(A/N at the end, I know, none of you can wait!)
Draco was lying on the ground, the gash on his arm was bleeding heavily, a puddle of blood surrounded him. She, at first, thought he was out cold, but she ran over to him, and heard him moaning softly.
"Draco! Draco! Oh my God, wake up! Oh my God, Draco!" She looked frantically around, and dashed to the fireplace. She took some dust from the urn from the mantle, and threw it in.
"Professor Snape! Professor Snape, please come quickly, it's. it's Draco! Please!"
She ran back over to Draco. She knelt down beside him, and took his head and neck in her arms. She looked around, frustrated.
"Accio water! Accio robe!" A large jug of water flew in, as well as one of Hermione's new black robes. Working quickly, she tore off a large strip of robe and placed it over the wound. She held the water to Draco's mouth.
"Here, you have to drink this!" She looked down at Draco, who suddenly stopped moaning. He was barely breathing.
"Oh my God! Where is Snape?" She looked around, feeling helpless. "HELP! PLEASE SOME ONE HELP ME!!!"
Suddenly, their door burst open, Snape swooped in, followed by Dumbledore.
They walked over to her, and Snape knelt on the floor next to Draco and Hermione. Hermione looked at Snape with large, helpless eyes, and suddenly burst in to tears.
"I.I.I just came back and he was. here, and I just." She sobbed even more.
Dumbledore placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, Hermione, it was wise of you to call Professor Snape. Please let go of Draco, we have to take him to the Hospital Wing."
Hermione slowly put Draco's head back on the floor and stood up, shaking. Snape pointed his wand at Draco, who rose slowly off the floor. He turned and looked at Hermione. After sizing her up for a moment, he motioned for her to follow him.
The four people quickly made their way up to the Hospital Wing. When Snape set Draco down on a cot, Madame Pomfrey came in. She took her wand, and examined Draco thoroughly for about five minutes. No one said a word or moved a muscle.
She let out a deep breath, and turned to Dumbledore. "Headmaster, I need some one trained in this, I can't possibly. Should I call M.."
Snape cut her off, "Call whomever you need, he needs help quickly, though."
Madame Pomfrey left the room. Dumbledore turned to Hermione.
"Miss Granger, you must understand that you can't."
"I know, sir, I won't tell anyone. But I, I want to stay here for the night."
Snape and Dumbledore looked at eachother, and finally nodded.
"That will be fine. I must ask that you go to dinner in a few minutes, though. No exceptions, people will know something is wrong, and that is surely not what we need. But you may come back after."
Hermione nodded, "Yes, Headmaster."
Madame Pomfrey bustled back in to the room. "She's on her way, Albus. She's apparating immediately."
"But," Hermione broke in, "you can't apparate or disapparate."
"Yes, well, Miss Granger, not all things in Hogwarts: A History are 100% accurate," Dumbledore smiled.
Suddenly, Hermione heard a great 'Pop!' she turned and was very surprised to see Mrs. Weasley there.
"Mrs. Weasley?"
"Oh, hello dear. You didn't really think the only thing I knew how to do was be a housewitch, did you? Now, let me see Mister Malfoy." She walked over to Draco and pursed her lips.
"He's lost a lot of blood. More than he can regenerate safely."Mrs. Weasley cryptically looked up at Dumbledore.
"Of course, Molly, I understand. Now, Miss Granger, you go down to the Great Hall with Professor Snape. I'll stay here with Molly. Miss Granger, you may come back at 7:00," Dumbledore said.
Hermione nodded, and left the room with Snape. They walked silently until they reached the doors of the Great Hall.
"Miss Granger, despite what Draco says sometimes, he really does respect you. And because he most likely won't say it, thank you. You truly saved his life."
Snape pushed open the doors, and walked towards the Slytherin table, Hermione towards Gryffindor. She reminded herself to act as if nothing was wrong.
"Hey, Mione, what were you doing with Snape?" Harry inquired.
"Oh, nothing, we just happened to walk in at the same time, that's all," she said, reaching for the potatoes.
Harry leaned over, "So," he whispered, "you gonna make it up to me any time soon?" He winked at her.
'Maybe a nice long snogfest with Harry is just what I need' she thought, and smiled at Harry.
The three began eating, talking about Quidditch and Hogsmeade, Hermione made herself interested in whatever they had to say, because she knew how well they could read her, and didn't want to make them suspicious.
"Oh, I've got to run to the library. My Potions grade isn't so hot," Ron said. "So I'll see you two later!"
Hermione looked at Harry. "Why don't we just go now?" She smiled at him, and grabbed his arm. She led him down the corridor to an abandoned classroom.
"Come on, Harry!"
They walked in to the classroom. As soon as she shut the door, Harry had his arms around her waist. He placed his lips over hers, and they began softly kissing. 'He certainly knows what he's doing!' He began kissing down her neck, running his hands through her hair.
"I sure hope Malfoy's got something to busy himself with," Harry said quietly into Hermione's hair.
"Hmmm?"
"Just don't want any interruptions from the Dragon, Mione."
Hermione suddenly broke away with a start, "Oh, no, Draco! I completely forgot, I have to go Harry."
Harry looked at her in disbelief, "Are you kidding me?"
"No, I'm really sorry. I'll come to see you if I get back early enough, ok? Promise! I'm sorry, I have to go," she said, as she pulled Harry out the door. She gave Harry a quick kiss and looked apologetically at him, turned and sped off. Harry watched her retreating form, shook his head, and made his way back to Gryffindor Tower.
'Ohhhh, how could I have forgotten? Stupid hormones. And Harry's going to know something is wrong, I just know it, and I'll have to lie and. oh why didn't I just come straight back?'
Hermione swung open the door to the Hospital Wing. She quietly walked back to where Mrs. Wealsey had Draco, she ducked behind the curtain.
She jumped, and let out a gasp of surprise, the people in room all turned to look at her.
Huddled around Draco's bed were Professor Snape, Dumbledore, Sirius Black, Narcissa Malfoy, and a tiny girl with very blonde pigtails.
The little girl looked at Hermione with her large blue eyes, finally smiling. "Hello!"
