NOW BACK TO YOUR REGULARLLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING!!!!

The room was definitely spacious, with black plush carpet. The colors were, of course, based off of the pureblood house, Slytherin. The walls were painted light gray with the Slytherin Crest covering the majority of the north wall. A single window, along the east wall, to see the dawn, when the thick green curtains were pulled back, let moonlight into the room. Shimmering silver sheer enveloped the bed, which was draped in a heavy dark green comforter. An overstuffed satin emerald chair sat in the corner.

Rory gasped, astonished, then simply marveled at the eloquent room, after overcoming the shock. The guard smirked and said, "Nice, isn't it? But I guess you're used to such elaborate furnishings...?"

"Oh, no!! Where I live, in the country, the furniture is for living, not nearly so proper. I don't travel much, either. So..." she trailed off.

"Ahhh...yes, understandable, I suppose," the guard mumbled. "Is everything adequate? You are content?" the guard asked concerned (for his job, Rory knew.) She nodded curtly, and he said, "Then I'll be off..." She heard the door slam and heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

She smiled slightly and closed her eyes. She was satisfied with herself. Soon it would be morning, and she would have to visit Malfoy before dawn. 'Not Malfoy particularly...everyone.' A scowl drew itself across her face as she mentally scolded herself. Rory knew she couldn't let emotions get in the way of this mission. It was her responsibility to get these prisoners to safety and she would do it at any cost. She would not fail.

Her eyes wide with apprehension, Rory glanced at the alarm clock on her end table. It flashed '4:00 AM.' She pulled herself out of her haven, beneath the warm, inviting comforter. She shivered slightly as she was only wearing a navy blue cami and her black jeans. Rory slinked over to her doorway and pulled on her black leather boots. She cautiously creaked the door open just enough for her to slip through.

Rory sauntered, alert and stealthy, down the corridors. 'Left, left, right, second door on the left...Yes!' Rory looked at the steel door. Just to the right of it was a hook containing a ring of keys, which she immediately grabbed. She observed each key individually, until she absolutely sure which key it was. It was a great gift, her photographic memory that often helped her in school, and even as a soldier.

Rory stuck the key in the slot and spun to the right. She heard a faint 'click' and knew it was unlocked. She flicked the heavy metal handle down, opening the creaky door. Her eyes were met with a beam of moonlight coming in through a barred window. Her eyes quickly adjusted to the different lighting. She looked around and noticed her potions master sleeping in a corner, and her other colleagues in an awkward position. Sirius was lying on his back and Kel was cuddled around him, head resting on his chest.

Rory looked at the two in horror. 'They're cold. That's it. Just cold.'

She calmed herself down and crept over to Draco's cell. He was sleeping on the floor, just as she had left him earlier. She slipped the key that went to his cell into the hole and swung it open slowly. She walked over to the platinum blond boy...no...man, (a/n grin) and kneeled before him, yet again. She gently touched his back, which was almost completely bare. (a/n bigger grin) It was still scarred, and she could tell it was causing him pain, but he would live.

Rory found herself looking at his face. He looked so angelic sleeping there. She could hardly believe he was such a jackass to her in school. He seemed to be changed, though. Maybe he did, but she wasn't one to let someone in right away. He would have to gain her trust and friendship, like everyone else. She simply stared at him for a while, but she found herself gently pushing a stray strand of hair out of his eyes. It was soft, unlike it was in school, and hung into his face adorably.

Before she knew what she was doing, she tenderly placed a kiss on his forehead. At this point, she panicked. 'Why did I do that? I can't let him in. He doesn't deserve it...but what if he changed?' She quickly got up and raced out the door, quietly shutting it behind her. She darted out the dungeon door, returning the key to its hook and closing it. She ran down the corridors, back to her rooms.

Rory recognized the obscure carvings on the door. She swung it open and slipped inside. She pulled her boots off and crawled into her bed, covering herself in the gleaming throw.

She closed her eyes and sighed. She didn't know what she was doing. It was all falling apart.

'I'll sleep on it.' Amber eyes slipped shut and soon her breath was deep. She would have to deal with this tomorrow, but right now, sleep was what she needed.
