Chapter 8~ The Confrontation

****

Draco watched as she ran out of the Great Hall. He frowned knowing his father would want him to get close to the little bitch. But then he smiled thinking about how hot she looked in Hogsmeade the other day.

"Draco," a most annoying voice cooed. "Can you believe Hermione's not a mudblood? I mean hello not only that she was going to be the heir, if only she'd been a he. Oh well... I guess I can make the best of it. I can't believe I was so mean to her." She said this all very fast so that it was almost impossible to understand the words coming out of her mouth.

"What the hell are talking about Pansy?" He gave her a very confused look.

"I think I'm gonna try and become friends with Hermione."

"And you want to do that because…?" He noticed that Hermione still hadn't come back down to the hall and that it was getting late.

"Well being who she is and all, I think it would be a good idea."

"Okay, whatever you say Pansy." He stood up and left without another word to her or anyone else.

*****

Draco went from the Great Hall to the library; no Hermione. Then to the common room, no Hermione. She wasn't at the lake or in any of the classrooms and he didn't think she was with the dynamic duo because last he saw they were still in the Great Hall with they new girlfriends, Lavender and Parvati. The last spot he looked for her was the prefect bathroom.

"Shit!" He ran and knelt next to her, "What the hell did she do this time?"

He saw the blood flowing out of his wrist. He didn't waste anytime healing her cuts, but after that he tried to decide whether or not he should bring her to the Hospital Wing.

Hermione's eyes fluttered open and felt around the bed she was laid on. It was silk; it was green! On shit where am I? She sat up really fast but then fell back on the bed because of the dizzy wave that overcame her. Next thing she knew, she started screaming, until he calmed her down.

"It's okay, calm down." His voice was soft and sweet, not pushy and harsh as it usually was. She tried to sit up again, but it didn't work. When he tired to help her, she slapped his hand, "Don't fucking touch me!"

"Wow what did I do?" He had anger in his voice.

"You were born!" This time when she sat up she was successful.

"Lay back down, you lost a lot of blood."

She didn't lay back down, instead she got out the bed, on the other side, away from Draco.

She started walking towards the door, "I wouldn't leave just now. Lisa and Justin are out there. They might get the wrong idea about us."

She stopped, turned, and with a bewildered look on her face, "What time is it?"

"Seven thirty in the morning."

Her left hand immediately went to her right wrist, "Why did you heal them? Didn't you think I wanted them there? I put them there, on purpose! What were you thinking, I was fine-"

"Fine? You were fine? You call laying in the middle of the bathroom in a pool of blood fine?"

"Okay, I wasn't fine but I wasn't going to die! What would you know about anything I'm going through right now?"

"Maybe I don't know what you're going through right now, but as a Slytherin, I'm not gonna let you die. Why did you do it, anyway?"

"Because out of the four houses in this fucking school I got the one I never wanted to be in!" And with that she let out a frustrated scream and plopped back on the bed. "Couldn't you have at least left the scars there? Did you have to take away memory and pain?" She noticed that her cloak was missing, "Where's my cloak?"

"You can't leave yet, not until we're sure Lisa and Justin are gone." He said it more calmly than he felt.

"I didn't say I was leaving, I said I wanted my cloak."

"Why do you want it?"

She looked down at her outfit, "You're kidding right? I'm in a skirt and tank and you keep your room at like two degrees below zero. I'm cold genius!"

"It's with the house elves, it was soaked in blood so I had them take and it and wash it. They're putting on new emblems too."

"I guess I should thank you, but instead I'm gonna ask you to look and see if Lisa and Justin are gone. I need to change."

"I think you look fine."

"Regardless of what you think, I was wearing this yesterday! There's no way in hell I'm going to classes dressed in the same outfit two days in a row it's not kosher(lol meg that's just for you!)."

"Fine, fine." He walked out and then called to her, "It's clear!"

She hurried out and walked by him.

"Hermione?" She stopped and turned. Draco took a few small steps and was next to her, "Don't I get thank you?"

"No, you-" Her mouth was covered by his. At first she tried to push him off but she was still too weak from her blood letting, so she just gave in. To her it was one of the most exciting experiences she had ever felt. He pulled back reluctantly.

"You're welcome, Hermione." And with a swish of his cape he disappeared into his room.

I'm gonna stop here! Not by choice but because I have to figure out what's gonna happen next! I honestly don't know what to do now...any suggestions would be gratefully accepted. I just want to thank those who read and reviewed you have no idea the joy it brings me to see that some one besides my friend reviewed. I do accept flamer, they're the best critics...true I'll probably cry because someone hates my story but I'll get over it.
