Chapter 10

Pain and Confusion

Professor Snape had just walked into a very noisy classroom; everyone was talking about Harry and Hermione's break up. They kept on asking Hermione about it, but she didn't want to answer them, so she just acted all hurt and offended and said, 'How could you speak that name in front of me?' This added a lot of spice to the rumors. Hermione couldn't help but overhear bits and pieces of different stories that were traveling at light speed.

"Oh my gosh! Harry raped her?!?!" Pansy would ask rather loudly, while an ugly Millicent answered, "Well of course not, why would anyone go through that much trouble for an ugly mudblood like that?" They would both start laughing uncontrollably, and other Slytherins would laugh. Hermione could feel her cheeks burning red.

"Hey Millicent, if that statement is true how come no one has raped you yet?" Came a voice from the back of the room. Everyone turned their heads very slowly, they all knew that voice, but there were just so many rumors going on that no one knew how to think of him, defending Hermione?

"You heard me. Now answer me you ugly halfblood." Harry swayed slightly, he then collapsed. Hermione was the first one across the room; she was at Harry's side in an instant.

"Oh my Gosh Harry, what happened?" Hermione asked, looking him over, He had a fresh gash across his cheek and a long scratch down the side of his robes he had minor scratches all over his body and his scar was burning black.

"Out of my way, out of my way." Professor Snape came busting through the crowd to see what the commotion was about, when he saw Harry sitting there, he stopped dead.

"Professor!? We need to get him some help!" Came Draco's voice from next to Hermione.

"I.I.Granger take him to the hospital wing." Snape looked away and quickly went to his office. Everyone looked at Hermione, she asked Draco to help her carry him and they started to make their way for the hospital wing.

~*~*~*~

"Well that was brilliant!" Ginny said with obvious sarcasm, not actually talking to anyone in particular, but rather to herself. She was in a room full of portraits of naked seductress', after all.

"Why didn't it work?" Now she was directing her question at the blue haired mermaid.

"Well it didn't work, simply because the feelings for you he had told you, weren't real.

"Damn!" I was looking forward to it." Ginny made a puppy dog face to the mermaid and asked, "Do you think there's any way to get him back in here and make him think I'm Hermione?"

"I don't know you're the one who knows this magic crap, as you should know, mermaids can't brew potions." The mermaid then winked, and jumped into the sparkling blue lake that was all around her rock, in her portrait.

A sudden thought came to Ginny's mind. "Of course, but how will he ever come near me again? I need someone to give it to him for me." Ginny tried to think of one of the guys she had shagged. Draco was pretty good in bed, She thought, No wait, now he's part of the dream team, but all I have to do is get him into this room and I've got him.

~*~*~*~

Hermione and Draco were carefully carrying Harry down the deserted corridor. Hermione had tears streaming down her cheeks, but wouldn't let herself get hysterical.

As they were turning a corner, Draco's wand shot out of his robe pocket, and started rocketing down to the end of the last corridor.

"What the hell?" He said, and started running after it.

Hermione stood there for a few minutes waiting for Draco to get back, but since he hadn't come, she just figured that he was still chasing his wand, so she continued to slowly take Harry to the hospital wing, without the help of Draco, this was a very difficult task. Hermione was 5 inches shorter than Harry was, and she was quite skinny, while Harry was tall and muscular, from all of his quidditch training.

She finally managed to get to the hospital wing about ten minutes later. Madam Pomfrey started to make a fuss over Harry and quickly shooed Hermione out, in spite of her protest.

"Harry needs to be mended and rest for a while, you can see him tonight after dinner." A stressed Madam Pomfrey said. Hermione was not leaving unless she was forced.

"But I need to be with him! Please!" Hermione pleaded. But she was shoved out of the wing very quickly, and was left alone outside of the now locked door.

