Plz review.)

Hazel groaned as she woke up in a hospital wing bed. A splitting pain ran across her forehead where she had hit her head. She must have fallen at least a hundred feet, she thought. Slowly regaining consciousness, she tuned in to the voices around her.
"Shh, quiet! Mr. Malfoy, who gave you permission to be in here? Get out, out now!"
"Professor Snape gave me permission."
"Well, then. Don't touch anything."
Thinking Hazel was still unconscious, Draco walked over to her bed and whispered, "I'm sorry, Hazel. I didn't mean for you to fall. Well, for that matter, I didn't even mean to kiss you. But let's not get into that. Just be alright, okay?"
He didn't expect a response, and was surprised when Hazel whispered back, "Okay. I'm alright."
"Well, awake are we? And who were you saying "okay" to? You must have been dreaming," Malfoy said in a nasty and suddenly cold voice.
"Whatever you say," said Hazel, smiling, her eyes still closed.
There was a sudden BANG as the door flew open, and in came Harry, followed closely by Ron and Hermione.
"WHAT the HELL was that, Malfoy!?" Ron yelled. "You dirty little-"
"Ron, you'll get in trouble," warned Hermione, hardly able to contain her own anger. No one, of course, knew that Hazel was awake.
"Jealous, Weasley?" said Malfoy with a small smile, which had nothing to do with happiness. "Or, wait, I forgot, you HAVE a girlfriend now."
Hermione began to blush, and Ron turned very red, although from anger or embarrassment, one could hardly tell.
"Malfoy, you jerk! How could you do that to Hazel! She could have died, and that's not the worst of it!" Hermione yelled at him.
"Watch your tongue, mudblood," Draco retorted. "I don't have time for your silly games."
"Malfoy, don't EVER do that to Hazel again!" yelled Harry.
"Do what, Potter?" he snapped.
"You k-, you, kis- DON'T EVER KISS HER AGAIN! Anyone, for that matter!"
"I will do what I please. I didn't know you had such feelings for the girl. I'll let you in on a little secret, Potter. I think Hazel ENJOYED being kissed by me. And really, Potter, as if you know anything about kissing," said Malfoy, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Actually, Malfoy, I'll have you know Hazel kissed me once," said Harry, a little embarrassed. Ron and Hermione looked at him in surprise.
"WHAT?" Draco shouted, turning to face him.
"What I said, Malfoy, she kissed me. And it seems I'm attractive enough that I don't have to use spells and force to get attention." It was not like Harry to talk about this sort of thing, but his anger unbalanced his emotions.
Draco pulled out his wand and pointed it at Harry, his pale face flushed in rage. Harry followed suit, and just as they were about to set curses on each other, the door burst open.
"BOYS!" McGonagal's voice rang throughout the room. "To my office, now, all of you!"
Dumbledore appeared behind her in the doorway, his eyes twinkling in amusement. "Actually, I think we'd best leave them. Come along, they are old enough to sort out their own troubles. Ron, Hermione, could I talk to you two outside?"
The two teachers and two students left the room, leaving Harry and Draco glaring at one another.
Hazel shifted in her bed covers, causing both boys to drop their wands and face her.
"How are you?" asked Harry.
"I'm alright, except for a headache and some sore muscles. I'm sorry we lost the Quidditch game. I thought I heard someone yelling, that's why I woke up?"
"Uh, no, must have been your imagination," Harry said quickly.
Hazel shrugged, then turned to Draco, who looked back with emotionless steel-grey eyes. Then she asked, "Guys, could you leave? My head really hurts and I'd like to sleep."
The two enemies immediately obliged, and started to leave the room.
"Bye, Harry. Come visit me sometime," called Hazel.
Harry departed with a nod and a smile.
"Draco?" said Hazel.
"What?" he turned around, with the same emotionless stare. It was if he was trying to hide something.
"I just wanted to say, um- it was amazing. I'm probably going to hate you again, when I'm properly conscious and not delirious, but I have to say this. That kiss was absolutely stunning."
For a second, Hazel thought she saw an emotion flicker across Draco's face, but then it was gone. He turned and left without another word. Hazel just shook her head, then fell back asleep on the soft pillow.
