Harry sat down on his bed, thinking to himself... wondering what was going on. "Where is she?"He said aloud, standing up. He quickly looked over at Ron's bed. He had not woken up, so he walked out of the dormitory, and went to the owlrey. He called Hedwig down to him and quickly scrawled down something on a piece of paper.
"Hermione,
Where are you? Are you okay? Whats going on? You need to hurry up and get back before people start talking!
Love,
Harry"
He attached his note to her leg and told her to take it to Hermione. "Hedwig, I need you to find Hermione and give this to her. Don't leave until her see her going through the doorway. Good luck." As he watched her soar through the open window.
HERMIONE AND DRACO'S ROOM
"Good morning, sweetheart. How are you today?" Hermione rolled over and opened her eyes, to find Draco right next to her. She thought about last nights events. 'Umm... dinner, and.. oh ya.' She looked up at him and gave him a smile. He leaned in and kissed her lightly before getting up. He heard a gentle knocking coming from the window. "Hermione? Does this owl belong to you?" said Draco carrying the owl from the window over to her. Hermione reconised the owl at once. It was Harry's owl, Hedwig. She untied the note to Hedwigs leg, and read aloud.
"Hermione,
Where are you? Are you okay? Whats going on? You need to hurry up and get back before people start talking!
Love,
Harry"
Hermione put down the paper and looked up at Draco. "Well..."
"Lets get going Hermione. We can always come back." Said Draco, putting on his robes that had gotten strewn across the floor after the nights events. He chuckled to himself... remembering about the night before. Hermione came up and grabbed him from behind. "Draco Malfoy, I love you so much." She said as she turned him around. He smiled and leaned in to kiss her. Their lips came together like a magnet. Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck, as Draco wrapped his arms around her waist. They held each other, not wanting to leave. Everything was just to prefect. The clock chimed at 9, when they finally released each other. They came out of the Prefects room, Draco coming out first and Hermione bringing up the rear. They walked silently throught the hallway, Draco slightly in front of Hermione, their hands tightly at their sides. People came up and talked to them as they passed. Ginny ran up to Hermione asking where she was. " Hermione, where did you go last night? I couldn't find you, I really need to talk to you. Will you be in the Common room tonight?" "Yes, of course, Ginny. I'll be up there tonight. Sorry I wasn't able to help you last night, I pulled an all-nighter in the library. I have a big test today."
Draco looked worried, wondering if Ginny really knew about what was happening. When Hermione finally pulled away from Ginny, her and Draco were once again, walking, their hands tightly to their sides. "What was that all about? I thought that the only people who knew were Potter and Weasley... the older Weasley." Said Draco out of the corner of his mouth. "Yes, they are the only ones who know. But, a lot of people want to know why you were in my common room." Said Hermione looking at him. "What did you tell them?" said Draco, stopping to look at Hermione. "Don't worry, I told them that we had an emergency Prefects meeting, and you had to come and let me know about it." She said, smiling at him. "Come on, Malfoy... I'm going to be late for my next class if you don't hurry up." She said, laughing... laughing her way right into Professor McGonall. "Professor..."she stammered.
"Ms. Granger, Mr. Malfoy. Will you please come to my classroom?" They looked at each other in pure terror. Hermione had no idea what was going on... "What happened? Did Harry and Ron tell? Did Draco? What happened?" kept going across her mind. She looked at Draco with a confused face and he shrugged and kept looking ahead. They went into the classroom and waited. Professor McGonagall came out with a pink, lacy bra. "Do either of you know who's this is?" she said, holding it so both of them can see it. "Umm... no, Professor... I've never seen it before." They both said, looking at each other quickly. "I know that you both didn't do this. Between you and me, I want you to try and find out who this belongs too. I found it early this morning in the prefect meeting room. You two are my most trusted prefects. I need you to find out who's this is and report back to me. That will be all. Your excused." She said before leaving the classroom, leaving the two of them alone. "Oh my God! Draco, what are we going to do? I can't believe this! How could she notice? How? I'm going to be expelled... killed... something!" she said, tears running down her cheeks. "Hermione! Its going to be alright! Nobody is going to find out. I promise." Said Draco wrapping his arm around her. She looked up and gave him a half-hearted smile. The bell rang, and they both got up and walked to their next class together. "Ms. Granger... Mr. Malfoy, do you have a note for me? Or, did you just forget about my class?" He drawled on, coming closer. Hermione could see the gray hairs in his greasy mane as he got closer. "Professor McGonall needed to speak to us about private prefect matters, Professor Snape." Said Draco, taking his normal seat in the back of the classroom. "Todays potion is the Truth serum. The drinker only needs to take one drop of this potion, before they start pouring out their hearts content to the whole class. Mr. Malfoy and Ms. Granger, since you missed the beginning of this lesson, you are each others partners. Get to work. The directions (he taps the board) are on the board. You have two hours. Begin."
