Just then Ginny ran in with her magical video camera (that she had received from Harry for her birthday)

"HERMIONE, HERMIONE!" yelled Ginny excitedly, waking up everyone in the hospital wing… Madam Pomfrey ran out…

"What the hell! I thought she was mad at me!" thought Hermione "I am sooo confused!"

"What in the world happened here?" screamed Madam Pomfrey in outrage.

"I just brought Hermione a little gift," said Ginny, embarrassed.

"Well, then give her the gift and then GET OUT!" said Madam Pomfrey, still outraged "This is a HOSPITAL WING for god sake!"

" Sorry Madam Pomfrey… can I stay for 5 minutes if I promise to be quiet?" said Ginny putting her puppy-dog eyes.

"Oh, very well! You can stay… but BE QUIET" said Madam Pomfrey, not being able to say no.

"Thank you!" Said Ginny smiling happily.

Hermione gave her a look that said "what are you doing here?"

" Umm… yeah, about before … I'm not really mad…actually I'm really happy you did that … I was trying to find a way to tell Ron… thanks" said Ginny, blushing a bit.

" Ginny! I thought I had lost you as a friend FOREVER! I don't know how I would have survived!" said Hermione very relieved.

"Well I did the dare… I had Transfiguration first thing" said Ginny. Ginny showed Hermione the tape, it was quite funny. The taped showed the starting of Transfiguration, which looked pretty normal… then Ginny put a spell on herself to make herself cry.

It caused quite the riot, everyone was asking Ginny what was wrong, and Ginny had no answer, everyone looked very confused. After professor McGonagall finally noticed that Ginny was crying and asked her what was wrong, Ginny couldn't help it any more, she burst out laughing. Ginny got 5 points taken away from Gryffindor for disrupting class.

" Well that was slightly entertaining," said Hermione tiredly, " you should probably get to your next class, you don't want to miss anything on your first day!" exclaimed Hermione in a slightly bossy tone.

" Yes, mum" said Ginny, rolling her eyes " and you should probably get some sleep!"

Ginny left to go to her next class. Hermione went to go to sleep, when suddenly Malfoy turned to face her…and made a grab for the camera. He missed and ended up falling off of his bed. Hermione giggled slightly at the sight in front of her…

" Oh, shut up!" said Malfoy through gritted teeth " if you hadn't noticed, I'm hurt! Could you please help me?"

" Asking help from a mudblood?" asked Hermione, raising an eyebrow. " What would your father think of you?"

" I don't give a fuck what my father would say!" exclaimed Draco angrily.

" WOW touchy subject… note to self NEVER bring up his father EVER again," thought Hermione

Hermione reached out a hand to help him. He gave her a dirty look, but took it anyway. She pulled him up, and just as he was almost all the way up his hand slipped, and he ended up sprawled on the floor again. Hermione stifled a giggle, and reached out her hand to help him again.

" OW! You did that on purpose!" said Draco, pouting.

" No! I swear I didn't!" said Hermione defensively. "I'm sorry, your hand slipped."

"OMFG! Did I just apologize to MALFOY? OMG, we were carrying on a conversation!" thought Hermione, stunned "he is being tolarable!"

"Fine… but if you drop me again… I will… ummm… well… I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL DO… BUT IT WON'T BE NICE!"

He grabbed her hand, and she pulled him up this time successfully. He got back into his bed, and lay down. Hermione did the same.

" Why are you so different this year?" asked Hermione, confused. "I mean you haven't called me mudblood once, you were listening to a muggle band on a muggle CD player… last year you would have never done that"

" Ummm... well, can you keep a secret?" asked Draco, cautiously.

" Yes…" said Hermione now even more confused.

" Promise me you won't tell anyone" Draco said seriously.

" I promise." Said Hermione crossing her heart.

" Ok, well I've never really had a problem with muggles" Draco confessed, getting tears in his eyes, "I once had a friend who was a muggle when I was younger, his name was James…"

He told her his and James' story. He cried a bit. When he had finished Hermione had tears in her eyes also. She comforted him.

" And that's why I have been so mean to you and other muggles and muggleborns. But now that my father is dead I am free to act however I want."

"I never knew… I … I always thought you just liked being an egoistic jerk…" said Hermione sympathetically "I'm so sorry."

" No I'm sorry for treating you so badly all these years" said Draco, hanging his head.

"Its ok… It wasn't your fault…" I think we should try to sleep… we have the rest of the day off so…"

" Yeah... ok..." said Draco.
