Hermione stood in front of the 3 members of staff, with a beat root face.
"N-n-nothing Professor." She lied and put her head down as the look she received from Professor McGonagall was nothing more than a 'Right...'
At this point Ron was still lay on the floor looking up at Hermione as he hadn't even noticed who had entered. Hermione kicked him and raised her eyebrows in the direction of the professors; he spun round and jumped up straight away only to collapse from dizziness and immense pain!
"Oh Gosh Ron!!!" Hermione dived for him, propped him up and ran for a wet flannel from the bathroom to put on his head. "Madam Pomfrey what's going on?! This has been happening repeatedly!!" Hermione was on the verge of tears, she knew he'd get better but just say he didn't?
"Move aside Miss Granger" Madam Pomfrey pushed Hermione, a little to roughly than intended, away from Ron and started to inspect him and magick potions to her while trying to get Ron to swallow it.
'Please Ron, don't die' was all that was going through her mind, her heart had dropped to her toes, and before she knew what was happening she was crying in the corner of the room with McGonagall's arm around her shoulders.
"Yes, this is the worse part of the week for Ron now, the bug in his brain is on the move out, but it will be painful and slow, there's nothing we can do except keep him in bed and keep Miss Granger by his side." Madam Pomfrey sighed.
Hermione stood up and wiped the tears from her face and said "He will be ok though, won't he?" Dumbledore who had been silent through all this coughed and replied to Hermione.
"Oh course Miss Granger, Madam Pomfrey is one of the best medically train witches around, she said he will be ok and he will." Hermione did her best to smile at this as the 3 adults left the room talking quietly; she closed the door behind them and went to sit next to Ron on his bed.
He opened his eyes as she sat down and smiled, a very painful version of his sweet crooked grin he usually had. He tried to sit up but winced in pain and fell back again. "No, stay lay down Ron, i don't want anything happening to you!" Hermione smiled at his as she stared into his deep green eyes. 'Oh why did the teachers come in at that precise moment, we'd kissed! But it barely lasted a second; I bet Ron was glad they came in'
Ron had lifted his hand up and stroked her cheek as she was thinking this; she snapped herself out of it and smiled sheepishly at him. 'I wonder if he feels the same as me...' she thought.
Before she knew what she was doing, she gripped him and kissed him!!!
