"Are you still awake?" said a voice from outside her room. Hermione climbed slowly out of bed and opened the door to Draco.

"Where did you go?" she asked curiously.

"Just for a wander," Draco replied. "I'm not tired yet…" he continued in a suggestive manor, taking Hermione by the waist so that his body pressed gently against hers.

"No, sorry Draco, I'm exhausted, why don't you start some research for potions if your so awake" she replied, with a cheeky yet serious tone to her voice.

He looked into her eyes, trying to figure out whether or not she was joking and decided not to chance it, as taking it slowly was bound to pay off in the long run.

"Ok," he said, "I might just do that." He kissed her lightly on the cheek and turned to leave in the direction of a quiet study room.

Hermione watched him go, quietly disappointed that he hadn't put up a fight.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Someone else was watching Draco that night, as he walked briskly through the school. The stalker crept silently behind him, not wishing for him to know she was there.

As he sat down in the study room and began to read the stalker appeared in the doorway. "You're up late." The girl said casually.

"I couldn't sleep" he replied, without looking up from his work.

"I came to give you a message." She continued. "It's your father… he's here to see you."

Draco looked up from his book with a panicked expression.

"What?... Where?"

'What could he want? Why is he out of Azkaban?' Draco wondered as fear spread through his body.

"Follow me," said the girl.

Draco followed her out of the school and in to the woods. He did not speak to the girl again for he was lost him his own thoughts.

'What if this is about Hermione? I hope she's safe. I'd do anything for her.'

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"In there" said the girl as they reached a small hut like building hidden from the path. Draco entered the empty building, looking around him for the familiar face of Lucius Malfoy.

"Colloportus!" said a voice. The door locked behind him.

As his eyes became accustomed to the light he realized that he was the alone.

"What is this?" He shouted to his desolate surroundings. "Father?"

But there was no reply.

He tried the door, but it could not be opened.

"Alohomora!" he cried in an attempt to open it. But the charm would not work.

'What is happening?' He thought, throwing his weight against the door.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Hermione, Hermione!" screamed a voice at her door.

"Ginny, what do you want… I know I said I liked early mornings but this is ridiculous."

"It's Harry… he's hurt," said Ginny, her voice filled with distress. Hermione arose quickly from her lethargic state.

"What's happened?" Hermione asked, with considerably less concern than appropriate.

She presumed Ginny was overreacting as she was particularly protective of her new boyfriend. Hermione usually thought this was sweet, but on this occasion was rather exhausted from her disturbed night.

"Neville found him this morning, he was unconscious, someone had cursed him Hermione!"

Hermione quickly changed in to her robes and followed Ginny to the first floor of the castle where Harry lay lifeless in the hospital wing under the expert care of Madam Pomfrey.

"Can you hear me Harry?" Ginny whispered emotionally as she knelt by the side of his bed. Harry did not stir.

Hermione was confident that Harry would be alright. After all Madam Pomfrey had not only tended to both Harry and Ron when they had sustained dragon inflicted injuries but had cured Hermione when she half-turned herself into a cat with Polyjuice Potion and had successfully grown back the bones in Harry's arm. Nonetheless she was still awfully worried about her good friend.

"I don't know when he'll wake up" Madam Pomfrey said to the two girls.

"It's that serious?" Hermione asked.

"What happened to him?"

"He sustained considerable head injuries" she said in a caring manner.

"As well as being afflicted with innumerable curses… I have cured most of them, and tended to his head… but he still hasn't woken." She continued.

"We'll leave it until this afternoon."

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Have any of you seen Malfoy?" said a flustered Ron from the door.

Hermione and Ginny both turned to look at their red faced friend.

"Not since last night Ron, why?" replied Hermione, hoping he hadn't heard about what had gone on. Ron and Harry still held a grudge against Draco for the years of taunting and his increasing malevolence through the past five years at Hogwarts.

"Haven't you heard? He's gone missing, right after someone did this to Harry!"

"Malfoy did this?" said Ginny through angry tears.

"I'm sure he didn't… he wouldn't" said Hermione, quick to jump to his defence.

"Why not? He's a slime ball! Don't tell me you believe he's changed since Lucius was sent to Azkaban, that's utter rubbish. Malfoy could never change!" Ron fumed.

"I'm going to try find him" said Hermione, rushing out of the wing before any questions could be asked.

……………………………………………………………………………………………...

Several hours later an exhausted Hermione collapsed on her bed. She had searched every inch of Hogwarts and Draco was no where to be seen. 'Where could he be?' she wondered, filled with worry.

'He would never have done that to Harry… would he?'

"No!" she exclaimed to the empty room. She felt terrible for doubting him.

'But where could he be!' A tear ran down her cheek as she climbed into bed, still dressed in her Gryffindor robes and pulled the covers over her head.

'Perhaps none of this would have happened if I had just let him stay last night.' The thought made her want to hide. She buried her self in the covers as if they could hide her from the world.

……………………………………………………………………………………………

Thud..thud..thud. Malfoy threw himself at the door of the isolated building. His body felt weak. He hadn't slept in over 30 hours, although to him it felt like days. He rested his head against the wall. His vision was blurred and his skin bled from the splintered wooden door. Draco's weary body slipped down the wall to the stone floor, and with his face pressed against the cold dusty surface he closed his eyes.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"How is he?" Lavender Brown asked Ron.

"Well you can see for yourself" Ron replied not taking his eyes off Harry. Lavender had come to the hospital wing with Luna Lovegood to see how Harry was.

"Are you okay Ron?" asked Luna, resting her hand sympathetically on his shoulder. Ron had been in the wing since Hermione had left that morning.

"Yes, just worried." He replied.

"Had loads of visitors though. Hasn't he Ginny?"

"Yea, thanks guys!" she said, looking up at Luna and Lavender with a forced smile.

Harry lay in the same state he had been in since that morning. He hadn't stirred.

"Any news on Malfoy?" asked Ron

"No!" replied Luna, "bit suspicious isn't it?"

"Hmm a little, why would he just disappear without telling anyone?" added Lavender. "Parvati and I heard people talking about his father in care of magical creatures earlier." She continued.

"What about his father?" Ron asked looking up at Lavender.

"I'm not sure" she replied. "Someone said that he may be out of Azkaban… I couldn't hear much … anyway, we should be going really, sorry we couldn't stay longer."

"Ok, thanks Lavender!" Ron said, "Thanks for coming!" The girls left the hospital wing, leaving Ginny and Ron to themselves.

"Everyone's so concerned," said Ginny, turning to Ron.

"I know, it's nice! I'm scared though Gin, why hasn't he woken up yet?"

"I don't know" Ginny sobbed as Ron put a comforting arm around his little sister.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

"Hermione wake up" said Draco, standing over her bed.

"Draco! Where have you been?" Hermione asked with concern.

"It doesn't matter" he replied "I just need to know your safe."

He wondered if she trusted him. He could barely remember anything since the previous night; he couldn't remember the pain as his body hit against the locked door again and again. He couldn't remember if he slept. He couldn't even remember how he had got out of the building.

"We'll talk about it later, ok?" he said, reassuringly.

He took sat down next to her taking her hand in his. He placed his other hand lightly on her waist bringing her closer to him. Letting go of her hand he gently brushed the hair from her face and pressed his soft lips against hers. She didn't resist. He held her tightly, forgetting completely about the horrific day, nothing else mattered now.

As they lay entwined on the bed something stole his attention. He could hear a faint sound…bang… Bang… BANG. It got louder and louder. Someone was at door…
