Draco walked briskly into the Great Hall. He paused, scanning the room. Not
there. He ran to the library. Not there either. Where could they be?
"Hey, you!" he called out to a student ahead of him. The person turned
around and looked at Draco.
It was Colin Creevy. "Don't hurt me! I'll do anything!" he cried. He lifted
up his camera to shield himself.
"I'm not going to hurt you, you twit! I just want to know where Weasley and
his little girlfriend are!" he replied.
"I-I don't know where they are. The last time I saw them was in the main
courtyard. They might be there still."
"Good." and he ran down the hallway. He was so angry that he didn't see
Professor Snape walking down the hallway. He ran smack into him, knocking
him to the ground.
"Oh no.I'm so sorry, Professor! I wasn't watching where I was going! Are
you okay?" Draco said in a panic.
"I am okay, Malfoy. You better watch out next time." Snape replied, getting
to his feet.
"So sorry, Professor. I'll watch out!" he called over his shoulder as he
ran down the corridor.

"Can this day get any worse?" Nikki asked Ron. She had had a horrible
day.She had been caught writing notes to Ron in Transfiguration and
McGonagall made her read the note aloud. In Potions, Snape had screamed at
her, making her shake so hard she put into to drops of dragon saliva rather
than one, which had made her cauldron explode.
"Everyone has them. Don't get too worked up about it." he replied.
She started to cry. "Maybe I shouldn't have come here. No one likes me
anyway! Well, except you and Harry."
"Hun, it's not you. Lots of people like you. You're just having a bad day,
that's all." he said, calmly. He took her head into his hands and kissed
her softly. He then kissed her eyes. She sniffed and put her head on his
shoulder. Maybe things were going to get better.
