Hermione groaned and rolled over. God, her head hurt. She tried opening her eyes, and quickly shut them again. The bright lights were awful. They felt like knives piercing her already painful head.
When she finally did ease her eyes open, she was startled to find herself in an unfamiliar bed. When she rolled over again (with much agony) she was even more startled by the steely gray eyes staring back at her.
"What happened? Where am I?" she muttered, only half conscious.
"The hospital wing. You tripped over your big feet." The eyes drawled.
Hermione recognized that voice right away and it cured her grogginess immediately. "Draco Malfoy! This is all your fault, you do realize." She nearly shouted.
"How could I not?" He smirked.
"Why are you even here? To apologize?" she demanded, maliciously.
"Actually, yes."
"I don't even want to hear it. Get out." She spat.
Draco surprised, to say the least, at her outburst. "Although I do deserve it," He thought to himself. "Why did I even say that stuff?"
Reluctant, and even more upset, he left. "Oh, I brought you some of you homework." He murmured over his shoulder. "It's on the table over there" He pointed and left.
She laid back down, now concentrating on her pounding head. And how long had she been out for. God, what classes had she missed!? Luckily, just then Professor McGonagall walked in.
"Oh, I see you up." She stated. She walked over to the injured girl. "You're quite lucky Mr. Weasley and Mr. Potter found you when they did. You hit your head quite hard."
"How long have I been here?"
"Three days, almost exactly." Seeing Hermione's expression, she smiled. "Yes, you do have a large pile of work to catch up on, but I'm sure that won't be a problem for you."
Hermione was stunned. Three days. That's so many classes. What if she had missed something important?
"You seem to have quite a fan club." McGonagall added. "Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Mr. Malfoy have all been down to see you a few times, each day." She pointed over to a small pile of chocolates, cards, and flowers on the table where Draco had put her homework.
Again, Hermione was shocked. Why did he care so much all of a sudden?
Instead of voicing her concerns, she merely asked, "Where is Madam Pomfrey?"
"Well, it is extremely unlucky for you, but she is at home, visiting with her family. Her father passes away last week. She should be returning within the month. Until then, you'll have to heal the muggle way. No one else at Hogwarts is skilled enough to heal you."
