Chapter 17
Hermione went to her trunk to get her clothes for the day. She picked a light green fitted tee-shirt and a pair of low rise jeans and then threw her school robes over top of them. After she had finished dressing she walked over to her vanity to do her makeup and hair. "Why good morning to you Hermione" Kay the mirror chirped.
"Good morning, Kay," Hermione said sitting down and looking for her potion to tame her hair.
"And what was the Headboy doing in here last night," The mirror questioned.
"Nothing. Nothing at all," Hermione said picking up the potion she needed and rubbed it through her hair.
"Oh so it's common for you two to share the same bed," the mirror replied.
"No," Hermione said blushing "It is not common for us to share the same bed" Hemione picked up two colors of foundation studying them in the light.
"The almond beige," the mirror said offhandedly.
"Thank you," Hermione said putting down the other foundation and quickly applying the beige the mirror suggested. She quickly applied the rest of her makeup without a word from the mirror except for when it was giving advice about her makeup.
"Well if you excuse me I have to meet Draco in the common room." Hermione said getting up and leaving her room.
"Guess you settled your diffrences then," The mirror called to her retreating back.
Hermione walked down to the common room and saw that Draco was not there yet so she went to the bathroom, Hopefully the news hadn't spread to Marti yet because if it had Hermione would never get out of there without answering tons of pointless questions. When Hermione entered the bathroom she walked strait over to the sink and picked up her toothbrush and quickly she brushed her teeth. As soon as she was done she walked back out. Not as much as a hello from the bathroom mirror. "Must still be asleep" Hermione mutterd to herself as she sat down on a couch that was placed in front of the fire.
"Blasted mirror," Draco mutterd coming down into the common room. "Oh hello Hermione"Draco said noticing she was sitting on the couch.
"Having problems with the mirror now are we Draco" Hermione ask with laughter in her voice.
"No none at all" Draco said "why would you ask that." holding out his arm to her. Hermione took it a smile plasterd on her face.
"hmmm just that you were muttering about it coming down the stairs." Hermione answered as they walked toward the exit of there common room.
"well if you had a mirror like I did you would mutter about it to" Draco retorted as they got to the exit. Draco went out of the portrait hole first and extended his arm to help Hermione out. As soon as she got out of the portrait hole the sound of footsteps were heard coming around the corner.
"There you are Mione we have been looking everywhere for you" Harry said catching his breath.
"yeah we even looked in the Library and the Kitchen afraid you started spew back up again" Ron mutterd shaking his head then he noticed that Hermione's arm was hooked with Draco. "Get you bloody hands off of her" Ron roared his face turning a deep shade of red. Harry noticing what Ron had shot furious looks at Draco.
"Ron calm down Draco is escorting me to the Headmasters office for Headboy and Headgirl Business" Hermione said in a calm tone.
"That doesn't give him a reason to touch you" Ron ground out advancing toward Draco.
"It isn't any of you business whom I touch and whom I don't Weasle" Draco said through clenched teeth. Ron growled slightly and advance even closer to Draco. Draco suddenly unhooked his arm from Hermione and stepped forward to meet Ron.
"Harry do something will you" Hermione pleaded.
" I think that Ron's right Hermione it's not a good idea for Malfoy to touch you" Harry said in a low voice.
"For goodness sakes Harry his name is Draco" Harry " and he hasn't done anything to you" Hermione argued.
"What about last night"Harry said to Hermione.
"I told you I feel it wasnt his fault Hermione said in a calm voice.
Ron and Draco were circling around each other sizing the other one up, but slowly closeing in on each other. Even though Ron had a few inches on Draco, Draco had more mucles than Ron. "Stop it" Hermione yelled but it fell on deaf ears. There was only one thing she could do to stop this nonsense. Hermione moved inbetween Ron and Draco as Ron was throwing his first punch Which hit Hermione in her right eye. Hermione feel back against Draco and he caught her with ease.
"Hermione are you ok" Draco ask as she turned into him. Hermione only whimperd. "Good Job Weasley do you always make a point of hitting your bestfriends" Draco seethed.
"Oh God Hermione I am so sorry" Ron said moving toward Hermione. Hermione tried to move closer to Draco though she was as close as she could get.
"I think you have did enough for one day Weasly, Can't you see that you scared her" The Hand that Ron was holding out suddnely dropped.
"you can come and see her when she is ready to see you again. I will send word by owl" Draco said scooping Hermione up and heading toward the Hospital Wing.
"Harry did you see that instead of coming to us when she was hurt she went strait to Malfoy" Ron said
"Well Ron you did hit her in the face" Harry replied still a bit shocked.
" No it was more than that Harry" Ron said a look of confusion on his face. "There is someting going on that we don't know about and I believe it is our best intrest as her bestfriends to find out" Ron the usually oblivious one stated as he headed off toward the Griffyndor commonroom Harry following behind.
"Are you ok Mione"Draco whisperd cradling her in his arms. as he reach the Hospital Room.
"No" Hermione whisperd " One of my bestfriends hit me" she whisperd
"but Hermione you have to remember it wasn't meant for you" Draco said pushing the door open.
"What in the world happened here" Madam Pomfrey exclaimed.
"She was on the recieveing end of a punch, though it wasn't meant for her" Draco replied calmly trying to sit Hermione on the bed but she wouldn't let go of Draco.
"Come on Miss Granger I need to have a look at that eye, and as I told you before if you came in with another bruise like that and I would have to alert the Headmaster, So Mr. Malfoy please go get the Headmaster." Madam Pomfrey said helpind Draco get Hermione off of him and onto the bed.
"I'll be right back Mione"Draco whispered into her ear as he left the Hospital Wing and headed toward the Headmasters office.
