Hermione wandered in a daze back to class, wondering about what she had done...Kissed Ron? Had she been in her right mind? What would he think? Thank God that Harry was going with her later, she couldn't face him alone...
She reported Ron's condition to Professor Sprout, and returned to her seat next to Harry. "Is he alright?" he whispered
"Yes, he just has to stay overnight, I promised him that we'd be up to see him later."
"Of course..." The bell rang, "What's next?"
"Potions"
Harry grimaced and started to walk s-l-o-w-l-y towards the dungeons.
Hermione dashed on, "Hurry up!" she called over her shoulder.
"I guess I have to..." and they broke into a run
But they both arrived in class just as the final bell rang, "Made-it" panted Harry.
Hermione looked around, Snape was advancing on them like an overgrown bat. "I wouldn't be too sure about that..." she whispered to Harry
"Detention, Potter and Granger, and 20 points from Gryffindor." Snape said smoothly
They knew by now that it was pointless to argue with him and they both hastened to their desks.
"And where is your faithful sidekick Weasley, Potter?"
"He's in the Hospital Wing" said Harry while rubbing the stitch in his side.
"10 points from Gryffindor"
"Why?" they both demanded
"Because he did not report his absence..." said Snape in a dangerous tone, "...another 10 points for cheek from you two, come to me at the end of class to work out your detentions."
Harry and Hermione glared at him and fumed throughout class, when the bell rang, they reluctantly went to Snape's desk.
"Potter, you will do your detention now: clean up after the class and Granger, you will have your detention this evening." Snape said vindictively
"Tell Ron I'm sorry and I'll be up to see him later..." Harry muttered to Hermione in a rush as he started to mop up crushed ant livers off the desks.
Hermione made her way out and trooped silently through the empty corridors, everyone was outside enjoying the winter sun, and wondered what she would do now.
She entered the Hospital Wing and Ron broke out in a smile when he caught sight of her.
She managed to smile back and stood by the side of his bed, waiting...
"Where's Harry?" Ron enquired
Hermione explained.
"Stupid Git..."
They spent the next fifteen minutes happily thinking up dire punishments for the offensive Snape, then there was a silence...
"So, how's the arm?" asked Hermione brightly
"Ugh" Ron made a face and lifted up his sleeve, the skin had turned neon pink now and the boils had faded to a pale blue.
Hermione examined them and remarked with a straight face, "Looks like a work of art..." She stared at Ron's face and burst out laughing.
Ron grinned and then gazed at Hermione with a strange expression, "Hermione, I just realized that..." the silence was long and very silent
"What?" she whispered
"...that-" the bell rang for the end of break and without another word, Madam Pomfrey shooed Hermione outside.

Those who believe that Ron was going to confess his love, raise your hands. Hmmm, quite a few. Well, we'll see but I'm making no promises. Thanks for the great reviews; I'm starting to feel like a real writer...ummm, could I ask you guys to read my other stories? Please?