Hermione eagerly started on the potion. Within an hour and 15 minutes, with a little of Draco's help, she had this potion done.
Professor Snape approached them with a vial and scooped up alittle of the potion to take to his desk. After closely examining the potion for any mistakes or flaws, (not for Hermiones sake, but for Draco's) he stood up and asked for the two of them to come forward. He cleared his throat, "Anyone who has managed to complete this potion correctly, will be able to question Ms. Granger and Mr. Malfoy for the last 15 minutes of class today. Please bring your bottles to me, so I may test their potion to see if it has been done correctly."
Hermione stared at the clock, and glanced over at Draco. He gave her a warm smile, and whispered "don't worry, it'll be ok" in her ear. Professor Snape once again approached them with their bottle of the Truth potion. He gave it first to Hermione, who looked again at Draco and then took and small drink. She then gave it to Draco, who drank the rest of it in one glup. They stood up, bracing themselves for the painful 15 minutes that stood before them.
"Okay, ask your questions now." Said Draco.
Many students in their potions class quickly raised their hands.
(QUESTION AND ANSWER)
"Hermione, what is the worst thing that you've ever done?" " I once forgot to answer the last question on a test, so I went back after class and finished it." (Snape left the classroom at this point.)
"Draco, are you still a virgin?" "No, I lost my virginity at a very early stage."
" Hermione, what size of bra do you wear?" " I am happily fitting into a 34 C at the moment."
"Draco, who is the last person you've had sex with?" (Snape re-enters) "Ms. -----
"That question is completely out of line! Pack up your things and please leave my classroom." Intrupted Professor Snape. "Mr. Malfoy and Ms. Granger, please stay behind for a few moments." He said as he saw them packing up their things and heading for the door. "My office." He said pointing towards a door at the front of the room. They silently walked towards the door. When all three people were inside the room, Professor Snape walked over to his desk, opened the drawer and pulled out a tape, walked over to the T.V. and slipped the tape in. "I'll leave you two to look over this tape. After its over, I'll come back into the room and talk to you about it and the expectations that you now have." He left the room, closing the door with a snap.
Hermione and Draco looked at each other. Draco took the remote and pushed play. It instantly pictured an empty room somewhere in the castle. To Hermione and Draco it just looked like an empty room in the dungeons. "What are we supposed to be watching this for? It doesn't look like anything... except an empty room." Said Hermione as they continued to watch the empty room. Draco nodded and started to fast forward the video. He stopped suddenly when he saw the room transform into the same room that they had been in the night before. Afew minutes later he saw himself and Hermione walk in. He turned to her, and together they watched everything that happened last night. When the gruesome tape was over, Professor Snape come in and sat behind his desk. He looked intently at the two of them as they stared in shame at the bare floor. "Well, will anyone care to explain what went on in this tape?" said Professor Snape, looking from Draco to Hermione. "Or perhaps I should tell my story of how I found out what was going on?" He said once again looking from one to the other of the two students. "Very well, I will. I have been watching over this room for a very long time... the reason is not important at this time. Anyway, the camera that I installed only reacts to movement. In which case it reacted to you both the minute you stepped foot into the Room of Requirement. Now, the fun part. I only looked at the tape because of the fact that Professor McGongall had told all of the teachers about the bra found there early this morning. I haven't yet told any of the teachers about this matter... but there's only one thing to make me keep my mouth shut." He looked up at Hermione. "You."
Hermione gasped in horror at Draco, and looked back into Professor Snape's dark eyes.
"What must I do?"
