Chapter 4 - Deadly Potions
Disclaimer - well u all know I don't own this anyway! I only own the new characters.
Draco was starting to get suspicious. After debating what to do in his mind for an hour he finally decided to go and see if Hermione was ok. He barged into her common room just as she cast the sleeping spell. "Snoozerous!" She cried, in a self satisfied voice, she heard a thump and turned around to see Draco barge through the door, then slowly drop to his knees, his eyes, looked at her pleadingly, until he fell over into a deep sleep.
Hermione could hear lots of people falling over as they too fell asleep. She casted wingardium leviosa and levitated them to their beds. With that done she went and grabbed her potions stuff and sat down in the middle of the common room.
She opened the book to the right page then slowly started to make the potion. 'Add 2 drops of pixie blood and a pinch of worst root' she thought, 'but do I really want to die? Is it the only option? Yes it is, I have to die'.
As the potion simmered Hermione continued having conflicting thoughts about weather or not she really should kill herself. She remembered her first year at Hogwarts, it had been wonderful. It was when she had first met Ron and Harry, and they had such great adventures and became best friends. And throughout the years their friendship had blossomed. Hermione missed those years, it all seemed to be slipping away from her.
Hermione stood up and started pacing around the common room. "I have to make a decision here and now" she whispered weakly. She walked up the stairs and into Harry and Ron's dormitory, and looked down at their sleeping figures. "Why are you ignoring me?" she cried, "I just can't take this anymore, everyone ignores me!". Hermione lent down and gave Harry a soft peck on the lips "I loved you, but I guess the feeling isn't mutual" she sighed , as she got up. She walked over to Draco's bed. "I wonder what you wanted when you barged into my room like that, you almost caught me, seems like you are the only one who takes any notice of me now-a-days" she whispered gently. She walked out the door and down to the common room. The potion was ready.
"You are the only one who takes any notice of me.." Draco heard those words swirling around in his head, in his dream. "You are the only one who takes any notice of me now-a-days." Draco, still ¾'s asleep could feel an urgent need to get to the common room. Slowly he remembered, barging into Hermione's dormitory, then falling. "GET UP!" his head was screaming to him. Draco jumped out of bed, then ran to the common room. "Please may I not be too late" He pleaded.
Hermione gingerly poured some of the potion into a vial. The only way for the potion to truly kill her was to dink it then eat a mandrake root. "here goes.everything" she whispered and took a sip of the potion. Surprisingly, it tasted quite good. Hermione gulped it down, then grabbed the mandrake root.
"ALLO HAMORA!" Screamed Draco. The root flew out of Hermione's hand just as she was about to take a bite. Hermione stared at Draco with large panic stricken eye. 'Oh no, what do I do now?' thought Hermione ' some one really does care?' But before either of them could say anything, the potion started to take affect, and Hermione fell to the ground, unconscious. Draco ran to her and hugged her tightly. "It will be ok" He soothed. Then picked her up, and ran to the infirmary.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione awoke to a blue bird singing outside, she kept her eyes closed, then smiled and yawned. She snuggled down further into her bed. She heard a clanging. 'That can't be Lavender or Katie' thought Hermione, she slowly opened her eyes only to see she was sitting in the infirmary. Slowly the events of the previous night dawned on her. She looked to the side of her bed, and saw Draco sitting asleep in a chair. "That's odd" she mused "in all my previous times here it was always Harry and Ron sitting there."
Thinking of them, she felt the familiar pain in her heart, she whimpered slightly, then started to sob quietly, she turned and buried her face in the pillow. The curtains around the bed screening her from the view of other nosy people in the infirmary.
Draco opened his eyes, and stared out the window. He was glad he had saved Hermione from hurting. or even worse, killing herself. But he was furious with Harry and Ron. "Bloody oblivious prats" he muttered. Hearing that, Hermione sobbed louder. Draco looked down on her to realize she was finally awake. and crying her eyes out.
Draco didn't know what to say, he grabbed a nearby tissue box and handed it to Hermione. Hermione turn over and look up at Draco. He could see the pain in her eyes. She sighed, "Why are you here?". Draco look about nervously.. 'Why AM I here?' he thought. "I wanted to make sure you were ok." he said lamely. "Oh" replied Hermione, "Where is Harry and Ron?" "They are in class" "Oh" said Hermione, new tears brimming in her eyes. She turned over and stared at the wall. Draco glanced at Hermione, 'Poor girl' he thought, 'I feel sorry for her having friends like Harry and Ron, they are pathetic'.
*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*
"Did you hear that rumors that Hermione tried to kill herself last night and Draco saved her?" Ron questioned Harry during Care Of Magical Creatures. "I heard that she accidentally stuffed up the spell, and fainted, and that Draco found her and took her to the infirmary." Replied Harry. " Aren't you two worried about her!?" Cried Katie. "Honestly she disappears last night, and Draco has too, and all you two can do is discuss rumors!"
Ginny ran towards the class panting. "What is it? Wa's wrong?" Asked Hargid worriedly. "Its Hermione, * gasp * She is in the infirmary * gasp * And that is why she is not * gasp * In class, she sends her apologies and will catch up on all her work next lesson." "Thank you Ginny" Hagrid called after her as she ran back towards the castle.
"Well that proves it," exclaimed Katie as she turned back towards Ron and Harry "As soon as class finishes we have to go visit Hermione! Poor thing, she probably feels neglected! And you two aren't helping one bit!".
