The teachers were busy trying to cover up the whole thing and quite frankly were doing a horrible job. The news of the kidnapping, psycho, and death thing was spreading fast. The news soon got tot he ministry.

When Arthur found out he immediately went to Hogwarts to see if the news was true.

He apparated into Dumbledore's office minutes after receiving the news.

"Dumbledore this news about Ron it isn't true right?"

"Hello Arthur I wish you didn't hear the news this way, but yes it is true. Ron is being sent away to Azkaban later today."

"No it can't be true, Ron, no never, not him. First Percy now this. Oh god what is our family turning into?"

Mr. Weasly sat down scratching his head and staring blankly at Dumbledore's desk.

"Water?"

"Please," Arthur said dryly.

He reached for the empty glass that soon had been filled with water.

"Where is he now?"

"In his room under a safe watch, you can go see him if you wish."

"I think I will talk to him and try to make some sense of this so at least I'll know what to say to Molly when she finds out," Arthur said fidgeting uncomfortably.

Mr. Weasly left to go see his son.

When he reached his room after much persuading the guards that he was in fact his father and not some accomplice he went in.

Ron was sitting staring out he window tapping his finders on he dusty wooden window frame.

"Son I have to ask, why?"

"I dunno I just woke up one morning and decided to go and kidnap someone and she was right there so I figured she'd do," he said calmly.

"Oh," he said rather frightened.

"I'm kidding, geez what do you think I'm really that crazy?"

"Well it's hard to tell now."

"Why are you here?" Ron asked bored.

"To try and save my son from an eternal life in Azkaban."

"What are you going to do bust me out?"

"No, try and explain to the judge why you did this if I can find some liable reason."

"Oh well sorry there isn't one."

"Son what happened tell me?"

Ron suddenly turned his head and looked his father in the eyes fiercely. His eyes were a blazing red colour like fire.

"Leave me alone!"

Arthur was bewildered and quickly got up from his chair and looked at his son once more before taking his departure.

Meanwhile Hermione was in the hospital wing playing wizard's chess with Harry.

Mme. Pomphrey came to her and gave her, her medicine. She drank it reluctantly.

"Ms Granger you can leave the hospital wing this after noon if you feel up to it."

"Great I really need to catch up on my homework, I hate being behind."

"That's my Hermione," Harry said teasingly.

After lunch Harry walked her back to her room. He waited in he living room while she changed.

She came out with her hair in California curls, warn out and ripped brown hip huggers and a black vintage tee with AC DC written across it. She put on black flip flops and sat down beside Harry.

"Thanks for sticking around and not trying to kill me," she said laughing.

"No prob that's what friends do."

"So who are you dating now?"

"Why do you assume I'm always dating someone?"

"Well being the sexy handsome handy man and all I just figured," Hermione said in a mock tone.

"Yes you are right no girl could refuse me," Harry said arrogantly.

They both burst out laughing. When they were done Hermione got up and spoke.

"I'm famished let's go eat."

"Just what I was thinking."

They both got up to leave but then Hermione stopped and looked Harry deep in the eyes.

"Thanks for all that you've done you don't know how much it means to me. I'm lucky to have a great friend like you," She leaned in and kissed him lightly but he deepened it and put his arms around her waist.

She pulled away and spoke.

"Harry I'm still a little hurt from he whole ordeal and I'm insecure, right now I need a friend not a boyfriend. After this whole thing has blown over we can try if you're still interested but not now."

He looked at her and smiled.

"Sure, I'm here for you Mione."

Draco sat in his room and finally built up the courage to tell her the truth. He got up and went to the lunchroom to grab her some food but ran into her on the way there. She was with Potter.

"Hermione I need to talk to you."

"Hold on Harry I'll be there in a sec I need to take care of some things," Hermione said.

Harry nodded and left.

"Listen Hermione, I've done something horrible. I know I haven't been the ideal boyfriend lately but I-

"Draco who said you were my boyfriend? This whole thing was a huge mistake. It was just lust, I got a little excited and did stupid things and you're right you weren't a good supposed boyfriend and you never will be I know that now."

"Wait how can you say it was a mistake? I changed for you I came here to tell you that I slept with Pansy and you just jump to conclusions?"

"My point exactly if we were an item I believe that what one calls unfaithful. I can really see the changes, bye Malfoy let's just go back to the way things were before," and with that she left.

"Wait that came out wrong, let me explain! Hermione!" Draco yelled after her but it was not good, she was a plane that had already taken flight.
