Chapter 44

Blaise's POV

"Let's go bud" he [Marcelo] said and I nodded. Draco lifted his head up and we all walked together out of the dormitory door. We turned back around once to wave our final goodbye, until we see them again. Hopefully soon.

Ron's POV
(2 days later - Monday)

I woke up with a groan and stretched my arms. What time is it? I grabbed my wand, which happen to be next to me on the bed. This wasn't the first time I had use it tonight.

I cast a quiet Tempus charm and frowned when I seen that it was 5:48 a.m. I'd only been sleeping for like half an hour. I've woken up 7 times since I went to bed at midnight.

I can't sleep knowing Blaise is in danger. I unconsciously reached over to my dresser to pull open the second drawer. I looked inside and frowned once more at the empty space. Right... Harry got rid of them.

I mean I didn't hear him leave the room so they're probably somewhere in the room.

I slowly got out of my bed and snuck through the curtains. I looked around and seen all the curtains closed, even Dean's because Hermione decided to sleep over.

I tip toed over to Harry's chest thinking that would be the most rational place for them. I heard rustling before I could bend down and look, making me freeze. It was coming from Harry's curtain.

It started sliding open and Harry popped his head out.

"Hey mate" he said with a groggy voice. I just stared at him and he patted his bed. I joined him on his bed and he closed the curtain again and laid down.

"Lay down. Why are you still up?" he asked me after I did what he said and laid next to him. I sighed and shrugged. I'm glad he didn't ask why I was just standing by his bed.

"I keep waking up, what about you?" I answered and he snorted.

"I haven't slept a wink" he huffed and I chuckled. That sounds like him. Just then the curtain started to open again and we both jumped up, Hermione crawled in and then closed it. She sat on the bed by our feet with tired eyes.

"You are very loud" she whispered as me and Harry both sat up making room for her.

"Sorry Mione. Did you just wake up?" I asked and she shook her head.

"No, I can't sleep either" she mumbled with a worried look.

"Well what did you think about that kiss?" Harry asked with a smile as Hermione blushed.

"I don't know. It was definitely a surprise. I've never thought of dating during school really. I'm pretty oblivious when it comes to that, do you think she likes me?" she asked with wide eyes. I turned to Harry and he shrugged.

"I personally think she does but maybe she's just an affectionate person" he told her and Hermione nodded.

"What time is it?" Hermione asked hanging her head back.

"It was about 5:50 when I checked but that was about 10 minutes ago" I said and they both groaned.

"I don't think I'll make it through classes" Harry whined and closed his eyes.

"You could always come in late and get some rest right now" I told him but he shook his head.

"I still doubt I'll be able to sleep" he admitted and Hermione nodded her agreement. It was silent for a moment before Hermione whispered barely audible.

"Have you been crying?"

It was silent once more as I felt a sting in my eyes and felt tears coming to them.
