“ - I have to go ” Hermione said, her heart stammering with anxiety upon seeing Parkinson - Pansy - enter the Great hall with a grim look on her face. She stood up, leaving a clueless Harry at at the table, and hurried over the the Slytherin.

“ Pansy, are you alright? How's Draco doing? ” She asked, not bothering with any small talk when she approached the Slytherin at the door. Pansy seemed pleased with this, but didn't smile.

A few moments of silence passed and an unsettling shiver of fear traveled down her spine. “ Draco? Draco, I'm coming in, okay? ”

Turning the golden knob of the door, Hermione felt her throat dry and her face pale. The vile shattered on the blood splattered tiles. “ Draco!? ”
