Chapter Eleven – Silence Is Golden But Shouting Is Fun
Harry and Draco finally reached Griffindor common room and suddenly Draco was beginning to think that maybe this wasn't such a good idea. He wasn't sure that leaving his room at all had been a good idea. "I don't really wanna go in there. Hanging out with all of you would be cool, but I think some people might object to me walking into your common room."
Just as he finished speaking, Neville walked out of the common room and stopped dead. To say the very least he was a little worried to be so close to a Slytherin, especially Draco. Harry giggled at the look on Neville's face. "Hey are Ron and Hermione about anywhere?" he asked, fighting the urge to laugh as Neville replied, never taking his eyes off of Draco.
"Ron? Hermione? No they're not here. They're in the hospital wing. Hermione had a bit of an accident, well, it was Ron's fault but, yeah, they're in the hospital wing."
"Thanks Neville." Draco said kindly, he couldn't stand the way the poor boy was trying to edge past him. He grabbed Harry's hand and they walked off toward the hospital wing. "What do you think has happened to her?" Draco asked curiously.
"Well the last time they ended up in the hospital wing was because Ron poisoned Hermione with a gone wrong sleeping potion. God only knows what he's done to her this time." Harry said shaking his head as they walked down a flight of stairs that brought them to the hospital wing. Ron was sitting on the floor outside with his head in his hands. "What have you done to her now?"
Ron looked up, and completely ignored Draco altogether. "It was supposed to be romantic, how was I supposed to know that things would go wrong. I guess I should have known seeing as it was me who planned it. Things always go wrong when I plan ahead."
"Just tell us what you did." Harry said softly, sitting on the floor next to Ron. Draco settled down on the other side of Ron, but he was still being ignored.
"Well I thought it would be nice if I took her out of a flight. You know, flying at sunset, gold and red puffy clouds, romantic. But it rained on us. Then when it stopped raining, she was still okay, and said it wasn't my fault and that we should just fly around for a bit and hope that the last rays of the sun could dry us off. And that's when it happened..." Ron said dramatically.
"Well go on then, what happened?!" Harry questioned, he was really getting into this story.
"There was a bird. Just the one, and it flew past, and she said she wished that she could have wings and fly. So I was holding onto her with one arm and holding onto the broom with the other and she stretched out her arms and pretended she was flying. But then there were many birds. She opened her eyes as they flew at her and she fell off the broom." He finished, he looked utterly traumatised.
"Don't worry Ron, I'm sure she'll forgive you. She forgave you for poisoning her. She must like you if she can forgive you for poisoning her."
"Thanks Malfoy, that's nice of... wait a minute... Malfoy?!" Ron shouted and jumped to his feet.
"Take it easy fly boy, he wants to be friends, that's why we came to find you. We went up to the common room and were told that you would be here. So ::please:: don't make a scene out of this." Harry said pleadingly and Ron gave a half-hearted smile.
"Alright then, if you say so." He held out his hand to Draco and Draco took it. "I am going to be polite and hold a truce with you until I decide if I want you to be my friend." Ron said, as if he was royalty. They shook and smiled at one another.
Madame Pomphrey put her head round the door. "She's still unconscious, but you can come in if you like. Maybe she will recognise your voices and it will speed up her recovery." She said softly and the three of them followed her inside. Ron sat on the edge of Hermione's bed and smiled at her.
"I am so sorry Hermione. It was supposed to be romantic. You weren't supposed to fall off. I didn't do it on purpose." He rambled. Harry and Draco looked one another, then down at Hermione. Her eyes snapped open and she glared at Ron. If looks could kill, he would have fallen off the edge of the bed very much dead.
"Don't give me none of that you little ferret! You didn't even try and catch me! You just watched me fall out of the sky, into a tree, through the tree, into the middle of the Forbidden Forest where I received a spider bite and passed out!!" she screeched.
"I think we'll just wait outside..." Harry said nervously, and he and Draco edged toward the door. Getting Draco and Hermione to be friends could ::defiantly:: wait a while.
"You!" Hermione said, pointing an accusing finger at Harry. "Where the hell have you been all day? You're supposed to be guarding him and making sure that he doesn't do anything stupid like take me flying in dim light above the Forbidden Forest!!" she shouted.
"Well Draco and me were just talking and..." but he didn't even get a chance to finish.
"DRACO!" she roared and the poor little blonde felt the need to hide behind Harry as she rounded on him. "Hiding in your room, not getting an education, barely eating. Who do you think you are, the invincible man?! For God sake go and feed yourself and learn something productive!"
"Okay, Hermione, we're leaving. You seem a little upset and..." but poor Harry was cut off again as Hermione started screaming and crying.
"A little upset?! You'd be upset too if you got poisoned and attacked by birds and fell of a broom and saw Snape and Mr Malfoy... oh God I'm scarred for life! All I did was walk into the classroom to enquire about an essay, that's all I did!" After that everything became incoherent.
"Oh yeah, I forgot dad was in the castle." Draco said thoughtfully. "Come on, we can go and see him. Then we can see what we're going to do about this situation. He'll probably give up money if he's been at the chocolate again." He added with a grin.
They walked toward the door and Hermione looked up, reaching out a hand as if she were trying to save them. "What ever you do, for the love of God, knock before you enter!!" she managed to squeak before she dissolved again into a fit of tears on Ron's shoulder.
