"What? No! Err… I mean… Why?" Draco asked.
"Because I think you two need to discuss something, and I don't have to be here." Hermione answered.
She got up and walked out.
"Look, you dun messed it up." Melissa said following after Hermione.
"Aww man!" Draco said, he turned around and followed both of them out.

Chapter 18: (OOOOOOOOH! My Favourite Number!!!) The Chase
"Hermione!" Melissa shouted.
Hermione was about 10 feet in front of Melissa. She turned a corner.
Melissa ran after Hermione, and turned the same corner.
Draco was still behind, following them both.
"Hermione! Wait up!" Melissa shouted again.
"No!" Hermione yelled back.
"You guys…err… girls! Waitttt!" Draco yelled to Melissa and Hermione.
"No!" They yelled back to him.
"Ugh!" Draco stomped his foot.
Hold on. He was a wizard right?
"ACCIO!" Draco said.
10 seconds later, his broom was in his hand.
He got on it and sped forward.
He reached up to where Melissa was in about 5 seconds, picked her up by the back of her clothes and dropped her on his broom, in back of him.
Hermione was running in front of them… about 20 feet in front.
"Go faster!" Melissa said to Draco.
"Shut-up!" Draco said.
Melissa hit Draco on the back… HARD.
"OW! Melissa, I'ma hurt you!"
(A/N- I'ma was specially put in :) lol!)
"Sure. Just go!"
Draco sped up a little.
10 feet away…
9 feet away…
8 feet away…
7 feet away…
6 feet away…
5 feet away…
4 feet away…
3 feet away…
2 feet away…
Draco put his hand out to grab her.
Hermione had said the password and went inside the Common Room.
"Da-!"
"Draco! Watch the mouth." Melissa shouted.
(A/N- I KNOW, you didn't think I was gunna curse. Oh please!)
They sped past the door.
Draco shortly stopped the broom.
"UGH!" Melissa said.
Draco pushed Melissa off the broom, then got off himself.
Draco grabbed his broom and left to run to the Common Room.
Within 10 seconds he arrived at the portrait, shouted the password (Charms), and entered the Common Room in time to see Hermione's door slam.
"HERMIONE!" Draco shouted.
Draco and Melissa ran up the stairs and stood in front of Hermione's door.
Melissa knocked.
"Her-"
"Hermione open this door NOW!" Draco interrupted.
"GO AWAY!"
"Hermione… Please." Melissa said.
"No. I can't believe you Melissa." Hermione said.
"Why are you so upset?!" Melissa asked leaning on the door.
Silence.
"Hermione?" Melissa said softly.
"Ugh, I'm tired of this. Alohamora!" Draco said pointing his wand to the doorknob.
The door creaked open.
Hermione lay down on her bed with her back turned away from the door.
"Leave…please." Hermione whispered.
"No way. Why are you so upset? I'm just totally not registering this." Draco said.
"Hello. Knock, Knock. Is anyone in their empty brain of Draco? We set her up, so that you can hear if she likes you or what not." Melissa explained.
"Oh come on. I mean, it's not THAT bad that I know……… is it?" Draco asked.
More silence.
Draco leaned in to whisper to Melissa.
"Can you leave, please?"
"Why do I have to l-… ohhhh, I get it." Melissa whispered back and gave a huge fake wink. "I'll just go."
Melissa opened the door and left.
"Hermione? Are you okay?" Draco walked over and sat on her bed.
"…"
"Hermione. Okay, listen, I know you didn't want me to know but… I mean, don't you feel a *little* better that you don't have to hide it from me anymore?" Draco asked.
"…"
"I'm sorry." Draco sighed. He got up and began to leave.
"Yes." Came Hermione's small voice.
"Excuse me?" Draco said.
Hermione sat up and faced him.
"Yes, I feel better. But it's still totally embarrassing. I mean… what if you're not the only one who heard. What if someone else heard and it got to Harry and Ron… what if because of this they won't ever speak to me again… What if-" Hermione was cut off.
"What if they don't know? Hermione, why do you care so much about what they think?" Draco asked.
"Because they're my best friends." Hermione said.
"Well, wouldn't best friends support you?" Draco asked.
"They're a bit… overprotected." Hermione answered.
"Sounds more like parents." Draco laughed.
"Yeah, I guess. But still, Slytherin and Gryffindor is basically the thing that will make them mad." Hermione said.
"Hermione… I'm sorry about what we did. But we really didn't mean to embarrass you or anything." Draco sighed.
"It's okay." Hermione said.
Draco smiled.
Hermione smiled back.
Draco leaned forward and pecked Hermione on the cheek.
"Goodnight." He said, and left her room swiftly, closing the door behind him.
"Goodnight." Hermione whispered back into the dark.
