Chapter 10 revised
Hermione was the first to wake up; she squealed in pain and put her hand to her eye. She turned over and saw Draco was beside her; she slowly slipped out of bed and walked over to the nearest mirror. She slowly gasped as she looked at the mirror, she touched her eye. It was purple and blue mixed together. She quickly grabbed her wand and preformed a cover-up spell on herself. She looked in the mirror as it worked, she looked back at Draco who was just waking up, he walked over to Hermione and put his arms around her putting his head on her shoulder.
"Hey"
"Hey?" Hermione was confused
"How did you sleep?"
"I don't remember" Draco let go of Hermione and kissed her on the cheek
"Meet me downstairs in the common room" Hermione looked at the mirror once more before running downstairs and out the door. She ran back to the Gryffindor common room. When she got there Harry and Ron were JUST coming out of their dorms, Hermione ran over to Harry and hugged him. Harry was surprised but hugged her anyway
"Hey"
"I can't talk long; I have to back to the Slytherin common room. I just wanted to say HI and good luck for the quidditch match" Hermione leaned over and kissed Harry on the cheek and left the common room. She walked back to the Slytherin common room, and saw that Draco was waiting for her, he heard her come in.
"Where did you go?"
"I went the common room"
"Why?"
"Because it's MY common room, and YOU don't control me"
"How DARE you talk to me like that" Draco came up behind the couch and confronted Hermione, Hermione took a few steps back and looked at him
"Well it's like I said YOU DON'T CONTROL ME" Draco slapped Hermione across the face
"HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME THAT WAY" Hermione looked at Draco with tears rolling down her face, Draco looked at Hermione with a disgusted look on his face.
"There's a quidditch match this afternoon, are you attending?"
"Yeah"
"Good, I expect to see you there" Draco left the common room leaving Hermione in her tears. Hermione quickly regained herself before leaving the common room. She went to the Great Hall, she saw Harry raise his hand. Hermione walked over to Harry and sat down next to him
"Hey where were you?"
"I was with Malfoy"
"Is there something wrong?"
"No….There isn't" Hermione looked at plate and started to eat little by little.
Time Lapse
Harry and the rest of the quidditch team were under the stands getting ready for the first match of the season.
"Alright guys, we plan on winning do you understand me?" Everyone nodded, Harry put his hand in and everyone put their hand in too.
"Gryffindor on 3"
"1 2 3 GRYFFINDOR" Harry and his team came to the doors leading out to the quidditch field, they all mounted their brooms and the doors opened, letting all of the players coming out onto the field. They took their positions
"I want a good game from all of you, no bloody injures" Madam Hooch kicked open the box and let the bludgers come out, and the snitch come out. She picked up the quaffle and threw it in the air, both teams went for it, Gryffindor got it first.
Harry and Draco were waiting for a fleck of gold to appear, Draco came up to Harry and
"Ay Potter, let me tell you something"
"What?"
"You know Granger is a REALLY good kisser AND if I win this then we get to sleep together" Harry looked at Malfoy with a really angry look on his face, Harry saw a fleck of gold in the stands and Harry went for it. Malfoy followed him, Harry put all of his weight to the broom, and the snitch left the stands and went on to the field. Harry followed with Malfoy behind; Malfoy was far behind Harry, while Harry was getting closer to the snitch. Harry reached out for the snitch but it jerked left, causing Harry to stop and do a complete U-turn. Draco turned himself too and followed the snitch, Harry immediately caught up with him. He pushed him away and put all of his weight to his broom again. He reached out for the snitch once more, when all of a sudden a bludger came out of nowhere and hit Harry in the ribs. Harry groaned and fell off his broom and into unconsciousness. Everyone held their breath as they watched this, Hermione was leaving the Gryffindor stands to go onto the field. Harry's teammates all gather around Harry, Hermione was JUST arriving. Hermione squeezed through the crowd and fell onto her knees; she put Harry's head on her lap.
Madam Pomfrey arrived; she checked his state and conjured a stretcher. She placed him on the stretcher and levitated him away from the field. Hermione started to cry a bit more; she turned to Ron and hugged him. Ron hugged her reassuringly. Draco was watching her actions and he got VERY angry, landed on the grass and looked at Hermione with an evil glare at her. Hermione held on to Ron more tightly, she looked away from Draco and cried onto Ron's shoulder. After 10 minutes she calmed down and they decided to go see Harry at the infirmary. Once they finally arrived at the infirmary, Madam Pomfrey was taking notes on Harry. They all walked in and walked towards Harry bed, Madam Pomfrey greeted them
"Once again Mr. Potter is in the hospital wing, I should seriously make a spot for HIM, just for HIM" Madam Pomfrey put down her clipboard and walked back to her office, Ron picked it up and started reading it out loud.
"Let's see here: 5 fractured ribs, 3 broken ribs, 1 broken arm, and 1 collapsed lung" Ron threw down the clipboard and sighed, sinking into the chair. Hermione was leaning over Harry brushing his hair away from his face
"You like him too eh?" Hermione looked at Ron, she sniffed before she answered
"Yeah, I do. I just never thought that he would like me back or we would be weird around each other"
"You know, remember last year when you had that ridiculous boyfriend, Alex was it?"
