He hadn't expected to get caught - not, at least, before he reached the common room. There, he could handle things. None of the other Slytherins, Draco knew, could even think of telling on him. Slytherins, they stuck together. Union, for them, did not exist out of love, but out of the knowledge that it helped ensure they reign supreme.

But, point is, he had been caught. Caught by none other than Mrs. Norris. Her eyes gleamed at him from behind the enchanted suit of armour [asleep. Draco had made sure of that because this particular suit of armour could make more noise than a house-elf that had just been freed. He had marked it using Flagrate this evening.] and then she opened her mouth to meoooow, and he was suddenly aware of what this meant - Filch. He'd be here, and his perfect plan, ruined.

"Oh no, you don't."

Mrs. Norris's eyes widened, but his strong, gloved hand had been placed on her mouth before she could call her caretaker. The cat attempted to bite him, but Draco shouldered and carried her off, letting go of her only after he had stepped into the common room.
