Prologue
Hermione looked up from the book she was reading. She looked around the dim common room and sighed. Once again she was alone. She closed her book, marking the spot where she left off. Her chocolate eyes skimmed the empty room for any sign of life. None. She once again let out a sigh and headed up to her dorm.
Draco Malfoy tossed and turned for the fourth night in a row. He looked over at his silver alarm clock. The snake arms informed him it was nearly midnight. He let out a groan and a curse. In the bed next to his Goyle let out a grunt. Stupid git. He rolled over and tried to get himself back to sleep.
