"Oh my God. I cannot BELIEVE what I just did…" I think to myself as I walk back up to Gryffindor tower on a sunny Saturday morning. Actually, it was getting close to noon now, since I went along with Draco two more times just to make sure. The first thing I'm going to do when I get back is take a loooooooooooooong shower and wash of ferret's cooties off of me.

When I climbed through the portrait hole, who should be there but Ron and Harry? "Where were you last night?" they both ask me.

"I went to bed early" I lie.

"Yeah right. First of all, we know about Snape's assignment, so we waited up for you, and you never came back. Secondly, we asked Lavender if you were up there. She said no." Harry answered me sharply.

Uh-oh. What am I supposed to tell them? No one knows about this plan except for Dumbledore and Lupin. Neither of them wanted me to go through with it, and I didn't want to myself, but I did what I had to. The only problem was… It was kind of enjoyable. Don't get me wrong here, I still hate Draco Malfoy and I can't wait to see him die, but atleast I got to have a little bit of fun while starting to kill him.

Lucky for me, Ginny walks in right then. Saying a speedy goodbye to the guys, I run over and pull her aside.

"Ginny, I need you're help, and I can't tell you why. But believe me, you'll find out soon enough."

Smiling, she agrees to help. "What do you need?"

"I need an excuse for not coming back here last night."

Her eyebrow rises. "Well, this is certainly interesting… and I want an explanation sooner than later. But anyways, umm, just don't tell them where you were. They'll get bored with it after awhile."

"Thanks Ginny. I have to go tell Dumbledore something now. If you wanna come with, maybe you'll get an explanation."

AUTHORS NOTE

Yeah, this is really short, but atleast it's something. I would right more, but my ideas just left me…. I'll try to update sooner than later, but don't count on it…
