Previous Chapter: "I better go, too. I will see you in class. Bye..." Hermione left Nick there and also walked toward the castle. She was thinking about Draco. 'What is wrong with him? Isn't he suppose to happy to be with Nick?' Hermione thought.

4. Lost

Hermione went her room and lied down on her bed and thought of Draco. He seemed unhappy whenever Nick is around him and she wondered why. She didn't know how long she had been in her bed and she didn't even bother to have breakfast, and she realised that she had potion class. She was late. She got dressed very quikely and ran out of her room.

"Oh great, today is my first day and I am late for the class and I am lost..." Hermione said as she was running. She had been running about thirty-mitutes.She couldn't remember where the classroom was, and further more she didn't know where she was but she kept running to find her classroom. She couldn't find anyone there, she was scared. She couldn't even remember how to go back to her dormitory.

"Is anyone there?" Hermione shouted for help, for many times but there wasn't reply.

She just sat on the floor and all she could see was endless dark corridor. She cried silently. At that moment, all she could think of was how to get out of there. After sitting on the cold floor about an hour which gave her a chill, she stood up and walk through the dark corridor again not knowing where she was going. She walked through the dark corridor about an hour her face down, still crying. 'What if I couldn't find my way back to dormitory...' Hermione thought, and all the scary thoughts ran through her head and this thoughtsmade her ran again but soon she decided to walk because she was exausted. While she was walking, she walk through someone. She looked up but she could just see a tall dark figure.

"What are you doing here Hermione?" a boy said. It seems like, the boy was suprised to find Hermione there.

"How do you know me?" Hermione said still trying to see who it was but everything was so blur to her because she was crying but the voice was very familiar but the corridor was too dark to see him.

"I... I am Nick." the boy said oddly.

"Nick?" she could see Nick very clearly at that moment.

"Thank god you found me." Hermione hugged Nick very tightly not wanting to let go and she didn't care whether he was in Slytherin house or the twin brother of her enemy, but to her surprise Nick huggedherback. Hermione could feel his heart beating and he was so warm. They had been like that about five minutes.

"Umm... Hermione..." Nick said first.

"Oh... Sorry... I was just so happy. What are you doing here anyway?" Hermione asked clearing her tears.

"I... I was looking for you..." Nick said.

"Really? Thank you so much..." Hermione said and they both walk together. It seemed like Nick know the way.

"But how did you know I was here? And why aren't you wearing school robes?" Hermione asked to Nick who was wearing jeans and t-shirt.

"Oh... we don't have any class today... so I just changed." Nick said.

"How about the potion class?"

"Oh... Professor Snape was not well so he cancelled it." Nick answered very simply.

"Nick... Why are you... nevermind." Hermione said. 'Why is he wearing Draco's clothes anyway? He isn't Draco... I mean he just can't be...' Hermione thought to herself, looking at the clothes then she saw his face but she wasn't sure because he looked exactely like Draco and Nick. She was sure that Draco was wearing it in the morning but still she wasn't sure whether it was Draco but he said that he was Nick. They walk together side by side, not talking to each other.

'I hope she didn't recognize me...' Draco thought as he was walking. Indeed he was Draco and he was there to find Hermione. He just didn't wanted her to know it was him.

"Did you cry?" Draco asked looking at long corridor.

"Umm... to be honest with you... yes... Do I look awful?" Hermione asked, blushing.

"No, no... You look beautiful..." Draco said in a low voice and he wasn't lying but he was hurt to hear that she cried. But he did really thought she is beautiful. 'Hermione I will never make you cry again...' Draco thought to himself as he was looking at Hermione who was walking silently beside him.

I just want to let you know that in this chapter Draco pretended as he was Nick... so don't get confused... Nick isn't in this chapter!
