Dizziness

Patrolling the corridors at night, alone, isn't exactly what I had in mind when I became Head Girl. Of course there's a buddy system but it hasn't quite worked out. The Ravenclaw girl prefect that was supposed to be doing tonight's rounds suddenly got "sick" and the Ravenclaw boy prefect never showed up. When I went over to Ravenclaw house to drag his sorry ass out of there he wasn't even there! Apparently he had planned to ditch tonight.

So here I am walking the halls of Hogwarts alone and in the dark. Certainly I had cast the Lumos spell but still, the passageways of Hogwarts were eerie enough let alone hearing my footsteps vibrate off the walls. I swear I have gone deaf. I haven't heard the slightest noise that stated there was life within this castle.

Unexpectedly I hear a clanking of something falling to the stone floor; the first noise since I began. I heard it coming from up the way so I went to investigate. Quietly as I can I tiptoe down the hall. I raise my wand to see further down the passage. I am unable to see for a cloud of smoke is blown up right in front of me. I hear a cackle and know who it is.

"Peeves!" I scream. That damn poltergeist, I think.

I suddenly feel really dizzy; Fred and George's 'Knock-Em Out' Sleeping Gas. I try to get away from inhaling it but my legs are like jelly and I can't tell which way is up down, left or right. I'm so woozy I feel as though I'm going to collapse. Then, I do, but something catches me. I feel powerful arms wrap around my middle practically dragging me out of the gas.

Then the smoke works its 'magic'. I black out. The next thing I know I'm lying in a bed, a really big bed might I add. My eyelids are heavy but I manage to open them. The room is dark but I can see outlines of things. A desk, a chair, a dresser and the door. The door is left a jar. I hear clatter coming from beyond the door. Subconsciously I wonder where I am, because without question, this is not my room.

I sit up and take in my surroundings with more clarity in my head. There's a cloak hastily thrown across the chair at the desk. I strain my neck to see the patch on the cloak; it's a Slytherin's cloak by the badge. I start to get antsy and move to jump out of the bed. I find that I can't for as soon as I stand my head begins to spin and my vision blurs.

"You shouldn't be up." says a stern male voice. I know that voice, it seems so familiar.

I'm pushed back onto the bed. My feet are swept under sheets (which are green) and pulled up my body to lie softly on my chest just under my chin.

"Who are you? Where am I?" I ask. He chuckles lightly.

"You're safe. It's very early so go back to sleep." He recommends. His voice is silky and like a light, I was out.

I awoke a few hours later with the sun blinding me. I groaned and rolled over. A low laugh emits from somewhere.

"I know how you feel. The sun is my alarm clock." A man's voice says. I stop moving at his voice. I bolt up in bed and locate the sound. Although there is light in the room he is sitting in the shadows. I squint to see who it is but the shadows are too dark for my eyes to see through it. I instead look around the room to see the room nearly blank. No pictures; it was as if no one lived here. The only evidence of that were the clothes strewn about the room. My attention was brought to the sight of my school uniform neatly folded on the edge of the bed. My hands immediately flew to my chest to make sure I had clothes on. A second laugh was heard from the man and my head snapped in his direction.

"There's nothing to worry about. I changed you with magic. I know how picky you are with your clothes being wrinkly."

So he knew me? That well. I was stunned. He's laughing at me again. I screw up my face in questioning. He gathers himself and tells me,

"Your face was just fantastic." He puts his thumbs and forefingers together and brings his hands to his face. He utters a 'click' and his middle finger mimics pressing a camera button. He lets his hands drop from his face.

"That was a good picture." Even though I can't see him very well (my eyes haven't adjusted yet) I can tell he is smiling. Without warning he side steps out of the shadows. His blond hair is slightly covering his ice blue eyes and his clothes (t-shirt and black boxers) seem to say he's fit. I blink once, then twice to make sure I'm seeing correctly. I even rub my eyes. Once against he sniggers.

"I really am who I appear to be." He confesses. Once again I blink. "Wow are you actually speechless?" he smiles a genuine smile, "I made THE Hermione Granger speechless! I must alert the Daily Prophet!" He makes his way to the window and opens it. A rush of air is let into the room and papers that were once neatly stacked on the desk are scattered throughout the room. "Oh bugger." He damns the wind. We both bend down to pick up the papers. Like in the movies, our hands meet as we reach for the same paper. A blush creeps over my face as I yank back my hand as if I were electrocuted by lightning.

When I stand and realize what I'm wearing I nearly freak out. I'm wearing a long black shirt (supposedly his black shirt) that reaches down barely mid way of my thighs. He seems to have noticed. I try to pull the shirt down even further but his attention is directed higher as the shirt is stretched firmly across my chest. I yelp and drive for a sheet to cover my legs. He smiles widely. Obviously trying to hold back laughter (I just NOW realized how much he laughs). I frown at his repression but he keeps smiling. This is when I think I'll go.

"Can I uh – have some privacy? I'm gonna change and go now." I stutter. He nods and slips out of the room. I hurriedly throw my own clothes on and drop his shirt that I was wearing onto the bed.

I pick my way out of the bedroom and into a common room, his common room (Head dorms are separate from each other). I scan the room to see him sitting on the couch by the fire with a book in hand. I can't see what book it is but apparently he's not too interested as he immediately looks up at me as soon as I enter the room. He lays the book down on the end table and stands. I cross my arms and hug them close to my chest. I suppose I should thank him, so I do.

"Thanks for catching me." I begin but am interrupted.

"What makes you so sure I'm the one who caught you?" I glance away and think.

"Well if you didn't know you would ask me what I meant and wouldn't know what I'm talking about." I replied. He's stuck and I can see it, he sees it.

"Clever Miss Granger." He replies with his trademark smirk. A small smile spreads itself over my mouth.

"Well I think I'm gonna go." I tell him. I feel uncomfortable around him right now.

"Oh ok are you sure you don't want me to escort you to your room?" he asks kindly. I feel that blush back in the bedroom return.

"I'm positive." I insist.

"All right," he tells me, "be careful." I nod and make my way to the door.

Unfortunately I don't make it to the door. I trip, nearly twisting my ankle, but once again I feel strong arms hold me up from falling. I grab a hold of his arms and help myself up. I turn in his grasp to witness him smiling once again.

"What did I tell you?" he jokes, "I told you to be careful!" I look up at him as he grins softly. "Now I'm definitely going to escort you to your room." He takes a hold of my hand and drapes an arm around my waist. My arms rise up in surprise.

"You don't have to do that you know." I press.

"You're wrong there, I have to." I don't push him to tell me why he has to do this. He guides me to his door and opens it kindly for me.

As we walk the abandoned hallways the silence is a golden one. It's not awkward, well, maybe a little but I believe all silences are. As soon as we made it to my quarters we stop.

"Thank you, you really didn't have to." I say.

"It was my pleasure." He responds. I send him a smile. Surprisingly he kisses my forehead. I'm shocked that he, Draco Malfoy, would do such a thing.

"Goodbye. See you in class." He whispers gently before he walks away. I open the door to my rooms and stand in the door way still amazed at what happened. Noiselessly I close the door behind me.
