She hesitated in the hallway, shifting her weight from one leg to the other. Staring at the stained wood door wishing for her Gryffindor courage to switch on and just knock on the stupid thing. She thought of turning away, returning to her room shared with Ginny and attempting to fall into the graces of sleep. Sleep had been an impossibility for the past week she knew tonight would be no different. She had to see him. Taking a giant breath of air she reaches up and gently knocks.

With a quick fury the door is opened as he stands there shirt less eyes weak from sleep, just staring at her. She got this far, she knew she couldn't trample the plan of action into tiny fragments.

"What is it Ms. Granger, and I swear to you someone better be dead!" He growls with a slight effort not to wake the entire hallway. She takes a small step forward as he stiffens from the close proximity of their bodies, his eyes searching her trying to think of reasons of why. Before he can speak to ask why she stretches her neck up and kisses him, softly running her tongue across his lips. Tightly he takes a hold of both of her shoulders and with little trouble pushes her back into the wall, inches from Remus and Tonk's quarters.

"Never do that again! You mud blood whore!" His voice was still quiet but the harshness cut her like a knife. Gryffindor bravery retreats as she feels her lip start to quiver and the threat of tears gathering.

"I'm sorry I I oh god I'm sorry!" She manages to blurt out through the sobs staring at the floor. An absolute fool, she was an absolute fool! She wanted to fling herself from the small window at the end of the hallway. She didn't know what she had excepted to happen, a part of her realized this was the most likely scenario. But she had allowed herself to be swept away by the what if and violently exotic endings.

"I suggest you go back to bed." She nods her head with a sense of defeat and turns away walking towards the stairs to the third floor to the room she should have went to when the thought first suggested itself. He hears him mutter something as the door is being shut, it sounded like mud blood; a new surging of tears fall down her face. An absolute fool.
