Harry stepped forward, his wand raised. Hermione drew back a step towards the door. "Harry! What's wrong with you??" she screamed as his bright green eyes narrowed to dark slits. He stopped and twirled his wand, his eyes still narrowed. "You know perfectly well what's wrong." He said slowly. Letting her catch the evil dripping from his words, and waiting for it to sink in. Hermione looked into his narrowed eyes. Mustering all of her strength, she stared. "Truth be told, Parkinson never loved Malfoy," he started to walk in a slow circle around her, his eyes barring down on her back. She took in a sharp breath as he came around her other side, still having a torturous look on his face. "Your just to damn gullible." At that second, his wand came slashing down, a whoosh of wind following it. A blast of dark yellow light came from the wand and formed thick, snake like cords around her legs, waist, arms, and mouth. She tried to scream, but couldn't get the strength she needed. Harry laughed again, his voice cold, and went to the other end of the room to peer out the window.
Draco ran along the corridor, in Hermione's tracks. He could hear her footsteps about 30 feet away, but his eyes were narrowed and he was having a hell of a time trying to keep his invisibility cloak from falling off. He heard a door click shut ahead of him and rounded the corner into the astronomy tower. "Dear god what's wrong with her!" He sprinted to the door but hesitated before opening it. It was a good 5 minutes that he stood there, looking at the handle, before he heard a faint popping noise thirty feet up. Snapping out of his confused terror, he slammed the door open and charged up the stairs.
Harry sulked at the other end of the room for a minute after he watched the sky. The midnight blue had a streak of red in it, and thick clouds hid the stars. Hermione closed her eyes, terrified of what he might do to her. She heard a clank and waited for a blow. Peeking out through the slits of her eyes, she saw him looking through a book. His face twisted into an evil smile, and Hermione trembled as he turned to her, his wand raised. He muttered a spell, one that Hermione's ears blocked out, but she heard the bang. It shook the walls, and if she wasn't suddenly absorbed in pain, she would have known that wind was rushing around her. She clenched her eyes closed and tried to scream. Throbbing pains looped through and around her head, clenching and pulling, while stabbing pains, much like those of the knife that she had befriended during the summer, grabbed at her arms and legs. The ropes tightened over her arms and legs turning her skin redder than it was. Harry laughed.
Draco half tripped, half ran up the stairs. He heard a whoosh and air came blasting out at him through the closed door. He heard laughing, and a strained scream. He saw yellow lights peeking out from under the door and waited for a blow. Shaking his head, he ran faster and ripped the door open. "Expelliarmus! Petrificus Totalus!" Draco bellowed, aiming his wand at a laughing Harry. Harry's wand came whizzing to Draco, and Harry froze before falling back to the floor. He made strained attempts to talk as Draco hurried over to Hermione and undid her ropes. She was sobbing in pain and sorrow. She had red marks all around her. Draco turned to Harry, furious, and muttered another spell at him, to make Harry follow them while they walked. He ran back to Hermione and hugged her sobbing body to him as he strained to help her to her feet. Hermione cried out and fell limply back to the floor, crying even harder. He picked her up, and headed to the door, Harry floating stiffly behind him. He flung the door open, and ran down the steps. He took a right, a left, two staircases down and another left. He lost track of where he was going.
Draco pounded on the hospital wing door, and screamed for help. A grumpy looking Madam Pomfrey came to the door, curlers in her hair and nightgown hidden under a thick white robe. "Mr. Malfoy!! Your PRANK will give you a week's worth of- MY GOODNESS! Bring her inside dear. Hurry now!" She opened the door wider and waited for all three of them to come in. She summoned Dumbledor at the fireplace, with the help of some fluu powder, and then went to tend to Hermione. Dumbledor arrived, hot chocolate in hand, and went immediately to Draco. He started explaining what he had seen. "But professor, I didn't see it all! I only saw when I came inside! I was following Hermione, see, because I heard he rush out of the dorm and wanted to see what was going on that made her have to leave so quickly. Dumbledor nodded. "Well my boy, we will just have to wait until Miss Granger is ready to tell us what happened. From the looks of it, it might not be for a while. Please calm down. Mr. Potter," he paused and turned to a very sick, rather evil looking potter. "You will be suspended from this school for attacking another student. You will spend the night in…" he thought for a second. "An empty classroom. I will clear it and get you a bunk. Thank you, Draco." He stood and left with Harry floating behind him now. Draco sighed, and went to sit next to a sleeping Hermione. Every few seconds another tear would come down her cheek. He took her hand. It was unusually warm. "I love you, Mione." He whispered, kissing her cheek. He set his head down on the edge of her bed, and went to sleep.
