A/N: Thanks again for the reviews. I'm writing fast since I'm still on vacation. I have nothing to do. I had fun reading fan fiction so I decided to write one on my own. I only have this week free so I want to finish it all before classes. But we'll see if I can finish what I planned. By the way, I need to know if there's someone still interested. If there were anything you'd like me to change or add, do it in the reviews. I'm open for suggestions.

Chapter17: Patrolling
'Hell! Why is it that I have to be stuck with a whining egotistical muggle- hating son of a Death Eater!' They've just left McGonagall's office and already Malfoy was on her case. Yelling that this was all her fault. Asking what he's done wrong to be stuck with her. There were other forms of whining but the common in all of them was him, calling her a mudblood.
"Look Malfoy, this is not my fault but yours. If you weren't such a slimy git, McGonagall would've found another partner for you. But since your not mister popularity, I suggest you keep you pie hole shut."
"You have no right to say that."
"Why? Because I'm a mudblood? If all purebloods are such an ass like you then I'd take that as a compliment."
"It only shows what you know."
Hermione glared at him and thanked whoever it was responsible for him to shut up. The route that McGonagall gave them made them patrol from Hufflepuff to Ravenclaw to Slytherin and Gryffindor.
The tower of Hufflepuff was quiet. No one was lurking. "Looks like all the goody-goody two shoes are staying here." Draco remarked. Hermione just rolled her eyes trying to avoid arguing with him. Draco saw it and let it pass.
Ravenclaw tower was next and everything seemed normal. It was as peaceful as Hufflepuff's tower. When they neared the stairs, they heard something clanging in the hallways. Hermione clung to the first available object she felt. To her dismay, she saw that it was the body of a smug-looking Malfoy. "Jumpy eh! I didn't think that the brave Gryffindors are scared of sounds."
"Knock it off Malfoy. I was just surprised." She let go off Malfoy as she tried to regain both her balance and composure.
"Whatever!"
They went back to where they heard the sounds. Both drew their wands and walked silently. Each of them was careful not to give away their advantage, which was a surprise attack.
Hermione was first to look. She saw nothing. She saw an armor all dismantled lying in the floor. Malfoy now was close behind her. 'Should've moved first.' He was so close to her that he can smell her. And damn does she smell good. Hermione started walking again looking for the person responsible for the mess. She saw something at the corner and stopped abruptly. This caused Malfoy to bump her. "Watch it mudblood."
She turned around and he saw her face in a sort of smile. He noticed that her smile was half lived. The smile turned into a frown that somehow looks appetizing just as well. "You watch it, I was walking here."
"What's so funny? Why'd you stop anyway? Did something scary appear?" He tried to mock her. He was doing everything he can to try to forget how soft and fragrant she was.
"Nothing's funny, I just thought of how silly it was to have imagined a Death Eater in the here. I stopped because I saw the culprit. Lastly, I wasn't scared. Who'd be scared of Peeves? Annoyed maybe but scared?"
Draco complimented her for her clear and organized train of thought. He just couldn't think straight with her. 'What's the matter? It's not the first time you've smelled a female before.' He was distracted when he heard her performed a spell. The armor that was lying on the floor was now back in it's proper position.
"Let's go then?" Hermione asked her partner.
"Fine."
"Slytherin's next. I'm warning you if you try to help any of your housemates I'll know and I won't hesitate to take away points."
"Same goes for your friends." Hermione just shook her head and headed to the Slytherin tower.
They resumed their silence as they went through the tower. Hermione was expecting lots of students running around in the hallways. 'I guess they're good at hiding.' "I must say, I am impressed. Not a soul in sight."
"Huh? What?" Draco was not paying attention. He keeps on remembering the little incident that happened back in the Ravenclaw tower.
"I said. never mind."
Draco focused trying his best to remember what she just said. 'I think it was something about no one in the halls.' "Slytherin's don't walk around."
"It's just you then." Draco smirked at her insult.
