Hermione landed suddenly, but luckily on the couch, eyes shut, barely breathing. Malfoy, almost the same, tried to get to her. He struggled to pull himself to her. She lay there so helpless, on the verge of death. In her mind she felt like the fires of hell had swallowed her up. Malfoy pulled himself up to her so he could see her face, she lay so still. He brushed her face with his fingers and leaned in kissing her softly on the lips. There was a flash of red light and just like sleeping beauty, Hermione woke to find her Prince Charming, Malfoy, clasping her hand, a look of pure terror on his face. She felt uncontrollably warm to him and squeezed his hand. He smiled down at her and placed his free hand on her face. With the tips of his fingers he traced the contours of her cheeks.

Hermione felt so strange. One minute she was trying to stop him loving her because it was a lie, he was under that spell, but now she didn't want him to stop loving her, for unexplainable feelings had enveloped her.

Malfoy scooped her up in his arms and held her close to him. She put her arms around his neck and he carried her back upstairs to her bed. Whispering words of love and romance in her ear, he soothed her slowly to sleep, then lay his head on the covers planting soft kisses on the nape of her neck, before they both drifted off, into a deep, exhausted sleep.

Hermione awoke to the sound of yelling. Slowly she turned her head to see Ron and Harry, red faced and angry, gripping Malfoy by the robes carrying him across to the door.
"Dont you dare do that to Hermione ever! You stay away from her you hear!" Ron was yelling, his red face matching the hue of his hair.
"Ron, Harry" she called groggily, but they didn't hear her. Malfoy looked at her as they carried him from the room, but all Hermione could do was look on helpless. She found that her whole body was aching terrib;y and slowly she recalled the nights events, just as Harry and Ron returned.

"Draco!" she called, a sort of delayed reaction.
"Shhh Hermione, it's ok now, he's gone, did he hurt you?"
She struggled to sit up.
*No* she thought to herself, *I need him here*
Both Harry and Ron were looking at her worriedly so she said, 'I'm ok, last night...a spell...it hit me full force-"
"That Malfoy cursed her! I knew he had it in for her, defeat or no defear he still has evil blood in him and he's just proved it to all of us. Oh Hermione, my poor Hermione" Ron said, angry shock taking over him.
"No! Ron...no...he saved my life!" HErmione said in a barely audible whisper. She didnt really want to tell them about the 'Lovordius Klingtalious' spell that Malfoy had been under.

She made a note to look it up in the library later.

"Saved your life from what?" Harry never missed a thing.

Hermione had to think hard to cover for her actions last night. "I..er...had an asthma attack and if Malfoy hadn't been there to get my inhaler for me, I would have passed out! He stayed with me because he was worried that I may of had another one..."

Ron seemed to take that answer rather well, but Harry didn't look convinced, but with a pleading look from Hermione the look vanished from his face and was replaced by an amused grin.
"We seem to have jumped to a rather large conclusion Ron, we should apologise to Malfoy when we see him next."
"Right"

Hermione struggled out of bed and fished around in her luggage for something to wear. Then she made her way down to the bathroom to have a shower before breakfast.
