Draco walked around the school. He wasn't sure what to think. Hermione wasn't with her Scarfaced friend, she had been crying? Draco thought of this then stopped.
"Why am I even caring? this is mudblood I'm thinking here?...but she has grown up to be really pretty...hmmm...maybe I shouldn't call her mudblood anymore?...wait! what am I talking about?...yes I can I'm pure!...but she looked so cute standing there infront of me...tears wetting her pale complexion." Draco shrugged and made his way to the Slytherin tower.
(When everyone came back from Hogsmeade)
"So Hermione?...what did you do up here when we parted?" Harry asked a very unusually quite Hermione.
"Hmmm?...oh, sorry Harry...must have been daydreaming."
"About what?" Harry asked concerned at her attitude.
"Oh...n-nothing." Hermione shook her head.
She got up and started to walk out of the Common Room. Harry stared at her, Ginny was in the corner scowling with her arms closed around her chest.
"I'll be back soon...just need some air." Hermione said without turning.
(Down the corridor)
Hermione walked slowly. Her head was low...tears formed again. She felt a sickness...a dirty sickness.
Her feet started to move faster as she took into a run...covering her mouth as she ran into the girls bathroom and vomited into the basin. She washed it down and looked around to see if no one was in there with her. She looked at herself in the mirror that was covered with grime. Her face was pale...more pale than usual. Tears formed again as she looked at her sickning reflection. She threw her head back down into the basin and threw up more. She then went into a shower turned it on cold and sat there leaning against the wall. Not even bothering to take her clothes off. She cried until she fell asleep in the damp coldness.
"Hermione?...Hermione!" a voice called from what she thought was a long way away.
"Hermione?...are you OK?...I brought you soup." the voice called again.
Hermione managed to open her eyes and roll slowly over in a warm bed. She looked at the blury figure standing over her. She had red hair and was frowning.
"Ginny?" she heard her own voice.
"Hey girlfriend...are you feeling better?"
"Where...am I?"
"In the Hospital Wing. Here eat your soup...it'll make you feel better." Ginny picked up a bowl and spoon and handed it to Hermione who sat up slowly and took Ginny's offer.
"Well...how's the soup?"
Hermione looked down at the chicken and herb soup and felt like vomiting once again. She didn't touch it.
"Are you hungry?...what were you doing?" Ginny asked more concerned.
"I thought you didn't like me?" Hermione croaked.
"Is that why you were in the showers all wet and cold?"
Hermione looked up from her soup that was getting cold. She had forgot she had done that.
"No..no, no, no...it wasn't because of you...I.." her voice trailed off. She instead looked at the gifts at the end of her bed.
"Where's Harry?...did he come to see me any time?" Hermione asked placing her soup on the side table.
"Yeah, Harry came...when he heard the news about you...he jumped up and ran straight to the Hospital Wing to see you...he's a good friend Hermione."
Hermione looked up at Ginny.
"I know he is...he's more than a good friend."
"Oh?"
"N-no! not like that of course!" Hermione assured.
"Oh, well..for a second there...(giggles).
Hermione lay back onto her pillow..it sure beats the cold stone wall she was laying on before.
"And...Malfoy..." Ginny began once again...her face puzzled.
Hermione sat bolt upright...
"Malfoy?!...what about him?" Hermione asked a little too excitedly.
"Well...he was the one who found you Hermione...word said that he saw you run past him in the corridors crying and holding your mouth...he followed but gave you time to calm down....he waited outside then heard the shower go on...then nothing..not splashing as if you were washing...so he went in..luckily you weren't nude huh?...so he helped you up to the Hospital Wing...kinda strange." Ginny said getting up from the chair she was sitting on and placing the soup back onto the tray.
"Well...I'll be seeing you around then?"
"Huh?...oh, yes...for sure." Hermione spoke as Ginny turned to leave.
"Oh, and Hermione?"
"Yes?" She answered as Ginny once again turned to her.
"Is there anything going on between you and...Malfoy?"
Hermione nearly blushed at the comment...
"Oh, no!...me and that filthy worm?!...no." Hermione smiled reasurringly.
Ginny smiled then said, "Good." and turned on her heel and then vanished.
Hermione sat there for a minute. Thinking of why Malfoy would help her?
'He thinks I'm a mudblood?..why would he do this for me?...oh! I wonder how much he saw?'
She layed back down to sleep.
(Out of the Hospital)
"Are you strong enough for the test today Hermione?...I mean, you only came out dis-morning?" Harry asked concerned.
"Oh, sure I am!...but..err." She remembered the encounter with Snape.
She started to blush.
"Hermione?...are..are you Ok?...you look a bit pink?"
"Oh..it's nothing...don't worry this test will be a breeze." she put a hand to Harry's back.
"Oh, and thankyou for your concern of me...you're a really loyal friend Harry." She smiled as Harry looked down at his feet.
"Oh...it was scarey how they discribed it to me...I mean, did you really do that?"
Hermione stopped in mid walk and so did Harry.
"How did they discribe it?"
"Well...Fred and George said that you fell over in the shower because you saw a cockroach and you hit your chin on the handle?..that would hurt."
"(Laughs)...oh, no...uh, err...yes, that's what happened...I was so clumsy." Hermione corrected herself...she didn't want Harry to know what really happened..but she thought Fred and George could've made it a bit more less embarrassing.
"Well...make sure you don't have any Cockroaches around huh?" Harry smiled.
"Yeah, sure."
(Potions)
"Granger?...what were you doing lying in the shower with your clothes on sleeping?...oh, err...(Looks at Crabbe and Goyle)...I mean, did the poor little mudblood lose her balance?" Draco mocked as his two bodyguards sniggered.
"Shut it pigs sweat!" Harry announced angrily.
Draco's eyes widened.
"Oh, well you two were probably doing 'IT' in the bathroom and she fell over because your eh hem...wasn't strong enough to hold her so she fell off." Draco laughed loudly at his smart remark.
"Sod off!" Hermione stepped in.
"Language Granger!" Draco said after he had stopped re-enacting the scene in his head.
"There will be no talking from now!...that means you Ms Granger...Potter." Snape snarled as the students took their seats next to their cauldrons that were steaming.
"As you can see...the ingredients are next to you that you will or will not require in this test." he began.
"Granger...I will have a word with you outside...no scarface..clear?" Draco whispered across to her.
"Crystal." Hermione replied without looking at him.
Next Chapter will be up soon!
