Thoughts

"Words"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first person to find them outside of Hogwarts was Professor Dumbledore. "What happened?" Professor Dumbledore asked, momentarily stopping Harry, Draco, and Hermione from getting to the Infirmary. "Never mind, get him to the Infirmary as fast as possible, I'll talk to Serverus." Hermione and Harry muttered a quick 'thanks' before running into the school. They ran through all of the corridors that Harry could remember had shortcuts in them.

"Take a left and we are there," Harry told Hermione as they rounded the corner as fast as possible while not hurting Ron any further. All the while, Draco kept thinking that it was his fault. If I hadn't have fought with Potter than Ron wouldn't be in this condition. Damn Potter for blocking my spell with his. Draco's thoughts were interrupted when Hermione and Harry yelled for Madame Pomfrey.

"Madame Pomfrey!" Hermione yelled as she knocked on a closed door. Right after she did, if opened quickly and a tired Madame Pomfrey walked out.

"Yes dear?" Madame Pomfrey asked as she looked around the room with clouded eyes. Well, they were clouded until she saw Ron. "Oh, my. Put him on a bed quickly, then I need you three to leave while I tend to him." Harry and Draco put Ron's bleeding form gently down on the nearest bed and they all walked out of the Infirmary so she could help Ron. Right when they left, they were met with the sight of Professor Snape and Dumbledore.

"It seems that you couldn't finish a simple detention without fighting each other," Snape said, particularly looking at Hermione and Harry. "Though I believe Mister Weasley has been punished enough, what should be done with you?" All three of them knew what Snape was capable of so they lowered their heads and looked at their feet.

"I believe that they have been punished enough," Dumbledore said, causing Draco, Harry, and Hermione to raise their heads in surprise. "Come Serverus, lets leave them to visit their friend once Madame Pomfrey is finished." Harry, Hermione, and Draco watched them leave together and when they were out of site, Harry began to pace.

"I hope Ron will be fine," Hermione whispers to herself as she starts to bite her lower lip. Draco let his mind wander on its own while he leaned against the corridor wall. Just as Harry began to mutter to himself, the door opened and Madame Pomfrey stepped out.

"You can visit him now," Madame Pomfrey said as she held the door open for them to enter. "Normally, I have no more than two per visit…but I think that I'll make an exception this time." After everyone was in the room, Madame Pomfrey closed the door. Draco, Harry, and Hermione crowded around Ron. Ron was less pale than he was earlier, his chest was heavily bandaged though. "It took a while for me to fix his insides, may I ask what happened?"

"I'll tell you," Hermione said as she began with the beginning. When she was done, Madame Pomfrey told her that they had better get some sleep if they were going to make it through their classes tomorrow. Hesitantly, they left. During the night, Draco kept having nightmares of what happened to Ron and that it was his entire fault. Hermione got a few hours of dreamless sleep, while Harry kept thinking that it was his fault until he fell unconscious on the couch.

Harry woke to the sound of Seamus laughing. He quickly remembered what happened the night before and ran down to the Infirmary. He saw Draco and Hermione talking to Madame Pomfrey, no…wait…Draco was yelling at her, Hermione was doing the talking. "What's going on?" Harry asked Hermione when he was close enough.

"Ron's missing! Draco blames it on Madame Pomfrey," Hermione told Harry. After a while, Draco had finally calmed down enough to talk instead of scream, after Hermione threatened to turn him back into a bouncing, white ferret. Madame Pomfrey told them that she had woken up in the morning to an empty Infirmary. Draco kept muttering under his breath that she was a twat for not locking the doors, or at least strapping Ron to the mattress. He stopped when he saw Harry and Hermione starring at him with wide eyes.

"What?" Draco asked, starting to become irritated.

"You called Ron by his first name," Hermione said as she and Harry continued to stare at him.

"No I didn't," Draco said, realizing that he said that out loud.

"Yes, I think you did," Harry said. Madame Pomfrey rolled her eyes at the way they were acting and went back to the Infirmary.

"You're hearing things, Potter," Draco replied, not yet willing to admit it.

"Yes you did…and come to think about it, your eyes were filled with fear when Ron was hit with that spell," Hermione replied, starting to understand that Draco had feelings for Ron.

"You both are delusional," Draco said, not liking the 'all-knowing' look in Hermione's eyes.

"I think I know why, and maybe where Ron went," Harry said.
