Hermione was walking to the library early one morning . But something stopped her dead in her tracks. People were talking in angry hushed voices behind the statue in front of her. Hermione wasn't one to eavesdrop but She recognized both of the voices. It was Draco and Guinevere. Hermione darted behind the statue nearest to theirs. And listened to the end of their conversation.

"anything else?!" Draco was as loud as he could possible be without attracting attention.

"No I told you everything you wanted to know..." Guinevere was reluctant to answer and fear was apparent in her voice.

"Barely!" Draco hissed " I would have thought after almost a month you would know something more important than the bare facts I asked for, they were the minimum after all."

"I'm sorry I don't want to appear like I am prying"

"Don't give me that .Potter is clueless!"

"He's smarter than you think.."

"I Don't want to hear it!"

"But Draco...."

"silence!" Draco pulled his wand on her and pointed it close t o her chest. " Find out something helpful or you will regret it. Mark my words you help me and you will be rewarded"

"I don't want the reward you are offering!" Guinevere regained a little but or her courage.

"Find out" Draco shook her and then left her leaning against the wall. He turned about three steps away. "I was right about how to get his attention wasn't I"

"you didn't have to hurt me though" She glared back. Draco walked back over to her and touched her cheek suddenly caring.

"I didn't want to Guin you know that but really what your doing is a great help, and you want me to be happy right?"

"Right"

"I'm sorry I shook you Guinn"

"That's okay."

Hermione had heard enough as soon as Draco turned back around she sprinted in the other direction. She had to find Harry She had to warn him! She reached Harry just as he was entering the common room. Thankfully he was alone.

"Harry!" Harry was surprised to see Hermione, she usually studied in the library for much longer.

"Hey Hermione"

"Harry I've seen you walking at night with that Ravenclaw girl"

"what? Were you following me?"

"That's not the point!"

"yes it is Hermione why were you following me?"

"I'll explain later, what does she ask you?" Hermione looked panicked and Harry was so confused he was about to burst why would she follow him?

"None of your bloody business!"

"But Harry she's telling Draco she's telling him everything you say. He's using her as bate to get to you!"

"what on earth! Have you gone mad!?"

"I just heard him asking her what she found out, about YOU!"

"Guinevere hates Draco, he was probably bullying her."

"No Harry." Hermione shook her head.

"Yes Hermione YES. Just because I am not telling you everything doesn't mean I am telling a Slytherine spy!" Harry was furious and with that he stalked out of the common room.

Later that night in the common room Ron sat between Harry and Hermione. Totally confused and trying hopelessly to start a conversation.

"Okay so you guys are both going to Dean's party tomorrow night right? Its in the room of requirement"

Harry simply nodded and Hermione shrugged . "Right I'm tired of this what the heck is wrong with you two, Harry you were excited about this party this morning!"

"yeah well that was before I realized I'm being followed!" Harry stared pointedly at Hermione who wouldn't meet his eyes.

"what? "Ron glanced then at Hermione "what are you talking about... do you know Hermione?!"

"It was for your own good you know and good thing I did too ,but you don't believe me! Just because you like that girl doesn't make her a good person!"

"You have no idea what kind of person she is"

"Oh and YOU do?"

"Yes as a matter of fact Hermione I DO!" Harry was angry now "Ron tell her to stop butting in where she has no place! She actually listens to you!"

"I'm sure she didn't mean to but in Harry, Hermione was just worried...and who is this girl anyway?"

"of course you take her side I should have known you'd take Miss Perfect's side!" With that said Harry stalked out of the room and up too bed. He didn't even want to talk to Gunivere right now.

Guinivere sat alone at the base of the tower. Harry had not come. She was thankful maybe he would just forget about her all together, nothing would make her happier. All she could do was hurt him, even if that was the farthest thing from what she wanted. Silently she got up and walked back toward her common room, tears rolling from her eyes.
