Silent Night

Chapter Five

Harry got off the couch. He walked through the portrait hole, and was on the sixth floor before he realized anyone could see him. Harry was in plane sight, and any teacher would love to give him a detention for being out now. "Oh crap!" Harry whispered. "How could I possibly be this stupid." Harry stopped. Noises were coming from the other end of the hallway. He listened better. That was odd, Harry thought, the noise is giggling! That was weird. Harry leaned out from the wall that he had pressed himself against and looked at the people who were giggling. The sight just about knocked Harry's socks off to put it kindly. Hermione was out, at two in the morning, which in its self was odd, but even odder, (is that a word? Spell check seems to think so. But really, is it?) Malfoy has his arm draped around her shoulder. The bottom of their robes were soaked about two feet up from the bottom, and both had snow in their hair. (Come on! Use you head!!!!!!!) Harry let out a gasp of surprise at what happened next.

Draco leaned down, because he was a good six inches taller than Hermione, and planted a kiss on her lips. "Night Mione. See you in the morning. maybe." He said, kissing he again.

"You too. You little badger!" She said. "I have to go. See you soon!" And Hermione disappeared into a tapestry of a lion. Harry's eyes were round like marbles, and his hart was going faster that a speeding racecar. Malfoy and Mione just kissed! What is the world coming to? Me, now her, shit, nobody better not tell Ron. He'll start fucking off every person he meets he'll be so mad. Harry had a thousand thoughts running through his head. Draco disappeared behind a tapestry, as Hermione had, only his had a serpent on it. Harry got off of the wall and made the short walk to Hermione's door.

"Hermione? Are you in there?" Harry said, talking to the tapestry. "Please. I really need to talk to you. I think I'm losing any marbles I had." (Ha Ha Ha!) "The tapestry opened in front of him.

"What? Oh, Harry, how nice to see you. Come on in." Hermione had a brush stuck in her hair, and looked surprised to see Harry at her door at such an hour. "It's nice to see you, but, um, Harry, it's two in the morning. You shouldn't be out."

"You should talk. What were you and Malfoy doing in the hallway? And why were your robes wet?" Harry said glaring.

"Well, er, see, we fancied a walk. Yep, that's it." She said, trying to come up with a cover story. But she knew it wouldn't work. "You saw us kissing huh?" She said, a little put down that it didn't stay a secret for long.

"YES! Have you lost it? He hates you! You've gone nutters!" Harry said, pacing. "Maybe, but it is such a long story, just don't tell Ron. Now, he'll lose it!"

"If you don't tell Ron what I am telling you." Harry launched into an expiation of his feeling all night long. Hermione listened, and when he finished, she gasped, and shrieked

"Oh! This is sooooooo cute! Harry, your in love! This is sooooooo cute! Ya!" She said, jumping up and down with glee.

"I can't love Ginny, she's well, she's Ron's little sister, and has had the hots for me since before she even came here!" Harry said in disbelief.

"Well, Harry, that's the way life plays out. Oh, and Draco and I saw you and her in the tower. That was a really noble thing you did up there. Give her time. She'll warm up to you. I have to go to bed. So do you. Goodnights Harry. Just talk to her. And let her talk when she wants to. Trust me, it really works. Just talk to her about the weather or you, or something. Let her know that you care. Night." And before he knew it, Harry was out in the hallway, with a closed door behind him.

Harry walked in silence. This whole night was horrible, and he needed some sleep. The Gryffindor wasn't far from Hermione's Room, but the walk was anything but safe. Twice, Harry had to doge from teachers, and hide behind curtains. But, the whole time, Harry had a strange felling. Like he was being watched. And the truth was, he was being watched.

A/N: So, what did you think? Because honest thoughts really help me make my story better. The last five chapters spread over one night, and my stories can move sort of fast. This one is much slower. Thank you to all who have reviewed, you make my world shine! Just to let you know, I have been kinda updating on a daily basis, but I can't write one chapter a day. So, expect about two chapters a week. If I get mad at the story, It might be a while. I did that after I posted chapter one, because I was working on chapter six, and didn't even look at the files this all was saved in for five days. I said, my people need a story, and I wrote. So, ya. I'll stop, so you all can go do better things with you time, but before you do, please review!
