The Different Side

Chapter 5: Hermione

The wind is howling outside, Lavender is snoring, and I am lying awake. I can't stop thinking about what Harry and Ron did! Those slimy little flobberworms!!!!!
The look of betrayal on Draco's face stopped me from doing anything else. I just keep seeing those eyes, those beautiful, hurt eyes.
I resolve that I would go out to find him, hopefully he's okay. I gingerly pull open the covers and sit on the edge of my bed, contemplating the next line of action. I tiptoe over to my clothes and clumsily pull them on, at this moment Parvatti decides to wake up. Just my luck.
"What are you doing up?"
"What are YOU doing up?" Not one of my best lines, but eh.
"Asking why you're up," Parvatti hissed.
"You're dreaming Parvatti, shh!"
"No I'm not!"
She then fell back asleep, I won't lie about using a small sleeping charm, but it was necessary.
I creep down the stairs that lead up to the girls' dormitories, being careful to avoid the squeaky step, grab a handful of floo powder and I open my mouth to shout... Then I stop. I see something glitter in the moonlight, it's Ron's deluminator! I pick it up, hurriedly stuffing it in my pocket, it could help me with finding Draco. But first things first, I need to get onto the Knight Bus and find out where he went...
"DIAGON ALLY!"
Next thing I know, I am standing in madam Malikin's, the clothing dummies look extremely frightening in the moonlight. I walk up to the door.
"Alohomora" I whisper.
I step outside and hold my wand out, the way Draco did when he left. The large bus screeches around the corner, a tall man asks me where I want to go. I asked him if he knew where a tall boy with blonde hair went, he said "oh, 'im! I remember seein' a boy like that, pointed face right? Hey, Ernie, this young lady wants to know where that blonde 'aired kid went, remember Ernie? Yeah, I'll take ya to 'im"
The bus then jolts forward, knocking me off my feet.
