Chapter: 2
She sat upright, awake, suddenly as more lightening flashed around the room. The thunder that followed momentarily drowned out the gasps for breath.
Still breathing hard, she put a hand to her heart as if to calm it. It was then she realized that her body was slick with sweat and her brown hair clung to her neck and shoulders. 'The fourth time this week...' she mused to herself.
Wiping the sweat from her brow, she made to untangle herself from the sheets. When she was done she soundlessly swung her legs off the edge of the bed and carelessly threw a robe over her shoulders. 'A nice bath... that'll help me feel better...' She walked out of the room, and throught the common room before slipping out of the portrait hole and into the halls.
She was still somewhat shaky, but she was wide awake as she snuck down the vast corridors making her way to the fifth floor.
If she could make it to the prefects bathroom she would be home-free. At least until she had to get back to bed anyway. Pressing her back against the wall before a corner she pulled a small mirror from her pocket to get a look at what was beyond the bend. It was clear. She had, over the years, perfected her sneaking skills while avoiding the use of magic.
She quickly ran down the last hall before almost skidding to a halt in front of the statue of Boris the Bewildered. She murmured the password ('fresh and clean') and in a moment she was inside, already having snagged a towel.
She turned a few of the faucets to have the bath start to fill up, while she took a quick look around to make sure no one was there. Seeing the coast was clear she stripped out of her robe and pajamas and climbed into the bath that had just finished filling itself.
She was finally able to let herself relax into the warm water, letting all her thoughts drift away. Funny how such a simple thing could do so much good.
After what seemed to her like about an hour, she washed herself, and her hair thoroughly and climbed out of the water. When she was done drying herself off she did a quick cleansing spell on her discarded clothes before pulling them back on.
Looking at the ground, and heading towards the exit, mind clear and concience light she was a only a few steps away from the door when– SMACK!
The 6th year jumped almost completely out of her skin, her head snapping up to see who she had knocked into.
"Watch it Granger. You wouldn't want to cause any accidents because of your klutziness." the familiar drawl met her ears as her eyes registered silvery-blonde hair and gray eyes.
"Malfoy."
OK, I know, another horribly short chapter, this was probably worse than the first but, I am typing up chapter three and posting it today as well! Please review?
Love,
