Welcome to Hogwarts

~ Chapter Seven ~

It's a peacful night at Hogwarts. Everyone's in their house' common rooms or in their shared rooms. I guess, most are sleeping.... Of course I would't put it pass older Slytherin that some of them are probably out and Merlin know what they're doing. I can say, without a doubt, that it's way past curfew that the headmaster and the teachers have set.

So if that's true, can someone please tell me what came over me when I decided to leave my common room?!

I slowly peek from behind a corner before I walk out.

"Where is he?" I grumble to myself as I continue searching.

Yes, that would do it. I was putting my neck on the line searching for Draco. Why? Not sure to tell you the truth; maybe I feel sorry for him, maybe after I saw him at the station walking away, completly alone, something felt a miss....

I turn another corner and sigh, both in frustracion and relief. Frustracion; I can't find that Malfoy anywhere and relief; there's no teacher near by. Looking behind me, just to make sure, I continue walking down the hall.

Before I'm able to turn around another corner, someone bumps into me and I stuble back. I hold my head for a second before my eyes widen and I gulp as I slowly look up. I pray to Merlin that I didn't stumble upon a professor. I sigh as I see that it's just Draco but then my eyes sharpen as I notice that it's Draco.

"You!" I growl and point at him. He just raises an eyebrow at me in return.

"I've been look for you, Malfoy. Do you know how much trouble we could get into if-why are you smirking?" I stop mid sentence and my eyebrow knit together in confusion as his smirk grows bigger.

"We won't get in trouble. Now, come on!" he grabs my hand and starts pulling me behind him. Shocked and confused I don't say anything and just follow him.

Finally coming to my sences, I shake my head a little and pull my hand back. He stops and turns around giving me a quick glare before saying, "What is it now?"

"Where are we going?"

"To find a professor." he smirks and there's a spark of mischive in his eyes and my eyes widen.

"What? Why?"

"Just.... Come on. Trust me." I study his face for a minute before I sigh and nod. His smirk grows bigger before he winks and quicky turns around and starts speed walking. With a final sigh, I jog to catch up with him. Why am I doing this?

"I don't think this is a good idea, Draco...." I come to step with him. He looks at me with the corner of his eye, a smirk still promenent on his face.

"We won't get in trouble."

"Nothing, I repeat, nothing gives a student the right to walk about the school at night. Therefore, as punishment for your actions, 50 points will be taken."

"50?!" Harry shocked voice made me snap my head in his direction.

We're in prof. McGonagall's classroom. Hermione, Harry and Ron are standing in front of her desk while Draco and I are a few feet away. I didn't know why he wanted to find a professor let alone that he was going to tell on Hermione and the boys.

"Each. And to ensure it doesn't happen again, all five of you will receive detention." my eyes widen. Draco nods but then his smile vanishes and he steps closer to her desk.

"Excuse me, professor. Perhaps I heard you wrong. I thought you said.... 'the five of us'?"

"No, you heard me correctly, Mr. Malfoy. You see, as honorable as your and Ms. L/N's intentions were-" I quickly look over at Hermione, Ron and Harry with a pleeding look. Harry glances my way and there's a glint of understanding in his eyes as he gives me a small nod.
