Midnight Patrol

“All right take out your homework from last night which should have been one foot on werewolves.” He glanced over and to no surprise Miss Granger had probably three feet, as Mr. Malfoy had maybe two. “Our potion today is the wolves bane potion. I’m sure all of you know of Remus Lupin and his curse. The professor asked me specifically to have you make this. Therefore I will not tolerate any screw-ups.” He said eyeing the Gryffindor side. “There will be two to a group for this. One taking notes and making sure the right ingredients are present and another making the potion. Mr. Malfoy since Miss Granger seems to be the only one without a partner why don’t you join her.”
“But…” Harry started to protest.
“Do you have a problem with anything Mr. Potter?”
Harry gulped as he glanced at Malfoy who was smirking as he made his way to sit next to Hermio“No “No sir.”
“Good, five points from Gryffindor for interrupting me.” Harry grumbled about to say something but a look from Ron stopped him.

Draco took the empty seat next to Hermione putting his things away. “So no messing up this potion Granger.”
“That would be your department Malfoy.” She told him.
“Sorry mine’s taking notes.”
“But…”
“We don’t need to mess this up.” He told her softly squeezing her hand under the table. “I’m too tense to concentrate so you have to please.”
Hermione sighed and nodded. “You owe me.”
“I know.”
“Now begin.” Snape ordered.

“Could it have been a harder potion?” Ron asked in disbelief.
“Don’t let him hear you say that.” Harry said.
“True.” Ron nodded. “But we can’t mess this this up if it’s for Remus.”
“Yea, I know.” He said taking a quick glance at Hermione and Malfoy.
“They working okay or did eh mess it up?” Ron asked.
“So far it looks like their working.”
“If that slimey git touches her I’ll pound him.”
Harry nodded as he carefully added the second ingredient to the potion. He tried his hardest to concentrate, but the thought of Malfoy and Hermione at that back table alone. He knew they knew better then to try anything during class. Hermione wanted to get good grades, and if Malfoy did it would only upset her.

A/N: I know there was no lemon in this chapter, but the next one I promise.
