A/N: Well, as you can see I haven't updated in a while. I will try to update often but I can't promise with the school workload that I have. But, I do know that I have not abandoned my stories.

Harry slid into his chair and waited for the two tag-alongs to come in. It seemed that everywhere he went, Hermione and Ron were quick to latch on, following him all around the school. He hated the constant company, but more than that, Hermione's incessant talking was driving him crazy. Muggle Studies this or Astronomy that, he really didn't give a fuck what the twit had to say. Ron on the other hand just nodded his head at everything his little girlfriend said. The redhead didn't even have the balls to correct his girlfriend when she called him a mindless twit. But then again, the comment wasn't far from the truth.

"Oh Harry! Ron and I were so worried when we couldn't find you in the common room. You should have told us you were coming to class early," squealed Hermione.

Harry rolled his eyes and waited for Ron's token comment.

"Yeah mate," said Ron as he nodded his head.

Harry gritted his teeth before forcing a wide smile.

"Oh guys, I'm so sorry. I just wanted a little time to myself. I didn't know that it would worry you," he said.

"That's okay Harry. Are you depressed? Do you want to talk about it? We're your friends and we're here to lend a hand or a sympathetic ear or anything else you need" replied Hermione earnestly.

Harry shook his head no and watched as the two took their "supposed" respective seats on each side of him. Hermione on his left and Ron on his right.

"Can you believe it? We finally get a religion course here at Hogwart's! I am so excited! Think about all the wonderful things that you can learn about Harry's and my religion Ron" said Hermione.

"Um, what are you again Hermione?" asked Ron.

Hermione glowered at him.

"I am aCatholic of course," said Hermione with a sniff.

Now, Harry knew who Catholics were and Hermione was not one of them. If anything, she deserved to be rotting in Hellena while coyotes ripped at her flesh.

"I didn't know you were a Catholic too Harry" said Ron.

"I'm n--" , but before Harry could finish his sentence the door flew open.

Draco placed his hand on his chest in order to calm his racing heart. He didn't want to be in this school of sin anymore. All he wanted to do was go home to Heaven and curl up in his bed. Why did he have to make this journey? This passage? Did his brother go through the same thing? Draco's thoughts were interrupted when the sound of Pansy's voice filled the hall.

"Oh Drakey Poo? Where are you?"

He had to escape. He needed a place to hide; to get away.

"I want to disappear" whispered Draco.

Suddenly, he felt a pair of arms grab him and he disappeared into the wall just as Pansy came running around the corner. Finding nothing but an empty hallway, Pansy deflated.

"I could have sworn I heard something" she sighed, before walking away.

"Are you okay Draco?" asked a voice.

Draco whirled around and was shocked to find Abel looking back at him.

"Abel! What are you doing here?" asked the blonde Angel before grabbing his friend into a hug.

"I was sent here by your father to find my brother. Cain ishere in Hogwart's somewhere but I have yet to find him" replied Abel.

"I'm sure you will find him my friend. I'm just happy to have someone else here with me in this sinful place" said Draco.

"Yes, Hogwart's is full of its own evilness but it is the inhabitants that make it so, not the building itself" said Abel.

Draco bit his lower lip and took a moment to look at his surroundings. He'd been so shocked to see Abel that he'd completely forgotten about the fact that they'd literally gone through a wall.

"What is this place?" asked Draco as he walked towards a desk.

The room itself was small and dreary, and it held no intimate warmth. The desk was moldy and caked with dust, papers littered the floor, and a broken chair resided in the right corner.

"I think this place used to be a professor's office but that is just a guess" said Abel.

Draco poked around a little more before tripping over something.

"Are you alright?" asked Abel.

"Yeah, but I wonder what I tripped over" said Draco.

He bent down to pick up the hard object off the floor. It, too, was covered in dust and as he moved his hand across it, he found a smooth surface.

"I think I know who this office belonged to" said Draco.

"Who?" asked Abel.

"Helga Hufflepuff"
