A Bump in the Night

Chapter 2

There was nothing there.Â

The bed was neatly made and there was no evidence of anyone sleeping there. Except... There was an indentation on the pillow. As if someone had laid their head on it. Naturally the girls took it for what it was worth: freaky. They backed up slowly, and Hermione grabbed her clothes and bag from on top of her trunk. Â

As soon as they were out they ran like loons to Ginny's dorm. They decided it would be safer there. (duh.)Â

Hermione looked at the scars on her arms. What had caused them? She certainly didn't cut herself. Â

Draco walked down the hallway. He needed to get away from all of those stupid people in his common room. He couldn't walk in without Goyle or Crabbe walking around like dithering idiots asking who they should duff up next. Draco sighed. He also couldn't walk in without Pansy draping herself all over him. Not that he was gay. He just hated her whiney voice all the time:

"Oh Drackie" she had oozed at him a few minuets ago. "Did you hear-?" Draco thought it would be some news of Voldemort as the papers wouldn't say anything and neither would his father. But no it was:

"Millecent is going out with that 7^th year in Hufflepuff. Maybe we could go on a double-" But before Wet Pansy could continue Draco practicly ran for the exit. What was she on about? The Draco Malfoy did not go on double dates. The Draco Malfoy certainly did not want to go anywhere with Pansy. There was someone he wouldn't mind... no he had to get control of himself. Draco Malfoy would not be allowed to date a Weasley. Unfortunatly... NO... fortunately! That was more like it.

At breakfast Harry and Ron debated over telling a teacher.Â

"I think Dumbledore should know." Harry argued. Â

"For all we know it could have been a nightmare-" Ron however was cut off at that moment by Hermione and Ginny approaching the table. They sat down and the boys could tell that they were a little more than flushed. Ginny filled the boys in to what had happened.Â

"That's too odd." Harry said at the thought that the bed had been made up. "The house elves haven't even been up to the tower yet, and-"Â

"I was just thinking..." Ginny interrupted. "Neither Parvati, Lavender, or Kathryn woke up. Hermione screamed bloody murder and they didn't make a sound."Â

"As far as I know they were still sleeping when we got...here..." Hermione trailed off. Â

They all looked at each other and dashed off to the tower. Ten minutes later they were running up the stair to the 5^th year's dorm room.Â

Each ripped a bed curtain open.Â

Each screamed like they'd seen the devil himself.

Am I mean or what? Shame on me for ending it in a cliff hanger again. Sorry it was short but the next chapter will be much longer.
