"You!..." Hermione screamed at him, "You left Harry there without checking whether if he was okay or not! Are you happy that it's come to this? This is the result of leaving him there!"

"Calm down Miss Granger, I did it for his own good!" Dumbledore quickly replied.

"For his own good?!" Hermione screamed at him

"I'm sorry about everything Miss Granger."

Why don't we all get something nice to eat? We can talk about this somewhere else, where we know no-one could be listening to this."

"I hate Voldemort..." Ron blurted out. Everyone was shocked.

And that was one of Ron's wisest moments.

Chapter Three – Decisions

Draco sat down, shivering in his cold room; it was Midnight. He had heard from his father that Potter was in a Muggle hospital. His father had sounded so pleased about this, it made him feel sick. He didn't like Potter, but he didn't exactly hate him either. Most of the teases, threats and all around being mean was to do with the fact that his father had been ordering him to. Every time Draco came back from Hogwarts it was the same old thing: 'Harry Potter: give him hell, and his annoying bunch of friends too. Especially the mud-blood.' Draco hated the word mud-blood, he was so much like his mother.

One thing he especially hated were the Death Eaters. They made him cringe as he thought of what his father told him they did – kill people, rape women, torture innocent souls. The list of terrible things went on and on but Draco did not feel in the mood to recite them all. That was when Draco Malfoy, son of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy decided he had enough of his deceitful, arrogant, disgusting father.

He had known for a long time that he would have to choose between standing by Voldemort, or by Harry and Dumbledore. Silently he got up and started packing his bags. He would go to Sirius' house as he knew that it was 12 Grimmauld Place where the Order of the Phoenix was stationed. He had kept that from his father and he now knew why. When he finished packing he crept down stairs, lit the fire, got some floo powder, and whispered, "Number 12 Grimmauld Place". Swaying out of the fire at Grimmauld Place he laughed knowing that his parents didn't even know he was gone. This alerted Sirius and he can running down the stairs in dog form, barking all the way down. Draco went up to the dog laughing with a kind smile and patted him, "Hey Sirius, how are you?" he asked, his words kind and soft. This confused Sirius a lot. So He got up and transformed back into a human.

"Draco, what the hell? Is that you?" he asked with a confused expression on his face.

"Um... yeah, it's me. I decided that I've had enough of my father." he paused and muttered, "Arrogant tosser," that made Sirius smile for a second then he went back to looking confused and serious.

"Well, why don't you sit down and have a drink? It's cold outside, you know. How about a nice hot chocolate?" Sirius asked a small fake smile forming on his lips.

"Sure," Draco replied. It was a while before Sirius got back, but when he came back he had two mugs, one in each hand. He passed Draco one before having a sip out of his own. They started talking about why Draco had left, why he was at Sirius' place, and most of all why he chose to fight with the light side. Unknown to Draco, Sirius had put veritaserum into his drink, so that Sirius could tell whether or not he was telling the truth. After Draco finished his drink, Sirius only felt it was right to tell him that he had spiked the drink with veritaserum.

Hermione sat there quietly waiting. Sirius and Ron had gone home long ago, so she decided that if no one was there and able to hear her, she would listen to her music. She leaned down to her bag and grabbed her iPod. Turning it on, she listened to the song which came on automatically, "I'm Only Me When I'm With You" by Taylor Swift. She liked Taylor Swift as she could relate to most of her songs, especially this one and "Teardrops On My Guitar". She started to hum along to the tune quietly, then when the lyrics started she started singing softly to Harry.

"Friday night beneath the stars
In a field behind your yard
You and I are painting pictures in the sky

And sometimes we don't say a thing
Just listen to the crickets sing
Everything I need is right here by my side

And I know everything about you
I don't wanna live without you

I'm only up when you're not down
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
It's like no matter what I do

Well, you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I'm only trying
To let you know that what I feel is true
And I'm only me when I'm with you

Just a small town boy and girl
Living in the crazy world
Trying to figure out what is and isn't true

And I don't try to hide my tears
The secrets, all my deepest fears
Through it all nobody gets me like you do

And you know everything about me
You say that you can't live without me

I'm only up when you're not down
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
It's like no matter what I do

Well, you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I'm only trying
To let you know that what I feel is true
And I'm only me when I'm with you

When I'm with anybody else
It's so hard to be myself
And only you can tell

That I'm only up when you're not down
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
It's like no matter what I do

Well, you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I'm only trying
To let you know that what I feel is true

And I'm only me
Who I wanna be
Well, I'm only me when I'm with you
With you, oh, yeah
"

She knew the tune and song so well it was effortless for her to sing along. The only thing she could bring to mind that she had trouble in was quiddich, Harry's favourite sport. She made a promise to herself that when he woke up and was back in full health she would get him to teach her properly how to play the sport herself.

"You know, you're a really good singer," Draco whispered. Hermione jumped, he actually complemented her and what was he doing here anyway

"What the hell are you doing here?" she asked in a icy tone.

Sirius decided it was time to jump in to the situation before she did what she had done the day before with Dumbledore, "Whoa, Hermione, he's apologized for all his rude behaviour. He's now fighting with us. He admitted his loyalty... while under the effects of veritaserum." Sirius quickly said, trying to calm her down. "Oh yeah, you sounded really good just then... singing... I'm sure even unconscious Harry loved it," he smiled knowing that mentioning Harry would distract her. Draco walked up towards Harry's bed and sighed. He started to apologize, even though Harry was unconscious, "I'm so sorry..." he paused not knowing whether or not to use Harry's first name "...Harry.... I hope you don't mind if I call you Harry. Anyway, I was taking orders from my father to be mean and I've left home to fight for the light," he paused again this time getting his thoughts together, "I hope you can at least think about forgiving me." With that, Draco disapparated away, back to Grimmauld place with Sirius following straight after him. Hermione let out a sigh which turned into a yawn, as she was extremely tired. She slumped down her head resting gently on the side of the bed she fell asleep in a sitting position.

Harry could feel Hermione slip down and settle her head gently on the edge of his hospital bed. He started fighting with his body and mind to wake himself up. His eyes began to flutter open, everything was too bright for him and he had to firmly shut his eyes again. It took a few minutes but he got used to the brightness and everything came into view, Hermione was resting gently on the side of his bed, her head on her arms and legs underneath her. He moved, his legs were stiff as were his arms, and he picked her up and brought her to the hospital bed. He gently laid her down, careful not to stir her, and sighed. He moved a curl of chestnut brown hair from her face and looked at her sweet, innocent, beautiful sleeping face.
