A/N- Another short chapter, I'm SORRY, this should be the last one. Which of course means it won't be, but anyway, this was supposed to be longer, but then one thing led to another and this happened(yes that is going to be my new excuse, please don't judge me). Once again, I'm sorry for the length, but I hope you enjoy, and please review!

Draco left the prefects' bathroom feeling refreshed, projecting confidence. He didn't have class until after lunch, so he decided to head for the Room of Requirement to work on his plan.

Halfway to his destination, Draco stopped abruptly in his tracks, realizing that he didn't have Crabbe or Goyle to act as lookouts. He weighed his options for a moment before steeling himself and continuing on his way. One time without them couldn't do that much harm, after all.

Once he'd reached the Room of Requirement, Draco glanced both ways before he began pacing in front of the wall trying desperately to focus on his mission, as opposed to the nagging thought that had wormed its way into his brain, reminding him what glancing both ways down the corridor had meant for the past few days. That she would be behind the door, for better or for worse. He scowled, shoving these thoughts from his mind as the door appeared before him. The door swung open, and he headed straight for the Vanishing Cabinet, where he got right to work, focusing on his mission to distract himself from the morning's events, not to mention those of the past several days.

A/N- Ugh, this chapter is so short and I'm REALLY SORRY, but if all goes well the next chapter should be long(and one of the last ones!). ALSO, I've started working on a new fic following Severus Snape throughout his time at Hogwarts. I won't be posting anything for that until I have a title for this one(it's just bad form to have two untitled fics going at once;)), and hopefully for that one as well, but anyway, I'll stop rambling. I hope you enjoyed this(really short I'M SORRY) chapter, and please review!
