Hello. I return! Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! Okay I'm done now.
Did I already mention that this was a sequel to my previous story the Field
Trip. If not, it is. Keep sending me guesses! On to the story!
Hermione moved closer to Draco and he instantly wrapped his arms around her protectively.
He leaned down "You're under my protection Hermione." Draco assured her.
She laughed "That's supposed to make me feel better?" Her voice quivered with fear.
He wasn't fooled by her flippant words. She was scared, she was trembling and her knees were buckled. He shook his head.
Her eyes flashed at him "Don't shake your head at me! If a cold blooded killer said they were gonna kill you, you'd be just as shaken!"
He grinned. "I doubt it."
"Oh shut up."
He laughed and she tried to pull away from him. He released her and she picked up the obscure toad on top of Neville's corpse.
Draco shook his head as they began walking again. That bloody toad would be the end of them all.
The five students walked down the deserted passageways quietly. They knew they had to find a way out but the main entrance was locked along with every other exit.
"Wait a minute!" Hermione suddenly halted causing Pansy to run into her.
"What?" Demanded Pansy in annoyance.
"If this person is talking over the intercom they must be in one of the four house offices!" Hermione cried triumphantly.
Draco nodded. "But we have one small problem, Nancy Drew."
She turned to him "What is that, Sherlock oh, excuse me, Dracula?"
He exposed his fangs in mock threat "Vell, ve don't have anyone from ze Ravenclaw and a Ufflepuff Ouses. You ze, I already sucked dere blood."
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Curse you, you're right."
"Always."
"Also conceited."
Ginny piped up "We can still investigate the other two houses though, there's a 50/50 chance they'd be in there."
Ron nodded. "She's right, let's go. Slytherin first."
Draco narrowed his eyes. "I don't think so Weasley, Gryffindor first."
"Draco." Hermione's tone held warning.
"Ronald." Pansy imitated Hermione.
"Here's an idea, I'll go see if I can break into the other two houses and you couples go to opposite houses."
Hermione smiled. "Good plan, Ginny. Draco and I will go to Gryffindor." With that they went off in the direction of the fat lady as Ron and Pansy headed for the dungeons.
Hermione came to a stop in front of the familiar portrait whom was sleeping. Hermione cleared her throat and the fat lady jerked awake. "Password?" She asked in a slightly annoyed tone.
Hermione looked at Draco worriedly but hesitantly said "Snape is gay."
Draco raised an eyebrow as the portrait swung open. "Snape is gay?"
"Hey, I didn't come of with."
"Oh, wait till Snape hears about this." Draco smirked.
"I'll deny it if you repeat it." Hermione snapped.
"Okay, so where's the office?" Draco asked surveying the room.
Hermione pointed up and they began to scale the steps. They inspected the red and gold office carefully but detected no evidence of a presence so they exited the Gryffindor common room. They weaved their way skillfully through the labyrinth of corridors until they reached the location they had occupied earlier and waited.
Suddenly Ron's terrified form appeared at the end of the hallway. "Hermione! I know who the killer is! It's."
All of the sudden a dark figure reached around from behind the red head to pull the rope circling his neck taut. He fell to the floor in a crumpled heap as Hermione and Draco rushed towards him and the fiend escaped.
Ron was dead before they could reach him. Trevor croaked loudly from Hermione's hand. "Great, now Weasley's dead. Confound it! Now we'll never know who killed him!"
"Draco."
"I mean he was standing right here! He was gonna tell us and-"
"Draco!"
"What!"
"It has to be Pansy."
"What?"
"Well, think logically, if Ron and Pansy go off and Pansy make's a murder attempt but misses she'd be the only one close enough to follow him."
Draco's brow furrowed. "That's true."
Suddenly Pansy came rushing down the hallway. "I lost Ron!"
"Another one solved Nancy Drew."
"Shut up! What happened Pansy?"
"I walked into my common room and he wasn't behind me. I went outside and He wasn't there. I was so scared by myself."
Just then Ginny came down the same corridor as Pansy at breakneck speed yelling "He's behind me!"
Everyone broke into a run with Ginny as they saw a huge form come barreling toward them, abandoning Ron's still frame.
Draco grasped Hermione's hand firmly as they sprinted away from the killer. Draco looked over his shoulder and suddenly stopped.
Hermione's eyes widened "Are you crazy?!" She screamed.
He ignored her and let go of her hand "Run Hermione." Hermione wanted to smack him, he was going to get himself killed. She kept her feet firmly planted as the figure rammed into Draco barreling them both over.
Draco wound up on top of the unidentified person and ripped the potato sack off the person's head to reveal.
"Crabbe!" Draco yelled. "What the hell are you doing, chasing Ginny Weasley down a dark corridor with a potato sack on your head?!"
"Uh, I got my head stuck in the potato bag and heard a voice and followed it to see if they could help me."
"My God you imbecile! You scared everyone out of their minds!"
Hermione raised an eyebrow "Everyone?"
Draco glared at her "Everyone else."
"Sure Draco." She smiled as he picked himself up off Crabbe.
Pansy and Ginny appeared from around the corner and were given an explanation as to the scene before them.
As they began to walk back to the Great Hall the voice reappeared on the intercom. "Thought you'd be smooth and try to find where I hide, well you couldn't get to me no matter how hard you tried. I'll stop all this violence for a small fee, All that I ask is for Hermione!" The intercom clicked off with deadly promise.
Oh, poor Hermione! Who would possibly want to kill her? Keep guessing! Bye.
Hermione moved closer to Draco and he instantly wrapped his arms around her protectively.
He leaned down "You're under my protection Hermione." Draco assured her.
She laughed "That's supposed to make me feel better?" Her voice quivered with fear.
