As they were leaving the shop they all waved farewell to Madame Cho, short for Choventate and promised to return again.
"Now that was fun! I brought heaps of lingerie and can u believe it!? They even have socks! I'll show you girls when we get back but there's some with cute little monkeys! Their to die for!!!"
"Anyhow ladies, where are we off to now?"
Blaise could be a gentleman when he wanted to be, surprisingly.
"Umm… Good question Pansy? Hermione? Anything you guys need to do before we head to Blaise's?"
"I don't, I'm good thanks"
"Um... yeah I'm good, shouldn't we be heading home Gin? It's getting late"
"Oh, oops my bad I forgot to tell you we're having dinner at Blaise's, you don't mind, do you Herm?"
"Um no, but we never told your mum, she'll freak if I don't have you home on time"
"Oh how cute Granger's trying to be the caring considerate 'adult' in the group"
"Oh shove off Malfoy, At least Ginny has parents that care!"
"My parents care, they just know teenagers shouldn't have a time limit if they do they usually disobey it anyway... And you know nothing about my parents so don't you even start about them! You know nothing about me either MUD- Granger!"
"You dare call me that name and I swear I'll strangle you 'till you're blue in the face!"
"In my opinion I thought I was doing good all day, I never finished the word once! But if you really want to tempt me then go ahead"
"Argh! Why do you always have to be a little smart arse!'
"Well personally I didn't think my arse was smart, as my brain is in my head and not my arse…."
"Ha ha ha that's so funny I have seemed to have forgotten to LAUGH!"
"That's ok, I forgive you, I always knew I was one hell of a comedian"
Hermione had, had even of Malfoy's taunts and she lunged for his throat with her hands out front, Malfoy was caught off guard smirking to himself, before anyone realized what was happening. Hermione had Malfoy on the ground with her hands firmly around his throat and he was mouthing silent words to no one in particular.
"Oh gawd I never thought Herm was one to use violence!"
Pansy yelled as Gin, herself and Blaise ran to where the two lay on the ground rolling around, Hermione trying to successfully strangle the Malfoy who was trying to release himself from her grasp without any success. Blaise got hold of Hermione around the waist while Ginny and Pansy peeled her fingers off of Draco's throat.
"LET ME KILL THE BLOODY FERRET!!!! LET ME KILL HIM!!!!!!"
"…No Hermione no…"
"Blaise shut up and LET GO OF ME!!!!!!"
"I will not do either"
"Hermione, calm down! Gosh I've never seen you like this!!!"
Ginny was getting worried, 'what was Hermione changing into?'
"Well if Ferret Head over there never started then you wouldn't of!"
"Ginny is right, you got to calm down! It's only Malfoy; don't let him get to you! I bet he was only joking around, you usually take it so well, and I used to admire you for it"
"Pansy, Ginny, Blaise please let me go! I'm fine!"
"Yeah let her go if she has another pass at me she'll get what's coming"
Draco had walked back up the pathway as he had been watching her from a small distance away thinking distance was safe and dusted off the 'dirt', it was a bitumen street.
"Is that right Mr. Malfoy!?... Woman basher!!!!!!!"
"WHAT!!?! THIS woman is insane!!!!!!"
Blaise still had his arms wrapped securely around Hermione's waist, not wanting his best friend strangled nor wanting Hermione to do something she may regret.
"…ok blaise PLEASE let go of me… I'm fine ok!?"
Gin nodded at Blaise and he let go of her.
She casually walked over to Draco who had his wand out ready. Ginny, Pansy and Blaise were ready to run after her again in case of another 'incident'.
"Yeah let's do this the fair way or have you come to beg forgiveness, bowing and kissing my feet?"
She kept advancing, Draco was getting nervous. He didn't understand what she was doing.
'What is she doing! She's coming towards me, I have my wand out and she's still advancing! Has she gone nuts!? She doesn't even have her wand out, her hands aren't anywhere near it! Her eyes, she's not even here, she looks so mad, what is she going to do if she gets a hold of me? Oh no! She's only 5 feet away! What am I going to do!? I don't want to hurt her but what choice is she leaving me!? Gawd she looks pale, she looks like she'll…'
At that moment when Hermione was only 3 feet away she slowed to a stop, she swayed and everyone was watching her then without warning her legs gave out and she slowly fell to the ground, it happened so slowly it scared them all.
"…HERMIONE!!!!"
Ginny was screaming as she saw her best friend falling to the ground, Ginny had never known Hermione to faint, if that's what was happening.
Draco caught her head inches from the ground, she may have attempted to kill him just a few minutes ago but that didn't mean she had to die.
Draco kneeled on the ground with Hermione's head in his lap with his hands supporting it incase she moved. Ginny and Pansy were sitting on the ground on either side of her limp body and Blaise stood over her, looking at her pale face. Subconsciously Draco had started playing with one of Hermione's strands of hair that had fallen beside her left ear.
"What should we do!?"
Ginny was scared for her friend's health.
Draco felt her throat for a pulse, it was there, faintly.
"She's got a pulse"
'Wow she's so soft and smooth… and warm… STOP! What am I thinking!? It's Granger for goodness sake! …she did look hot when she was angry at me, especially when she was trying to strangle me, Gawd she looked hot then…. ARGH! What am I thinking!!!!?'
"Draco… Are you ok?"
Ginny started thinking everyone might of drank something.
"…Yeah of course I am why?"
"Because you looked kind of pale and distant"
"We don't want you fainting too"
Blaise was smiling as he thought it'd be funny to see Draco faint.
"HA HA HA funny guys really I'm pissing myself you're so funny, anyway guys don't faint, they pass out! HA HA HA Now that was funny"
"Hello unless you guys are blind we have a problem here… on the ground... a limp body!"
After a few minutes of quick talking, when they decided what to do, Draco lifted Hermione's body in his arms and everyone Apparated.
