Draco was sitting by Luna in the hospital ward. She was still asleep, but Draco felt he was still looking after her. The rest of the hospital was empty, so he was alone with an unconscious Luna. He liked the peacefulness and quietness of the atmosphere. He could here himself think.
Just then Draco heard footsteps. He quickly hid behind a nearby curtain, as the footsteps got closer. It was Hermione! 'Thank God I hid' Draco thought. Hermione was holding a get well soon card which she placed at the side of the bed. Luna's eyelids began to flicker.
'Hello Hermione,' said Luna 'How long have you been here?'
'Not long' Hermione replied
'That's odd. I could have sworn someone has been by me for a while'
'I didn't see anyone leave'
'Maybe they are still here?'
'I'll have a look'
Draco began to sweat nervously. He was going to be spotted, and then everyone would think that he was playing some horrible prank. No one would ever believe that Luna was his only friend. He would be expelled as everyone would believe what Hermione thought.
Hermione was approaching the curtain. There was no where that he could hide; Draco was trapped. What was he going to say? How would the others respond? How would he respond?
'DRACO. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!'
He had been found. Draco began to feel weak at the knees. Hermione stared at him arms crossed, her face struck terror. In the background Luna looked at him, smiling.
'I was here to visit Luna. I mean I do kind of owe it to her after the other day'
'What did you do the other day? Luna please tell me it isn't what I think! Please! Please no!' Hermione's voice had gone a little softer, but she sounded confused.
'No' chorused Luna and Draco
'Well how do I know that you not just lying to me' Hermione asked
'Because I am dating Neville' Luna said,quickly.
Harry and Ron were now the only two left in the common room. Since the otheres had gone to bed. Ron was being grumpy as Slytherin had won.
'At least Ginny has not been seriously hurt' Harry piped up
'Mm... I guess. It could have been worse'
'Exactly'
'I need to apologize to Hermione for being a right mardy git' Ron said
'I'm sure Hermione was expecting it tonight due to the circumstances'
'Yes but what if she wasn't and is getting so fed up of me that she cheats. That is why I like Hermione; she is always honest and faithful. Do you know what? That's the reason I don't mind you dating my sister.'
