"What on earth are you two doing out of bed and in the Great Hall, at this our?" came the voice of professor McGonagall.
"Oh, we-we were just," started Hermione, but was interrupted.
"Yes, well whatever it was you were doing I'm afraid you will have to stop and head back to your dormitories." Harry could've sworn he saw her smile as she said this.
"Yes professor." Said Hermione blushing. Harry waved his wand making the candles disappear and they walked out of the Great Hall. When they were out of McGonagall's view, Hermione grabbed Harry's hand and they walked back up to the common room, smiling.
When they got there they said goodnight, kissed and went to bed.
Harry got into bed sat his glasses down, and was just lying down when he heard someone speak.
"So where did you go?" It was Ron. Harry sat up and saw that Ron was awake in his bed. Harry told him all about where he had gone and what had happened when he replied, "Well, congratulations mate! I'm happy that you two are finally together."
"Thanks, me too. Well goodnight then." And Harry rolled over with a huge smile on his face.
"Goodnight." Ron said and they both instantly fell asleep. . . . . .
When everyone had come back from Holiday, some how the news of Harry and Hermione had spread fairly fast. Mostly everyone seemed to think it was great. Almost every girl, it seemed, would have a fit of giggles every time they would walk by, and Harry could've sworn he got several winks from random guys. Everyone seemed to think the relationship was just fine, except, of course, Malfoy. The first day he got back, when he saw Harry and Hermione holding hands in the hall, he exclaimed loudly, "Wow Potter, that is an all time low, dating a mudblood. It was bad enough just being her friend, but I guess that's the only way you can actually get a girl, isn't it Potter, dating your best friend." All the Slytherins around him shrieked with laughter. To everyone's surprise, Hermione responded with, "At least he's got a girlfriend Malfoy, I don't see any girls lining up to be with you, but then again I don't think I know any girls who fancy ugly gits like you." The smirk on Malfoy's face faded and he said, "How dare you! You'll pay for that, mudblood." And he whipped out his wand, but before he could do anything with it a voice came from behind them.
"What is going on here?" It was Snape Jr.
Malfoy quickly put away his wand and said, "Oh nothing professor."
"Causing trouble again Mr. Malfoy? I think 5 points from Slytherin will do. You should really try to stay out of trouble, I would expect more from a prefect." This made Malfoy furious and he stalked away past Harry and Hermione, stopped for a moment and said, "I'll finish with you later." And then strode off.
"You two ought to stay out of trouble too." He gave them a wink and said, " Glad to see you back to yourself Miss Granger." And with a smile walked off.

A week had gone by and Harry was happy as ever with Hermione. They spent almost all their time together. Ron had gotten a bit annoyed with all the kissing so he had been spending more time with Neville and Seamus. He was still happy for them just the same though.
Tonight was Ron and Hermione's turn to do the night prefect duties at 7 o'clock. At 6:45 they got their badges out and said goodbye to Harry.
"Meet you back here when we're done." Said Ron.
"Okay, bye."
"Bye Harry, see you later." Said Hermione giving him a kiss.
"See you later." Harry said with a smile. Hermione smiled back and gave him another kiss and then left with Ron.
"Do you want to check the lower floors and I will check the upper ones? That way it will go faster." Suggested Ron.
"Yes, that's a good idea. We'll meet back here when we're done then." And they were off.
Hermione went through the fourth floor; all clear. Then the third floor, clear as well, but it was on the second floor where she found trouble.
She turned a corner to enter the second floor and found herself face to face with none other then Draco Malfoy.
"What are you doing down here?" she snapped.
"Same as you, prefect duties." He replied with a hiss.
Before Hermione could say anything back, Malfoy had pulled out his wand and muttered something. At once Hermione felt her arms sting with numbness. She went to reach for her wand, only to find that her arms had been petrified. She could not move them at all.
"I told you that you'd pay. We'll see if you ever try and say something like that to me again after I'm done with you." He gave his wand another wave and muttered something else. Hermione shot back with a scream, hit her head hard on the brick wall all fell unconscious to the floor.
Malfoy heard footsteps and made a run for it. Just as he was out of site, Sebastian Snape rounded the corner and then froze. "Hermione." He exclaimed nervously and walked towards her. "What the hell?" He said to himself out loud. He turned her over and picked her up, carrying her, at first, to the Hospital Wing, but then turned and headed for his office.
When he got there he sat her down on his couch, conjured up a bottle of something to wake her, with a flick of his wand, and poured a few drops of the liquid onto her lips. Hermione woke up with a start. Her vision very blurry at first, but then it came clearer. She looked around her, and then saw Snape looking at her.
"What's going on?" she demanded, very suspicious to why she was in his office.
"I found you unconscious on the second floor, so I took you back here." He said softly, and with another wave of his wand an ice pack appeared out of nowhere and he placed it on top of her head where there was a large cut.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
Hermione suddenly felt very uncomfortable. "Yes I'm fine. Thanks for everything but I really must get to bed." She said taking the ice pack off her head and walking towards the door.
"Are you sure you don't want me to take you to the Hospital Wing for that cut? It looks pretty nasty, you must be in a lot of pain."
"No I am fine, goodnight professor." She lied and walked out of his office and then ran to the common room. Her head was aching so bad it made her dizzy to run, but she wanted to get there.
Once she got to the portrait hole she muttered the password quickly and then stumbled inside. She saw Ron and Harry sitting by the fire and instantly walked over to them flopping herself down onto the couch next to Harry.
"Hermione!" said Ron. "There you are-wait, what happened?" He said, a sudden look of worry washed over his face.
"Are you okay? You look sick." Said Harry looking even more concerned.
Hermione told them the whole story and when she had finished they both looked furious.
"That stupid git! Where the bloody hell did he get the idea that he could get off doing that to you? Said Ron in a rage.
"I can't believe he did that," said Harry. "I hope he really gets it good for that. What did Snape say when you told him it was Malfoy?"
It suddenly struck Hermione. "Oh, well I didn't exactly tell him how it happened, I mean, my head really hurt and I just wanted to get out." She replied.
"What!" exclaimed Ron, "You better tell him tomorrow if you can, there is no way he's getting away with this one."
"I will." Said Hermione. "I think I am going to go to bed, my head really hurts and I'm tired. Goodnight."
"Goodnight" said Ron.
"I'll walk you to the staircase" said Harry, getting up with Hermione as Ron shook rolled his eyes and went to go play chess with Seamus.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Harry asked Hermione putting his arms around her, delicately pulling her into a hug.
"I'm fine." She said in his ear, kissing him softly on the neck. "Goodnight." Harry leaned in and kissed her. As he watched Hermione walk up the stairs he suddenly realized just how much he cared for her. As she was closing the door to her dormitory, he muttered quietly, "I love you."
