Chapter 11 revised
Harry woke up and looked over to Hermione who was still resting; Harry smiled and began to stretch, Harry expected pain, but he didn't get any. He guessed that he was all healed, he looked at the clock it was 7:30. Madam Pomfrey came out of her office with a clipboard in her hand. She looked up and saw Harry wide awake.
"Good morning Mr. Potter"
"Morning" Madam Pomfrey walked over to Harry and checked him
"Alright Mr. Potter you're good to go. I hope not to see you so soon"
"Okay" Harry looked back at Hermione and then Madam Pomfrey
"Don't worry about Ms. Granger; she'll be in good hands. I'm pretty sure that she'll be up and about soon enough. I'll be healing her today, so nothing to worry about"
"Okay, thanks" Harry got out of the cot and started to head for the doors, he opened the doors and walked to the common room. Harry entered the common room and saw that nobody was there, Harry laughed to himself. He went to his dorms and hopped into the shower taking a nice long shower, Harry came out feeling all refreshed and clean. When he walked into the bedrooms, everyone was just waking up. He could hear the groaning and he could see them getting out of bed. Harry walked over to his bed and changed into his uniform.
Harry walked back downstairs and walked to the infirmary, Hermione was just waking up as Harry walked in. Madam Pomfrey was taking notes on Hermione, Hermione saw Harry come in and a smile was put on her face, Harry smiled back at her. He walked over to her cot and looked at her with a worried look on his face.
"What's wrong Harry?"
"You're in the infirmary that's what's wrong"
"Oh"
"Do you remember what happened last night?"
"Um..I rather not talk about it"
"Hermione" Harry said with a serious face "You have tell me"
"Why?"
"Because you shouldn't be in here, you should be getting ready for class"
"True, but like I said I rather not talk about it" Madam Pomfrey quietly left them; she opened the door to her office and closed it.
"Alright Hermione what happened last night?"
"Do you really want to know? It's a bit depressing"
"Of course Hermione, I care about you"
"Well I was in here with Ron and we were talking and Draco came in looking for me, he was yelling out my name. So I left the infirmary and went back into the Slytherin common room. Then Draco came in later after me, then we started to argue and I was like I'm sick of this relationship and I'm sick of YOU. Then he slapped me or was it punched me. But then everything went black. So that's all I know" Harry looked at Hermione like he was going to kill her
"Hermione, how long has he been doing this?"
"Ever since this week, so Monday"
"AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ANYONE NOT EVEN GINNY!?"
"Harry it doesn't matter okay. Like I said I'm sick of him." Just then Draco came in the infirmary, he saw Hermione lying in bed and he immediately walked over to her, but Harry stepped in front of Malfoy
"You
have a lot of nerve coming in here"
"Thanks I try" Draco
stepped to the side and walked to Hermione's cot
"Oh I'm sorry; it's just that you got me all mad. When you didn't come to me" Hermione looked away from Draco
"Look at me; I'm not going to yell when one of your friends are here" Harry watched Draco very carefully as he spoke to Hermione.
"No, Draco we'll talk later. Much later" Draco sighed angrily and started to make his way to the door.
"I'm going to kill him, I swear on Merlin. Oh shit I gotta go, bye Hermione" Hermione watched Harry as he left; Madam Pomfrey came out of the office with the clipboard still in her hand.
"Alright Ms. Granger, I'm going to heal you today"
"Alright"
Harry met up with Ron and Luna, and walked with them to breakfast. Harry watched the couple feed themselves; he didn't want to look at them anymore. Harry scanned the room for Malfoy; he wanted to have a little "talk" with him. Breakfast over; Madam Pomfrey had quickly healed Hermione so she was able to leave the infirmary. Madam Pomfrey was able to cover up ALL of her bruises, Hermione was walking towards breakfast, but she stopped when she saw people leaving the Great Hall. She sighed and continued to walk down; she met up with Harry, Ron, and Luna. She gave them hugs and smiled at them
"Come on guys we got class"
"Yeah, Snape something I want to see first thing in the morning" Harry laughed at that and continued walking with them down to the dungeons, they took their usual seats, but this time Harry and Ron sat behind them so they could keep a good watch on them. Draco didn't try anything on Hermione, Hermione felt very happy about that, she kept quiet and paid attention to Professor Snape.
END OF POTIONS
Harry and Ron headed for the door and waited for Hermione to come out, Hermione gathered all of her stuff and stuffed it into her bag, she walked over to Harry and Ron completely ignoring Draco, Draco got very angry. They walked together, they went their separate ways.
Time Lapse
Harry, Ron, and Hermione all arrived at Dinner, they sat down and began filling up their plate. Harry was thinking about how he would corner Malfoy all through Dinner. Once they were done eating, Ron, Hermione, and Luna left the Great Hall, Harry stayed back because he wanted a word with Draco. As soon as Draco got up Harry got up too. Draco left the Great Hall with Harry behind him
"OY MALFOY"
"What do you want Potter?" Harry walked closer to Draco
"Oh nothing, BUT this" Harry brought back his fist and punched Draco in the face, Draco staggered backwards. He put his hand to his face to check for blood, Draco growled and charged at Harry, Harry was able to miss most of the attacks, but he got one that was really bad. Draco had punched him where his glasses were, Harry's glasses broke around his eye, but not IN his eye. Draco got a few cuts on his hand. Harry snarled and came at Draco; Harry threw punches all over him. Draco looked at Harry all out of breath; Harry looked at Draco with anger in his eyes. Harry punched Malfoy one last time; Draco fell back onto the floor admitting defeat.
