 As students filed out of the castle to the grounds after classes were over, Draco made his way towards the hospital wing instead. He knew that Hermione wouldn’t falter in her routine just because of nice weather, and he was hoping to catch her alone, without Potter. He walked down the corridor toward the wooden double-door that led to the hospital wing, but he didn’t enter. Instead, he crept into one of the unused chambers and left the door cracked open, so that he could watch people coming up the hallway without being seen.
