Notes- Well I feel terrible for making everyone wait like this. How will I
make up for it? I hope that the chapter is extra good, because you had to
wait so ling. None of my reviewers have patience! But it takes time to
write a really good chapter... So here it is. Well at least I hope that it
is good. The good news is that I will be updating sooner, because school is
out. And right now I don't have any bad news, so I guess that that is good.
Ch.9-
The days went by slowly. Harry was still in the infirmary, and they could only visit him for 30 minutes each day. Hermione had been taking extra extensive notes, because she wanted Harry to have all the material for when he got out better. Ron had been really quiet. He didn't have anyone to play Wizard's Chess with. Well there were his brothers, Dean, Seamus, Neville, and Lee... but it wasn't the same. Draco was really relentless.
"Where's Potty? Mudblood is this the only question that you don't know the answer to?"
"Leave her alone, Malfoy."
"Finally some one talks... even though it is a Weasel." He started to laugh, and gave them the usual smirk. "This isn't any fun without Potter." They didn't respond, and they didn't even try to insult him. Draco knew that something was wrong. "Where is Potter? Not that I care."
"He isn't feeling well."
"Well, I hope that it's serious." Ron's face turned red. He tried to control his urge to punch Malfoy in the face. Hermione grabbed his arm. She gave him a look that said he had better leave Malfoy alone.
"You need to learn when to keep your mouth shut, Malfoy." Hermione squeezed his arm and let go.
"And you Weasley, need to learn your place. Which is just above rats and just below monkeys. You shouldn't even be allowed in Hogwarts. You are no better than garbage..." He was cut off by Ron's fist hitting him square in the jaw. He stumbled backwards. The fact that Ron had just hit him was still registering, and he quickly lunged at Ron. Hermione backed away from them. She didn't know who to feel bad for. Ron because he would be punished, or Malfoy because Ron was going to beat the crap out of him.
Malfoy wasn't going down without a fight. He managed to get a really good uppercut in, but Ron then punched him in the stomach. He landed on the floor with a thud. Ron began to walk away cradling his eye. Malfoy refused to be beaten by someone like Ron. He picked up his wand and was about to mutter a curse, when Hermione pointed her wand at him and said, "Petrificus Totalus!" Malfoy froze right there, and fell flat on his back. Ron looked at Hermione with a confused look. "What I can't get a hit in too?" He laughed at her. It was good to hear them both laugh again. After much fighting they took Draco to the infirmary. "If we don't take him and he is discovered by a teacher, then we will be in even more trouble." Ron finally saw the logic of what she had said.
Madame Pomfrey took one look at Malfoy, and shook her head. "These kids and their fighting. One day one of them will do some real damage." She fixed him up, and sent him on his way.
"I can't believe this. I will get them both for this." He was walking to the door of the infirmary to leave when something caught his eye. It was a glint or glare from something like a mirror. He went to see what it was and it wasn't a mirror it was a pair of glasses. He looked at the owner of the glasses and was surprised. It was Potter. He had never seen him look so weak. He thought that for a moment he felt pity for him, but quickly banished that thought. Malfoy looked around to see if anyone was around, and no one was. He stood there a moment. "If anyone deserves to die, it's you Potter. You and all your friends. Your friends and their families. I promise that if you don't die now, I will kill you someday because of all the hell caused me." He could feel the anger in his very veins. It was making his skin hot. He had never hated someone so much before, and it felt good.
He walked away for the motionless form that was Harry. Dumbledore walked around from behind the curtain. He looked down tenderly at Harry. "I never knew that he hated you that much. Hate that powerful can destroy a person... I only hope that somehow he can't live up to his promise." He stood there in silence with a placid face. He turned and left Harry to the care of Madame Pomfrey.

Hermione and Ron had brought Malfoy to the infirmary, but as soon as Madame Pomfrey took him they left. They had other more important things than to worry about Malfoy. They went to lunch.
"Oy, Ron what happened to your eye?" asked his brother Fred.
"Nothing."
"Ron, have you looked in the mirror lately? You have a black eye. What happened?" George was always the one to point out the obvious.
"I tell you everything that you need to know don't I?" They shook their heads in agreement. "Well this is one of those things that you don't need to know."
They looked rather shocked. "I never thought I'd see the day that Ron would get a backbone... Well at least towards us." George laughed at Fred's joke.
Ron on the other hand wasn't laughing. Fred saw this, and didn't say anything else concerning the matter. George followed in his brother's lead.
"So how are classes going?" George asked timidly.
"Fine."
"That's good. How about you Hermione?"
"Good."
"Same here." Fred elbowed George in the ribs. He put his pointer finger vertically over his lips. Not another word was said between them at lunch.
*
Draco was really late for lunch. He came in and found a seat near Crabbe and Goyle. They were asking where he had been, and what had happened to his face. Draco said a few nasty words, but wouldn't tell them that he had gotten beaten up by Weasley. He ate some of the cold food, but it made him loose his appetite.
After Crabbe and Goyle knew that he was done they walked with him to their next class which was Herbology. They walked slowly so that they could taunt as many people as possible. Draco didn't say a word he just sneered and leered at people. It didn't matter if they were older or younger. The only people they didn't pick on were in Slytherin. Everyone else was free game.
*
Madame Pomfrey went to check on Harry. "Heaven bless you child. You just can't keep yourself from getting hurt." She took his blood pressure, and left him. His diagnosis was still uncertain.
Author Notes: I hope that you all liked that. I had a lot more Draco (because someone asked for him). And I had a little more action. Which is always fun to write. I'm really sorry that it has taken so long to update. I don't know how many times I have apologized, but it isn't enough.
Cleo2427- I am so sorry that you have had to wait so long! I feel terrible! But hopefully my next chapter will be up soon. *cross your fingers*
Juvenus- Don't worry you weren't.... too.... annoying. Hahaha! OH well. Yeah I like Fawkes too. I really liked writing about him, and hopefully I will use him later. ^_^
Ray of Moonlight05- Well I am glad that the last chapter wasn't a "major NOOOO." But I can't grantee that there won't be some more of those, but hopefully they too will be good "NOOOO's". ^_^
Amo il Ragazzo- Well that was a pretty long review! I am shocked that you don't have patience! You need it when it comes to my fanfics, because I often get a little blocked. But I am working on it. I hope that I didn't keep you waiting too long (although I know it was too long). But I can only apologize so many times. I am also waiting on your next chapter...... Hop to it! I love writing with Draco (aka Tom Felton), because he is so mean and nasty.... it is just great..... plus he is so cute! What can I say? I hope that that was enough Draco to suffice for now. But know that I am going to use a more of him. ^_^ And thanks for asking so politely.
All Mighty Terrestrial- Thanks for reading this story! That was really nice! I hope that you update soon. But I am still waiting to come up with the "sense making" part. But I am well on my way..... or at least I think so. ^_^
