Apart from her dance sessions, Amy wasn't one for wandering the castle at night but she was suffering from insomnia again so she went for a walk in her current pyjamas, leopard print tank top with matching shorts and her favourite beige Ugg boots, as well as Draco's dressing gown. She knew it sounded pathetic, but it smelt of him and she was very...attached to his smell now.

She hid behind a suit of armour as Snape walked past before going outside and sitting on the ledge in one of the castles many arches in the walkways that connected parts of the school. The arches were at the same height as the top of her neck so she had to jump, using her arms to support her till she could get her leg over and after several attempts managed to haul herself up.

She sat there a while, just gazing out over the forest in the moonlight. The last few days had been much better with the twins pulling jokes on Cedric, but it didn't solve the problem.

And then there was the problem of Draco.

He was extremely good looking, and he seemed to care for her.

He cared so much that he was actually on speaking terms with Harry, Ron and Neville.

She thought of a song she'd heard a while ago called "Crush" by David Archuleta and decided to sing it quietly.

"Why do I keep running from the truth?

All I ever thing about is you.

You got me hypnotised.

So mesmerised.

And I just got to know...

Do you ever think,

When you're all alone,

All that we could be,

Where this thing could go.

Am I crazy or falling in love?

Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you,

Are you holding back,

Like the way I do.

Cause I try and try to walk away,

But I know this crush ain't going away..."

She sang softly with her back and head leaning on the side wall of the arch, one leg dangling down on the other side towards the forest.

"Nice song" said a deep voice from the shadows.

She whirled her head around, nearly falling of the ledge.

"Woahhhh" said Draco, rushing forwards with his arms outstretched to steady her but she'd already righted herself by the time he reached her. "Who's it for?"

"What?"

"The song...who's it for?"

"Oh...just...someone I've know a few years."

After all it wasn't a lie. She had known him a few years, five to be exact. She just hadn't really known...him.

"Are you my tail for the night?"She asked as he raised his arms up to her, lifting her down as though she was nothing more than a small child.

"No it's supposed to be Longbottom" he said with a frown.

"I'm surprised that you four are getting on so well!"

"Mmm...it's probably because we're all protecting you, so it's like we're all united and there's no point in wasting your time fighting when you have something that needs doing." He smiled down at her. "I see you're fond of it" he indicated the dressing gown.

"Oh...yes it keeps me...warm."

"Yes...because silk does that in Scotland in October" he said with a sly smile.

She only ducked her head in response before whirling round as she heard something padding behind her.

In the moonlight she saw a hunched over shape approaching them slowly.

She took a small step forwards, scrunching up her eyes "What is that?" she muttered, half to herself and half to Draco. "No..." she half breathed, half gasped.

"Amy get back" Draco muttered at her sharply. "Don't make any sudden movements or noise."

She stepped back quietly as the creature advanced until she felt Draco's hands resting lightly on her waist, telling her too stop. She realised with a sinking feeling that she didn't have her wand, and she was guessing that Draco didn't have his either.

The werewolf stopped, about eight metres away from them. It crouched, whimpering slightly then tensed, growled and sprung at them.

Amy screamed and Draco grabbed her, pulling her back into his chest, turning them around and curling his back around Amy's so that he covered her completely and put himself in the werewolf's path.

Amy squeezed her eyes shut; waiting for it too hit but instead heard "Wingardium Leviosa!" She carefully opened one eye to see Neville, ashen faced and shaking, but pointing his wand firmly into the air above their heads. She lifted her head and saw the werewolf turning in the air, growling slightly as it tried to get to them.

She gave a noise a bit like a whimper as it lashed out a paw at her and Draco, nearly touching his head.

"Out the arch Neville!" Came Draco as he released Amy, only to pull her towards him in an enveloping hug, hiding her face in his chest and holding her there reassuringly.

Neville did as he said and he stopped the spell with the werewolf hanging 6ft above the ground. The werewolf fell into the courtyard and did of course land on its feet. It howled loudly, causing Amy to shiver and Draco to pull her in tighter before it scampered off into the forest.

"That was so scary" she whispered into Draco's chest before breaking away, "Well done Neville! I've never seen you do Wingardium Leviosa before!"

Neville simply blushed.
