Chapter five: A Dangerous Situation
Harry gave the password into the Fat Lady and she opened up allowing us inside. We sat down on the couch next to the fireplace. The common room was empty as everyone else was at dinner. I let go of Harry's hand, even though I didn't want to and started to rummage around in my bag for a spare piece of parchment and my quill. I had just found them and taken them out when Harry spoke.
"Hermione, listen not to sound negative or anything, but why did you kiss me back there?"
I felt like a huge boulder had been dropped on top of me. He didn't love me like I knew I loved him. This was were he was going to tell me, that were just friends and nothing more. I bowed my head and stared at my hands. I was about to pick up my quill and write down my answer for him, when I felt a finger under my chin. Harry lifted my face up and stared me in the eyes, they locked and I couldn't seem to tear myself away from his gaze. Suddenly he leant in and kissed me gently before pulling away and speaking again.
"I need to know how you feel about me Mione, I know what I feel for you but I need to be sure before I say anything"
I picked up my piece of parchment and my quill and scribbled down my answer as fast as I could, hoping that his feelings would match what I had just wrote. I handed it over to him and all he said was one word.
"Really?" he asked dumbfounded.
I nodded yes and threw my arms around him as he spoke again.
"I love you too Mione! Now come on, we have to go and teach that so called scum of a boyfriend of yours a lesson, so I can be your boyfriend!"
I pulled away from him and smiled as once again I nodded yes. I stood up and so did Harry and waited for him as he went to get his invisibility cloak. As he came back down the cloak around his shoulders he handed me a note and the explained something to me.
"I found this on Ron's bed apparently he's gone out with Lavender again. Now listen, I just want you to act as though I'm not there o.k.?"
I nodded yes as together, Harry under the cloak, and me walking in front, we made our way up to the classroom that I usually met Malfoy in. We both had our wands even though I couldn't use mine, but it was just in case my voice came back. Finally we had arrived at the classroom. I opened the door and walked in carefully allowing Harry to sneak in behind me.
"I didn't think you would come, especially after what happened last night"
I just stood there and sneered at him. Finally he spoke again, as he walked right up to me.
"Its no fun not to have you shout back at me so as a treat I'm going to give you your voice back"
Slowly so as he wouldn't notice, I took out my own wand and kept it by my side so I could hex him as soon as my voice was back. He too, took out his own wand and pointed it at me. Behind me I could feel Harry's warm breath on my neck and it was sending shivers up my spine.
"Solon Hermas!" shouted Malfoy as a green light shot out of the end of his wand.
The pain was unbearable and I collapsed on the floor. I tried to scream out and it worked my voice was back but I was still in a lot of pain. I tried to stand up but found myself being kicked in the side, and I was forced back onto the floor, my wand laying beside me long forgotten.
"I give you you're voice back and you don't even say thank you for it, I'll teach you to respect me!"
He was about to hex me when Harry showed himself. Malfoy spun round to look at him.
"Don't you dare lay a finger on her Malfoy, she's my girlfriend not yours!"
"Really" he turned to face me again "So you've been two timing me behind my back, with him?!" he pointed his finger at Harry.
But before he could say another word or kick me again, Harry pointed his wand at him and hexed him.
"Petrificous Totalous!" (A/N: spelling?) shouted Harry and instantly Malfoy dropped his wand and went as stiff as a board and fell backwards onto the floor. Harry ran over to me and knelt down beside me.
"Mione, are you o.k., please tell me your o.k.?"
"I think so, but I don't think I can move, Malfoy must have broken one of my ribs"
Harry picked up my wand and put it inside his pocket along with his own before lifting me up in his arms. I smiled at him as he walked over to Malfoy.
"Next time you want to beat up my girlfriend, I suggest you think before you act, otherwise you'll be a lot worse of than Hermione is right now"
With that, Harry walked away and out the room, he locked the door behind us, and took me up to the hospital wing. He placed me on a bed while he went to get Madam Pomfrey. Luckily she didn't ask to many questions, unluckily she told Harry he would have to leave and to come back in the morning. That night had to be the worst night I had ever spent at Hogwarts, I had to have a small bone re-grown in my ribs, now I know what Harry went through when he had to have the bones in his arm re-grown overnight. Eventually I got to sleep, even though it took me a while.
The next morning, at first I didn't know where I was, until I saw Harry sitting in a chair next to my bed holding my hand, and smiling at me. I sat up in my bed and smiled back at him.
"I'm so glad your o.k. Mione" he said leaning in to give me hug.
"Me too" as I hugged him back. He pulled away before he spoke again.
"I haven't told Ron anything, about us, or what happened with you and Malfoy, I think you deserve to tell him"
"Thanks Harry, and I will when I'm ready, is that o.k.?"
"Mione, you don't have to ask me permission, of course its o.k."
I smiled again at him as he smiled back.
"So, are you allowed out of here today?"
"Yeah, Madam Pomfrey came and told me last night after she told you to leave and come back this morning"
"You ready to go now then?"
"Yeah just let me change into my own clothes and then we can go o.k.?"
"O.k., I'll wait outside for you o.k.?"
"O.k., see you in a mo!"
With that I drew the curtain around the bed as Harry walked out of the hospital wing to wait for me outside. It didn't take me long to get changed. After I was ready I picked up my cloak, off the previous night and put it on, before walking out to meet Harry.