"I have it in good authority that Gryffindor's are worse."
"Only when we have to. I think that Slytherin's just good at hiding. I bet you know some of your housemates who's out taking a walk doing who- knows-what to who-knows-who."
"Oh, So you know what we do for entertainment." Draco wanted to see her expression when he said this so he stopped in front of her. All he saw was disgust.
"Are you trying to say that there are girls attracted to ferrets?" She countered.
"Hey, that fake Moody was way out of his league. I'd say he should have been punished for what he did."
"He's dead you know."
"Whatever."
Gryffindor tower was the last in the route McGonagall gave them. Hermione welcomed the silence that came between them. This gave her time to analyze the situation. When she held on Malfoy earlier, she felt something that shot up through her hands. She wanted to know what it was but she couldn't think straight. But as she saw the familiar things hanging out in the hallway something else occupied her mind. What if Malfoy saw Harry and Ron? There class was just about to end. They would be heading this way. 'What am I thinking. The professors would've given them a pass or something. They are excused as I am.' But she couldn't erase the uneasiness that's building inside her.
Draco could see that something was bothering her. There are funny ideas that come to the mind of a jealous person. Jealous? He was jealous even when he didn't want to admit it that there are other things or worse people occupying her mind. 'Ah! What the hell am I thinking. I don't give a damn what she's thinking about. Although, it wouldn't hurt to know, would it?' Just then, they heard footsteps coming up the stairs. He looked at her to see if she heard it too.
"Maybe that's just Peeves." Hermione tried to tell him.
"Maybe." Then they heard the footsteps coming closer. "But there's a problem though, ghosts don't have footsteps." Draco was getting excited. He was going to take away points from Gryffindor and this time he had reason too.
"Look, I think I heard something there." Hermione was pointing at the opposite direction, desperately trying to convince Malfoy to look the other way.
Draco on the other hand didn't budge. He knew there were Gryffindor's headed his was, he can feel them. "You wouldn't let me get away with helping a housemate, what makes you think I would let them go easily? Besides this wouldn't look good at your records would it?"
Hermione glared at him in reply.
The footsteps were getting closer. Then, Hermione felt her insides twist and turn as she heard the familiar voices of her 2 friends.
Draco's eyes widen and his lips formed into a smile. 'At last, I can nail these 2 stupid fools.' He got excited and couldn't wait for the 2 to come into view.
Hermione couldn't think of any way to help them. She just hoped that the professors did give them a pass.
"I wonder how Hermione's doing with the slimy git."
"I think that you have to worry about something more serious than her Weasley. You guy are busted." Malfoy immediately wore his smug look as Harry and Ron looked at him.
"What are you doing here Malfoy?" Harry was first to react.
"The question Potter is what are you doing here?"
"This is our tower we are entitled to use it and you?" Harry never backs down when it comes to Malfoy.
"Tell them Granger why I am here?"
"Where on patrol remember? Honestly, I thought you listened earlier. We were just finished weren't we Malfoy? I think you should head now to your room. We'd have to report tomorrow morning." She tried to sound confident.
"Why wait, I can go to McGonagall now and let these 2 get detention."
Harry and Ron looked at each other in disbelief. 'What the hell's he talking about?'
"What's to report? I don't see anything wrong." Hermione was defending her friends.
"Fine, if you won't cooperate you'd suffer with them."
"Sorry to burst your bubble but we're in no trouble. Go ask McGonagall, she'll agree with us." Ron was now on the offensive.
"Why? Did you get unlimited pass? That's the only way you'd escape detention. You have a lot of trust on her but you should know that she's not biased. She'll have your head." He smirked.
"Hermione tell him." Ron was urging her.
"What Ron said is true. It doesn't matter if you tell on them. McGonagall's ok with it so is the headmaster."
"Fine, then get ready tomorrow." Draco turned and started his way back to his room.
The three friends just shrugged and went on their way to their rooms.
