Chapter 7: Don't Get Caught Again!

Harry followed Ginny out of the corridor. He had to admit that he was impressed by small, quiet Ginny Weasly. Ever since his second year Harry never knew much about Ginny, except for the fact that she had a huge crush on him, but that didn't move her to strike up conversation between them.

"Okay the coast is clear on this floor," Ginny smiled and looked at everyone.

"Well now what?" Hermione asked.

"We have to go back if we see any sign of Snape or McGonagall on this floor," Harry piped up, "So, we can't go that far from the door."

"Oh come on!" Malfoy added his two cents.

"What?" Harry asked annoyed.

"We aren't just going to stand here all afternoon are we?" Malfoy didn't really expect an answer. "We might as well have stayed in the classroom!"

"Well what do you want to do? The world lies at your feet!" Ginny said sarcastically.

"I'm hungry."

"We just ate!" Hermione said as though appalled by his appetite.

"Don't tell me you guys actually ate that crap?" Malfoy laughed.

"I thought it was alright," said Hermione while glancing at the ground, "Didn't you think so, Harry?"

"What? I didn't eat any."

"Ginny? Cho?" Hermione asked them both but they shook their heads. "AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT TRUSTS SNAPE!?"

"Oh come on Hermione, you know that answer to that!" Harry stared at her unbelievably.

"Malfoy?"

"Even though I'm in his house doesn't mean I trust the guy. He'd knock me senseless if I let it spill that he sleeps with a stuffed cauldron every night." Malfoy's eyes widened. "Did I just say that out loud?"

"Yep," Ginny giggled.

"Opps," Malfoy shrugged it off and sighed. "So?"

"Well, if everyone's up to it we could make a run for the kitchens." Harry stared at Ginny in amazement. What is going on?

"We'll never make it!" Cho said while ringing her hands. "I can't afford another detention!"

"We all can't afford another detention, Puffy Eyes!" Malfoy rolled his eyes. "Everything isn't always about you!"

"You're one to talk!" Cho replied, " 'MR. I'M SO RICH, LOOK AT ME!'"

Malfoy's eyes turned cold, well colder than normal, and his brow sank. Harry could feel it building up. Surely Malfoy wouldn't hit a girl, but then again look at his dad. Harry stepped in front of Cho and stared Malfoy in the face.

"Don't mess this up, Malfoy," Harry whispered coldly. "Now come on everyone we're leaving."

"Wait!" Ginny gasped. "Prefect coming! Quick in this classroom!" Ginny yanked Malfoy by the collar into the empty classroom. They all sat in silence while watching the Ravenclaw prefect inch by the empty class room. Once the prefect rounded the corner Ginny let out a big sigh.

"That was too close," said Cho.

"Well let's go." Ginny opened the door and led to way down the stairs toward the main floor dodging prefects and Filch left and right. In the end they finally reached the main floor.

"Why are you so good at this?" Malfoy asked breaking the vow of silence he had taken up on the way.

"What do you mean?" asked Ginny while glancing at the map.

"You've got us out of every scrape." Malfoy smirked. "I think I'm right in assuming that this whole escaped is similar to why you are in detention in the first place."

Ginny's face went red. Harry's interest was now focused on Ginny, as was everyone else's. "Yeah, come on, Gin tell us why you got locked up with us!"

"Alright, I'll tell you," Ginny took a deep breath, "But you can't tell Ron! He'd kill me!"

"Oh wow this must be good," Malfoy leaned against the wall in attempts to get comfortable.

"Okay do you guys remember when the Chamber of Secrets was opened?" Their heads all nodded in unison. "Well since then I haven't felt the same, like something came over me, other than Voldemort, when I wrote the messages. I liked that feeling, the feeling of being sneaky, so I suppose I developed a knack for it."

"That is until you got caught," Malfoy laughed. Ginny threw him an evil glance.

"If you're going to interrupt me I don't see why I have to even tell you guys." Ginny threw her nose in the air in a huffy motion.

"I apologize, I swear on the Honorable Malfoy Name that it won't happen again."

"Like that swear has a good support behind it!" Snorted Hermione.

"Hermione!" Harry gave her a warning glance.

"Anyways, ever since then I've been sneaking out after hours with the Marauders' Map." Ginny finished.

"That's it?" asked Malfoy. "That can't be it!"

"Yeah Gin, tell us where you've been going!" Harry piped up.

"Well this is why I don't want you to tell Ron." Ginny's face grew redder.

"Get on with it," Malfoy whined.

"I've been meeting up with Colin Creevey in an empty broom closet on the third floor," Ginny gasped.

"So? Why would Ron be mad?" asked Cho.

"Don't be so naïve, Chang! It's obvious she hasn't been meeting up for a friendly chat about what happen in Charms class that day." Malfoy smiled evilly. "Tell us what was going on when you got caught!"

"YOU ARE A PERVERT, DRACO MALFOY!" Hermione yelled. Harry lunged forward to cover Hermione's mouth but he was too late.

"Ginny? Is anyone coming?" Harry asked worriedly.

"Snape's heading toward us right now!" Ginny squealed. "Run for it!" Everyone scattered like ants in panic but each ended up behind the same tapestry. "Don't make a sound!"

Snape slithered by eyeing the tapestry. He inched his way toward it smiling evilly. "I've got you now Potter!" He ripped back the tapestry with one swooping motion. The smile faded instantly. They weren't there. Snape stumbled back in awe. He walked away after feeling up the blank wall, eying it suspiciously.

Little did he know that the wall was a doorway to freedom for those who wish not to be seen. Like a scene from a science fiction movie Harry, Ginny, Hermione, Cho, and Draco stumbled out of the wall doubling up with laughter.

"Did you see his face?" Hermione laughed.

"It was like he'd seen Potter in a speedo!" Malfoy cracked.

For some reason that comment made Harry laugh more. It wasn't the comment, he knew, but just the relief of not being caught by the one teacher that would make his life a living hell. The laughter died out and an awkward silence filled the space between them.

"So what were you doing when you were caught?" asked Harry.

"Harry!" Ginny rolled her eyes and started laughing again.
