Thank you for your reviews! You said that you want me to update soon - so no complaints? :P
Sorry if my grammar is going wrong - my laptop does not have spelling nor grammar checks so it is all by my brain! xD
Baobhan Sith - I looked it up it is a real mythical creature (how does that make sense?) But yeah - look them up!

Chapter 9 – Babe I Will Help You
I wake up, groaning, and I turn to see Pansy laying in her bed, and Hannah missing from hers. My stomach feels queazy, and my throat and tongue are dry. I look around and see a glass of water laying on my bedside – thank god for Hannah! I take a sip, but as I move I feel my stomach turn.
I lay down again, and see a vile on the table. "Dear Herminius, I couldn't sleep – I was being sick! – So I realised that I should go and make a Hang-over Potion. There was a little left over, so here it is! Love your best friend, Draco" I laugh at him, and I smell the potion, before downing the pink liquid. A few seconds later I feel the headache in the back of my head disappearing and the dull ache in my stomach gone. The queasiness is gone and I feel re-energised. I get up quickly, expecting a thumping headache but it does not come, and I get dressed quickly. Time to work on my NEWTs.
I summon my books, and they fly to me. I place my quills and inks on top of the pile, and it floats behind me, as I walk into our library and study room.
As I walk in, I see Draco and Ernie chatting – something I never thought I would see happening.
"Hi guys" I call to them, and Draco grins.
"Looking better than you did this morning" He smirks.
"You know exactly how to make a girl feel good about herself" I roll my eyes teasingly at him, before placing my books down on the table and sitting next to my "Best friend".
"Of course I do"
"Draco. Don't be mean to Hermione" Ernie demands to Draco.
"Calm mate, we're having a laugh!" Draco grins and sticks his tongue out at me.
"Child" I mutter, and open a couple of books.
" I don't care, she deserves respect!" Ernie glares at Draco and I laugh.
"See Draco, I deserve respect." I smirk and Draco rolls his eyes at me. Suddenly out of nowhere Ernie throws a punch at Draco in the face. "ERNIE! What are you doing?!" I exclaim, getting up and glaring at the boy, I had once seen as a friend.
"Sorry Hermione", and he gets up and runs out of the library, with his books flying after him.
"Are you ok, mush?" I ask Draco, and I lift up his face, where the skin his red, and his lip is bleeding.
"Yeah fabulous, fix it will you?" He grimaces, as I gently touch his top lip.
"Ok," I take my wand and mutter a few spells and his face turns back to normal. "Gorgeous" I smirk and he laughs.
"What is up with Ernie though?" Draco wonders and stares at the door Ernie had just stormed out of.
"Oh god, maybe it is the Vampire shit happening?" I gasp, suddenly understanding the boy's actions.
"Yeah... Well I better not make fun of you in front of any boys then!" Draco laughs and I stick my tongue out at him..
"Come on mush, let's get on with our work!"
"Mush!?"
Draco's POV
Hermione and I spend the whole morning working together on our Charms work and it is amazing. I wonder, if my feelings have got stronger towards Hermione since she has began to attract all male attention. We find out, while reading up on Baobhan Sith's, that those who are in love, are not attracted to Baobhan Sith's and if one already loves the Baobhan Sith, his love increases.
As we walk down to have lunch, I am still thinking of this. Do I glare at every guy who looks at Hermione? Well I did that before she became a Baobhan Sith!
"Shall we sit together?" Hermione asks.
"Sure, why?" I reply, happy that she wants me with her.
"Just in case, you know, some guy tries to touch me or something..." Hermione mumbles and I laugh.
"I got your back" I reply with a grin. I thump her back and she laughs at me. She has a beautiful laugh.
"Good," and as we walk into the Great Hall, it is as if every male in the room could smell something and turns in our direction. Hermione gulps beside me and grabs my hand. We walk to her table, eugh Gryffindorks, and we sit down next to eachother. Hermione sits next to a brunette Gryffindork and I take her other side, so she is not sat next to any other guy but me.
"Food" Hermione grins, and begins to pile some onto her plate.
Hermione's POV
As Draco and I leave the Great Hall, I feel the guys staring at me as if I am a piece of meat, like they have been doing all lunch time.
"They all look at you like you are a piece of meat" Draco voices what I have been thinking.
"Yeah, you're right there" When we get back to the Common Room Pansy and Blaise are there.
"Hey mate" Draco sits next to Blaise, who looks tired, with dark circles around his eyes, and also looks queasy. I sit next to Pansy and she looks exactly the same as Blaise.
Soon, Draco and Blaise start up a conversation and I begin to drift into my own little world.
I begin to remember what McGonagall said, that a Baobhan Sith attract males when they have fallen for their "mate". That means I have fallen for someone!
"But Herminius, do you wanna tell them? Herminius! Hermione!"
"Yeah..." I pull myself out of my thoughts and I look at Draco. "Whats up?" He rolls his eyes and chuckles.
"Do you want to tell them about your... Heritage?"
"Sorry guys, not at the moment, it's too much to deal with, but let's just say I'm fine, and I will tell you as soon as I can" I smile softly at Blaise and Pansy.
"Fine" Pansy pouts her bottom lip and I laugh.
"You're a tit do you know that?" I laugh and she throws a pillow at me.
"Really I thought that was you!" She grins and I throw the pillow back, forgetting my thoughts for a moment.
Pansy has been so open and loving to me, since we got back to Hogwarts. She is an only child and is totally a 'Daddy's girl'. Her dad was a Death Eater and she is so sad that he got the dementor's kiss. She still cries about it, but her mother and her spend their time shopping and having fun, but she is still sad.
"You're alright my mush?" I ask Draco and he grins.
"I still hate that you call me mush!" I laugh and me and Pansy run to our dormitory and laughing we go to bed.
"How are you holding up?"
"'Mione, with what? I'm hung over, sort of, the fact my dad's dead? My mum has no money? I need to get a job, but no! I'm stuck in school trying incredibly hard to pass these DAMN NEWT's and I can't seem to be able to pass anything!" Pansy exclaims throug tears to me. What a sudden change in her mood.
"Hunny" I pull her into a hug, and the tears roll down her cheek.
"I have been tested since my father died," she likes to call it that, she hates the idea of the dementors kiss, "I have bipolar disorder. They think it is because of my fathers death and a way of me having depression. But it is the stress of everything is getting to me. I need help." Oh, bless her.
"Babe, I will help you"
And I will.
