Hey guys thanks so much for the reviews! Sorry for the late update but here it is!

For some odd reason Hermione's heart was pounding as she knocked on the of Dumbledore's office.

She heard a muffled voice asking her to enter.

As she pushed the door open, she was greeted by the familiar sight of the numerous gadgets and gizmos in the Headmaster's office. Fawkes was more beautiful than ever.
Professor Dumbledore smiled and asked her to take a seat.

"What ever is the matter Ms. Granger? Have you found the culprit already?"

"Unfortunately, no professor. I came to see if I could get a different perspective. My only lead has proven faulty and I have no idea how to pick up from that."

"Well Ms. Granger shall we start off with taking out all the boys." Professor Dumbledore announced. He took out a list of supposedly al the students in the school, waved his wand until all the boys were out of the pictures.
After this he handed the list over to Hermione to work on and dismissed her from the office.

"This should make it easier." He continued. 'I hope you will not be discouraged or else I might have to take further action. This behavior is unacceptable in my school. Good day."

Hermione walked out and a wave of relief washed over her. She now had some place to start. It wouldn't be easy but she would have more leads.

She decided that the only place she wouldn't be disturbed would be the tower seeing that nobody, except for Draco, knew about the magnificent location.

As she made her way up the wooden ladder, she heard a sound behind her. Hermione whipped her head around only to find that there was nobody there what so ever.

This only lingered in her mind for a second and she opened the trap door.

Once she was up there she conjured up fluffy pillows and a flask of hot chocolate. Finally she sat down to finish the task she had started earlier that day.

DPOV

Draco was sitting in Arithmacy class not bothering to pay attention to the lesson being taught in front. He knew he could always get somebody to do his homework for him so he let his thoughts roam.

Bloody hell… what is wrong with her NOW! I can never get through to her…. Every time we start to get close, she goes and gets mad at me for no apparent reason! I can't believe she thinks that I was the one who ratted out her secrets. I certainly did not! I mean one, nobody would believe me and two, and even if they would they would have still been in shock that I talked to a muggle born in a civilized manner. Now I have to go any 'explain' myself which I don't understand whatsoever! Why do I feel the need to explain myself to her? It's not like i'm obligated to. I give up! I really do! Nothing I ever do anymore is right! I will shun myself from civilization! Yes that's what I will do. Wait… no… I don't want to distress all my fans here… Yes I have to stay for the sake of the girls in Hogwarts. They need me here. I guess I really do need to stay. I didn't realize how important I am to the balance of nature. No… I've always known I was important to Hogwarts.

With this he smirked.

The bell that signaled the end of class rang.

With this he decided to find Hermione and explain to her that it wasn't him that helped make the howler.

Meanwhile

Hermione had only managed to rule out a few students that she knew hated Draco. Mind you, this was not many. Actually there was only a handful. Almost enough to count on one hand.

This did NOT help.

She sighed at her lack of progress and decided to take a break. The brunette lay there looking up at the sky, letting her thoughts wander into another Dimension.

She snapped back into reality when she heard the trap door open.

It was the person she least wanted to see.

"I shall say it once again. I thought I might find you here." Smirked the Slytherin.

"What do you want Malfoy?" sighed Hermione. She was too tired to think of a come back for the boy.

"Are we on a last name basis again Granger?"

"Yes."

After a moment of awkward silence, Draco spoke up again.

"Look Hermione, I haven't told anybody about your secrets. I know how to keep secrets. You of all people should know that."

Anger filled up the mind of the witch. "Well then, WHO could have told! I haven't told anybody but YOU about my secrets!"

"Did YOU ever think that SOMEBODY ELSE could have heard US!" retorted a rather flustered Malfoy.

"NOBODY ELSE WAS BLOODY HERE!"

"HOW DO YOU KNOW!"

"BECAUSE!"

"BECAUSE WHAT!" Sneered the blonde

Hermione knew that he had defeated her but her pride would not let it show. She screamed, gathered her pieces of parchments and stomped out of the tower.

"Women" muttered Draco. He leaned against the edge and looked down. His thoughts buzzed urging him to go after her as well as to stay. He stood there not moving. Knowing that there was nothing he could do at this present moment.

Hermione stomped back to the common rooms not caring that people had begun to stare. She was enraged but at the same time in doubt.

Her heart wanted to believe him but her head told her otherwise.
Her head had too much logic and sometimes it did not register the fact that anything was possible in the Wizarding world.

Walking straight pass her two best friends in the corridor she ran to her room, thankful that she was head girl and that she could have some privacy.

She cast a series of spells before she let the tears fall down her cheek. She did not understand why she was crying but it helped her. Why she felt so miserable was beyond her knowledge.

The tears had exhausted her and she did not feel the need to go down for dinner. Se knew her best friends would worry but at the moment, this was the least of her worries.

That night she fell into a very uneasy sleep.

Not to the knowledge of the two heads, there was one very smug girl in Hogwarts at the moment.

"I will get him" she smiled evilly,

"I always get what I want."
