Hermione sighed, she was sitting next to Harry and they were attempting to do Snape's homework. He had assigned tons of bookwork; they felt like they were copying the whole book.
"I don't think we are going to ever get this done!" Harry exclaimed.
"Yeah, talk about bad luck for Ron, he'll probably have to make all this up."
"Yea, hey, did you hear anymore about Ron?"
"Nope, did you?"
"Nada, I was hoping you did, I can't believe Draco and Lavender are still gone!" Harry said.
"Yea, it's been like 3 days since that happened…" Hermione said then realized it was Wednesday! Friday she would be going to the Fall Festival with Harry! She hoped that it wasn't cancelled due to the strange activity.
"Hey, did you get 'x' for number 86?"
"No, I got 'm'… its on page 456"
"Okay thanks!" Harry smiled. Boy did Hermione love that smile.

The next day Hermione and Harry walked to the Hospital Wing to go check on Ron. On their way Harry slipped his hand through hers. She glanced at him and he smiled, she smiled back, and they continued on their way to see Ron.
Madame Pomfrey miraculously let them go in and see him and to their great astonishment, he was awake!
"Ron!" Hermione said flinging her arms around him, "We were so worried!"
"Err… Herm I can't breathe!" Ron gasped.
"Sorry" Hermione grinned shamefully.
"Have you talked to Dumbledore?" Harry asked.
"Yea, he came by earlier when I first woke up."
"And…" Hermione pressed him on.
"I told him everything I remember, I don't remember much, cause I was knocked out." He started.
"Who…?" Harry asked.
"Lavender… and Draco…"
"Lavender and Draco?!?!" Hermione squealed.
"Yes, and quiet down you are giving me a headache."
"They were working together?"
"Yea, strange… I think I heard something about you in the conversation and their parents or something, not sure… I was half out then, the goons knocked me out before they brought me to wherever it was."
"So… how did you get out?"
"They were arguing about what to ask me or something, rather stupid plan if you ask me. I mean not to know what to do with the person you capture… then I snuck out, and someone must of brought me here."
"That's when we came in…" Hermione said, "We found you out by the 3rd floor right corridor where fluffy used to be."
"Oh,"
"So do you know where Draco and her went?" Harry asked.
"No, I think Draco put her under the Imperious Curse… she would act like that on her own would she?" He glanced nervously at Hermione and Harry. While they gave each other a disbelieving look.
"Well… I dunno" Harry said.
"Hey, I feel sorry for you Ron, I mean, you are going to have TONS of work to do when you get out of bed!" Hermione said changing the topic.
"Seriously, Snape assigned us a whole book basically to do, we had to answer like 200 questions!" Harry added.
"Hey, Herm…" Ron began.
"No Ron, you know I don't allow you to copy!" Hermione laughed.
"OUT! Mister Weasley needs his rest!" Madame Pomfrey said bursting through her office doors.

"But Father…" Malfoy complained.
"No buts Draco, you know very well what you and Ms Brown need to do."
"We can't just go back to Hogwarts Mr. Malfoy, Dumbledore will think it suspicious!"
"Lavender, I would treat your going to be father in law with more respect!" Mr. Brown said evenly.
"Sorry Daddy," Lavender replied, she hated calling him that, but he enforced her to long ago, "but we really can't just go back, with out looking somewhat suspicious…"
"You should've thought of that before you and Draco carelessly let Ron go,"
"Daddy, you must understand that it was Crabbe and Goyle who were suppose to be watching them!"
"Lavender, you shouldn't blame other people for your mistakes, especially since the surnames Crabbe and Goyle are also highly praised as well."
"Yes Daddy."
"Father, do you think you could write us a note telling Dumbledore that we had to see you, we wouldn't want to get suspicion aroused."
"All right, this is only because too much suspicion is bad for us." He reminded Draco.
"Yes Father."

Hermione was sitting on the couch flipping through pictures of all of them during third year. She missed it back then, they all seemed closer then, ever since Ron started liking all these other girls, he seemed not to spend much time with Harry and her. And Harry's little fling with Cho during the first of 5th year, then he moved right to Lavender, Hermione hated last year, she was dating nobody because of her stupid crush on Harry. But now she is glad she is actually going to be going to the Fall Festival with him!
Harry came and plopped down next to her so he could see also.
"What are you looking at?"
"Old pictures of us."
"Cool, I want a look."
So together they sat next to each other recalling old times. When it was getting late, and they needed to head to bed, Hermione stopped Harry from getting up by pulling him back down.
"Harry?"
"Yea Herm?"
"Thank You"
"For?" Harry asked puzzled.
"For just being you."
Harry smiled and lend down and kissed her lightly on the cheek and went upstairs. Hermione held a hand to her cheek for a moment before heading up to her dorm.
'He kissed me!! Wait, it was only on the cheek, that means nothing but friends, right?' Hermione sighed deeply but still smiled and slept easier that night.
