Chapter 3

*that night in the Gryffindor common room*

"Harry, you like Hermione?" Ron asked quietly.

"How could you guess?" Harry said coldly.

"Sorry! I didn't know you were so touchy on that subject, gosh!"

"Hey guys! What are you two up to?" Jaylie says as she walks by and then takes a seat next to Harry.

"Nothing." He says so quickly that you can tell that he doesn't want to talk about it.

"Ohh you must be talking about Her-" she was cut short by Ron franticly waving his arms, then finally walking over and putting his hand over her mouth.

"Stop taunting him about it, please." He whispers into her ear.

She senses the tone of his voice and stops.

"I wonder where Hermione is?"

"Why? So you can taunt her to?" Harry says even colder than he said to Ron.

"No. Anyway, I need to talk to you, Harry. And, no, it is not about something that happened earlier today."

"What?"

"I saw Dobby."

"What? How?"

"Fred & George showed me how to get in to the kitchen."

"How is he? That reminds me I need to go see him."

"He was really happy when I told him that you told me about him."

"Really!? After all this time! Harry hasn't talked to him in ages." Ron asks suddenly, but before she could answer a very ruffled Hermione emerges into

the common room with Nevile.

"Ugh!!" Hermione moans as she sits down next to Ron.

"What happened?" Ron asks concerned.

"Malfoy was harassing Nevile again! And Nevile is too frightened to tell me what about! He thinks Malfoy will do some thing bad to him."

"Ohhhh! That Malfoy! Next time I run into him I'm going to use a special American spell on him and won't he be embarrassed!" Jaylie says.

"What is it?" Hermione asks (hoping to learn a new spell, no doubt)

"You'll see when I run into him." She replies mischievously, "Well I'm getting kinda tired so I'm going to bed, so good night." She finishes with a yawn.

"'Night" every one says in unison.

*About 1 am (every one is asleep)*

"Neon lights." Says a cold voice.

"Well that's the password, but you're not in our house. Are you?" The Fat Lady says as she swings forward.

"Shut up! Stupid painting." The boy mutters under his breath.

He walks into the 6th year girl's room (where Jaylie is).

"Somnus! Somnus! Somnus!" He whispers making Alicia Spinett, Angela Johnson, and Katie Bell fall into a deep sleep.

"Now for you." He says to Jaylie (even though she can't her him).

"Somnus! Ligatiomus!" As he says this thick ropes spring from his wand and tie her up.

"Navicus! Nonperspicuus!" She rises into the air and become invisible except to the person. He covers himself in an invisibility cloak and pulls Jaylie out of her room, out of the Gryffindor common room, and into an empty classroom.

"Perspicuus! Occumbo!" He says as she floats down against a wall.

He mutters a spell that makes her stick to the wall.

"Incedo!" He whispers.

*Jaylie wakes up*

"Where am I? Why am I tied up? And more importantly, Malfoy, what are you doing here?"

"Well you are in a empty class room, you are here because I brought you here, and you are tied up because I want you tied up. Any more questions?" He replies.

"Yes, one, why?" She says with so much hatred in her voice that you could mistake her for an evil person.

"Why! Why! You want a motive!?"

"Yes, I do."

"Well that is the one question that I cannot answer."

"And why would that be?"

"Because I assume that you are a clever girl and if I am right you will figure it out in time." He says (he has been moving closer to her with every sentence, "Anymore?" He says being very close to her face now.

"Yes, one more. What are you going to do to me?"

"Do you really want to know?" he says slyly.

"Yes."

"All right then." He says then……………he kisses her!

"Yuck! Ahhhh! Why did you do that? You PERVERT! Profes-" she is cut short by a silencing spell.

"Ohh, be quiet. Now, have you figured it out yet?"

She nods slowly.

"Good but you better make sure it doesn't get out. If it does you need to think of what you think pain is and get ready for a new definition. Understand?"

She nods with a frightened look.

"One final word, I will go to any means to reach my goal!" and with that she blacks out……………………………………………………
