CHAPTER 12-

AN: I'm soooo sorry! I know I haven't updated in like 2 weeks, but its because I've has soooooo many project and assignments for school! I'm home from school early today so I told my self. "Kate, you have spare time. WRITE". (And also one of my friends has been hassling me to write the next chapter; you know who you are Neenee).

So yeah here's the next chapter. Enjoy!

OH AND PLEEEEEASEEEEEE REVIEW!!

PS: Draco is OOC in this fic, because he's changed! I believe it can happen in the real books as well! Only with Hermione's help of course!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CHAPTER 12-

Draco saw the fear in her eyes. She was scared to hear what happened next.

"Alright, I'll say it! I was on my knees as Voldemort hit me with the cruciatus curse. Dozens of death eaters, including my own father, were closing in around me. Preparing to scar me for life with the dark mark.

I sat there praying I would survive, and desperately trying to figure a way out of it all.

Then suddenly I figured it out! The trigger for apparation.

I had needed to apparate so seriously that something inside of me triggered, it just jump started. And before I could realize what was happening, I'd landed hard on my backside in my Slytherin dorm."

Hermione, who was listening intensively to Draco's every word, jumped up at the revelation.

"You did it! So you actually apparated? I knew you wouldn't go through with it!" She was blissful!

"It was you Hermione ('AN: The cloud of fluff makes it's grand entrance') You changed me! All your 'goodness' rubbed of on me and I was determined not to follow the same path as father."

They sat for hours into the night together in the Tower. Not only until morning did they wake up and realize what time it was.

~~~~~~~~~End Of Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hermione returned back to reality, only to realize that she was still standing alone in the deserted corridor.

Only moments had passed since Draco had disaparated.

It was all coming to her, there was someone walking distantly towards her. She could hear footsteps getting louder and louder.

Hermione panicked.

She didn't know why, she just started to get nervous vibes flowing through her body.

She looked herself up and down. Accepting the fact that she looked like a respectable Head girl, not a teenager who had just been kissing a Slytherin bad-boy, she started down the corridor.

"Ms Granger!" A high-pitched voice called on Hermione to stop.

"Professor Mc..McGonnagal!" Hermione replied; stunned.

-"Ms Granger, do you know what time it is right now?"

"Yes professor, I know very well, but I AM head girl. I have the right to walk these corridors at night. I try to do my duties well. I was just heading off to bed anyway. I had a long walk around the castle, no trouble tonight." Hermione answered the Transfiguration Professor's rhetorical question.

"Very well, off you go". Professor McGonagall told the girl and nodded her head in the left direction, meaning for Hermione to be off on her way.

"Goodnight" Hermione waved back as she disappeared down the Gryffindor corridor and turned the knob to her dorm.

By the time she looked back towards the Professor. She was gone.

Hermione chuckled quite proudly to herself, "She's not the only one in this school who can apparate".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hermione twisted the knob, the door unlocked itself and Hermione suddenly realized the forgotten company she had.

"Kate".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh…that didn't take very long to write. Once I get going I really let it all flow.

Thanks for reading, and I really should kinda kick off this story next chapter.

Coz you know how its been "Flashbacks" and remembering? Well that's enough of that!

The next chappie will be a real plot forming. (Hopefully anyway).

I can even ring up the cloud of fluff to make another appearance if you'd like.

*Chuckles*

Anyway, see you l8er!

It's getting late.

PLEASE REVIIIEEEW!! J

Kate,

K8~