"Yeah, I remember he accused me of cheating on him with Harry"
"Yup, only because you guys were together so much, and it also killed him to see you with those other guys, not because he likes you, because he knew that those guys weren't worthy of you"
"Then why didn't he ask me out?"
"I wonder that myself too, I think he said it was because he was scared that you might reject his feelings for you and he didn't want to creep you out"
"I wouldn't do that" Ron got up and walked towards the door, he looked out and saw that Malfoy was coming towards the muttering something to his self
"Um Hermione, your boyfriend is coming"
"WHAT? I have to hid" Hermione went to the nearest closet and hid there, Ron was confused of why she was doing this, he pushed that back and ran back to his seat looking at Harry.
"Weasley! Where is my girlfriend?"
"How am I supposed to know?"
"Well I'll tell you one thing, she's not in the common room AND she's not upstairs I had people go on and check so there's only one place she can be at"
"Which is?"
"HERE YOU BLOODY ASSHOLE, now where is she, I need to have a talk with her"
"Well I don't know why don't you go around and check it once more" Draco looked around the room before he left, he angrily sighed and walked out the door, Hermione came out of the closet shaking.
"Look I have to go; I'll talk to you later okay?"
"Alright bye" Hermione left the infirmary and made her way to the Slytherin common room, she sat down on the couch and looked at the fire, pretending that she was doing something. Draco came in and sighed heavily when he saw Hermione on the couch.
"Where were you?" Draco was looking directly at Hermione
"I was in the library then I came here" Draco started laughing, but then he stopped
"Do you think I'm daft? No, then good I checked every possible place where you could've been. You're not a very good liar I'll tell you that" Draco brought up his fist and punched her, Hermione screamed in pain and covered her covered up eye. Hermione was now crying, she stood up and faced Draco
"Look I'm sick of this relationship and IM ESPICALLY SICK OF YOU" Draco laughed a bit before he punched her once more, Hermione fell back onto the couch and then fell onto the floor. Draco laughed then he kicked her out of anger. Draco left her there and walked away from her. Pansy Parkington was watching the entire time, she got Hermione by her arms and dragged her out of the Slytherin common room, Pansy dragged Hermione all the way to the Gryffindor corridor. Her and Hermione started talking a bit, so they were okay with each other.
Ron was just coming back from the infirmary, Harry had woke up and they had started talking a little bit.
"Ron? Hermione?" Harry said groggily
"I'm here, but not Hermione. She was here earlier"
"Oh okay"
"Yeah, Draco came in and he was looking for her, and Hermione was hiding in the closet away from him"
"OH"
"So she had to leave"
"I'm worried about her"
"When are you NOT worried about her? You love her damn it"
"True, but I highly doubt she has any feelings for me" Ron smiled when he said that
"No joke? You swear?"
"Mmhmm" Harry had a huge grin plastered on his face, Ron smiled at his friend. He looked at the clock and figured that he should go.
"Don't worry about Hermione, she'll come around. I have to go or else Luna will think of things that ARENT true" Ron smiled and said good-bye before he left.
Ron was walking down the Gryffindor corridor when he saw a body lying on the floor, Ron walked closer to it and he gasped when he saw that it was Hermione, all bruised and bloody. He picked her up and walked back to the infirmary, Madam Pomfrey was checking out Harry to make sure that he was completely healed.
"Mr. Potter, I'm afraid that you aren't completely healed. When you feel I guess you hit the ground harder. So you're going to have to stay here a bit longer"
"Alright, I'm fine with that" Harry looked over when he heard the doors open, Ron came in with Hermione in his arms.
"Mr. Weasley bring her over here" Ron walked over to one of the empty cots next to Harry, Harry looked over at Hermione. Hermione's bruises were appearing on her face. Harry looked over at Ron
"I found her in the Gryffindor corridor, I was walking back from here and I saw her"
"Malfoy" Ron instantly agreed and looked back over to Hermione, Madam Pomfrey was checking over Hermione.
"Well Ms. Granger has multiple bruises AND cuts, I guess someone kicked her in the ribs and got her ribs kinda broken, but they're just fractured. She'll have to stay here while I heal her and until she wakes up" Harry laid his head on the bed and sighed heavily.
"Mr. Weasley I'm afraid that visiting hours are over"
"Alright, bye, I'll see you in the morning"
"Bye"
"Mr. Potter, do you want me to do anything for you before I leave to go to my office?"
"Yeah, could you bring Hermione's cot closer to mine?"
"Sure" Madam Pomfrey pulled out her wand and levitated Hermione's bed so it would be closer to Harry's
"No funny business, I've been here long enough to catch people doing some inappropriate things" Madam Pomfrey turned around and walked towards her office, Harry looked over to Hermione; he reached out his hand and gently touched her bruised cheek. Harry fell asleep facing Hermione.
That was a really long chapter. Damn
