Chapter 5: More Snakes in Dumbledore's Army

Points of view: Draco, Luna

All those moments, Hermione and I had in our Potions' lesson didn't make her forget that she had detention. But the odd thing is that she didn't appear to be as frustrated about it as she should have been, or maybe she's just hiding her feelings from me to make me feel less guilty.

I know that professor Snape is sending her with Filch. But knowing him, he's gonna confiscate her wand. Everyone knows he's a bit sour (maybe more than a bit) about the fact that he was born as a Squib. He likes to see wizards and witches suffer without magic. Damn, that man is messed up big time.

Hermione and I spent the few hours after our lessons in the library, supposedly we were going to catch up on some studying, but we chatted the entire time instead. We were lucky that the library was empty, or else we would've been kicked the first twenty minutes. I've noticed how I've changed Hermione, but honestly I love it. She's been changing me too somehow, and I'm not afraid to admit it.

About half an hour before her detention, we took a silent walk beside the lake. It wasn't an awkward silence or anything. As a matter of fact, it was kind of nice and I had a great time. I guess it would have been better if I hadn't been thinking of kissing her the entire freaking time, but at least I had fun. We parted with a few words and an adorable blush from her, that I'm sure she didn't notice me staring at.

It must have been almost midnight, when I asked The Fat Lady to summon Harry for me. Hermione still hadn't come back and I was very worried. It didn't take him long to come down rushing in some shorts and no shirt on, wand in hand.

"What happened? She said it was an emergency!" He asked breathlessly.

"It's Hermione! She's still with Filch, it's been over six hours."

Harry's face visibly paled, after all Hermione was like a sister to him, and Merlin help anyone who hurts his sister. Running a hand through his hair, he muttered shit under his breath then told me to come in and wait in the common room. I was blindsided by the overwhelming amount of red, all around. Seconds later he came back with a map in hand, and he told me what to do.

After I left the common room, I tracked Hermione on the map to the towers. I was somewhat relieved to see that she was moving, but I had to check on her.

It didn't take me long to reach the towers, but when I arrived at the top of the staircase, I was stunned to see that the door was locked. A simple alohomora simple did the trick. No wonder Hermione was still there, she didn't have her wand on her.

The second the door opened, Hermione was on her mission to beat the crap out of whoever locked her in there. I managed to get out of the way of her punch.

It wasn't until I wrapped around her, that I noticed her tears.

She was freezing, and her face stained with tears.

"Shush, shush, I'm here..." I assured her over and over again.

She didn't say a single word until her tears ran out, she looked up at me with those big brown eyes of hers and whispered a Thank you.

Hermione's condition wasn't so good, so I couldn't take her back to the common room. I took her to the hospital wing instead, then went to fetch Harry and Weasley. I found Weasley in one of the corridors and informed him what happened, and I was surprised when Potter's head showed up in the middle of the air. "I'm not a prefect like Ron, I can't risk being caught wandering around after curfew." He explained hastily, then got under whatever was hiding him, an invisibility cloak I reckon.

Then the three of us rushed back to the hospital wing, but Hermione was fast asleep. It was such a relief to see some color back in Hermione's features, she'd appeared incredibly pale when I found her.

Madam Pomfrey didn't allow the three of us to stay the night, only one she said. Harry and Weasley didn't even discuss it, Harry kissed Hermione on the forehead and Weasley gave her hand a little squeeze before heading back to the common room.

I guess I'm staying the night then. I honestly didn't miss spending time in here, but I do wish that I was in that bed instead of her, and she'd be in her own bed.

At last, I made myself comfortable and settled in for the night.

❤❤❤

Our second Dumbledore's army meeting was going to be in a few days, and I really wanted to ask the ones in charge whether we can invite Blaise to join us. He'd be a great addition to the team. I still wasn't sure what our relationship exactly was, we hang out like a lot.

That's not dating though...

I wish it was.

Sigh.

I was standing outside The Hospital Wing, debating whether I should ask Hermione before my classes or after. I finally decided to go in since I've come all the way, but I wasn't sure why I was making such a big deal of the whole thing. It's not like I'm asking some super hot Slytherin to join a club started by my friends, and also happens to be a secret and we're breaking both school rules and the law.

Oh wait, but it is.

This is exactly what's going on. Oh chuck it!

I finally decided to go in there and get it over and done with.
However, a surprise was waiting for me. Right there on the bed, I found Draco and Hermione cuddling fast asleep. It was too darn cute, I couldn't risk waking them up.

That's exactly why, a few hours later I walked into the hospital wing with my hopes high again. My luck changed this time. I found Draco and Hermione there. This time though, he was teaching her how to punch properly. When I asked about it, he said that he wants to make sure she can beat up anyone who comes near her properly.

I was glad to see how happy Hermione was. She looked like a completely different person. After chatting for a while, I finally told her the main reason I wanted to see her. I was kind of nervous and thought she'd refuse but toy utter surprise, it took her a single look at Draco's face to smile back at me and nod.

I was on cloud nine when she told me. She reminded before I left that he still has to sign the list, then said "Also, we need to have a little chat Missy" with a smirk on her face that was too similar to Draco's one.

"Look who's talking," I said with my eyebrows raised, but she njust laughed.

Oh well, I got some work to do.
