A week dragged by. Hermione's condition barely changed. The trio of Harry, Ron and Draco were at her bedside constantly.
Harry was tired, the dark rings giving it away. His unshaven face formed a small stubble around his chin.
He was pale and gaunt, his face looked remarkably like Sirius' when he had been hiding out. The pain still resided in him and he wouldn't talk about it.
Ron's red hair was dirty and flat. His tired eyes flickering in and out of sleep. He swayed on the spot as he tried desperately to stay awake.
Draco was something different. His face was still pale, like carved stone. His eyes were wide and searching, betraying some secret, other than love. He stood stiff and still and Harry and Ron couldn't understand how he stayed so immaculate even though they both knew he hadn't slept, he had barely moved from clutching Hermione's hand.
Hermione moaned softly and balled her fist. Draco woke from his trance, Ron jumped and Harry's eyes darted towards Hermione. But she just sank back into the bed again to Draco's disappointment. Harry mumbled something about bathroom and Ron said he needed to go too. The two boys walked out, Draco knowing they were going to bed. He sighed and settled down. Before he nodded off, he kissed his Sleeping Beauty, wrapping his hands around her delicate body. He cried on her shoulder and pressed his lips to hers, falling asleep, his arms around her.

When Draco woke the following morning, he was being violently shaken by Harry.
"What?" he mumbled."It's Hermione."
"What?" he asked, worried.
"No, no, she's improved. Her condition.it's almost lifted to be non - existent. Pomfrey has no idea what happened but.well, apart from her legs, she's could be doing cartwheels," Harry whispered. Draco sat up, surprised that his kiss, cry and hug had woken her.
He glanced over at her and she breathed regularly, moaning more and letting it out. Suddenly she let out the most ear piercing screams Harry had ever heard. Both shuddered and Draco raced over to her. Her eyes were wide with terror, scream splitting his heart. He stroked her hair and she settled down, beginning to cry. Somehow he knew that she was reliving what had happened when she had been kidnapped, except this time she was allowed to speak and make sounds.
Madam Pomfrey walked swiftly into the room. "She's fine, Poppy, just having nightmares," Harry said curtly. Poppy looked at him, and walked out again.
Draco smirked and sniggered.
"What?" Harry asked.
"That'd be something I'd do," he replied.
"Yeah, well, it's rubbing off. If you hadn't gotten close to Hermione, none of this would have happened," Harry retorted angrily. Draco raised his arms.
"Hey, chill out! It isn't my fault that she got up early and Voldemort decided to play tricks on our emotions and hearts! I knew nothing about it. Sure, I'm sorry she had her legs broken and is in a coma, but I can't help it."
"If you hadn't of gotten in a relationship, then your father and Voldemort would not have decided to chase after her. This is punishment to you, I know. But it impacts everyone else too, you know. You are the problem here, you tease and mock us for years and then you get close to Hermione. For that, she is nearly taken away from us! It was you that did this, indirectly, sure, but you did this!" Harry hissed. Draco turned red.
"Look, I have been by her bedside for a week, I helped her with rehabilitation, I am there for her when she needs me! You don't know the half of it! I don't know how you can even say it was my fault, I turned my back on my father ages ago!" Draco seethed.
"Yeah, well, maybe you're right, maybe she is a filthy Mudblood, maybe she doesn't deserve my care, or Ron's. Yeah, you are right, you're always right you snotty thing. You know why? Because I'm also a pureblooded wizard, my parents both were, and I hang out with a Mudblood, no wonder my reputation isn't good. Well, if you're always there, you hang out with the pathetic Mudblood, you see how your reputation changes!" Harry yelled. Draco rounded on him. He drew his wand, but decided against it.
He threw it to the other end of the room and balled his fists. He threw one at Harry but he dodged it. Harry turned purple and hurled one at Draco. It hit him in the jaw and Draco snapped Harry's nose. Blood started to pour out. While Harry felt his nose and tried to mop the blood, Draco got him in the stomach. Harry slumped to the floor. He kicked out at Draco on his way, catching Draco off guard. Draco fell to the floor and Harry twisted his robes to grab his wand. He pointed it at Draco.
"Speak now or forever hold your peace!" Harry screamed.
"Accio wand!" Draco yelled. His wand came to him and he pointed it back at Harry. Harry lifted his foot but Draco grabbed it and twisted it.
"Ow, you bastard!" Harry screeched. "Seca!" Draco's arm was slashed and blood began to dribble out.
The doors opened but their wands stayed on each other.
"Boys! Break it up!" Dumbledore commanded. Neither boy moved and Dumbledore sighed.
"Accio wands!" he called. Both wands flew to him and he pocketed them. Harry lunged at Draco and pinned him to the ground. He gritted his teeth.
"Filthy Mudblood!" he whispered. This was it for Draco.
He roared and lashed out at Harry, scoring a hit on Harry's cheek. He hit him in the head and Harry swung his arms at Draco, and missed.
"Enough!" Dumbledore yelled. He levitated Draco and put a body bind on Harry. Draco kept kicking in the air, hoping to kick him some more. Harry yelled and Madam Pomfrey came in the doors. She hauled Harry into a bed and treated his wounds.
"Lemme at 'im!" Draco cried, still kicking. Dumbledore dropped him and put a body bind too. He then levitated him to a bed and gave him a Sleeping Draught. Both boys fell asleep, Draco yelling, Harry twitching.

A/N: I had to make Harry turn for some sort of plot (don't know what yet). Er.so I included a typical fight. Now, for you to think about. Does Hermione wake up next chapter or never? Hehe. You'll have to wait. Keep the reviews coming because I don't get all that many for this story. Anyway, thanks to everyone who does review and see you next chapter!
