"Uh hi guys! What are you doing up so late?"
"Where have you been?" Goyle's cold eyes froze Draco's insides.
"Oh, nothing, just off on a walk, you know. Um, like to break rules and stuff."
"You were seeing that Weasley rat again weren't you! We know about you and him! We know how you are shrugging us off to spend time with him! We SAW you two together this morning."
Draco took a moment to remember to breathe. "What do you mean? Saw us together? You must be mad."
"Don't lie to use Draco. Those Gryffindors are scum! How could you betray us by becoming friends with one!"
"You're both mad! I'm not friends with him!" Draco attempted to brush by them and get up into the dormitory but they blocked him.
"We beat him up after you left. We took care of him! We told him if he ever talked to you again ever tried to even contact you, we would kill him."
Draco gasped slightly. "You're you're both crazy! Ron and I are not friends! You idiots!" Draco took a deep breath before saying, "Ok, I admit it, I've been talking to Ron."
Crabe and Goyle looked back and forth to one another, surprised at the bluntness of Draco's comment. Both their jaws hung part-ways open, but neither of them spoke a word, waiting for Draco to give a reason why he defied the Slytherines by befriending a Gryffindor.
"He is NOT my friend." Draco stated simply. "He was giving me information on the ministry of magic from his father" Draco struggled to make up a feasible excuse hoping his friends would swallow the lie.
"I don't understand, why didn't you just ask you father for information?"
"Because he won't tell me everything! I need to know all the details!"
"But why would a Gryffindor want to give you information? Gryffindors hate us, and we hate them!"
"You two are so thick sometimes. Do you think those Gryffindors are smart? No! That Weasley is so stupid that I can make him believe I like him, so long as he keeps feeding me ministry secrets from his father."
Crabe and Goyle thought for a moment to themselves, sly grins appearing across their faces. Draco hoped they would believe his lies. They turned once more to ask a final question.
"So what are these secrets you and Weasley are exchanging? Why haven't you told us?"
"Well well," Draco tried to stop himself from fumbling with words when he suddenly exclaimed, "That is MY own business, I don't need to tell anyone! Now if you don't mind, you two blockheads, I need to go to bed, I'm exhausted!" Draco stormed past them and up the stairs, hoping they would question him no longer. He really was tired, but that night he would get little sleep due to the extreme worry of the situation. Someone was going to find out the entire situation soon, he knew it and he and Ron would need to tell certain others before things got out of hand.