Professor McGonagall was coming out of the Great Hall, but she stopped when she saw bloody people.
"Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy my office NOW" Draco got up and followed Prof. McGonagall, they arrived in her office.
"SIT" They could tell that she wasn't exactly the happiest person at the moment
"Now let's get down to business, WHO started this fight?"
"I did Professor" Harry admitted it
"Mr. Potter because of YOUR actions you've forced me to take off 10 points from Gryffindor and because of YOUR actions, Mr. Malfoy, 5 points from Slytherin. And you will have detention for 1 week, Mr. Malfoy you have it for 2 days"
"What that's not fair"
"Do you want 2 weeks?"
"No, I don't Professor"
"Now, we'll go to the infirmary so Madam Pomfrey can patch you guys up" Harry and Draco stood up and followed Professor McGonagall, they arrived at the infirmary. Madam Pomfrey patched them up; Professor McGonagall walked with them to the door and made sure that they went their separate ways. Harry walked back to the Gryffindor common room; Hermione fell asleep on the couch. Harry walked over to her and kneeled in front of her. He gently shook her shoulder and watched her wake up; she opened her eyes and looked smiled as she saw Harry.
"Harry?"
"Yeah"
"Where were you?" Hermione opened her eyes a bit more and stretched on the couch, and looked at Harry
"I was…I was in Professor McGonagall office with Malfoy"
"Harry you didn't tell her did you?"
"Of course not, I punched Malfoy and we started to fight each other" Hermione looked at Harry
"Harry you're so daft" Hermione groaned and put her face into the pillow.
"Sorry, I don't mean to be"
"Its okay" They had a moment of silence, Hermione broke the silence
"Harry…I don't really know how to say this, but you know how I was sleeping on the couch well I had a dream that you said I love you" Harry started to blush, Hermione noticed this, but didn't say anything
"Well…why were you dreaming that?"
"I don't know, it just came to me"
"Well…Hermione I've always wanted to tell you this, but I was afraid that you would reject my feelings and thoughts about this"
"Well just say it"
"I love you; I've loved you since the end of fifth year. But I started to like you since 3rd year" Harry blurted out, Harry looked at Hermione, Hermione was speechless I do love Harry, then why wont you say it, I'm trying Hermione looked at Harry
"I love you too" Harry looked at Hermione and smiled, he hugged Hermione
"That's the best news I've heard all year" Hermione smiled and hugged Harry back, they pulled apart and looked at each other. Harry leaned in to kiss Hermione; Hermione was surprised at first, but then let him come in. They kissed for about 1 full minute they broke apart. They both felt a shock of electricity go through them when they kissed.
"Did you feel something?" Harry asked hopefully
"Yeah, I actually did" Harry smiled and kissed her again.
The next day
Hermione was walking in a corridor by herself, when Malfoy appeared out of a corner.
"Well, Well, Well look who it is" Hermione stopped in her steps, she slowly turned around. Draco came up closer to her; he pushed her up against the wall.
"It's my girlfriend, DID you miss me?"
"Of course NOT" Hermione spat out, she tried to get out of his grip, but he was too strong. Draco slammed her against the wall again; this caused Hermione to scream out in pain
"How did THAT feel?" Hermione kneed Draco where it hurts, Draco let go of her and put his hands there
"How DID THAT feel?" Hermione looked at him before she fled the corridor and ran straight for the common room. Hermione sighed heavily and sat down on the couch; she looked when she heard the door open and saw Harry step in.
"Oh my Merlin, its so nice to see a beautiful face" Hermione giggled and blush, she walked over to Harry and gave him a peck on the lips
"Anything happen today?" Harry asked
"Malfoy, I was walking back here and Malfoy stepped in. He pushed me against the wall really hard 2 times, but I got him back. I hit him RIGHT where it hurts" Harry started to laugh as he pictured Malfoy holding himself and groaning in pain. Harry brought his arms around Hermione and walked her over to the couch where they fell down on top of one another. Hermione started laughing, Harry started to laugh too.
"So how was Professor Snape's detention?"
"HORRIBLE" Hermione laughed when he said this
"Well.
What did he make you do this time?"
"Nothing, he just kept on
leaving and entering the room, randomly"
"Ha-ha that's always fun to watch"
"Sure" Harry started laughing; he looked at Hermione with a smile on his face
"How did I get you?"
"Simple, cause you love me"
"I do no lie" Hermione giggled and laughed into Harry's shoulder.
Meanwhile
Lucius Malfoy was walking down the hallway; he knocked on the door and entered the room when he got permission, He slightly bowed in front of his master, his master nodded.
"Mt lord, my son tells me that he's been going out with that mudblood and that he's been abusing her. AND he's noticed how Potter has been very heartbroken, but lately he's been noticing that Potter has been a bit happier lately"
"Hmm well your son asked out the Mudblood correct? And he's already abused her correct? Hmm that must mean that the Mudblood is having an affair with Potter" The older Malfoy thought about that for a minute before answering
"Do you want me to inform my son?"
"No, I don't. I figure that the Mudblood will break up with your son, so it won't really matter. Now leave" Lucius nodded and bowed slightly before exiting the room.
