CHAPTER TWO

As Hermione joined the huge crowd filling the Great hall, she saw Ron and Harry talking at the other side of the crowd. Ron noticed she was looking and glared at her. Harry's face just looked blank. Hermione looked away quickly. As the Gryffindors sat at their table, Harry and Ron found seats as far away from Hermione as they could. Hermione stared down at her empty plate. As the Sorting hat sang before it sorted the first years, Hermione never took her eyes off the plate. She could hear the SH sing but the words didn't make any sense. As she looked over to the Slytherin table, she saw Draco sitting there, trying to catch her eye and smiling at her. She smiled weakly back.

That night in the common room, she sat on a table on her own. The common room was almost empty as it had just gone midnight. Harry and Ron walked straight past her, acting as if she wasn't there. Finally she couldn't take it. Making sure no-one was looking, she crept up to the 6th year boys dormitory. She rummaged through Harry's trunk and pulled out Harry's invisibilaty cloak which he had inherited from his father in the first year. She threw it over her shoulders and headed down the stairs. Still checking no-one was looking, she crept out of the common room.

"Hello?" said the portrait of the fat lady. Hermione ignored it. As she headed away, she stepped on something and heard a familiar voice say "Oucb!" But no-one was there.

"Hello?" said the familiar voice. "Potter? Is that you?"

Hermione realised, it was Draco Malfoy.

"Draco?" said Hermione. "Hermione?" replied Draco. "Quick come over here!"

Hermione was pushed by invisible hands over behind a suit of armour. They both threw their cloaks off.

Draco smiled at her. He had combed his hair in a different way so it made him look even more gorgeous.

"What are you doing here?" said Hermione. "Looking for you," replied Draco. "I was waiting for a Gryffindor to go in so I could hear the password."

Hermione blushed. She was going to do exactly the same thing.

"Potter and the weasel have told people about what we were doing on the train, it's been going around school! Everyone knows!" said Malfoy.

"Never mind that. I didn't know you had an invisibility cloak," said Hermione

"Yes. I, too, inherited a cloak from my father. Anyway-" But he was interrupted as a yell came from the common room. "What's that?" he said.

"I don't know. Let's go and have a look," said Hermione. As they approached the common room, she took her cloak off and said, "Flubber nugget."

The door opened and she dragged Malfoy in as well. When Hermione saw who was in there, she quickly put the cloak back on.

Two figures were standing st the top of the boys domitory stairs. It was Harry and Ron.

"How could it have disappeared? It must have been stolen!" said Harry.

"It has to be a Gryffindor boy. Can the girls get into our dormitory? Oh they can, I remember Hermione coming in before." said Ron. "Hey where is Hermione? I bet she took your cloak, probably to find her precious Draco!"

They started coming down the stairs. "Quick out of here!" whispered Hermione and they both ran to the common room door.

"Hey, the common room hole's opened by it's own!" Hermione heard Ron say and she heard quick footsteps behind them. Her and Draco started to run.

"What are we gonna do?" said Hermione, panicking.

"We'll go to the Slytherin Common room!" said Malfoy and they both started to run to the common room. They could hear footsteps behind them, it sounded like Harry and Ron were still chasing them.

As they turned round a corner, they bumped into two people, Crabbe and Goyle. Draco's cloak slid off.

"Duh, Draco, we were looking for you," said Crabbe. "But we forgot where to go from here."

Harry and Ron hurtled round the corner. Draco quickly picked up his invisibilaty cloak. "What are you doing down here, Potter!" he spat.

Meanwhile, Hermione was watching. She had stopped about 3 feet away from Crabbe and Goyle.

"Get lost Malfoy!" said Ron. Draco had started to look around for Hermione so she showed a bit of her foot to tell him where she was. But Ron saw first.

He nudged Harry and said, "Right, Hermione!" They both ran to the point where she was. She didn't have time to get away and they knocked her over. The cloak fell off her.

Thanks for reading, please review and tell me what you think! I don't own Harry, Ron, Hermione, Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle or any other characters, J.K. Rowling does and I admire her for coming up with such a brilliant and original idea. Nic