Hermione sat out there determined to sit out there until Madam Pomfrey would let her in. But then she suddenly remembered that Draco hadn't returned after going after his wand. Hermione stood up quickly and started to walk down the corridor and follow the line that she had just conjured from her wand, which would lead her straight to Draco.

~*~*~*~

Draco was running down the corridor after his wand. His wand was just inches in front of him but it just seemed like it always out of reach no matter how fast he ran.

Suddenly, his wand stopped dead in midair, and Draco out of breath, bent over with his hands on his knees, breathing hard. Once he could breathe steady again, he reached out to get his wand, but then he noticed another hand on his wand, and he looked up to see a very pretty Ginny. Her hair was sparkling, and her eyes, were dark with dramatic makeup that worked just perfectly with her robe, which was a deep black velvet.

She quickly caught his lips in a fervent kiss, and pulled him through the wall next to them.

Draco felt the sensation of cold run through his body, while going through the wall, and pulled away from Ginny and looked at the room that she had just pulled him to.

"Why am I here?" He asked, looking around him and taking in the details of the magnificent golden room, he looked at all of the portraits that Harry, his new best friend had seen just an hour before.

"Well, my darling Draco," Ginny looked him and started taking off her robe, " You know Drakie, that your eyes are a magnificent color, when I look into them I can see into your soul, they're just so strong that they're penetrating." Ginny crossed over to where he stood, and she stared into his gray eyes. Draco tried not to stare back, he tried not to fall under her spell. But, suddenly her eyes started to become a pitch black.

"Why aren't you kissing me?" She said agitated, he mood starting to change for the worst. She was about to go off on a mental break down when someone fell through the wall.

Hermione had followed the line leading to the wall, and didn't see Draco anywhere, so she just stood there and leaned on the wall and fell through. Ginny hadn't shut the passage up after she and Draco came in.

"Virginia Weasley step away from the boy!" Came Hermione's shrill voice. "What the hell have you done to my Harry you little whore?" Said Hermione now getting quite hysteric. "Avada K"

"No!" Both girls looked over to Draco.

"Draco! You saw what that bitch did to Harry! She deserves to be dead!" Hermione said.

"But Hermione, she's not worth getting expelled over. You would be doing one of the unforgivable curses! You would most definitely be expelled." Draco said, trying to stay calm in the current situation.

"Fine Draco, just let Harry's injury and maybe death be unavenged! You don't even care!" Hermione started scratching and kicking Draco until Draco was near tears; a thing Malfoys don't usually do. She screamed and screamed. And all through this Ginny just sat in the corner, upset with herself about not getting Draco. She was running out of ideas. What would Lusci say when he found out that she failed him twice in one day!

After about ten minutes of Hermione's tantrum, she calmed down, and helped Draco up off the ground, crying and apologizing. "I'm so sorry Draco I didn't mean to hurt you." They both shot a look of pure hate and disgust at Ginny, and they walked through the wall, and started to head for the hospital wing to check on Harry.

"Nice job kid, the boss is gonna be so pissed." The mermaid started to laugh.

"Oh shut up, he loves me so much he won't be too mad at me." Ginny said, not even convincing herself of any truth in the statement.

'Ginny' Ginny shut her eyes, he was talking to her. 'Ginny come to me now, we need to talk'

"I'm coming Love. And Ginny disappeared, the mermaid was clucking her tongue at disgust in Ginny's lack of success, before jumping into the sparkling blue water.

~*~*~*~

"Yes my love?" Ginny asked mesmerized by the grace and power of the form before her.

"You have failed me again. I cannot stress enough on how important it is that you succeed within the week, the dark lord is not happy with your success." Came an evil voice from behind the giant black desk.

"Buy, nothing seems to work for me Lusci! I mean I'm irresistible why didn't they sleep with me?" Ginny asked.

"Well I will not deny the fact that you are gorgeous and not too bad in bed either, but I didn't give you the powers to just waste them. You fail one more time, and the Dark Lord will deal with you himself."

"Yes sir, I will not fail again."
