Hermione wiped her eyes at the back of her sleeve and quietly crept behind him, hiding behind statues as she went. She tiptoed down the corridor after Malfoy, trying not to make a sound. They were almost all the way down the hall when Hermione stubbed her toe on the statue she was about to hide behind and yelped quietly. She put her hand over her mouth immediately, trying to muffle the sound, but Draco whipped around and squinted down the empty corridor. Hermione didn’t move, hoping he wouldn’t come back to check. Being caught creeping behind Malfoy really wasn’t something she would ever want to happen.
