"Don't forget to review."
"So people could read and they view."
"So the author would be happy and not so sad."
"Then maybe we could save the world because she wasn't mad."
Author looks up at the camera. "Now you guys know what do."

Chapter 2- Hospital Dilemma
I'm so happy when I'm with you, Draco. Hermione said while placing her head on his shoulder while happily dancing alongside a beautifully decorated ballroom with the most beautiful piece of music Hermione ever heard playing in the background. As the music came to a close Draco dragged Hermione near the other side of the ballroom where it seemed to have a bottomless pit, and then he pushed her off the edge.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!! Help me! Someoneeeeeeeee!!!!" She yelled while falling down the pit.
Then all of a sudden she heard the voice of Madame Pomfrey all around her. "Hermione, dear wake up!"
Hermione woke up with a jolt.
"What the-" She was instantly cut off by Madame Pomfrey.
"Oh, dearest I think you had a nightmare. I saw you twitching and having night sweats I just had to wake you up. Sorry about that."
"That's alright… I'm okay now. Thanks."
What a weird dream. No, not a dream. A nightmare. Why in the world was I dancing with Malfoy? Wait a sec. Where am I?
She looked around the room, realizing that it was the Hospital Wing.
How in the world did I get here?
She suddenly had flashbacks on what happened yesterday night. Then she looked at her right foot.
It's okay. But how… Oh yeah… I remember now as everything was leading towards Malfoy.
"Stupid Malfoy." She murmured.
"What was that?"
"Oh nothing…" Hermione responded quietly, while looking at the clock against the wall. It was now 7 o'clock in the morning, and Hermione had a pitiful feeling down in her stomach as she soon remembered that Professor McGonagall and Malfoy were suppose to see her today in the morning and would probably come second now. And she was right once again; all of a sudden Professor McGonagall and Malfoy alongside her, came through the door as though they were looking for her because she had done something terribly bad.
"Good Morning Madame Pomfrey." Professor McGonagall greeted her with a slightly small smile on her face.
"Good morning to you too, Professor McGonagall."
She looked around the room." How has Hermione been doing? Is she okay?"
"Why don't you ask her that yourself." Madame Pomfrey pointed in Hermione's direction.
Professor McGonagall clearly saw that Hermione was wide-awake and was sitting on the hospital bed. "Thank you, Madame Pomfrey. Come along Draco." She said while taking a quick glance at Malfoy.
Malfoy followed Professor McGonagall with his head down. Hermione couldn't hear what he was saying under his breath, but she knew that he was saying something nasty about her.
"Miss Granger are you alright. Are you feeling better?" As Professor McGonagall was flooding her with questions, she glared up at Malfoy who still had his head down.
"Miss Granger?" Professor McGonagall asked quietly.
"Oh, I'm sorry Professor. I'm feeling a lot better thank you." Hermione added while still glaring at Malfoy.
Professor McGonagall took notice of this.
"Miss Granger the reason why Mr. Malfoy and I came here is to know what exactly happened yesterday and why you two were out past curfew." Malfoy suddenly lifted his head. Hermione beamed at him a nasty glare.
Oh great…He's going to tell her that it was my fault and that he was doing something busy and important outside.
Just when Malfoy opened his mouth and was about to say something was when Professor McGonagall stopped him.
"Mr. Malfoy I want to hear form Miss Granger."
"Well…uhh… I was…" Hermione stopped to think a minute.
What am I gonna tell her? She can't know that I was outside just for some pointless reason staring at the moon just thinking about what to do in the future.
Then Malfoy looked at her, not with an angry look but with no sign of facial expression from his mouth only his eyes where looking right directly at hers.
What is he doing?
Then Hermione remember what Malfoy tried to do to her yesterday night.
Oh, he doesn't want me to tell Professor McGonagall what he was going to do to me yesterday. Well, too bad because I will Malfoy.
Then suddenly Hermione spurted something out that didn't even make any sense to her.
"Well… you see Professor McGonagall yesterday Hagrid wanted to see me about something on Keoritos a new species that we're gonna work on for the rest of the year so I stayed there for a few hours and then I realized that it was past curfew so I started heading towards the castle before I tripped on the tiny statue and fell on the stairway, and Malfoy was only there to help me he didn't try to hurt me, Professor honestly."
What the hell… Was I saying? That wasn't true…
After saying that both of their faces looked very surprised especially Malfoy's.
"Well, Miss Granger… If that is true then I shouldn't have accused Mister. Malfoy like that. I'm sorry Draco." She said looking at Hermoine suspiciously. "But, that's still no excuse for you two be out past curfew. So I'm giving both of you detentions for 3 weeks."
"Three weeks!" Both Hermione and Malfoy yelled.
"Yes, three weeks. Now if you don't mind… Draco go to eat breakfast, and Hermione you can also join him whenever you can. Now if you excuse me…" She said very quickly as she was leaving the Hospital Wing in a hurry.
Why didn't she ask Malfoy about his whereabouts yesterday? Maybe she knows that I'm lying. I hope she doesn't. Hermione thought while sinking her head deeper into the pillow.
"Nice going Granger." Malfoy snapped at her.
"Well did you wanted to get kicked out of Hogwarts instead, Malfoy. Cause if that's what you wanted I could call her up right now and tell her that?" She added.
He didn't say a word. He just looked up glaring at her.
"I'm going to breakfast, I'm not going to wait for you." He said.
"Okay, who said I needed you anyways." She said while giving out a smirk that would probably out beaten Malfoy's by an inch of slyness.
"Stupid Mudblood." He said under his breath, but loud enough that Hermione could hear him say that.
"Stupid Malfoy." Hermione said while getting off the bed with her sleeping clothes on and started walking to the Hospital exit towards the main stairway in search of the Dormitory for a change of clothes.
"Bye Madame Pomfrey, thanks you for all your help! You've made me feel better," She happily said to Madame Pomfrey as she came out of her office.
"Don't mention it, dear. If anything goes wrong you know where I am."
Hermione started walking up the stairway trying to get through the crowds of people who were all rushing to get down in the great hall for breakfast, when she stopped when she saw Harry and Ron.
"Hermione where were you yesterday night?" Ron asked at Hermione.
"Yeah, we're were worried sick, we decided to go look for you but Professor Snape had been talking to our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Caldwell.
"Oh we have yet another new Defense the Dark Arts teacher this year?" She asked.
"Well, yeah he introduced himself yesterday at night as he went to every common house to do so." Harry added.
"Oh great, and I missed it. Just because of that stupid Mal-" Hermione stopped right there as she noticed that Harry an Ron were paying close attention her to every word.
"What about Malfoy? What has he done to now?" Ron asked as Harry nodded.
"It's not about Malfoy it's those damn mal- malpractice designing of those floors at the main entrance.
"The floors at the main entrance?" Harry asked while giving Hermione the same look of suspicion that Professor McGonagall gave her earlier at the Hospital.
"Yeah that's what I slipped on yesterday night, they are extremely dangerous so don't go there." Hermione responded to Harry.
Ron was about to say something when the bell rang which meant that it was already 8:30 letting people know that there was only 15 minutes left before classes started.
"Oh well, tell ya later gotta go change and eat before class starts." Before anyone could even say a word Hermione left running up the stairs towards the dormitory. Harry and Ron continue their way down the stairs and was going to wait for Hermione in the Great Hall once she is finished changing and came down to tell them more about what had happened to her yesterday night and why.
