"I'm fine," Ron stated giving Hermione a thumbs up. She rolled her eyes. She had found Ron standing outside the portrait hole with a bloody nose.

"Who did that then?"

"No one, a wall?"

"Does the wall have a name?" Hermione asked looking at Ron. He looked down at the floor. "Look, just tell me, who did this?"

"Draco. It's nothing, I'm fine," Ron said trying to push past Hermione to enter Gryffindor tower.

"You just got punched in the face by Draco Malfoy. I'm not sure how that qualifies as 'fine', Ron.

"It's just my nose, nothing important," he stated as Hermione shook her head and dragged him towards the infirmary.

"You've got a point there," Hermione replied. "But you still need to get your nose looked at it. It might be broken. Here, hold this against it while I get Madame Pomfrey," Hermione ordered handing Ron a hankerchief. He did as she ordered and sat down in one of the chairs.

Hermione returned a moment later with Madame Pomfrey.

"Mr. Weasley, what happened?"

"I got punched," Ron answered as Madame Pomfrey took the hankerchief and looked at his nose. "Is it broken?"

"No, it doesn't appear to be broken. Who were the fight with?"

"No, I wasn't fighting anyone," Ron lied. Hermione blinked staring at him in surprise.

"Then who punched you?" Madame Pomfrey asked. Ron shook his head.

"It was nothing, just a misunderstanding. Can I go now?" Ron asked.

"I'd like to look the rest of you over, Mr. Weasley. Despite the fact you said you weren't fighting anyone."

"Ron, please, just let her do her job?" Hermione whispered. Ron finally nodded and allowed Madame Pomfrey to examine him. Hermione waited outside the exam area, finally Ron emerged looking annoyed and embarrassed. Hermione fell into step next to him.

"Still fine?" she asked trying to keep the worry from her voice.

"Yes, I'm fine. I told you, I got punched, we weren't fighting, not really. I was hanging around the mistletoe, hoping to be kissed, and Draco was there, and... well... there was no one else, and mistletoe."

"He kissed you?"

"Yes, he kissed me," Ron stated throwing his hands into the air. "What was I supposed to do?"

"You kissed him back?"

"Of course I did! He's a much better kisser than Lavender."

"So why did he punch you in the face?"

"Because Pug-face showed up and then she tried to hit me for stealing Draco, I dodged. She hit the wall, so then she kicked me and lunged at Draco. I got in front of him, and Draco was trying to defend himself and my nose got in the way," Ron finally said. Hermione stared at him.

"So, does this mean you and Draco...?"

"Mum would lose it if she found out... so can you keep it secret?"

"I won't tell anyone, but Ron, be careful. Pansy's mean."

"Don't worry, I can take care of myself," Ron said with a smile. "Besides, kissing Draco again will be worth putting up with her nonsense," he added. Hermione shook her head and made a mental note to keep an eye on Ron, just in case he needed her help after all.
