Y/n stares down at the parchment in her hands, the words on it telling her to meet on the second floor of the moving staircase after dark. The name Draco Malfoy is written neatly at the bottom of the parchment. She doesn't quite know why exactly she's meeting that vile boy at all, but her curiosity is piqued. She crumples the parchment up in her hand and shoves it into her robe pocket.

Y/n reaches the staircase where Draco asked her to meet him, looking around seeing nobody nearby. She clicks her tongue putting her hands on her hips, "Where is that little pratt hiding?" Then the sound of familiar voices echo through the doorway Y/n had entered from moments ago. For a moment she thought it could be Draco, but then she hears Hermione's chattering coming from the hallway.

She looks around, wanting to rush off before the trio gets to where she is on the stairs. But it's too late, the trio emerge from the doorway instantly noticing Y/n standing in front of them. "What are you doing here Black?" Hermione grumbles in annoyance just by her sheer presence.

"Shouldn't I be asking you three that same question?" Y/n retorts back, rolling her eyes and crossing her arms to her chest.

"That Malfoy kid told us to meet him here." Ron speaks up, the three of them standing a few steps below Y/n now. Hermione shushes him, glaring his way before huffing and turning away. "So why are you here?" He asks, restating Hermione's question, in a bit of a softer tone than her own.

Y/n furrows her brows in confusion at the trio, "Wait what? He asked you three here too?" Her confusion being matched by the three in front of her. They all three share a look with each other before turning their attention back to Y/n.

"What do you mean too?" Harry queries, taking a step up towards her, genuinely curious about what exactly is going on here.

"Malfoy asked me to meet him here, in this exact spot too." Y/n responds with a gentler tone than when she first addressed the three of them.

"Why would he ask the four of us here? It makes no sense." Ron asks looking over at Harry, as if expecting him to have the answer. Harry just shrugs in response, to which Ron then follows after with a shrug. The boys look over at Y/n for an answer, she parts her lips shrugging in confusion back at them.

"Are you three really that thick!?" Hermione scorns, walking up the stairs now standing in between Harry and Y/n on the steps. She puts her hands on her hips looking between the three of them, waiting for a response from at least one of them. When no response comes out, she rolls her eyes scoffing softly. "Obviously it's a trap! Why else would he want to meet us after dark? Really, do you ever use your brains?"

Y/n mirrors Hermione's stance, putting her hands on to her hips. "Maybe it is. What do you suggest we do then, Miss Know It All?" She quips, narrowing her eyes challenging her statement.

"I suggest we get out of here before we get into trouble!" Hermione snaps back at her, she turns away, flicking her bushy brown hair into Y/n's face. She grumbles, taking a step down on the stairs, deciding to comply. But before the four of them can leave towards the Gryffindor Common Room, the staircase lurches beneath their feet. The four of them grab a steady hold onto the banister as the staircase moves to a different corridor leading the third floor.
