Harry woke up listening to two voices bicker.
"Why would you ask him then? He was in pain, and you shocked him to death!"
It was a guy's voice, so Harry guessed it was Ron.
"OKAY! I'm was wrong and I'm sorry. No stop yelling or he'll wake up, Ron!"
"Don't tell me you're sorry! I didn't make him pass out! You have to tell him!" Ron
screamed.
"Shhhh! I know, I know! I'll tell him when he wakes up! That is if he isn't allready
awake, thanks to your big mouth!" Hermione whispered. Harry could tell she was trying as
hard as she could to not scream to. Harry sat up and put his glasses on, clearly making
the scream team be quite.
"Too late. I'm awake," He looked at Hermione. 'Did she really ask me out?' That
didn't seem like Hermione. And besides, what about Krum?
"Harry, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have asked you..." Hermione looked at her feet.
Harry sighed.
"It's allright. What about Victor?" Harry wanted to know if she didn't like him anymore.
"Well, over summer we decided that we're just not right for each other." Hermione
didn't sound to upset about it. Changing the subject, she pointed to his bedside table. "Look,
you have cards." Hary looked over, and sure enough, there were cards and candy stacked
high. Ron walked over and sat next to him, Hermione right behind.
Harry picked up the first one, and saw it was from Ginny. He smiled and handed it to
them. He had ones from all of the Gryffindors, one from Cho Chang, (he suddenly felt very
guilty) and surprisingly one from...
"Malfoy?" Harry read the name on the card. Hermione and Ron's head snapped at
the card, eyes wide with disbelief. Harry openend it, and read to himself...
Harry,
Sorry about your accident. Meet me on Friday at the top of the Astronomy tower
at midnight. Come ALONE.
Draco Malfoy
Harry stared at it, clearly distraut. He felt like he could throw up, right then.
"Harry? Harry, what's wrong?" Harry handed the letter to Ron. Ron read it, and turned
as pale as Harry was. Hermione read it and merely stared at Harry.
"You aren't going are you?"Hermione looked at him with pleading brown eyes. Harry
nodded.
"What? You are going to go up to the tallest tower, alone, on midnight to meet him?
You must be mad! It would be the perfect opprotunity for him to push you out a window! No
way am I letting you go there alone, Harry." Ron seemed more worried than Harry was. Harry
shook his head.
"No, I'm not mad. I'm going there to meet him, alone, period. Understand?" Harry
seemed quit serious. Ron's mouth was open, shooting Harry looks of disbelief. He tried to
say something but nothing came.
Madame Pomfrey waltzed in, lookin tired.
"Harry, here's your potion. It's time for bed, now." Ron and Hermione glanced one
more look at Harry before the hangings were pulled around his bed. They grabbed their chairs
walked over to their beds.
'He never did answer my question, did he?' Hermione thought to herself as a silent
tear fell onto her pillow.
'I cannot believe him! What is he thinking? What does he think Draco's going to do,
hand him a cup of tea and toast to a life long happiness? No! He's going to duel him, or push
Harry out of a window. It'd be so easy. No one would even hear him scream! Maybe I can talk
some sense into him tomorrow...' Ron fell asleep silently.
Harry was so dazed by everything that had happend to him in the last two days,
he didn't want nothing more than sleep. Long,dreamless,sleep. But he needed to think about
things first.
'What do I do about Hermione? I've never thought of her liking me like that...I thought
we were just friends. But it looks as if I say no, that friendship won't be the same. I'll just have to
say yes and see how it works out.' Harry sighed and fell asleep.
"Why would you ask him then? He was in pain, and you shocked him to death!"
It was a guy's voice, so Harry guessed it was Ron.
"OKAY! I'm was wrong and I'm sorry. No stop yelling or he'll wake up, Ron!"
"Don't tell me you're sorry! I didn't make him pass out! You have to tell him!" Ron
