'Harry!' Hermione shouted as Harry started walking over to them.
'So, Malfoy, you think that you can steal Hermione away from me, eh? Well, think again!' Harry laughed menacefully and took out his wand. Draco jumped infront of Hermione to shield her from what Harry might do. He was just about to hex Draco when Harry was paralyzed from behind. Hermione and Draco looked around the body of Harry and saw Snape standing there, out of breath.
'Professor Snape!' Hermione and Draco said together. 'How did you-'
'I heard yelling, and I thought it was unusual for this time of the morning,' he said, still panting. 'Glad to know youre both alright, would hate to lose one of our star Quidditch players to Potter,' Snape said, laughing lightly. He started to pick Harry's body up and bring it to the Infirmary, when Draco helped him. They exchanged warm smiles.
Hermione couldnt help but think how weird it was that Snape was acting this... nice. Usually, he would have yelled at them to go back up to their rooms until breakfast, but today, he seemed like he was actually human.
Hermione followed them to the Infirmary, where they had to wake up Madam Pomfery. She gave them chocolate, and Draco turned to her.
'You know, we could have really been in serious trouble if Professor Snape didnt hear Potter screaming and laughing so insanely like that,' Draco said, and he put his arm around Hermione protectively, as they walked to the Great Hall for breakfast. It felt so comforting to her, so right, so warm. But she still couldnt get Harrys face out of her mind, the face he made when laughing like he did, and right before he almost hexed Draco.

'Harry really almost hexed Draco? Wicked!' Ron said as he stuffed some eggs into his mouth. Breakfast was almost over, and Hermione was sitting with Ron at the Griffyndor table.
'Yes Ron, but it scared us nearly to death! Oh, are you going to eat the rest of those eggs? I love the way the new chef makes them. She adds seasoned salt to them, I heard,' Hermione said as she stuffed some of the wonderfully delicious eggs into her mouth.
Hermione kept stealing glances at Draco, who seemed to be socializing with a different crowd. He was talking to some of the nicer Slytherin boys, which was a major change, since he would only talk to those almost as evil as him before. When Draco would catch her glance, he would blow her a kiss. Ron seemed to notice all of this.
'Oh, Draco is just dreamy, isnt he,' Ron stared off in to space and fluttered his eyes.
'RON! WHAT HAS GOTTEN INTO YOU PEOPLE!' Hermione screamed as she slammed down her fork and stormed out. Everyone looked at Ron, hoping for an explanation.
'It was only a joke,' Ron said as-a-matter-of-factly.
Hermione ran out of the Great Hall, and she kept running until she got to the end of one of the hallways. She sat on the floor and hugged her knees tightly. 'Why is everyone acting this way? Harry has gone insane, Draco has turned lovely, Snape has turned into quite a gentleman, and Rons gay! Did I miss something?' Hermione said to herself as she rocked back and forth, back and forth.
'Yes, I think you may have, Hermione dear,' a voice from down the hall scared her.
'Get away from me Harry! I dont want you anymore!' Hermione quickly stood up and walked slowly away from the wall where she was sitting. She looked around in all directions. The voice seemed like it was coming from everywhere. Hermione took a step back, and felt someone grab her from behind. All went black.
