Chapter Nine: Busted!

Hermione, Ron, and Harry slowly and quietly walked through the deserted halls. Harry had out his Marauder's Map. Filch and Mrs. Norris were at the other side of the castle, thankfully. When the trio reached the stairway leading to the Astronomy Tower, they decided to silently talk, because Draco and Crowley hadn't arrived yet.

"So Hermione, what did Malfoy say to you anyway?" Ron asked.

Hermione blushed a little. No point lying to them she thought to herself.

"He—well…he sort of asked me out…"

Ron and Harry started bursting into fits of laughter.

"The little ferret asked you out? No wonder he is so nice to us! I bet he is just trying to use this plan as a distraction so he could get into your pants, Hermione! Malfoy has some serious issues!" Ron exclaimed, laughing.

"Oh no…that wasn't my intention, Weasley. I was actually trying to get into your pants," Draco said softly, making them all jump.

"Actually that sounds promising. Weasel and Ferret: The amazing love duo," Harry said jokingly.

"Ahem. Last I heard, we were going to interrupt a sexual intercourse. This isn't exactly what we planned," Crowley interrupted them.

"Right. Let's get back to business…do you all remember your positions?" Draco asked them.

There was a general murmur of agreement and then Draco spoke.

"All right…it is 9:26. They will be coming here any minute. Run to your positions now! Good luck!" Draco whispered.

All of them ran away to their spots. Two minutes later, they heard footsteps. It was two teenagers, holding hands. One of them was giggling at what the other said. Dean and Padma climbed up the stairway. When the team was sure that the two of them were making out in the Astronomy Tower, they began the plan. First, Harry slowly and quietly walked up the staircase. He had on his Invisibility Cloak. When he came to the last step, he walked into the room. What he saw surprised him…Dean and Padma were fully unclothed and the two of them were making out near one of the desks. Their clothes lay crumpled in a pile. Harry slowly walked up to the pile of clothes, being very careful not to trip over them. He quickly grabbed the clothes and walked back quietly down the staircase. He saw Ron along the way and gave him the Invisibility Cloak. When Ron got the signal, he climbed up the staircase, like Harry had with the Invisibility Cloak covering him. He walked into the room and almost yelled. What he saw was not pretty. They are as disgusting as barn animals, he thought to himself.

Ron counted to three and began moaning.

"Ooooooohh….oooooohhh!" Ron moaned like a ghost.

Dean and Padma broke away. Padma looked frightened.

"Oh Deany! What is going on? I think I hear a ghost! What are we going to do?"

"Let's run away! Quick! Put on your clothes. Let's have sex some other time!"

The two of them looked for their clothes everywhere, but couldn't find them.

"What in heaven's name are we going to do?" Padma asked almost in tears.

"Let's just risk it and run back to our common rooms!" Dean replied.

"But we are stark naked!"

"Like I said, we will just risk it."

Dean and Padma quickly ran to the door, but before they could make it out, the door immediately shut. They didn't notice that Hermione was behind the door all that time. Suddenly, a large net dropped on top of them. Crowley was in the room all along, hiding behind on of the desks. When he saw the door shut, he immediately crept behind them and covered the two with a large black net. Dean and Padma were struggling, like fish to get out. The door opened and Draco appeared.

"You are so busted," Draco said softly.
