Disclaimer: Do you really think I own this stuff? If I did I don't think I'd be sitting here in this house, worrying about the bills! Okay, so I don't worry about the bills- yet. I don't do the bills so.sorry- I don't own Harry Potter, okay?

A/n- Hey look! I don't need an a/n here! Wait, darn, this counts doesn't it? *sigh* oh well.

Previously on Love within Hate:

"I know you're sorry. Don't be. Not anymore. That's in the past," she smiled at him, "But, what I did was in the future. So, I'm sorry Ronald Weasley. I shouldn't have acted the way I did." ~ Then she hugged him. And he hugged her back, though weakly. "Apology accepted Hermione Granger," he whispered, still holding on to her.

~ "I think they're keeping me here to protect me. Not because there's something wrong with me." (Hermione)

~ It had been dark. Not black dark though. More of a red dark. A red so deep that it almost appears black. But in that deep red was the voice. This'll show those stupid mudbloods. it said.

~ But what other people didn't notice was the black mark on Draco's lower back. A snake slithering up a dagger.

~ "Ever since the thing in the Great Hall I can't seem to stop thinking about you." (Draco)

~ Draco pulled her on top of him, and kissed her hard.

Love within Hate

Chapter seven

Bad Voice, Bad!

"Good news, Miss Granger," Madam Pomfrey told Hermione with a smile.

Hermione sighed with relief. Thank God! She'd started thinking that she might be staying there for the rest of the year!

"I've missed so much work! Oh, and the library!" she exclaimed jumping out of bed.

"Yes, well.about the library," Madam Pomfrey started nervously.

"What about it?" Hermione asked sharply.

"You see. The professors and I agree that, maybe, you shouldn't be going back to the library. For now at least."

Hermione just stared at Pomfrey with her mouth agape. Not go to the library? Where else was there to go?

"But I hear you have your own library," she added quickly, "So you don't have to go to the public one anyway."

Oh yeah, Hermione thought. She'd forgotten all about that. So, upon remembering that, she dashed out of the infirmary.

She glanced at her watch. She'd have just enough time to get to Potions. Hermione was so anxious to get back to work that she didn't mind double Potions with Slytherin.

Hermione got into the classroom just as Snape entered the room from his office.

As soon as she stepped into the class the whole room went silent, then all at once the Slytherins burst out laughing. The Gryffindors stayed silent, yet most of them were suppressing giggles.

Hermione glanced around the room confused and embarrassed for some unknown reason.

Ron and Harry just stared at her. Ron's face was redder than his hair, right down to his ears, showing that he was either thinking thoughts he wanted no one to hear or he was embarrassed for her. Harry watched her, wondering if she knew where she was and what she looked like.

"Forget something, Granger?" Malfoy called to her over the roaring laughter.

"What are you talking about, Malfoy?" Hermione sneered at him.

"Like, um, maybe your clothes?" he snickered. She looked pretty hot in that hospital gown, he had to admit. Beside the fact that her hair slightly resembled how it did when they were kids.

Hermione looked down at herself and blushed furiously, but still stood in the middle of the room, frozen with embarrassmental fear. (a/n- wait.does that make sense? Is embarrassmental a word? Augh, whatever. I have a habit of making new words!)

Harry glanced at Professor Snape to see if maybe by some miracle he was going to stop this but he was at the front of the class laughing with the rest of the class. That was a pretty embarrassing sight. So Harry dashed over to her and took off his robes.

"Oooo, Potter's gonna join her, eh?" Malfoy smirked. "Gonna get it on right here, Potter? Can't you wait until after class?"

Harry glared at Malfoy, then put his robes on Hermione, trying to cover her up. She didn't deserve this humiliation. She just got out of the hospital for Merlin's sake!

"Come on Hermione," Harry whispered to her, putting his arm around her and guiding her to a seat next to Ron and him. She silently sat down and soon class started.

"Your reports are due today and I expect all of them on my desk before class is over. No exceptions," Snape told the class, directing the last bit towards Hermione.

Hermione smiled. He was expecting to get her this time. Little did he know that she had finished the report already. It was right in her backpa-

"Shit," Hermione whispered suddenly, smile fading. She hadn't had time to go get her bag! She was screwed.

Harry looked at her questioningly. Hermione just shook her head at him, but wrote him a note anyway.

Harry-

I did the report but it's in my bag. My bag is in my room. Can you distract the class while I get it?

Hermione-

Harry wrote back- What do I do?

Think of something! She mouthed to him. When he just stared at her she rolled her eyes and hoped he would just go along with what she was going to do.

She whispered an incantation under her breath and the note they had been passing (which lie in the middle of Harry and Neville's desk) blew up. It was nothing big but Harry caught on by falling to the floor screaming.

"Longbottom!" Snape roared. Hermione felt slightly guilty at getting Neville in trouble, but she needed her paper! "Potter get off the floor!"

When Hermione was sure Snape's attention was on Harry she whispered, "Accio bookbag," and waited for her bag. It flew in and to her desk without anyone noticing throughout the confusion.

Or so she thought.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Draco smirked as he watched a bag flew through the door and into the hands of Granger. She thought she was so slick. Hmm.to tell or not to tell.

"Professor?" Draco called out.

"Yes, Mr. Malfoy?" Snape answered almost pleasantly.

"While Potter was having his daily spas attack, Granger summoned her bag from her common room," Malfoy snitched.

Hermione glared at him. That- that- that *thing*!

Malfoy just smiled at her and leaned back in his chair. Oh, how she would have liked to hex him that moment!

"20 points from Gryffindor!" Snape yelled, "You may thank Miss Granger for that and five more points for your complaints!" More groans from the Gryffindors. "Shall I make it more?" Everyone shut up.

Malfoy smiled wider. Revenge was sweet. Sure it wasn't the revenge he so badly wanted, but it would hold him over for a little while.

~

When the bell rang Hermione dashed out of the classroom, not bothering to wait for Harry or Ron. All she wanted was to get away from there. She'd cost her house twenty-five points and she doubted they'd be happy.

Hermione turned the corner and stopped to catch her breath. Man, she was out of shape. When she looked up she saw Scott and was about to wave.

"Hey, mudblood," an all too familiar voice said behind her, stopping her in mid-wave.

She turned toward him, a lazy 'I don't care what you have to say, so leave me alone' expression on her face. "Leave me alone, Malfoy," she told him and started walking again.

"Uh, uh," he put his hand against the wall, blocking her way. "Don't you want more of last night?" he teased.

"I'm mad at you," Hermione told him childishly.

"Well, it's good to get that out in the open," Draco said sarcastically. "you know."

Draco's voice faded as a stronger voice invaded her mind, Kiss him. It told her.

Before she could protest, she found herself pinned against the wall with Malfoy's tongue practically down her throat in the middle of a semi- crowed hallway.

"Well," Malfoy started when they separated, "That's something I definitely didn't expect." Then paused a second, thinking, "Wait. I thought you were mad at me."

"I am," Hermione told him.

Out of the corner of her eyes she saw a bright red head dash around the corner. She gasped. It was a Weasley no doubt. Most likely her best friend, too. Ron.

Without warning she pushed past Draco and ran after Ron. No, no, no! This cannot be happening! she thought desperately.
