Chapter Ten: Who Hurt Hermione?
"What???" Harry exclaimed. "Where???"
"In the mess hall!" Drake replied. "She went into the kitchen and someone attacked her!"
Harry turned to Ron. "Come on, let's go!"
They ran as fast as their magical little wizard feet would take them. They arrived at the kitchen to find Hermione sitting on the ground, moaning in pain.
"What happened to you??" Harry asked.
Hermione gave another moan before she answered. "I was just –"
"OMYMERLIN YOU'RE ALIVE!!!" Ron cried in a high-pitched voice, glomping her.
"Ow! Don't!" Hermione whimpered, grabbing her arm.
Harry gasped. "You're bleeding!" he said, looking at her arm.
"I know," she said, wincing. "I was just walking into the kitchen, when someone stabbed me with a piece of glass. I didn't catch who they were."
"That's horrible!" Ron said, crying.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Oh come on, Ron! I'm not dying."
Ron wiped away his tears. "Okay... I have to be strong... for 'Mione..."
"I'll go get Kate," Harry stated. "We just can't ignore this!"
"All right, but do hurry," Hermione said.
Harry speed-walked around the mess hall determinedly. He had no such luck.
"Excuse me," he asked a girl. "Do you know where Kate is?"
"Oh, she's supervising the people who're swimming, out by the lake," the girl told him.
"Thanks," he said, hurrying outside. "Kate!" he called. She didn't hear him. "Kate!" he tried again, still walking towards her.
Finally, she turned around and gave him a friendly wave.
Harry ran over to her. "You've got to come quick, Hermione's been hurt! She's bleeding!"
He didn't have to spell it out for her. Kate quickly followed him to the kitchen, where Hermione was.
"Are you okay?" Kate asked her, reaching for the first-aid kit on the wall.
"I'm bleeding from my arm, is all," Hermione replied. She glanced at the first-aid kit. "Please don't tell me you're going to heal it in a long, painful, muggle –"
Kate cut her off by simply shaking a bottle of magical ointment slightly, raising her eyebrows.
Hermione blushed. "Oh, sorry,"
"Let me see," Kate said, taking Hermione's arm. "Oooh, that looks serious." She said. She dabbed a bit of the ointment on the cut, and it healed instantly.
Harry remembered something. "Are those phoenix tears?"
Kate nodded. "Watermelon flavoured," she replied, smelling the top of the bottle. "You're pretty sharp to realize that, Harry."
"Er, thanks," He replied.
She turned back to Hermione. "You'd better go back to your cabin and get some rest."
Hermione nodded, getting up and heading to her cabin. 'Thank you."
Kate looked at Harry and Ron. "And you two should find something to do." She said, and left.
"Well, I want to go see what Drake is doing," Ron said. "He's been here before, he must know everything."
"You go on, I'll catch up," Harry said. After Ron had left, Harry went over to the watermelon flavoured phoenix tears. He took a long sniff. "Mmmm."
"Hello, Potter," Someone said.
"Drake?" Harry asked, turning around. But instead his eyes meeting Drake's warm brown eyes, he found Draco's cold, grey ones instead. "Oh,"
"Never did catch that glass-stabber, did they?" Draco said.
"It's only been 15 minutes, they'll catch him or her sooner or la –"
"Him,"
"Are you implying something?"
"What do you think?"
"..."
"It was a boy who hurt Hermione!"
"What?? Which one?"
"Take a wild guess,"
Harry thought for a moment, and then gasped.
Draco gave an evil smile. "That's right, Potter! It was -"
"I can't believe Seamus would do something like that!"
"..."
"Ugh! I'll hurt him!"
Draco just shook his head. "It was me!"
Harry's jaw dropped. "You????"
"Yes, it was me! I did it!"
"But why!?"
"Remeber a few nights ago, when everyone was playing Twirl the Can?"
"Actually, it's Spin the -"
"And when Hermione and I chased Ron into the kitchen?"
"..."
"She stabbed me with a piece of glass!"
"So what?"
"I got my revenge! She stabbed me, I stabbed her!"
"How mature of you,"
Draco just gave an evil smile. "See you around, Scarhead," and he left.
Harry shrugged. "At least I found something to do for free time," and he left as well.
A/N: Sorry for making Harry stupid in that one part, but otherwise it wouldn't of been as fun :). Don't worry, Hermione'll live. I don't think Ron would have it any other way. Thanks for reading! I haven't said what colour hair/eyes Kate has, so just out of curiousity, what have you been picturing all this time?
