When Harry didn’t show up, she was told to head back to the Common Room. She was worried about what Harry’s fate would be. She was more surprised to see that everyone had planned a huge celebration for Harry, in Hermione’s mind that was pretty foolish and may only make him even more stressed, if he had to compete with the others who were older and knew more spells. Hermione didn’t get a chance to speak to Harry during the party though and just went up to the girl’s dormitory and spent most of the night worried and trying to distract herself with reading. Though she had done all of her homework, she looked it over four more times to try and distract herself from the dangers Harry may have to face.

Morning soon came and she was getting dressed for the day ahead. It was Friday and she hoped, for once, that classes didn’t linger. She just had a feeling that everyone would be talking about the events from last night. Since she hadn’t gotten a chance to see or talk to him, she had just assumed the worst and could only hope people were being alright about the whole thing. Had she known how insane Ron was acting, she would have been rather cross and told him he was just being mental and a bad friend. Instead, she ignored the gossip and hurried down to the Common Room and waited to see if Harry or Ron wanted to walk with her to breakfast, thinking it might be good to pretend that things were still normal.

The moment she opened her stupid mouth, he regretted following her. He had much better things to do than put up with the stupid redhead. Ginny got to her feet and he stayed where he was but now folded his arms over his chest, taking a defensive stance for the time being. “You’re not a lady by any means.” He spat at her as she continued to talk. Draco was getting very annoyed very quickly. As he kept his mouth shut, she began to giggle and he questioned her sanity. Of course if he was related to Ron or Percy, Draco knew he’d be losing his mind too. 

Just when he was about to leave and deem this whole thing a waste of time and chide himself for being so stupid, she started to speak again, telling him to lighten up, that she was only kidding. Draco didn’t understand her humor but allowed his lips to smirk slightly, not really amused but just slightly intrigued. “You can’t touch stars, they’re not tangible you know.” He told her. Draco sighed, trying to calm down and do something a little less ‘himself’ if his plan was going to work, he had to be a little more like her. That made him shudder and he shrugged. “I guess if someone could touch a star...it could be interesting I guess.” He said and heard someone lurking around. “Night.” He said and then quickly headed down to get some rest, a headache brewing
