Jared and Hermione stumbled into the Gryffindor common room laughing as they fall onto the couch together. Jared smiles as Hermione lands softly on top of him resting her head on his chest. Jared smiles as Hermione runs her fingers up his chest like they are walking. Jared smiles as her cold fingers reach his lips lightly teasing them before pulling away. Jared leans in kissing Hermione as she crawls up farther leaning her forehead against his as they kiss. Hermione smiles against Jared's lips as he runs his hand up the back of her shirt lightly rubbing her back. Hermione squirms as Jared's cold hands touch her bare skin but doesn't break away from his lips. Jared smiles as he gazes into Hermione's eyes losing all reality around him. Hermione smiles and runs her hand on Jared's chest as he rubs her back.
Abby and Ron come slowly walking into the common room holding hands. Abby looks up at Ron as they both see Hermione and Jared lying on the couch together. Jared's comes back to reality as his head turns quickly to Abby and Ron. Hermione falls off of Jared surprised by his quick actions. "So what was going on here" Abby says smiling brightly as Ron holds her hand. Jared smirks "Well uhhh nothing thats uhhhh what" he says unable to puts words together. Abby laughs as Jared helps Hermione up. Hermione's eye zoom in on Abby's and Ron's hands. "So what have you two been doing" Hermione says smirking already knowing what was going on. Abby blushes as she walks over to the chair sitting on Ron's lap speechless. Jared laughs laying back down on the couch as Hermione lays down pushing her hair out of his way. Jared smiles as she lightly nibbles on her ear. Eve enters the room trying to hide what she was up to.
Hermione's head turns quickly as she remembers what she walking in on earlier that day. Eve quickly walks into the sleep quarters trying to avoid any conversations. Hermione turns to Jared lightly kissing his cheek before going after Eve. Eve sits down on her bed as Hermione walks into the room."We need to talk" Hermione says to Eve as calm as she can. Eve nods and sits down "Ok so what do you want to know" she says sitting down in front of Hermione on her bed. "Okay so how in the bloody hell did this happen...I mean with the git Malfoy too" she says quietly trying to keep the conversation only between them. "Well it sort of just happened when my leg got cut...remember I told you about the sword falling...well I left out I save Malfoy's life...and well he pulled me into the storage closet and helped me but then kissed me and basically declared how he has had a crush on me since I came to Hogwarts" Eve says sighing all girly thinking back to the moment Draco kissed her. Hermione smiles "Well if your happy then I am" she says hugging Eve "And your secrets safe with me".
Jared stays on the couch staring at the ceiling as he turns his head towards Abby and Ron. "Wonder what that was about" he says sounding confused. Abby shrugs more confused that Jared and Ron is zoned out as his head rests on Abby's shoulder. Jared sighs and rests his head back down on the couch looking at the ceiling before closing his eyes slowly. Hermione reenters the room with Eve following behind her. Hermione retakes her position laying on top of Jared as he is lightly sleeping. Eve pulls up a chair staring at Hermione and Abby "Okay so what has happened today for you guys" she says smiling. Hermione smiles as does Abby indicating to Eve what has occurred. Eve smiles back as she looks at Hermione knowing her secret is safe.

Jared awakens on the couch feeling like it has only been minutes since he fell asleep. He rises off the couch and stretches his legs as he turns to walk up the stairs. A fire bursts to life in the fireplace alarming Jared. He turns around as the fire burns exerting immense heat even at the far distance. "Shit" Jared says as a chair appears blocking Jared's view seemingly feeding the flame. The chair bursts to flame as a figure appears claiming his throne. The chair spins around revealing the same figure from Jared's dreams he has been having. "Thought you would have gotten smarter" the figure proclaims in his deep sarcastic voice. Jared stands there grasping his wand tight between his fist. "What are you too dumb to talk Jared" the figure says flicking a spark at Jared's feet.
Jared begins to grow immensely angry as he almost snaps his wand in half with the burst of rage he is experiencing. "Who the hell are you" Jared says leaving the whole politeness locked away inside of himself. The figure claps "Bravo, Bravo...he can talk...and to answer your rather perplexing question" he says still acting sarcastic "The names Zane and don't wear it out". Zane smiles evilly as he begins to juggle three flaming balls in the air. Jared stares ready for Zane to make his move "How do you know my name" Jared asking ignoring Zane's intimidation. Zane laughs as tears fall from his face and instantly evaporate. "I can't believe you haven't figure it out yet Jaredmeboy...but I guess that what happens when your too stupid to notice the clues right in front of your face" he says dropping one fireball to the ground as it bursts burning the carpet. Jared steps back as the fire begins to spread rapidly burning everything in sight. Zane stands in the flames enjoying the mayhem he is causing as he disappears as the flame grows larger covering the walls.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jared's eyes fly opens as his heart begins to beat insanely. Hermione plummets off of Jared as he jumps up drenched in sweat. He looks around to see if it was a dream and sighs in relief remembering what Zane had said, clues right in front of your face. Jared looks down at the floor as Hermione stumbles trying to get up after her unsuspected fall. He frowns pulling her back onto the couch hugging her tight. "I'm so sorry" Jared says whispering into Hermione's ears as he lightly kisses her neck. Hermione smiles a little drowsy "It's ok I fell asleep too...did you have another nightmare" she says gazing into his eyes. Jared sighs laying back down as their foreheads meet. He kisses Hermione passionate and hard answering her question with the kiss.
