Hello all my lovely readers!! I made major changes to chapter 6 so if you
haven't read them yet, go back! Nows! I didn't like both Hermione and Ron
knowing about it so now Ron knows and Hermione doesn't. Just go back and
read. No big deal!
And I'm sooooooo sorry for not updating for months! I have no good excuse except for writers block. Yeah, I know 3 month long writers block is a little weird but what can I say? I'm sorry and here is the new chapter! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Please understand I don't own Harry Potter, I wish, but no.

~The Feeling That Never Leaves~
Harry bolted up the flights of stairs to the Hospital Wing as fast as Malfoy's legs could carry him, leaving Ron behind at his fast pace. His robes blew behind him, and his hair whipped around. His cheeks became slightly pink and he ran farther down the corridor. Harry slid to a stop and thrust the doors open. Not knowing that Madame Pomfrey had been standing right behind the doors he had caused her to fall to the floor and drop the potions she was carrying. (a/n: bwahahaha...serves her right!!! *smiles innocently and carries on typing away*)
"Mr. Malfoy!!!!! WHAT exactly is the meaning of your hurry!!!???" Madame Pomfrey shouted furiously.
'Act like Malfoy, act like Malfoy....'
"Oh, nothing really. I just wanted to see how many people I can knock down today by simply opening a door," Harry replied cooly.
"Please Mister Malfoy, spare me the chirpy attitude so I can tend to my patients and kindly exit the Hospital Wing," Madame Pomfrey said very exasperated.
"Well, I was debating on actually *helping* someone today but there so happens to be an injured Hufflepuff out on the quidditch pitch that no one has bothered to assist."
Madame Pomfrey became huffy," Well, why didn't you tell me this sooner!" She bolted out the door muttering something about rude Slytherin children.
'Finally!!' Harry thought and he rushed over to his helpless body laying on the bed. His eyes widened in horror. His robes were soaked and darkened with blood and ripped in all sorts of places, he had gashes and bruises all over his face and hands. One black eye, a bloody, puffy lip, and a broken arm.
"Jesus Christ," Harry muttered in disbelief. He heard the doors open and he spun around only to see a very red Ron.
"I didn't know Malfoy could run that fast," Ron panted and grinned.
Harry only scowled. "Ron, do you have any idea what happened to me..er him, rather?"
"Well, I was walking out of the library where he said he would meet me and never showed, when I saw your body being thrown against the wall. I had completely forgotten about the switch at that time, but just seeing that happen to you made me bolt over there and want beat the shit out of whoever did that to you. I couldn't see who it was exactly because they were in the shadows. My mind went immediately to Malfoy but then I remembered the current occupant of that body was you." Ron paused for a moment and Harry just stared at him.
"I started to slow down, hoping they wouldn't see me coming, I didn't want to wind up bashed against the wall as well. So I got closer and I could hear the guy saying a threat of some sort. I saw him holding a pocket knife and slash your face with it. Malfoy tried to grab your wand out but the guy cracked his arm and let him fall to the floor. I have no idea how the whole ordeal got started, but as I walked closer the person heard my footsteps and ran out as fast as they could. I'm so sorry Harry. If I knew who it was I would Aveda Kedarva their ass in a heartbeat."
Harry smiled weakly, "I know you would Ron, thanks." Harry looked at his own body sadly, wishing he could be himself again, despite the physical state.
The Hospital Wing door opened again and Hermione entered looking flustered.
She spotted Ron and walked over to him, "I came here as soon as I heard! Where's Harry? Is he alright? What on earth happened?"
"'Mione calm down. Harry is going to be just fine, He's right over there." Ron said pointing to the bed.
The real Harry tried to slip away quietly but Hermione spotted him.
"What are you doing here, Malfoy?"
Malfoy's cold gray eyes looked over at her.
Hermione saw something in his eyes she had never seen before. There was emotion. There was loneliness. Harry looked back at the ground mournfully and slowly walked out, leaving his two best friends behind.
Hermione felt her heart drop. She actually felt sorry for him. 'I never thought I live to see the day...' She thought sadly.
Ron stepped over to Malfoy's side and sat down on the bed next to him and Hermione followed. A few tears fell out of Hermione's eyes and slid slowly down her face. She grabbed "Harry's" hand and held onto it. "Harry's" eyes opened slowly, and Draco looked over at two blurs that looked like Harry's best friends. He could hear Hermione crying.
"Hermione," He said hoarsely.
She jumped, having not realized he woke up. "Oh, Harry! I was so worried!"
"It's ok, everythings alright," Draco said in a very un-Malfoyish way.
They both smiled at him. He sat up and fumbled around to put on Harry's glasses.
"Here Mate," Ron said as he handed them to him.
"Thanks," Draco said.
Hermione got up and sat on Draco's bed and hugged him.
Draco moaned in pain.
"Sorry! Sorry!"
"No worries," he whispered.
Hermione kissed him gently on the cheek, and Draco had to prevent himself from gagging.
'Ugh, kissed by a Mudblood..' He thought.
"Ron, we should probably go. Plenty of homework to do!" Hermione said.
Ron groaned, "Please, Hermione. Go ahead without me. I need to talk to Harry."
"Harry needs his rest," Hermione stated simply.
"Yeah, yeah." Ron said as he waved his hand.
"Come on, Ron. Leave him be. I love him and I'm letting him rest, I think you can manage."
"Alright, I'm coming," Ron said as Hermione exited, "Hang in there Malfoy."
And with that, Ron left Draco in the empty Hospital Wing.
