Disclaimer: I disclaim Harry Potter. (By the way, for those of you who live in Australia there is actually a news reporter on channel 10 who only comes on there every now again CALLED HARRY POTTER! Isn't that funny? Can't you just imagine some old fart saying 'Hello, Harry Potter reporting.')

The Astronomy Tower.

It was midnight, otherwise known as 'The Witch Hour' in some places like Hogwarts. Hermione, after a few hours of no able of getting to sleep decided to grab Harry's Invisibility Cloak (she had asked him for it before, earlier in the day to steal some food from the kitchens) and take a walk around the school.

Hmm, maybe I'll go up to the Astronomy Tower and look at the stars, thought Hermione. She put on her black dressing gown (which had a picture of a green dragon which roared out flames silently) and threw the Invisibility cloak on top. Making sure she was fully invisible, she headed off to the Astronomy Tower.

Eventually, she got to her destination and stopped dead on her tracks, frozen at the entrance. There, leaning out one of the windows stood Malfoy, he's pale face more paler than usual, and his cold eyes gleaming.

Hermione took off the invisibility cloak. 'Hello Malfoy,' she said pleasantly, after regaining posture. Malfoy turned around, surprised. 'Mudblood,' he hissed. 'That's not a very nice way to treat your fellow prefects,' replied Hermione coldly.

'Well, I guess then I'm not a very nice prefect,' he said. Hermione raised her eyebrows. 'The truth hurts doesn't it?' asked Hermione, surveying Malfoy with particular distaste. Malfoy narrowed his eyes. 'What are you doing here, mudblood?' he asked.

'I believe that is none of your business whatsoever,' Hermione replied, emphasising the last 4 syllables. 'I believe it is my business, Granger because Prefects should keep no secrets from each other,' said Malfoy coolly. 'I couldn't sleep,' said Hermione. 'Whats your reason?'

'I have no reason,' said Malfoy mysteriously. 'Oh sure,' replied Hermione. 'I'm serious, really I am,' Malfoy said, seeing Hermione throw a 'yeah, RIGHT' face at him. All of a sudden he laughed at Hermione.

Hermione, who had been looking at the stars, looked at Malfoy sharply. She bit back a smile-or tried to anyway. As quickly as his laugh started was as quickly as it stopped. In fact, it was so quick Hermione wasn't even sure if he laughed or not.

But it still ringed in her ears, a short but rich laugh sounding completely unlike Malfoy, but she knew, she just KNEW it was from Malfoy, that he laughed. He never even smiled.

'Goodnight Granger,' said Malfoy and he turned his heel and walked off. Hermione stared after him, and when she couldn't see him anymore she caught the glimpse of his shadow as he ran down the stairs softly.

Hermione turned around back to the stars, then after an hour or two walked to her dorm.

It was morning. It was morning and the sun was shining, the birds were singing and not only was it morning, it was also Saturday. The good thing about it all was that she had hardly got any homework, apart from some Potions and a bit of History of Magic.

Hermione had a shower and got dressed and went downstairs. 'Hey Herm,' said Ron, between bites of a blueberry muffin. 'Hey,' she said. 'Where's Harry?' 'Hasn't come down yet,' replied Ginny, as she sat down beside Hermione. 'Got lots of homew-oh hi Harry,' said Hermione, as Harry sat down. 'Hey-Ron wanna go down to the Quidditch Pitch later?' asked Harry. 'Sure, we'll go after lunch,' said Ron.

A cloud of owls flew in, and an owl dropped 'The Daily Prophet' on Hermione's cereal. 'Gee, thanks,' said Hermione as she put a knut into it's leather pouch. She almost began to fold the newspaper, but spotted an article on the Malfoys. She didn't want show it to the others, so she just folded it. 'Ugh, gosh, you know guys, I kind of have got a headache so I think I might just go into my dorm-I'll see you guys later,' said Hermione and ran up to her dorm.
