Hogwarts started in less than a week. Draco had no more dreams, but tried to sleep as little as possible. Finally, on the day of departure, he had gotten only about ten hours of sleep the entire week. Exhausted, Draco fell asleep on the train and woke up in the Hospital Wing. He sat up alarmed the instant he opened his eyes. White rushed into view. A vast difference from the calming black.

"Ahh!" He called out panting. He looked frantically around to figure out how he had gotten here.

"Relax Mr. Malfoy! Some students found you asleep on the Hogwarts Express, and could not wake you. So, you were brought here. Are you feeling ok? You have not gotten much sleep." Madam Pomphrey said looking pointedly at him. Draco's head throbbed. He closed his eyes and tried to think straight. 'No dreams. Good.'

"Uh, yeah I'm fine, I just have been really tired lately." Madam Pomphrey looked suspicious, and asked him if he was feeling ok again. He ensured her that he was all right and then left the Hospital Wing. In truth, Draco's head was spinning from deprivation of sleep. When he got out the door, he leaned his head back on the cold brick wall and closed his eyes for a moment. Knowing that he would be found out, he found himself walking to the common room. He climbed the spiraling stairs clumsily and wearily to his room.

Draco flopped into the green covered bed and fell asleep on the cloud-like surface. He was too tired to care about the dreams anymore.

---
Through the next week or so, Draco's sleep patterns had become more normal again, and he didn't remember having any dreams.
---No thats not the end. lol.---

One quiet night, Draco sat in the common room alone. He stared out the window onto the black shapeless grounds. He ran his tongue over his teeth and sat up straight. Jumping from his chair, and knocking it over, he stumbled up the winding stairs to the boy's bathroom. Jumping in front of the shining silver mirror, he flashed his teeth. They were pointed. Not long fangs or anything, but sharpened to a point. 'Oh no!' Draco thought panicked. He looked at them again. They shone whiter than new snow from his pale skin and dark lips.

Draco tried to be calm. He told himself he would just go to the Hospital Wing to have Madam Pomphrey fix his teeth. He ran out the portrait hole and started walking the deserted hallways trying not to panic anymore than he already was.

As he wandered, he found himself thinking he had no idea what time it was. A ghost popped out of a wall and startled him.

"Where are you going?" The lady asked him curiously.

"Hospital Wing." he said simply. The ghost smiled. Her shimmering smoke/water substance rippling in front of him, he took a step back.

"Where is everyone?" he asked while gazing through her poofy silver-gray dress to the opposite wall. The ghost lady looked at him strangely.

"They are probably in bed. The triathlon was today, remember silly? Everyone was exhausted." She giggled and shook her head causing her semitransparent curls to bounce around her plump face.

Well, ta! She called and waved, turning to float off.

"Wait!" Draco called after her. She stopped in midair and turned her head around 180 degrees. Draco shook off the disgust and asked what time it was.

"Past midnight my dear! Maybe one or two even." she called happily. She turned her head back and drifted through the cream-coloured brick behind her. Draco was confused and disgusted but continued roaming anyway, mumbling to himself.

"Everyone asleep. Ha. Those losers. I'm glad I didn't do the triath-" he was cut off when he walked into the stream of moonlight coming from a tiny, dust-covered window high above him. He watched the tiny flecks of dust swirl around in the faint light. He growled and the moonlight was covered by a dark, black cloud-plunging the hallway into a deep darkness.

-----------------------

Oliver had called a late-night Quidditch practice to prepare the team to play in dark conditions. Everyone was tired but groaned and practiced anyway, knowing Oliver would eventually force them to. After several hours of exhausting flying, everyone was too tired to barely see in the dim night-lit Quidditch pitch.

The team eagerly left toward the castle as Oliver finally called off practice. Harry and Oliver were the only ones left and they were talking about Quidditch. Actually, Oliver was talking. Harry was trudging in the dark tripping over stones and rolling his eyes. Oliver had gotten ahead of Harry and smiled. He called good-bye and went ahead into the castle. As Oliver came in, he didn't notice another figure sneak out undetected among the shadows of the enormous oak doors.
-------

When Oliver got to the common room, there was no one there. He was glad. He walked over to the window and stood looking into the distance. Running his tongue over his teeth, he found them sharp. Pressing the print of his left thumb against one of his front teeth, he poked a hole in it. Without even a flinch, he sucked on his thumb. Closing his eyes, the small hole sealed into a tiny scar. He licked the remaining blood from his teeth. He watched out the glassy window that reflected his every feature. Looking out like nothing had happened.

Even though it was pitch-black, he saw a blonde haired boy sneak from the grand doors and stroll toward another dark-haired boy. Oliver looked around the common room and back to the cold night. He watched in curiosity and fear, but still had an under gleam of a knowing look in his strangely darkened eyes...
