Chapter 11

Draco shook me vigorously and my eyes shot open. 

"What the hell kind of way is that to wake a person up?" I snapped as I sat up in his bed.

"Prue, it's 7:00 am! Blaise will be getting here at any minute now to grab me for breakfast. You need to get out of here!" Draco's tone was urgent. 

I looked around frantically for my uniform when I remembered it was covered in slashes and bloodstains.  I had no idea how I was going to sneak out of Draco's room and the Slytherin commons undetected. 

"Here use one of my old robes from 2nd year it should fit you fine." It was as if Draco could read my thoughts.

He shoved the long black garment into my arms.  I threw the robe over me and to my surprise, it actually fit. Draco began frantically pushing me toward the door while I pulled the hood of the robe over my head to help hide my face. I turned around briefly to look at him before leaving. 

"Draco, I'll see you next week." I smiled at him as I walked out of the room.

He returned the smile quickly before shutting the door in my face. 

I guess he's not a romantic. 

I snuck down the corridors, through the commons, and out of the Slytherin dungeons making sure to keep my head down. The entire time I was walking to Ravenclaw tower I couldn't help but think about the night I'd spent with Draco Malfoy. I completed the entire walk across Hogwarts in a daze, I hadn't even realized I'd reached the common room. A few of the Ravenclaw students that were exiting stared at me like I wasn't supposed to be there. At first, I was so confused, I had no idea why they were looking at me like that but then it hit me, I was wearing Draco's Slytherin robes. Before stepping into the common room I ducked into a corner of the tower where students didn't usually pass by. I'd remembered what Madam Malkin had told me about being able to change the colors of the inner fabric to whatever house I was sorted into. With a quick flick of my wand, I changed the robe's inner colors to Bronze and Blue. 

That should stop the dirty looks.

I quickly answered the eagle knocker's riddle and dashed straight towards my dorm room. Thankfully most of the students had already gone down to the Great Hall to eat so I didn't have to stop to talk to anyone. I burst through the door of my room fully expecting no one to be on the other side but to my surprise, Luna was putting cat food in Cinder's bowl. I felt my heart drop into my stomach. I thought I had made it back to my room without a single person realizing I wasn't in my bed all night. I shut the door gently and tried not to look so guilty but Luna could see right through me. 

"Hey Prue, long night?" She giggled. 

I was at a complete loss for words which seemed to be happening to me a lot lately. Cinder scampered over toward me and began to rub her head up against my leg.

"I just went for a walk early this morning." I tried to lie. 

"Oh hush Prue, I know you weren't here all night. Don't worry I won't tell anyone but please tell me how was it spending the night with Harry! I need to know." Luna was looking at me all wide-eyed waiting for me to say something.  

I can't believe she thinks I spent the night with Harry!

Just as I was about to reply I heard my door creak open. I walked over and peered out into the hallway but didn't see a single soul. I shut the door tightly making sure to hear it click that time. Luna was still anxiously awaiting my response. I was trying to formulate an elaborate lie as I peeled off Draco's old robe. 

"Oh my gosh!" Luna exclaimed.

"What?" I shrieked.

I was a nervous wreck. I followed Luna's gaze to my torso and I saw that I was still wearing Draco's oversized Slytherin sweater underneath the robe. My face felt hot and my pulse was thumping in my ears.
