"Hey Malfoy," I said as I walked into the shared common room to fine the Head boy lying on the couch.

"Granger," he said slowly and quietly.

"You alright?" I asked plopping into and armchair and pulling out my book.

"No," he said quietly then a bit louder, "Yeah I'm good."

"Okay.." I trialed off watching him with a quirked eyebrow for a few minutes before opening my book and beginning to read.

I'd made it to page 107 when Malfoy cleared his throat and said hoarsely, "Your friends with Weaselette right?"

"Yes. Why?" I asked setting my nook down and turning towards him, my legs hanging over the arm of the chair.

"Stay in her dorm tonight," Malfoy said not meeting my eyes.

"Well first, why? And second I can't. She's not there tonight. Her mum got really sick so she and Ron are at St. Mungo's," I asked.

Malfoy swallowed nervously, "I'm sorry to here that. Uh- any other friends in Gryffindor?"

"Well Harry," I shrugged.

"Any female friends?"

"Why?"

"Granger, please just answer me."

"Did you just say 'please'?" I asked shocked.

"Yes."

"Okay... Um.. That's different, and no. Lavenders dead and Parvati moved into Ravenclaw Tower with Padma," I said.

"Brown died?" He asked, "How? Who was it?"

I quirked an eyebrow and watched him carefully as I answered, "Fenrir Greyback," he tensed immensly at the name, "Practically ate her during the war. I shot him off her, but she was too far gone to save. Told us to leave her and save Hogwarts."

"Greyback killed her?" He whispered dangerously.

"Yeah, why do you care so much?" I asked him, adjusting so my knees were pulled to my chest and my arms wrapped around them.

"I don't care about Brown. Its Greyback. You know he escaped from Azkaban right? Stay away from him. He gets to much pleasure in turning people," Malfoy said quietly looking over at me.

"What do you mean 'turning people'? Like what he did to Remus? Well you'd know him as Professor Lupin. Greyback bit him during a full moon," Hermione explained.

"Exactly what I mean, Granger. Stay safe from him. He'll turn you even if your on his side," Malfoy said.

"And you know how?"

"There's lots you don't know about me Granger," he said, "Its late."

"It is, almost midnight."  I said unsure of why.

"Go to your room," he instructed, "Lock the door and barricade it."

"Why would I do that?" I challenged.

Malfoy looked out the window very quickly before whipping his head back, "Go Granger." He said urgently.

"Why?"

"Please, just go!" He said his voice reaching hysteria.

"Malfoy what is it?" I asked standing up and fingering my wand in my pocket.

"I don't want to hurt you! Go!" He pleaded with me.

"Why would you hurt me?" I asked him as light shone in through the window from the full moon tonight.
