At Madam Pomfrey's office came a howl of pain.
"O keep quiet will you. It ain't so pain. There's nothing serious anyway." Madam Pomfrey placed Draco's hand into a bowl of white milky liquid then proceeded to bandage it. Hermione sat in a corner staring at the two of them.
"There." Madam Pomfrey turned Draco's hand over and looked at the bandage. "That's all, you may leave now."
"But... He's still hurt..." Hermione insisted.
"He's alright. There's nothing Wrong with him. It's just the pain. If you still feel the pain tomorrow morning, come and find me. In the mean time, Chocolate would help a lot. Now off you go..." Madam Pomfrey walked over to Hermione as she stood up and gestured for them to leave.
***
"Well, you can manage on your own right? I need to get back to the common room. Got lots of assignments to do." Hermione's voice slowly trailed away as she turned around and made for the gryffindor common room.
Silently, Draco turned around and dragged his feet heavily back to the slytherin common room.
***
Hermione entered the portrait hole to see that Harry and Ron were sitting in the two armchairs facing the fire. She tried to avoid eye contact with any of them but it was helpless. Ron was staring blankly at the fire while Harry's eyes stared fervently at her, not with passion but with angerness and bitterness. Hermione quickly made her way for the stairs and climbed it to the dormitory. She felt a pinch of guilt for not trying to listen to what Harry had wanted to say.
She slowly closed the door behind her and sat on her bed.
She knew that telling Draco that she had assignments were merely an excuse to get away from him. Being bored and having nothing to do, Hermione devoted this time to thinking of all the things she had somehow or rather done to make Harry angry.
Deep in thought, she suddenly remembered the letter Draco had given her earlier that day. Looking around, she took out a piece of slightly crumpled parchment on which "Only for the eyes of Hermione" were written on it. She unfolded it and read the first few words out loud.
"Dear Hermione, I am really sorry about what i did at the lake. I..." Hermione soon stopped speaking and read the letter silently.
--------------------------Draco's letter------------------------------
Dear Hermione,
I am really sorry about what i did at the lake. I know i shouldn't have done that. Pls forgive me. Your eyes were just so mesmorizing. I couldn't help it. The real reason i brought you to the lake was because i wanted to give the pendant back to you. You dropped it when I accidently bumped into you. I also wanted to apologise to you but i could not. You know how much i have to try to up-hold my father's reputation. The one thing he had taught me was never to apologise to anyone. I hope that you will understand.
This week is the Hogsmeade weekend and it's also the grand opening to the Hogsmeade carnival. I have two tickets and was wondering if you would like to come along with me. I mean, after all, Krum won't be going. Unless, you have other plans. I know how you must feel at this moment. Perhaps confused or afraid. I don't blame you for feeling this way towards me.
As far as this may concern, I hope that you will give me a chance, at the very least, to make it up to you.
Pls keep this between the both of us. I hope you will consider replying. You can find me behind the old willow tree beside the lake.
-Draco M.

Hermione kept silent and read the letter twice. Is this the same nasty, name-calling Draco that she knew back then?
She reached for a piece of parchment and her ink and quill. Turning on her stomach, she dipped her quill and let her hand hover above the parchment while she thought of what to write.
***
It was pass dinner time when Harry and Ron had fallen asleep infront of the now, almost extinguished fire.
Hermione crept down the stairs to the common room and tip-toed pass them, trying as hard as possible not to wake them up.
The portrait door opened lazily as the fat lady snored silently. She walked pass the portrait and down the corridor to her left.
she passed the staircase that led to the owlery and headed down for the open grounds. In her hand, she clutched tightly, a letter neatly folded.
As she reached the grounds outside, she took in a deep breath and held it for a few seconds before exhaling. Looking around, she spotted the old willow tree and behind it, she could see Draco's smooth blond hair.
She walked closer towards him and walked around the tree to face Draco. Only to see that he had fallen asleep under the shady tree. The wind rustled by and Draco moved his body slightly, adjusting himself comfortably, his eyes still shut tight.
Hermione stared at him as his chest slowly rose and fell. Hermione had wanted so much just to stroke his hair and rock him to sleep. This sight was rare and made Hermione's motherly instincts show. She kneeled down beside him and gently lifted his left hand slipping the letter into his curled fingers. His bandaged right hand rested safely on his tummy.
Hermione looked at his face and noticed the look of an innocent boy. He was smiling in his sleep. Hermione stared once more as her heart slowly melted. She lift her hand to touch his face. Her cloak stroked Draco's arm gently and he stirred, waking up to see Hermione's hand an inch away from his face.
Shocked at Hermione's presence, he sat up straight and stared at her.
"I, er...." Hermione lowered her hand.
"I'm sorry" Hermione turned her head and stared at some of the forth year students as they strolled out the door.
Draco pulled on Hermione's arm seeking her attention. He opened his right hand and gave her the two tickets on which he had been clutching the entire time. Hermione pushed the two tickets back to him and pointed at his left hand. Just as Draco realised that the letter was in his hand, Hermione had already left for the Gryffindor tower.
***
Draco, drowzy from waking up, crossed his legs and hunched his back. The leaves were rustling above him. He pushed the two tickets back into his pocket and unfolded the piece of parchment. Smoothing out the creases, he squinted under the setting sun and tried to make out as much of the letter as possible. The sky was gradually increasing in darkness.
--------------------------Hermione's letter------------------------------
Dear Draco,
I would like to take up on your offer to accompany me to the carnival but what about Crabbe and Goyle? Are you just going to leave them both? I am sure that there are others who you could bring along. I think i need some time alone. Thank you for your offer anyway.
~Hermione G.

Draco dropped the letter onto his lap and closed his eyes.
"What did i do to her?" Draco mouthed silently and hit his head lightly against the trees.
