Draco woke up in the middle of the night to feel a cold body pressing against his.

Hermione lay next to him shivering. He shook her to wake her up. She groaned. "What?"

she asked. "You okay? Why are you in here? You are freezing," he said. "Someone was

following me. . . I didn't know what to do and I came in here. Of course, I used a spell. . .

It is cold in here," she said. "Of course, I'm in Slytherin, what did you expect?" he joked.

He was benign to her about it. She smiled. "I'm going to my room, would you like to

come?" "Sure," he said as he followed her out of the room. Chris grinned wickedly

seeing Hermione and Draco walk out of his room in the middle of the night. Andrew and

him were up playing wizard's chess again. "Have fun?" Chris asked. "We didn't do

anything. I went into his room because someone was following me, I was scared. Give

me a break," Hermione said. Chris still smiled. "Get your brain out of the gutters, you

dolt," she said. "Sure..." he said. Hermione didn't want to bring Draco into her room

anymore. Knowing Chris and Andrew, that wasn't the smartest thing to do. She plopped

down onto a chair and Draco sat next to her. They stayed up and watched Chris and

Andrew play chess. After a while Hermione drifted off to sleep on top of Draco.

"Whose there?" No one answered. The room was cold and dark. Hermione sat there

alone. Someone was near, but not visible. She heard a faint clink from the far end of the

room. The person was getting closer. She began screaming.

***

"Wake up 'Mione!" Draco practically yelled and shook Hermione. "You were screaming,

what's wrong?" Draco asked. He caressed her skin. She looked up at him. "I don't know

what happened. Someone was there..." she trailed off. "It was a dream, calm down," he

said soothing her.



A/N - Mwahahaha - benign is a Wordly Wise word for this week! The example said something like "Harry was benign to Laura" so, it was perfect, had to use it. It was a sign from God! Sorry, lol. =) I hope this chapter is long enough for ya, it is longer than the previous two, I hope to add more soon.
