Yay, I'm getting my groove back! All I needed was some bouncy music!

I own nothing!

Chapter 7 – A bit of a Problem.

Darren woke up and saw the blue sky.

'-sigh- good, it was all a bad dream.' he closed his eyes again and slowly stretched and started to stand. He was suddenly off balance so his eyes snapped open.

"IT WASN'T A BAD DREAM! IM STILL ON THE ROOF! AHHHHHHH!" he yelled as he fell off the roof edge.

Instinctively he reached out blindly and his nails caught on a small ledge on top of a window.

Darren sighed with relief.

He looked in the window in which he was hanging in front of.

He saw five beds in a room, but this one was different from his, there were cosmetics and it was VERY tidy.

One of the lumps under the blankets of the bed closest to him moved and a bedraggled Hermione stuck her head out of the mass of blankets.

Darren panicked 'THE GIRLS DORM! If I'm caught they'll think I'm a peeping tom! Gotta… get off ….this….. ledge!'

He looked around the window. No more ledges, just one twenty feet below him. He loosened his nails and dropped just as a Ms. Hermione Granger looked at the window.

'Hmm? Was it just me or did something just fly by?' she yawned 'eh….' She shrugged and started to get dressed.

Darren free fell until he collided with the second roof top, he rolled on his back until he stopped a few feet away from the edge on all fours, using his nails to help keep him there.

Darren looked up at the window 'Whew, that was close.' He looked around.

He was still quite a few hundred meters from the ground; a height that even a full vampire couldn't survive.

The roof wound around the tower, slowly angling downwards, and when I say slowly, I mean SLOWLY, Darren could barley tell there was a decline at all!

He stood up and started to walk around the tower 'Hopefully ill get to class only a few hours late!'

Harry and Ron were in the common room waiting for Hermione. "Come on! We are going to be late for Transfiguration!" yelled Ron.

"One minuet RONALD!" said an exasperated hermione, searching through her piles of books by her bed 'Now were is my book?'

She spotted a big text in red binding. 'Ah! There it is!'

She grabbed said book and ran down the stairs.

"Ok, ready!"

"Finally" grumbled Ron as they left the Gryffindor common room.

Harry was deep in thought about something "Guys, Did any of you see Darren go to bed last night?"

Ron snorted "Like I paid enough attention to him to care!"

"Ron! Just because he did something wrong ONCE doesn't mean you have to be so rude!" scolded Hermione, she had gotten QUITE agitated at his immaturity

"Hmph!"

"No, sorry harry, I didn't see him go back into your dorms after he walked out the night before. " said Hermione as they walked down the stairs.

Harry nodded and opened the door to their first class this morning.

They took their usual spots at the back and got out some parchment and their quills.

Mrs. McGonagall walked in and to the front of the class.

"It's a new year and you all have your NEWTS this year, so I expect you all to be studying hard and trying your best because I wont go easy on ANY of you." She looked at each of them sternly "Understood?"

"Yes Mrs. McGonagall."

"Good then we shall proceed." She turned to the board and waved her wand "You are to copy these notes on animal transfiguration" she turned and sat at her desk and started to write on some papers.

It was quiet and the only sound heard was the scratching of quills on parchment, when Lavender suddenly screamed.

Everyone turned to were she was pointing at the window, and some of the other girls screamed too. For there was Darren, casually walking past the window on the roof.

He suddenly stopped and looked inside the window, his eyes widened and he smiled warily, waving.

"H-Hi, sorry if I'm late professor, I was, erm, I had a few problems. Could you let me in?"

Everyone just stared at the boy on the roof.

"Eh heh…."He rubbed the back of his head and sweatdropped.
