Hermione woke up in the hospital unable to move her hands.

"What...?" She questioned aloud. Then she remembered. The experiment, the explosion.

She glanced around the room and was shocked to find Draco sitting in a chair by her bed, asleep. She smiled and was still wondering over this as Evan walked in. "Hermione!" she shouted, but Hermione put a finger to her lips and pointed to the sleeping Draco.

'Oh,' mouthed Evan as she quietly sat down on the bed.

"MALFOY!"

Both girls disolved into giggles as Draco shot up out of his chair, looking prepared to fight hatever had woken him up.

He glared at them and stalked out, which just made the girls laugh harder. As Evan calmed down she turned serious and said, "He carried you all the way here you know."

This confused Hermione even more and left her feeling dizzy. "Wha-what?" she hoped the dizziness was just from her recent head injury, but you never know, do you?

Evan shook her head slightly, "yeah, even I was shocked. I mean, from what you've told me about him I thought he wouldn't even touch you!"

"Yeah, yeah that's what I thought too."

Another thing the girls didn't know was that on his way out, Draco had stopped just outside the door. He heard everything they said. It was amazing even to him, what he had done.

When she fainted, she hit her head on the table behind her. That's when he lost it, all his anger, all the discrimination, everything her had ever been taught in his entire life was brought to trial. His views were changing, and it was all because of her, he knew it, he couldn't stand it.

He guessed seeing her fall and knowing it had been because of him, he snapped. It wasn't fair; he just wanted a little revenge, a little fun. Don't get this wrong though, he still couldn't stand her and all her morals and such but that edge of hate he had always had was gone.

"Laddie," said the nurse, coming up behind him. "She needs her rest; you can come back and see your girlfriend tomorrow though."

"Wh-what?!" he was outraged. "My girlfriend? I don't think so, you've got it all wrong."

"Right, sure sure." The nurse obviously didn't care very much about her mess up because she more or less ignored Draco's little self righteous speech.

And that more than anything brought him back to that little feeling called anger he seemed to know so much about.
