Written In The Stars
Chapter Four
Hermione had a very bad night that night, she didn't sleep, she was far too warm and well her mind just wouldn't stop thinking about things. All the things that were bothering her at this present time in her life decided to eat away at her brain that night and she couldn't dream of going to sleep if she hadn't go the sorted in her head. So at five thirty AM that morning when her eyes were heavy and her body felt as though it could hack no more, she switched off the alarm and went to sleep much to her relief. She was woken by a banging noise. She wondered what Draco was up to now. Did he ever think of giving her any peace at all, even when she was in her own bedroom. She grabbed her night gown and headed down to the common room, the banging sounded as though it was coming from outside the portrait hole as there was nothing happening in the common room. She walked towards the portrait to see what was going on and there was Harry standing banging his foot against the bottom of the portrait to get Hermione to hear him as he didn't know the password.
"Harry what are you doing? You are going to wake the dead if you keep doing that!" Hermione said with a shocked look on her face. She noticed Harry's bag looked as though it contained more than it could hold but she invited him in. They had a free next two classes so she knew that he would probably stay a while. She wondered where Ron was? She didn't expect him to be there after the other day. Harry took out two of the golden plates that normally took their place on the Gryffindor table from the great hall were all meals were consumed, two golden goblets that were also from the Gryffindor table, cutlery and a basket. Harry opened the lid of the basket and placed four pumpkin pasties, three biscuits, a chocolate frog and a yogurt onto her plate. He also poured some pumpkin juice into the goblet.
"I am going to sit here and make sure you eat most of that because you know that you aren't eating so tuck in" Harry said placing some of the food he had took from the kitchen onto the shining golden plate.
"Harry, you didn't need to do this, I" Hermione started but Harry interrupted her by putting a finger to his lips and pretending to eat so she would start. She just gave him a weak smile and lifted one of the sandwiches.
"Thank you Harry" Hermione said and tucked into the chicken and lettuce sandwich. She was glad that Harry was still talking to her. She didn't know what she would have done if she had only her books and the four walls of her dorm for company.
"So, how was class today?" Hermione said, lifting a second sandwich, this time the filling was tuna and onion.
"Oh the usual, you really are going to have to stop missing classes Hermione, the work load is getting monstrous and I know you are smart and all that but really you don't want to fall behind espeically if it is our O.W.L year" Harry said looking up from his sandwich at her with a worried look on his face.
"I'm starting to feel a lot better anyway now so I shall be back at class tomorrow" She gave him a fake reassuring smile. She knew all well that she wasn't feeling the slightest bit better, but it will maybe get her two best friends off her case, she would just have to deal with it, it will go away sometime Hermione thought to herself as she took a large sip from her goblet.
"How is Ron anyway?" Hermione said setting down the goblet and staring at Harry waiting for an answer.
"He misses you Hermione, I think you could see that after your little tiff, he will come round though, he just has to get used to you living with Malfoy then he will come round, you'll see" Harry said giving her a smile.
Hermione had just left the Head team common room, on time. She was heading down for a nice hearty breakfast before her first day back at class. She felt a little better knowing that she was going to see Harry again and she knew that if what Harry said was true, the all the work that will be threw at her will keep her mind off being sick. As she reached the massive wooden doors of the great hall she had a feeling of excitement getting back into the swing of things, seeing all the students eating breakfast again brought a smile to her face, it was better than lying under her quilt sick anyway. She went over to the Gryffindor table and sat down beside Harry, Ron being on the opposite side of him.
"Hey guys" Hermione said cheerfully as she lifted some bacon from the large platter in the middle of the table. She also put on her plate toast and prised the brown sauce of a second year she didn't know the name of.
"Hey, feeling better this morning? You look better!" Harry said after finishing the piece of scrambled egg in his mouth.
"Yes thanks, I went to bed really early and got a great night's sleep and was up before Malfoy so I could take a nice refreshing shower" Hermione said as she sloshed some of the pumpkin juice into her goblet. She glanced over at Ron who was shovelling his food into his mouth as if he was never going to get to eat again. Once he finished he got up and left for class without even a goodbye to Harry or anything. Hermione just rolled her eyes and started eating her bacon and toast sandwich.
Harry and Hermione finished their breakfast and started heading up towards Transfiguration. Harry didn't want to be caught up in the middle of Hermione and Ron's fight but he really hadn't got a choice in the matter. He stood at the back of the line that had formed outside Professor McGonagall's classroom. As she walked past she clapped her hands for silence and opened the door swiftly and gave them all permission to enter. They started taking their places, Harry beside Ron, Draco beside Pansy and Hermione beside Neville. Hermione got out all of her equipment eager and ready to start the lesson.
"Nice to see you back Miss Granger" Professor McGonagall smiled sweetly at her.
"Thank Proffessor" Hermione said in return and giving her a smile and a nod. Hermione heard a loud whisper from the opposite side of the room,
"About time to" it said. She turned round and looked and Draco was smiling at her with the same snide little smile that he always gave he when he was pleased what he done to annoy her. He then laced his fingers through Pansy's and started to kiss her. He ran his fingers down her jaw line. She smiled while still kissing him back. She ran her fingers through his platinum blonde hair. Hermione started to feel light headed and the room started spinning, the air felt as though it was being sucked from her lungs. The next thing she felt was a large bang against her whole body onto something cold and hard. It was the floor.
