AN: Oh my goodness! I just realized how long it has been since I last updated and I am so sorry guys! I didn't realize that it's been so long! But I really hope that you enjoy this chapter! And to be completely honest I have no idea where this story is going/ I am having major writer's block with this so if you have any ideas I would love to hear them!
Anywho onto the story and remember to review!
"Fred!"
I stopped and looked behind me.
"Hermione?" I asked. I slowly walked over to her. "What are you doing out of bed? You should be in the hospital wing getting rest."
"I had to see you," she whispered.
"What?" I asked looking at her confused.
"I had to see you so that I could say thank you, for saving me," she told me looking straight at me. It felt like she was looking into my soul, which was a little unnerving to be honest.
"Umm…yeah…no problem," I replied tripping over the words. I scratched the back of my neck as I felt my face flush. "What are friends for right?"
Hermione blushed and said, "Right friends."
I mentally smacked myself. She obviously wanted to be more than friends…I think. Now I wasn't sure. I was going to say something but then I thought better.
There was silence for a minute until she said, "Well I should be getting back. I might have snuck out. See you later. Oh and George feels really bad about what happened too, you should go talk to him."
With that the girl I fancied was gone. I shook my head trying to figure out if what I had just seen was even real. I wasn't completely sure that it was. I sighed.
I headed back towards the Room of Requirement.
-Hermione's POV-
I woke up gasping for air. I looked around me not knowing where I was. I quickly realized that I was in the hospital wing, but why was I here?
"Oh good miss Granger you're up. How do you feel?" Madam Pomfrey asked as she came over to me.
I paused for a second waiting to see if I had any pain. That's when it shot across my head, temple to temple again, searing white hot pain. It felt like someone stabbed a hot poker right through my head. I gasped and clutched my head squeezing my eyes shut. "My head," I managed to gasp out to the Medi-witch.
I heard her walking around the room looking for something. She came back a few moments later. "This will help with the pain."
Without opening my eyes I took the potion and drank every last drop. I handed the empty bottle back to her. I kept my closed until the pain died from white hot to only a dull ache. I slowly opened my eyes.
"What happened?" I asked blinking a few times.
"You fainted again. That nice Weasley boy brought you back in," Madam Pomfrey told me. "I'm not sure how long this will last but I don't think that this is just a few times occurrence."
"What do you mean?" I asked in a small voice.
The Medi-witch let out a small sigh before saying, "This fainting thing just might be permanent."
"No, no," I said shaking my head, not believing what I was hearing. "That's impossible. There has to be a way to reverse it."
"I'm sorry Miss Granger but I don't think that there is a way," she told me before standing and moving away from me.
I wiped at my eyes not even realizing that I was crying. I laid back against my pillows as her words echoed back through my mind.
"You fainted again. I don't think that this is just a few times occurrence. This fainting thing just might be permanent. I don't think there is a way."
I let out another sigh. There had to be something that I could do.
"That nice Weasley boy brought you back in."
I knew that I had to talk to Fred. At least I could thank him for being there for me, again.
I waited until I heard Madam Pomfrey close the door to her private rooms. I sat up in bed and looked around. The room was completely still. I never changed out of my robes so clothes weren't a problem.
I quickly got up and ran across the room. I threw one last glance over my shoulder before opening the door and leaving. That's when I realized that I had no idea where Fred was. I decided to start in the Great Hall seeing as Weasley men love their food.
I was nearly there when I heard it.
"Do you know where Potter went?" Malfoy asked as he left the Great Hall.
"No," I heard Crabbe reply.
"Think he went off with a bunch of those traitors," Goyle said.
I waited until they passed before sneaking behind them and across the hall. I knew that there was likely one place where they would go off to. The Room of Requirement.
I walked off checking behind me every once in a while to make sure that no one was following me. It wasn't long before I reached the door, but I couldn't go in. That's when I saw it. Two redheads coming out of the room. I realized that it was George but he was dragging Fred.
"What the hell George," Fred said rubbing his arm after his twin had let go of him.
"You went to talk to Hermione and then bloody disappeared for hours Fred!" George exclaimed. "Where the hell were you?!"
I realized that's when George and Harry must have been talking. I knew that it was wrong to listen in to their conversation but I was worried about Fred. He seemed to be acting kinda strange.
I watched as Fred gave George a look and said, "I know you're my twin and everything but you're not my mother George. You don't need to scold me like I'm a five year old."
Now that was weird. Fred never got angry at George like that.
I watched as Fred walked away, not even noticing me standing against the wall. I watched as he reached the end of the corridor, glanced over his shoulder at George, and then ran.
I moved out of my place and walked over to George. "Are you alright?" I asked in a quiet voice.
"Hermione?" he asked confused. "What are you doing here?"
"Well I was going to talk to Fred but I couldn't help but overhear your fight," I said honestly. Lying to one of the biggest liars out there might not be a good idea.
George let out a sigh and said, "I'm so worried about him Hermione. He's been acting so weird. The things he said to me, the way he just disappears and blows it off, something is going on with him."
"I know George," I replied laying a hand on his arm.
Although the twins could be right arseholes they really cared about each other. I knew that George was beating himself up about this. Although he didn't say it out loud it was written all over him. I decided to help in the only way I knew how.
"Look I really should be getting back before anyone else knows I'm here. But if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm open."
"Thanks Hermione, but I think I can figure this one out on my own," George replied.
I shrugged my shoulders before walking away. I walked for a few steps then ran. That's when I saw it. That flash of red hair.
"Fred!" I called.
He stopped and looked at me.
"Hermione?" he asked. He slowly walked over to me. "What are you doing out of bed? You should be in the hospital wing getting rest."
"I had to see you," I whispered.
"What?" he asked looking at me confused.
"I had to see you so that I could say thank you, for saving me," I told him, looking straight at him. He met my gaze and it felt like he was looking right into me, which was a little strange to be honest.
"Umm…yeah…no problem," he replied tripping over the words. He scratched the back of his neck as his face started to turn pink. "What are friends for right?"
I felt my own face starting to get warm. "Right friends," I said. There was silence for a minute until I said, "Well I should be getting back. I might have snuck out. See you later." I thought I was done until a last minute thought came to me. "Oh and George feels really bad about what happened too, you should go talk to him."
Leaving Fred with that last piece of information, I ran back to the hospital wing. I was in bed before Madam Pomfrey came back to give me more medicine. I took the potion gladly before slowly falling asleep.
Blue eyes and laughter filled my dreams.
AN: I hope you liked it and please review! And if you have any ideas for me that would be great! I would love to hear them!
