They ran over to Ron who was sitting on a bed. He was sweating and had bruises all over him. Malfoy had kicked him in the chest and caused him to bleed. Luckily he didn't break any bones but had many cuts. Madam Pomfrey had rapped a bandage around his chest and head. He was also recovering from all the beer he had drunken.
"Ron, oh my goodness, are you feeling better!" Hermione was worried. She put her hand on his chest, "Ouch!" Ron said.
"What were you doing buddy?" Harry asked.
"I don't know. Seamus offered me some beer and I told him no. But then he kept coming back at me. I drank a bottle, then another and another… Then I couldn't remember anything except for Malfoy punching me off the table," Ron said weakly.
"You were talking about me Ron… You told the whole Dining Hall that you were madly in love with me and that we um, made out," Hermione said.
"I'm really sorry… I didn't know what was happening, I really didn't" He kissed her, "will you forgive me?"
"Yes Ron I think she'll forgive you but be more careful next time okay?" Harry replied.
"Yes Ron, you were acting like a complete idiot up there," Hermione laughed, "I heard you were tap dancing too."
Ron turned red. After an hour of talking with Ron Madam Pomfrey told them they should go and let Ron rest. She would let him out of the hospital wing tomorrow morning. So they all hugged and kissed goodbye and Harry and Hemione left to finish classes.
After a busy day Harry and Hermione decided to turn it in for the night. They would see Ron tomorrow morning at breakfast.
Early Saturday morning Hermione and Harry woke up early, and got dressed. They met in the common room. After a quick cup of coffee with milk and sugar they headed down to the Dining Hall. They spotted Ron eating toast with butter and marmite, while reading the Daily Prophet. He put down the paper and waved to Hermione and Harry.
"Hi Ron! Are you feeling better today?" Harry asked.
"Yea, but my head is still hurting a little, luckily, Madam Pomfrey healed my chest in no time, I still have scrapes but it doesn't hurt anymore!" Ron replied.
"Well good, because we missed you even though you were away for only a night," Hermione smiled at him.
"Yes, definitely. Are you guys going to Hogsmeade today? I'm going to buy some new supplies with Ginny," Harry said.
"Oh, sorry Harry um, me and Hermione um, wanted some private time while Hogwarts is pretty much empty for a couple hours," Ron winked at Hermione. She smiled back.
"Okay then! It's fine with me, you two have fun okay?" Harry and Ginny waved goodbye and began to walk off to get the train to Hogsmeade.
Now that Ron and Hermione were alone and many students began to depart for Hogsmeade, they ran to Gryffindor Tower and entered the common room. Ron started a fire and he sat in front of it. Hermione joined him.
"You know 'Mione what I said when I was drunk, I really meant it, even though I didn't know I was saying it… I always have been… Madly in love with you," Ron's ears went red. Hermione blushed and kissed him.
