Blaise was having his usual night walk which somehow soothed him. He knew every corridor, room and even secret passage by heart. No one was at sight, being or ghost. It felt like the castle belonged to him.

The third floor corridor was as deserted as usual. The faint hooting of owls and the soft howling of the wind were the only sound present. Blaise ambled calmly along the corridor, humming some tune absentmindedly in the dark. Outside, the moonlight shone its brightest, illuminated the vast land.

Then he heard some faint giggling coming from the corner. He hid himself behind a pillar, crouching slightly in darkness. The footsteps came nearer as it echoed loudly. Somehow, one of the voices was seemed very familiar. Blaise's eyes widen and his mouth fell.

"It can't be!" said a voice inside his head.

His body shook in fury. He then called out, in a voice trembling in anger,

"D-Draco?"

One of the shadowed figure spoke,

"Who's that?"

Blaise, recognizing that voice, smiled evilly and whispered under his breath,

"Lumos."

The light from his wand shone brightly at the surroundings. There, his best friend Draco, and his flame Hermione, both gaped at him open-mouthed.

Draco gulped and ask, "What're you doing here Blaise? It's late now. You should be in bed."

Blaise flashed his evil smile and replied, "The night's still young, friend."

His evil smile sent shivers down Draco and Hermione's spines.

"Back from meeting?" Blaise asked; the smile masked his anger.

"Yeah, You know I hate meetings Blaise," Draco briskly replied.

Blaise eyes Hermione and said coarsely to Draco, "I thought you hated her? You told me you wouldn't stand a kilometer near her. Why so close?"

"Ohh.. It was nothing Blaise. We were talking about.. err.. Prefect stuffs." Lied Draco, carefully not to meet Blaise's eye contact.

Blaise then bowed at Hermione and said, "Good evening Miss Granger. It's rather late now. You should go back to Gryffindor Tower. Shall I lead you back?"

"No thank you. I can go back myself. Goodnight you two." Said Hermione, walked briskly, then after turning at the corner, she broke into a run.

The two Slytherins then walked back to the dungeon, not speaking to each other. Then Blaise broke the silence.

"Nice acting Draco. I can't believe she fell for you kindness." Said Blaise, smirking.

Draco snapped back, "Drop it, Blaise. My feelings for her are sincere."

"Sincere? Do tell me what is sincere, Draco. First you treat them sweetly, and then you throw them away like a piece of rubbish. Don't tell me you are going to dump her just like the other girls?"

Draco gazed at the moon and replied, "Of course not! She's special. Those Slytherin girls are nothing but whores, especially that ugly fat cow, Pansy. They damn deserved it."

Blaise said grimly, "You knew I fell for Hermione. Why?"

Draco stopped, looked at Blaise and said, "May the best man wins,"

Blaise replied with an eerie smile. Draco clapped Blaise's shoulder and said, "I'm damn tired. You know the shits we Heads have to do?"

Hermione stood in front of the portrait of the Fat Lady, panting hard. She clutched her chest as she tried to catch her breath. She brushed her sandy locks off her face and said,

"White Elanor,"

The sleeping Fat Lady jerked and looked at Hermione with an annoyed look, then she opened the portrait.

Hermione apologized and went into the Gryffindor common room, where the warmth of the fire embraced her. She was heading towards the staircase when suddenly a voice called out to her,

"You're late 'Mione,"

Hermione stop and looked around then she gasped,

"Ron? What are you doing here? You should be in bed."

Ron, who was sitting on their favourite chair, walked up to her,

"I-I w-was worried you know. It's past midnight and you were not back. Meetings always end early. So-so Hermione, I-I c-care a-about you," said Ron, the colour of his face was as same as his flaming-red hair.

Hermione smiled and said, "Thank you Ron. It's rather late now, we should both get to bed now."

Ron nodded.

"Goodnight Ron," said Hermione, she walked away.

Ron grabbed her hand and said, "Wait Hermione, I've something to tell you."

Hermione faced Ron and asked, "What is it?"

Ron, looking at his shoes, said, "F-for this past few months, I've b-been d-developing f-feelings f-for t-this particular girl. I-I l-love her so m-much t-that every time I close my eyes, I see only her. I really care for her and love her. I wish she felt the same for me,"

Hermione beamed at Ron and said, "Congratulations, Ron! Well, who is this lucky girl?"

Ron's face was turning scarlet, still not facing Hermione, and then he replied,

"You."

Shocked, Hermione let out a laugh,

"Come on Ronald, this IS a funny joke. Come on tell me who you like,"

Ron then lifted his head, looked into Hermione's honey coloured eyes and said,

"You're the one I love, Hermione. This is no joke."

Hermione was in shocked, a voice in her head said, "It can't be!"

She mustered her strength and said,

"Ronald, I know you're a sweet and sensitive guy, but I can't feel the same about you. You'll always be my best friend, or to be precise, I only treat you like one of my siblings. My heart belongs to someone else. I'm sorry Ron."

Ron's face fell, feeling very dejected he asked,

"Who is that guy?"

Hermione smiled and replied,

"Draco Malfoy."
