A Little Review:

Pansy was panting like mad as they both reached the Prefect Common Room portrait.

There Ginny stood.

"She ran in too soon for me to catch her, and I don't know the password" Ginny sighed.

Draco whispered the password to the portrait and it opened.

They all climbed through.

"Hermione!!" They shouted and ran over to her urgently.

"What happened to her?!" Ginny said.

$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$

Chapter 15: Hospital Wing Stay

"I… I don't know. Hermione?" Draco said.

"What did you do to her?" Ginny stared at Draco.

"Nothing!"

"It's no time to fight, we have to help Hermione!" Pansy said looking desperately at Hermione.

Hermione lay spread out on the floor soaked in blood. There were dry tear stains on her face and her eyes were closed.

"Check her pulse!" Ginny told Pansy.

Pansy checked, "It's going super slow."

"We have to take her to the Hospital Wing!" Ginny exclaimed.

Draco rolled up his sleeves, bent down and picked Hermione up.

"Lets go." He commanded.

The 3 of them, along with Hermione, ran out of the Common Room and upstairs to the Hospital Wing.

"Madam Pomfrey!" (A/N- Did I spell it right? lol.) Pansy shouted.

"Yes dear?" Madam Pomfrey said running out from her office, "Oh my---- What happened?"

"We don't know!" Ginny said.

"Come, come! Put her down on this bed!" Madam Pomfrey said.

Draco followed orders and stood back to where Ginny and Pansy were.

"Okay, she's in my hands now…… Please leave." Madam Pomfrey said hurriedly.

"No." Draco said.

"Draco." Pansy whispered and ribbed Draco lightly.

"Come on," Ginny said.

"No. I'm not leaving." Draco said quite calmly.

"Draco, she wants us to leave… LET'S GO!" Pansy told him.

"NO. I'M STAYING HERE! I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT HERMIONE IS ALRIGHT!" Draco yelled.

Ginny and Pansy stared at Draco in shock, mouths slightly open.

"O-kayyy…" Pansy said slowly and backed out of the door. She took Ginny's wrist and pulled her out of the room too.

Draco walked over to a chair set by the bed Hermione lay on.

He put his face into his hands and closed his eyes.

Draco heard Madam Pomfrey come back into the room.

He lay his head back onto a bed behind him, and slowly fell asleep worrying about Hermione.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*

Hours later Draco instantly sat up. He looked around and saw Hermione still laying on the bed but this time in a Hospital robe and no blood was to be seen. She had many cuts all over her arms and neck. Draco sighed.

He suddenly felt something on his cheek. Something he'd never felt before enless it happened when he was much younger.

A single tear ran down his face. Slowly… slowly… slowly.

Draco quickly wiped it away.

'How is this possible?' He thought. 'I've never cried. NEVER. Just looking at someone with cuts, laying down makes me cry?… Well she's not just "someone" after all…

'I've been sitting here for a while, and I'm starving. I guess I should go out to the Kitchens, grab something to eat and come back.' Draco got up from his chair and headed for the door.

"Draco?" A weak voice called.

Draco spun around.

"Hermione?" He ran over to her and gave her a HUGE hug. "You're okay."

"Yeah…" Hermione trailed off.

"What happened? Why…… Why did you run out of the Great Hall when I… you know…" Draco trailed off and looked at the floor.

Hermione hesitated.

"I… I mean… Well… I really can't explain it." She said weakly. "As soon as you said it… I felt this shocking pain… and it sort of… made me run out of the hall… Oh… I don't know- I can't really explain it."

"Try." Draco pleaded.

Hermione took a deep breath.

"So… I ran out of the hall and into the Common Room and… and there stood a figure dressed in a black robe… The robe touched the floor so it looked like he glided over to me… He…" Hermione paused, took another deep breath and continued, "He stretched his hand out and grabbed me by the neck. He placed me into the middle of the room and let go. He then did… I think, " She whispered, "Crucio," She spoke back up "To me and I have no idea what I did to myself or what he or she did to me after that." Hermione took a deep breath and sighed.

Draco had been quiet the whole time, listening carefully.

"Interesting. Well, Hermione I bet you're tired and you really need to sleep, so… I'll just leave you here now and come back tomorrow morning." Draco said.

"Draco?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah?"

"How long have I been here?"

"Maybe about 5 or 6 hours." Draco answered.

"Were you here the whole time?"

"Yes."

"Oh…"

Draco continued toward the door. As soon as he put his hand on the door knob…

"Thanks." He heard Hermione's soft voice.

He turned around, smiled sweetly and said, "You're Welcome." And continued out the door.

Hermione smiled, closed her eyes and fell asleep, thinking about something along with someONE.

A/N- I KNOW That was short, don't rub it in! I just did that because I haven't updated in a LONGGGGG time. I hope it was okay. It was pretty rushed so that it can be done with. lol! Lets see…. 5 pages and 1,306 words. Ciao Ciao!
