Babysitting the Weasley Twins

Chapter 8

        "Hermione, Please get up, We have rounds to do!" A voice exclaimed at Hermione's door as knocking sounds reached her ears. She gently got up, careful not to stir the twins beside her.

        "Alright, I'll be out in a second Theo!" She said quietly to the door. She fixed her hair and straighted her uniform before walking out of her room. Greeting Theodore as she walked by him.

        "I was thinking that I take the West side of the castle while you take the East." He suggested as she made sure she had her wand and badge. She nodded in agreement. As they walk out of their portrait and down the corridor, Theo turned to Hermione. "It was very kind of you to take care of George and Fred until they are back to normal. I couldn't imagine taking care of those two for how long." He shivered at the thought of it.

        Hermione chuckled at him and looked back down the corridor. "It isn't too hard. They behave rather well for me. The real challenge would be to have Katelynn in a child body with them. They're like the Three Stooges." They both laughed quietly at that. Once they reached their separate corridors, they bid the other goodbye and went on their way.

        Hermione continued down her side of the castle when she heard footsteps at the end of the corridor in front of her. She sped up, turned around the corner and looked down the hallway to see a figure with pale hair slip around another corner. Hermione scurried to try and catch the figure. Finally, she was able to catch up with it, and she was surprised when it turned to face her and revealed Draco.

        "Malfoy?!? What are you doing outside your dorm at this hour?" Hermione asked him with a tilt of her had. The boy just wrung his hands nervously in front of him.

        "Nothing, just, please don't mention this to anyone." He said other before running down the corridor again, turning down another hallway on his way back to the dungeons. Hermione stood their for a few seconds in confusion before continuing on her way.

          About fifteen minutes passed since Hermione saw Draco, and she was close to the Eating Hall where she heard noises coming from one of the nearby cupboards. She gripped her wand tightly in her hand as she crept closer to the noise. Once she reached the door that the sound was coming from she reached a hand out and threw the door open. The figures stopped what they were doing and stared at Hermione.

       Hermione felt so many emotions rush threw her at once. Her eyes began to burn as they watered.  She clenched her jaw, not going to let them have the advantage of seeing her cry. She opened her mouth, but only one word came out.

         "Ron?"
