Disclaimer: I own nothing.
A/N: OMG!!! I'm back! I am really, really sorry it has taken this long. I know I got my stuff back about two or three weeks ago, but man is my life dramatic. All the drama I had in school last year could be combined into one week this year. So I've kinda had a lot going on with my friends and making sure that I keep my grades up. But I'm trying ok.
Another week passed and Draco spent long hours thinking and analyzing every bit of information. He wrote down a list of all possible suspects and contemplated who it could have been. There were many people out to get him, but they were all too scared, too stupid, or just not that bored to think up something this clever. Then he thought about the people who might go after Hermione. There were now many on that list too, but all signs led to Harry.
"Damien, we should go check on Hermione." Draco sighed as he got up from his chair.
They walked down the corridors and headed for the hospital wing. Madame Pomfrey was away when they entered so Hermione was the only one there. Draco sighed miserably when he saw that her state hadn't changed since the day she entered. She was still unconscious.
"How could anyone hurt anything so beautiful?" He whispered as he kissed her forehead.
He looked down at her, but he received no answer. Not that he had expected one, just that he had hoped for one. He played with a strand of her hair and closed his eyes. He was so sad. He was so lonely.
"Hermione, come back to me." He pleaded.
Then from the entrance of the room he head a noise and then a deep, fierce growl. Draco snapped his head and jolted up. Someone was there. Damien was in attack mode. But he could see nothing.
"Who's there?" Draco called as he strode across the room.
Damien barked loudly and Madame Pomfrey entered quickly. Then a few younger year students who happened to be passing by stopped to witness.
Damien ran down the halls, following the fiend. Draco head heavy breathing and the sounds of shoes rapidly hitting the floor. Someone was there and he had every intention of catching him.
Draco watched Damien leap and the sound of feet stopped. The yelp of a human came from underneath the dog and Draco caught up and hovered.
"Who are you?" Draco demanded as he grabbed a hold of the invisible cloth and yanked.
He was shocked to see Ron Weasley. Hermione's best friend. Ron laughed and shook his head.
"So you finally caught me." Ron smirked mockingly.
"What the hell are you doing Weasley?" Draco asked with appalled amazement.
"What do you think?" Ron shrugged as he stood.
"Why? Why would you do such a thing? Hermione is your best friend!" Draco yelled as Dumbledore approached calmly.
"Mr. Weasley, come with me." Dumbledore grabbed Ron by the robes and pulled him towards his office.
Draco and Damien followed not far behind. Draco was livid. The one person he would never expect. How horrible and disappointing. He never would have thought.
"Well now, tell me everything." Dumbledore demanded as he closed the door to his office behind the four of them.
"What is there to tell?" Ron shrugged.
"You bastard!" Draco lunged for him, but found he was paralyzed from the neck down.
Draco snapped his head towards Dumbledore. A hand was held up to keep him in place.
"Now Draco. I understand your fury, but we must get all the facts before a punishment can be sentenced. Now Mr. Weasley, proceed." Dumbledore nodded.
"Ugh, must we really go through this? You know it was me who did all this. Can you just send me off to wherever now?" Ron questioned.
"Mr. Weasley, if you do not speak and tell the whole truth, there is little chance that you will escape a sentence in Azkaban. Now why did you do it?" The old man asked.
"You really want to know why? Because I love Hermione. I've always loved her. All these years I've tried so hard to win her over, and he does it in such a short time. And he was an ass to her most of her life! He doesn't deserve her. In the end he'll do far worse to her then I could ever. I can help her out of that coma easily, but who can help her from him when they're married years from now and he's grown tired of her?" Ron spat.
"I may have been an arrogant little shit when I was younger. I'll admit that. But I love her, and I will never let any harm come to her. I will never hurt her. Never." Draco hissed.
"So I left little clues and hints that would make you think it was Harry. It made perfect sense didn't it? The golden boy wanted her, and his enemy, gets her. Harry's never been turned down like this before. You all knew he was furious, and he had motive to do it." Ron shrugged.
"Mr. Weasley, are you telling me that you blamed your best friend for harming your other best friend because you claim you love her?" Dumbledore arched an eyebrow.
"It sounds crazy I know. I didn't mean for it to get this far. This was supposed to scare them and split them apart. And when they were through she would see just how wrong he was for her. I didn't mean for it to come to this. How did I get this mad?" Ron suddenly became emotional.
It was silent for a moment. And no one knew just what to say.
"Punish me! Yell at me! Beat me! But don't jus sit there." Ron whispered.
"I honestly do not know what to do with you Mr. Weasley. I'm not sure if you have proven that you are crazy or if you have proven that you are homicidal? I do not understand why you did this. You claim you love her, and yet you try to harm her." Dumbledore sighed.
