and ran as fast as she possibly could to the dorms. She tried a spell she

had read about to unlock Draco's door. Luckily, it worked, and she slipped into his room

and got into his bed. She fell asleep quickly and easily.

(update - I edited the chapter)

Yea. I know, (very) short again. but I have a writer's block! Gimme some suggestions

or something, maybe I'll use 'em? I need some inspiration - a stupid car gave me a

headache (don't ask).
