Holly's POV

I ran as fast as I could.
Away from him.
From Draco.

I couldn't believe what had just happened, he'd kissed me. He meant it. And, like the clumsy bloody baron I am, I threw away the chance... All thanks to my stupid bloody scar!

He must think I'm crying because of him. Draco is going to hate me and what I'm I supposed to say- "Sorry: My scar hurt so I ran away while you were kissing me?!?"

Suddenly my vision became blurred. The sickening pain in my ear throbbed and I bashed into someone. Someone in a hurry.

"Ouch! Watch where your-" I began, expecting a light voiced pupil to chirp an apology.
"I-I'm s-so s-s-sorry Potter! My doing, my bad. I'm in a rush, you see. Teachers meeting."

"Professor, I'm terribly sorry!"

"Potter, now you've heard my part, what might an unwell student such as yourself be doing out of bed at this time of night?"

"I-I'm... Off to see Professor McGonagall about my rooms- you see, I've been in the care of Malfoy in a new chamber area." I lied quickly.

"And where might this chamber be, Potter?"

"Just past the hospital won't and 7 steps to the left. There's a stone wall. But there's a password to get in."

"I think a Professor such as myself should be taking a look to see if everything is going well as far as I know, Malfoy and yourself  are very close now, no?"

"Vaguely, we are friends yes."

"I've heard more than that, Potter."

"Pardon me, Professor, but who really believes the rumours spread about this school?"

"Rumours originate from truths. I really must be going- goodbye Potter. Wait! Where did you say your new chambers were?"

"Past the hospital wing and to the left-"

"And the password?..." Quirrel snapped.

"Dilectio mutatio iterum. Goodbye Professor"
