Chapter 6
Fifth Day
Hermione pov
I went to eat breakfast with Ginny instead of Harry and Ron. I still hadn't received an apology from Ron so I guessed he was still mad at me.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't be rude." I heard someone said.
I looked up, it was Ronald. I smiled, but it wasn't because he apologized to me, that was because Draco was right. He gave me a smile then he sat down with Harry. I peered through the space between him and Harry, and then I saw my blonde smirking at me. I couldn't wait to tell him he was right, Ron apologized for being rude. But I need to finish my breakfast first. Speaking of Draco, he was weird and I felt weird.
He is nice because he is your "boyfriend" now. That voice said again.
Point made…But I really don't know. I replied to that voice in my head, which was ridiculous, Hermione Granger having internal battle….for the first time.
You have a crush on him, don't you?
I don't know seriously. He is handsome and attractive. He cares for me and he comforts me when nobody does. He is like an old friend of mine. He isn't that git anymore. He can make me forget all the sad things. I think I take this game too seriously, am I? I really enjoy the moments when we walk hand in hand. I love the way he strokes my hair, awkward but comfortable. I dreamt of him every night. I really hope this is not a game but a real relationship.
Maybe you can tell him how you feel.
I don't think I can survive if he says "It's just a game. Do I look like a blood traitor to you? I don't fancy mud-bloods!" I shook my head.
"Hermione, what are you thinking?" Harry asked, looking worried.
"Nothing," I said, managed to fake a smile.
I grabbed my books and headed to the dungeon for double potions, with the Slytherins.

The lesson started. But Draco wasn't here yet. I was really concerned, where would he be? Was he sick? Did anything happen to him? Oh Merlin what happened to me too? I wasn't paying any attention to class and I thought about Draco.
He is my boyfriend and he is now missing! How can I not be worried?
I can assure you that you have a crush on Draco Malfoy.
Yeah but it's not the time to discuss about this! I need to know where he is now!
"Miss Granger, can you please tell us the use of the potion I've just mentioned?" Slughorn's voice woke me up.
"I'm sorry professor I'm not feeling very well. May I go to the hospital wing?" I stood up.
"Sure," Slughorn looked at me, worried expression was on his face.
"Thank you." I packed my things quickly and ran out of the classroom.
I came across Crabbe and Goyle when I stepped out of the dungeon.
"Do you know where Draco is?" I asked quickly.
"He is in the hospital wing." Crabbe said.
"WHY?" I was more nervous.
"He was beaten. We have just sent him to the hospital wing." Goyle answered.
OH MY GODRIC! I almost got a heart attack. I didn't thank them and I ran towards the hospital wing immediately. Who on earth will beat Draco Malfoy except Harry and Ron who were in the dungeon with Slughorn right at the moment?

"Draco!" I ran to the blonde who was lying on a white bed.
"Hey Hermione," he replied weakly.
He had a black eye and there were cuts on his pale face.
"Who," I tried to calm myself.
"Never mind, it's all over." He said softly.
"Tell me please," I whined.
"Don't be mad… Cormac McLaggen." He sighed.
"WHAT? WHY THE BLOODY HELL WOULD HE BEAT YOU!?" I shouted loudly.
Now I've done it, my anger level reached the new level.
"I'll see you later." I gave him a kiss on his forehead.
"Where're you going?" Draco was shocked.
I stormed out of the hospital wing. You better be careful McLaggen.
HGDMHGDMHGDM
"MCLAGGEN!" I shouted out loud when I climbed through the Fat lady portrait.
"What can I help you Granger?" He smirked. Ewwww….Draco's smirk is way better.
"Explain why my boyfriend is in the hospital wing. NOW!" I glared at him.
"I'm jealous. You choose him as your boyfriend, why? He has been insulting you for 6 years." He looked at me, pouting.
"Well, he is more attractive than you. Even he has a black eye now, he is still more attractive than you. So stop the pouting now, don't make me feel sick. He is so caring and he comforts me when nobody does. I don't care about the past. I care about now. I love him and I'm happy with him. If you truly love me, you should be happy and congratulate me because I'm happy and loved. But your behavior shows me that you don't truly love me and you can't control yourself. I won't consider you if I'm single again and that's what you pay for beating my boyfriend." I still glared at him.
All the Gryffindors gasped. I shot McLaggen one last dagger then I turned around and climbed out of the portrait.
Oh that felt great when I said I love him and I'm happy with him!
HGDMHGDMHGDM
"How are you?" I ran towards Draco.
I sat beside the bed and held his hands. He was cold.
"I'm alright. Where have you been?" he gave me a little smile. Awww he is so cute!
"Gryffindor Common room, have been yelling at McLaggen." I answered.
"Why are you so angry?" he smirked.
"Oh Draco, I was so worried. When Crabbe and Goyle told me you were beaten and you were in the hospital wing I almost got a heart attack!" I burst in to tears. I was really worried.
"Don't cry, I'm fine now. Everything is going to be alright." He wiped away the tears, sat up and hugged me.
I hugged him back lightly, afraid to hurt him.
"Oh by the way, Ron apologized for being rude this morning." I smiled.
"Told you, I am smart am I?" he smirked again.
"Oh yes you are."I chuckled.
The way he smirks makes me smile, the way he talks gives me butterflies, just everything about him makes me happy.
