Okay now in the last chapter as you know she fainted. Now for all you who may think this. Let me get this out of the way. NO SHE'S NOT PREGANT! Just wanted to clear that up really quickly. Don't want people to think that she is a bit of hooch. Hope you enjoy the chapter. Review when your done please!

Draco: You know, you sounded like a mom there.

Angelfire1589: That was sick demented joke right?

Draco: No you did.

Angelfire1589: (Tackles him.)

Chapter 6: A Little Competition Never Hurt Anyone. (Okay that bullshit.)

Hermione's POV

I woke up the worried faces of Draco and Severus. I personally didn't want to see either of them right now. "Poppy..." I groaned. Trying to sit up. Each Severus and Draco each grabbed an arm. While Poppy came out of nowhere and fixed the pillows behind my back properly. Then gave me a couple of pills and some water. "What happened?" I said after I downed the water.

"You passed out sweetie," she said quietly. "Probably to much stress on you at the moment." she said taking the glass from me.

I noticed Draco bow his head out of the corner of my eye. I knew he was thinking it was his fault right now. And in a technicality it was. But that wasn't the point. He didn't need to feel bad about what had happened to me. I took his hand into mine. He looked up at me. I smiled warmly and he smiled back.

My guess was that Severus had noticed our hands though. Cause he excused himself, and left quickly. I watched him go. Now feeling bad about him too. What's with me? First I'm mad at all males in the world. Now I'm feeling sorry for them. I hate being 18. (A/N now I was saying this at 13. imagine what at 18...)

I tried to get. It wasn't of my best ideas yet. Pain surged through my whole body. I had to lie back down. The last thing I heard before passing out was Poppy's voice saying to Draco that he should go because I needed rest. (A/N hmm. Maybe I made Poppy a little too sweet.

Draco's POV

I went down to Professor Snape's office. Poppy had asked me to go check on him, cause he seemed slightly, (A/N I think that I'm using the word 'slightly' to much. Maybes it's just me.distressed when he had left. Personally I didn't want to go. But it was my guess that Poppy was telling me more asking me to do so.

Finally I had reached his office. He was sitting at his desk reading over his lessons I was guessing. At a point I thought that I should go and was about to when Professor Snape said. "Are you going to stand there the whole time or are you going to say something, Mr. Malfoy."

I turned around to see him now looking up at me. I could tell he wasn't too happy with me. I don't know why, but he hadn't seemed happy with me since I got here. "Uh, yeah." I said. "Madme Pomfrey told me to come check on you, but seeing how you're fine. I guess I should be-" he cut me off.

"Sit down Mr. Malfoy." He snapped. I walked over and quickly sat down. This didn't seem like one of his usual pep talks for the Slytherin. (A/N uh... does he even give pep talks for Slytherin. Hmm. Not to sure on that one. Professor Snape pulled up a chair and sat across from me. I smiled uneasily. He just glared.

"Is there something you wanted professor?" I asked backing my chair up slightly. I didn't want to be within arms reach of this man right now.

"Yes, as a matter of fact there is." He said with a frightening smile on his face. "I wanted to have a little conversation with you about your... social standings with Miss Granger?" He asked.

I looked at him. I wasn't completely sure what he meant when he said that. I took a wild guess at it. "Uh, we're friends. If that's what you're asking." I said. Professor Snape nodded his head.

"So your relationship with miss granger is strictly platonic, am I correct?" he said. I was starting to the point to this conversation, and it wasn't something I really wanted to discuss with him.

"Uh, sure." I said. Now fidgeting around in my seat. Why did he want to talk about this?

"So you two have never reached sexual horizons?" came his next question. I choked on air. That was defiantly not something I wanted to discuss with him!

"Are you asking me if we've ever giving each an orgasm?!" I choked out. This conversation was taking an elevator straight to hell.

"Mr. Malfoy. Is I were you I would watch what I say." He said. "Now please answer the question."

"Uh, look I have to go. I don't really feel right talking about this with you." I said. Getting up. He got up as well.

"Fine. But you remember this Mr. Malfoy." He whispered deathly soft. "It only takes one mistake to get you kicked out of school. So I would be careful, if I were you." (A/N I'm pretty sure you can't get kicked out of there for getting freak on. He's just trying to scare him.

I took a step closer to him. "Yeah, well you might want to remember something there professor." He raised an eyebrow in question. "You're- not- me. So you can keep you're threats to yourself." I hissed looking him directly in the eye and him looking right back at me.

Then he shot back. "I'm not threatening you Mr. Malfoy. I'm promising you."

Ohhh. Tension... Well that's the end of chapter 6. I hope you liked it. This is one of my favorite chapters. I decided to give Draco a little more time in there. The story was revolving a little too much around Hermione. It is mainly about her. But Draco and Professor Snape have to have their parts too. I'm pretty sure that Severus seemed like an all around bastard in this chapter. But don't count him out yet. Well I'll be putting some new twists on the story soon. It's going to make you want to kill me most likely. But hey, its life. Make sure you tell me what you thought of this chapter please. I would really luv to know. So review please. Well gotta go! See ya!
