"Please Melissa, he hates me, he hates everyone in Gryffindor!" Hermione told Melissa.

"Suit yourself."

"Hey, it's getting late" Hermione said. "I think we should head to our common rooms."

"Okay, see you tomorrow," Melissa said to Hermione as they left the library and headed toward their common rooms.

Chapter 5: Accidentally Meeting

Next morning…

Hermione suddenly sat up in bed. She looked around and saw that her Prefect room was dark. She leaned over to look at the clock next to her bed… 3:45. Hermione moaned. She had just had a nightmare. Hermione couldn't remember exactly what it was, and didn't want to go back to sleep so that it could continue. All she remembered was that it was bad.

Hermione rubbed her eyes, then got out of bed. She turned on her lamp, and got one of her night cloaks from her bathroom. She put the cloak on and opened the door. She crept down the stairs to the bottom. 'I need time to think, but… what if someone wakes up, I don't need anyone finding me in the Common Room.' Hermione thought for a while. 'the astronomy tower!'

Hermione silently left the Common Room, and carefully sneaked up to the astronomy tower. She saw a nice seat connected to the window. She went over and lay down on it. Hermione looked out of the window at the twinkling stars in the sky.

All of a sudden the door creaked open. Hermione didn't hear it though. She was too absorbed in the stars outside of the window…. Whoever the person who just entered was stared at her. He looked at the girl looking out of the window, and moved closer to get a better look at who it was…

"Hermione?" He asked incredulously.

Hermione turned around and looked. She looked at the figure, who was pretty tall, had blonde hair, and gray eyes…

"Draco?" She asked in a 'I can't believe this' tone.

"What are you doing here?" They asked at the same time.

"What do you mean what am I doing here?" They asked together, again.

Hermione and Draco sighed.

Hermione was sitting up in the chair, looking around nervously.

Draco saw how nervous Hermione looked. "Why do you look so nervous? Did you just murder someone?" Draco asked and laughed.

"That's sooo not funny!" Hermione practically yelled.

"Shhhh! People will here us. Besides, it was a joke, nothing to get all hyper about… What's wrong?" Draco asked Hermione, looking at her scared face.

"I'm tired, that's all."

"Well, go to sleep."

"No!" Hermione answered quickly.

"Why…?"

"I had a nightmare, and that's why I came up here… that's all… wait, why are YOU up here?" Hermione asked.

"Because, uhm… because, I just needed… fresh air… that's all." Draco stuttered and then looked away.

"Sure, whatever."

"Hey mudblood—"

"Our bet Draco, remember?"

"Well, you still didn't do your part of it, Hermione."

"I will."

"Do it soon, or I'll just go out of the bet."

"Whatever."

"Gee, if that's how you feel about the bet then maybe we should just end it-"

"No Draco, don't even try it."

"Okay then, but tomorrow's the deadline." Draco stated.

"Fine." Hermione agreed.

"I should go downstairs. It's 4:10." Hermione said looking at her watch.

Hermione started to leave for the door when…

"Wait." Draco called after her.

"Yes?" Hermione turned around.

"I just got here."

"Uh, and…?" Hermione said not getting the point.

"I don't know…"

"You want me to stay with you, don't you? You like my company, don't you?" Hermione asked smirking.

Draco stared at her.

"Admit it Draco, you love my company!" Hermione said laughing.

"Fine, fine." Draco said now staring at the floor.

"Omigosh! Draco's blushing!" Hermione exclaimed looking at Draco's cheeks turning pink.

"Shut it."

"Awww, your embarrassed." Hermione said softly, and tilting her head.

There was an awkward silence.

"Draco, are you okay? You're really quiet."

"No I just don't like people saying 'oh you're blushing' or 'oh you're embarrassed'" Draco told her.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Hermione said, and out of instinct after apologizing, embraced Draco into a hug.

Draco, who was surprised, hugged her back.

"It's okay…" Draco said.

Hermione looked at her watch (once again).

"Oh no, its 4:30, I think I've been up here long enough." Hermione said.

"Yeah, I guess we should go back down."

"Let's go then." Hermione and Draco left toward their prefect common room.

!**!**!**!**!**!**!**!**!**!**!**!**!**!**!**!**!**!**!**!**!**!**!**!

"Pensickle." Draco said. The portrait slid open, and he and Hermione went through it.

Hermione went to the loveseat set in front of a calm fire, roaring.

"Why aren't you going to sleep?" Draco asked her.

"Because I don't want the nightmare to continue." Hermione reminded him.

"Oh, right." Draco said.

All of a sudden there was a clearing of the throat.

"Was that you?" Hermione asked Draco.

"No, and obviously it's not you."

"Well, this is interesting, Draco is actually following out on the deal." Said a voice, who's body wasn't seen since they seem to be sitting in a chair facing the opposite way.

"Who are you?" Draco asked moving close to the chair the voice was coming from.

"How can you not know who I am?" asked the voice.
