Ok here's the next chappie. OMG you guys are amazing thank you for all the wonderful reviews it made me so happy : )

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter

Draco's storm grey eyes searched the crowd frantically for who he knew should be there, but couldn't see. I could have sworn that was him…No it can't be he's gone, in hiding somewhere with those other idiot followers of that grotesque half blood.

Despite his desperate reasoning Draco found his heart would not be so easily slowed. He turned to his instinct then, pulling Hermione who was staring at him in quiet confusion, out the door toward his bike. The rush of cold air as the outer door to the club opened was a surprising comfort, he embraced it whole-heartedly and moved to the Ducati, grabbing his helmet and holding out Hermione's for her to take.

The cold air seemed to snap 'Mione out of her confused fog and questions began to bubble up inside her faster than she could process them. The first to actually make its way to her mouth though was, "Draco what just happened?"

He stared at her a moment as if contemplating his answer very carefully. "It was nothing," he dismissed, "I just thought I saw someone I knew that's all." Feeling he couldn't put up with anymore questions at the moment without blurting something he would seriously regret later, he mounted his bike and revved the engine. "Hurry up and get on Granger or I'll leave you here and you'll have to get back on your own."

'Mione's mouth pressed into a thin white line, her eyes never leaving his, a silent battle of wills. Draco revved the engine again a confident smirk slipping into his already insolent features. He'd won.

Damn him. 'Mione thought as she grabbed the helmet from Malfoy's waiting hand. Reluctantly she climbed on behind him, scolding herself mentally for enjoying the closeness between them so much. What's got him so spooked anyway? She looked back at the club as they pulled away and thought she saw a tall ominous figure with almost bleached white hair it was so blonde In his hand he had… a cane? A swift mental image of Lucius Malfoy slithered through her thoughts. Before she could get a better look though, Draco was tearing away from the club full throttle.

The rush of night air and the damp ozone smell of rain to come were incredibly relaxing to Draco and after they were a good distance from the club. The silence surrounding them was uncomfortable to say the least, but Draco who was quite accustomed to said silences did not have any intention of breaking it.

Hermione however was not so patient; she was used to the incessant chatter of friends and found it quite disconcerting to be surrounded in almost absolute quiet. Carefully she chose a relatively neutral subject asked quite casually.

"So did you have fun tonight?"

She was amazed to find how much faster her heart beat after she voiced her very normal question. Why am I so nervous? God you'd think that I'd just asked something about the fate of all mankind.

The silence between them seemed to stretch the very fabric of time teasing 'Mione with the prospect of an answer. Finally the second ended and Draco's answer whispered across her ears, nearly being caught by the wind and carried of into eternity.

"You mean before we had to leave? Yeah I'd say I had fun? How 'bout you Granger?" She couldn't see his face but 'Mione could hear the smirk in his voice and knew exactly what he was thinking of.

"Hmmm… I dunno," She teased and felt Draco's muscles tense, "I'm just kidding!" She giggled, "Of course I had fun." She noticed his muscles relax again. A devilish smile played on her lips as an idea hit her. "I mean who wouldn't when they had a tall, brunette, muggle named Dean flirting with them for the first hour!"

The bike screeched to a halt threatening to flip over and send its occupants flying. 'Mione laughed in delight in stirring such an outburst from Draco, while he glared daggers at her.

"Really I was just kidding Draco." She said between laughs. Still he eyed her warily, not sure whether or not he should believe her. "I had a wonderful time with YOU tonight." She smiled. "Now let's get going or we'll break our curfew!"

He smiled, starting the bike again. "Y'know Granger some things never change." And they tore off into the night again the tail lights on the bike smearing a line of red into the black night air.

Both of them stayed silent the rest of the ride home. The silence between them was bearable in fact both parties found that they rather liked the silence. Their arrival at Hogwarts was a lonely one; the rest of the castle was asleep or was supposed to be anyway.

'Mione and Draco slipped stealthily through the halls, trying not to arouse suspicion. They eventually reached the portrait of the black cat, who was smiling knowingly.

"And just what is it you find so amusing?" Malfoy drawled to the cat.

"Oh you'll see soon enough." The cat answered her yellow eyes gleaming even in the dark.

"Gerbil shnaps" 'Mione whispered, the portrait opened, the green eyes of the cat unnerving her. "C'mon Draco." She grabbed his hand and pulled him through the door.

Both of them froze in the door way. Their common room had changed…

There were two more doors in the back wall next to their bedrooms, the doors were not as elaborate and decorated as theirs but they were there none the less.

A fire was burning in the hearth, the soft warm glow folding around two figures sitting together on their couch, staring at it. What happened next shocked all of the people in the room. One of the people on the couch turned his head and a look of recognition passed between all four of them.

"Draco?" Blaise asked springing up from the couch the person who had been sitting on his lap had jumped as well immediately putting distance between them. Draco dropped Mione's hand immediately and she pulled it behind her back.

"Ginny?" 'Mione asked seeing a very flustered Ginny Weasley stood behind Blaise blushing furiously.

"Granger?" Blaise said staring at Draco, raising an eyebrow as he spoke.

"Blaise." Draco growled threateningly.

"What the bloody hell are you two doing in our common room?" Draco burst.

"Well I need to talk to about that," Blaise's face turned stone cold as he spoke, making even Ginny turn to look at him in question.

Obviously she doesn't know what entirely is going on either. Hermione sat down on the vacated sofa, Ginny joining her soon after. Blaise had half dragged Draco through the door to his own room, slammed it shut, and judging by the flash of pale green light that framed the door, cast a silencing spell.

Ginny and Hermione both sat on the couch both not sure how much the other knew about their own relationships with the Slytherin boys in the other room. And neither really wanted to guess on the off chance that they might be wrong.

Ginny, never one for silence broke it first. "Look 'Mione what exactly is going on with you and Malfoy?"

"Well I'm not really sure actually." 'Mione laughed. "But I happened to see a very interesting couple dancing together at a wizard club recently."

"So you did see us then." Ginny smiled "Well that's a relief! I was afraid I'd have to pretend nothing happened forever."

"Yeah I saw and I'd say that you and I are in the same boat Gin." 'Mione smiled then turned to the door Blaise and Draco had disappeared behind. I wonder what they needed to talk about.

Draco stood in front of Blaise staring at the worry etched into his friend's face. Sudden panic swelled up in his chest.

"What is it Blaise?" He asked, apprehension rising.

"Draco they're back, and they're coming for us."

Ok guys yeah this is it it's still a bit short but once again it was a perfect ending spot!
