Hermione and Draco where sitting in the hospital wing on a very sunny Saturday afternoon of

June 4th. Also the last Hogsmeade trip of the year and due to Hermione's suddenly unknown

illness she couldn't go.

A few weeks ago Hermione started to feel light headed, very sleepy and very uncomfortable. When these feelings got worse her boyfriend, none other than Draco Malfoy, insisted on taking her to the hospital wing. Madame Pomfrey did a bunch of tests and still couldn't figure out what was wrong with her and forced her to stay over night.

"Draco, I'm scared," Hermione whispered in Draco's ear, making him snap out of his thoughts.

"It'll be ok Hermione. Don't worry." He tried not to sound worried so he wouldn't get Hermione more upset then she already was, but he was worried and he couldn't help it. He knew she couldn't be pregnant because they never did it before. They've only been going out for about 3 months. Plus since no one knew about their relationship, not even Potter or Weasley (as they would shatter him to pieces) it would be too risky. They've always had to sneak around and whenever they were near each other they had to act how they used to before they started going out...like enemies.

Draco held Hermione's hand tightly. "I wish Madame Pomfrey would get back and tell us we can go," Draco said.

"Me too," Hermione replied. "But what if I can't go? What if there is something seriously wrong with me?"

"Don't worry. You're going to be fine," Draco grabbed her other hand. "I wont let anything happen to you." He bent down and kissed her on the cheek. He loved the touch of her skin. It was so soft and smooth. He wondered how she could keep it so healthy.

Just then Harry and Ron came bursting through the hospital wing doors and Draco immediatly let go of Hermione's hands.

"Hermione! We heard about." Ron started but stopped in mid sentence, staring at Draco suspiciously.

"What on earth are you doing here Malfoy?" Harry shot at him quickly.

"Nothing. Just came to see how the mudblood was," Draco said with a smirk. This didn't bother Hermione because she knew deep down he loved her.

"And why the hell would you care what's wrong with Hermione?" Ron asked even more suspicious this time.

"Well I didn't actually come to see how she is. I came to make her feel worse than she already does," he smirked again.

Harry gave him a little push. "Leave her alone Malfoy and get the hell out of here." Draco decided he would leave before he made Potty and the Weasel even more suspicious. He mouthed a "I'll be back later" to Hermione and left out of the hospital wing.

Ron and Harry sat down on either side of Hermione's bed. "So do you know what's wrong yet?" Ron asked in hesitation.

Hermione looked down at the bed sheets and her eyes where watered. "No," she finally replied.

Harry patted her on the back. "Don't worry it can't be that bad."

"You don't know that!" she sobbed. "My blood is muggle blood, I could have any of their diseases or illnesses." Harry pulled Hermione into a friendly hug and Ron just stared at her lost for words.

Ron finally spoke up. "Just so you know I'm here for you Hermione. All the way, no matter what happens."

"Thanks," Hermione smiled.

Harry was looking at Ron in a weird way. Ron had said that in such a passionate tone. Harry had always asked Ron if he had a thing for Hermione and Ron always denied it, but Harry was sure he did.

There was silence for the next 10 minutes. It was broken by Madame Pomfrey walking in.

"Hello Potter, Weasley," she said nodding her head in their direction. She looked at Hermione and frowned.

"What is it?" Hermione asked sitting up. She was ready for the truth, but she was scared she might regret it and she wasn't sure she could handle it. She bit her tongue and waited to hear what shocking news would await her.

Madame Pomfrey pulled up a chair beside Hermione's bed. "I've called your parents Ms. Granger, so you have two choices. Either you can wait for your parents or hear it from me now."

Hermione thought for a minute. "Ummm," Hermione hesitated but came to her decision. "I want to here it from you now," she replied. Harry and Ron sat up in their chairs ready to hear the news that might be very shocking for all of them.

"I'm sorry Miss Granger, but you are suffering from a muggle disease called kidney failure. Your in your last stage of it, and if we don't get you help soon it can be fatal."
