Disclaimer: Yep...the usual...I don't own anything! I would love to own
Draco but if I can't so I'll let Hermione have him in my stories that are
based on the characters of JK Rowling.

Thank you to all my reviewers and a lot of you have asked if Hermione will live or not...you'll just have to wait cackles, yes I am evil...but I can't very well tell you the ending so please keep reading.
Chapter 2: Weakness
[ March 5th , 7th year, Hogwarts]
"Hermione, HERMIONE," Draco called desperately to the girl in his arms, she didn't respond. Tears now flowed freely, he paid little attention to them. He gathered her closer in his arms and walked faster, he didn't know what was wrong with her but he would make sure he did everything he could. Several students looked in disbelief, the Prince of Slytherin was carrying the brainiac mudblood in his arms, and several noticed his tears.
Pansy came towards him with Professor Snape.
"What is the meaning of this?" Snape demanded as he approached.
Draco stopped in front of him and tried to speak, "She...sniff...and...she..." he choked and couldn't speak anymore.
Proff. Snape looked towards Hermione in Draco's arms, his face softened slightly (A/N : NOT much mind you), "Here, Mr. Malfoy." He motioned and held out his arms to take Hermione but Draco refused to let her go, "Fine, follow me then." He made his way quickly to the hospital wing.
Snape was much more effective at clearing a path then Draco and they soon left a confused Pansy far behind.
Snape burst through the hospital wing doors, "Poppy." He yelled.
A very angry looking mediwitch came out from behind one of the screens, "SEVERUS, this is a hospital wing, I will not have..." She cut off by Snape.
"It's Ms. Granger." He said coolly, Ms. Pomfrey turned to Draco and she rushed towards them.
"Oh good you found her," she shook her head, "Over here, dear, lay her down on the bed, poor girl"
Draco followed her orders, he placed Hermione gently on the bed, and brushed the hair from her face, she was so pale. He put her under the covers and Ms. Pomfrey pulled the curtains closed around the bed. He only then realized he'd been crying and wiped his face, he still had his damn pride. He grabbed a tissue from the side table and noticed something odd. There were Hermione's things on the table, she'd been staying in the hospital but...
He didn't finish his train of thought, because two very angry Griffindors came out from Ms. Pomfrey's office.
"Did Harry find her???" Ron demanded, he and Ginny made there way towards Snape, they couldn't see Draco behind the curtain around Hermione's bed.
"She's here." Snape said curtly. Ginny sighed in relief.
Snape turned to Poppy who was gathering some potions from her cabinet.
"Do you need some more potions?" He asked.
"Yes, yes, and hurry up Severus." Ms. Pomfrey said dismissively
Snape sneered at her back but walked out the hospital doors to retrieve some potions from his rooms.
Ron drew back the curtains, he and Ginny jumped back in surprise seeing Draco standing over Hermione.
Ron recovered first and flung himself at Draco, "GET AWAY FROM HER!!" he yelled.
Ginny rushed to try and hold him back causing her, Draco and Ron to go flying to the ground in a heap. Ron sat up and wailed on a surprised looking Draco.
Harry came into the wing, " Ron?? Gin?? I can't find..." He saw them all on the ground, "Malfoy." He hissed when he caught sight of Hermione lying unconscious, he jumped to conclusions and aided Ron's attempts to attack Draco.
Ginny untangled herself and went to get Ms. Pomfrey.
Ms. Pomfrey gasped at the sight of them, "THAT IS ENOUGH." She yelled, but the boys ignored her.
The doors of the hospital wing opened yet again to show Snape, this time with an arm load of potions, Ms. Pomfrey turned to him, "Severus, put those down and help me with this hooligans."
Snape grabbed Ron and Harry off Draco. Ms. Pomfrey shooed them out and turned to take care of Hermione, "Severus I trust you to deal with this." She closed the curtains.
Snape fixed all three boys with a glare. Draco had a black eye, bruised cheek and was bleeding from a cut over his eye. He was by far the worse, Ron's lip was bleeding and Harry's robe was slightly torn.
"I wouldn't even expect this kind of behavior from you, even with your upbringings." He said to Ron and Harry, then he rounded on Draco, "And you, a Slytherin fighting with a mangy Griffindor." He sneered. "You three will start your detention tonight, with me, three weeks worth, and 100 points from Griffindor for attacking a Slytherin."
Ron and Harry gasped in outrage, Ginny stood on the sidelines watching the whole affair.
"What about Malfoy?" Ron demanded, "He was attacking Hermione. I mean even a Slytherin isn't evil enough to attack a dying girl."
Draco looked up in surprise, and Ginny and Harry gave Ron a disapproving look.
"Ron, I can't....believe you said....IT" Ginny's eyes filled with tears.
Draco's face was deathly pale, "Dying?" he whispered, all heads turned towards him, "But...she...can't...." he could feel his eyes welling up again, he struggled to keep them back, 'Crying is a sign of weakness' his father had always told him but it didn't matter anymore. The tears came again against his bidding, for when it came to Hermione, she was his weakness.
A/N: So there we go...second chapter...again Draco a little OOC but he is in love (ppl are diff when they're in love) and I think once you get him crying...he an't gonna stop. But next chapter Draco and Hermione confrontation in the summer...yay! So hope you liked it enough to push the little button at the bottom of the page looks hopeful . Next chapter on the way! -Sapphire
