Synposis: Last chapter, Hermione flipped out over Draco, and Ron came to her assistance. She is currently on her way to tell Harry what's going on!

Hermione surveyed the common room. She saw a few fifth years playing Exploding Snap, and some third years with Gobstones. Hermione decided to go up to the boys's dormitory.

She approached the 7th year boys' door, and knocked.

"Come in." chorused a few voices.

She walked in to find Ron, Dean, Neville, and Seamus crowded in a circle.

"What're you lot doing?" she asked.

"Umm, Harry's gone." Ron said.

"He's WHAT?"

"Well, his uncle Vernon's mum died, and he had to go back to their house. Sirius went with him. I guess they need help taking care of all of her things. He's going to be gone for 10 days. It's all here in this note he left for us, I'd assume he left one for you, too."

"Oh, of course, I haven't even been back in my room since.. since I left it last," she hastily finished, glancing at Ron. "So, I'll just go there now, bye mates."

She walked through the portrait in the common room to her own bedroom. Surely enough, she saw Hedwig perched on her window sill, waiting patiently. She took the letter from the owl. And sat down to open it.

Mione-

I'm sorry to do this by post, but I couldn't find you to tell you. Uncle Vernon's mum has died. Sirius and I are going back to help move all of the things out of her house, and for the funeral. Sirius also wants to visit some old mates of his in London, and introduce me (I didn't tell Dumbledore that part!) So, I should be gone for about 10 days. I'll send Hedwig again in a few days to see how you are. Don't forget that you still need to make it up to me when I get back!! Talk to you soon, Mione.

Yours,

Harry

Hermione sighed. 'At least this gives me a 10-day grace period' she thought. She stood and walked in to the study.

The large puddle of blood was still on the floor next to Draco's chair. At the sight of it, Hermione retched, but held it down. She walked over to the chair.

She knelt down beside the puddle, strangely enough, the blood had not coagulated or dried in the least.

"Well, if they need a sample, they can just take some from him, I suppose." She pointed her wand at the puddle, "Nettoyus Sanguus." Instantly, the blood disappeared.

Standing up, she glanced at Draco's door. Always a curious girl, Hermione decided it wouldn't be too bad if she took a peek.

She walked in, and inhaled deeply the scent of his cologne. She walked over to his dresser, and picked up the bottle.

"Aqua de Gio, must be some Muggle stuff." (A/N: Shameless plug, I love that stuff!!)

Hermione turned and walked towards the bedstand. She sat on his bed, and looked at the picture of him, his mother, and sister. Then, she noticed a large, thinnish book on the shelf, which she picked up.

"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, 1975. Wow, this must be a yearbook! I thought only Muggles had those."

She began leafing through the pages. She saw a few faces she recognized. Narcissa LeFevre in Transfiguration, Lily Evans in Charms, James Potter, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew, all in their fifth year. She turned another page and was very surprised to see a picture of Draco, but upon checking.....

"Lucius Malfoy, Slytherin. God, he looks like he could be Draco's twin."

Hermione shook her head and continued. She smiled at Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Flitwick 20 years younger, and laughed when she came to the picture of Snape, looking sour as ever. But one picture surprised her the most.

"Oh my God! ...He knew!"

Hermione sat staring at a picture of Narcissa and Lily. The caption read "Narcissa LeFevre and Lily Evans, joined at the hip as usual, seen rooting for James Potter and the Gryffindor Quidditch Team!" The two girls sat with their arms around eachothers' shoulders, waving happily at the camera.

Hermione shook her head. "I bet that's why he hasn't bitten off Harry's head yet. His mum doesn't even know, I wonder where he got this."

She was walking out when she realized that Draco was still in his bloody school clothes, and she decided to pick him out something to wear. 'I've never picked out clothes for an unconscious person before' she thought, laughing slightly.

She went over to his wardrobe, and opened a few drawers. 'He has red and gold plaid pants? Oh, I MUST take these!' Hermione thought devilishly. She grabbed a red t-shirt to match, and headed out again. Once more she turned around, and went to his dresser. She took his cologne and his glasses, and finally left.

Back in the hospital wing, Mrs. Malfoy was trying to put Lily to sleep behind a curtained-off bed, and Snape and Mrs. Weasley were sitting on chairs next to Draco's bed.

"Hello, I brought Draco up some clean clothes, Mrs. Weasley."

"Oh, thank you dear." Mrs Weasley replied as Hermione handed her the pants and shirt.

Snape took one look at the clothes, and looked at Hermione with a small smile on his face, "Nice color scheme, Miss Granger."

"Well, we women do have an eye for fashion! I think you'd look nice in those colors, too, Professor!"

"The day I wear red and gold is the day Mr. Longbottom brews a perfect potion."

"May I take your word on that, sir?"

Snape chortled, "Yes, Miss Granger, you may."

They all suddenly heard Mrs. Malfoy's exasperated voice, "No, Lily you may NOT play hide and seek, you have to go to bed!"

Hermione got up and walked over to the bed, and peaked her head around.

"Oh, hello Hermione," Mrs. Malfoy said.

"Hello miss Dwaco's Fwiend!!"

"Hi, Lily! Mrs. Malfoy, may I have a try?"

"Be my guest, dear! Good night, love."

"Night mama!"

Hermione giggled at the little girl, who had the hugest grin on her face.

"Awe you going to play hide and seek with me?"

"No, Lily, I'm not. Do you like songs?"

"I like pwetty songs! But Dwaco doesn't listen to pwetty music, I do not like that."

Hermione laughed, "Well, I know a very pretty song, would you like to hear it?"

"What's it called?"

"In His Eyes, it's from a musical called Jekyll and Hyde."

"Well, if it's pwetty I would like to heaw it, please."

Hermione nodded, and began to sing, softly...



~In his eyes, I can see, where my heart longs to be.~

~In his eyes, I see a gentle glow, and that's where I'll be safe, I know.~

~Safe in his arms, close to his heart, but I don't know quite where to start.~

~By looking in his eyes, will I see beyond tomorrow?~

~By looking in his eyes, will I see beyond the sorrow that I feel?~

~Will his eyes reveal to me promises or lies?~

~But he can't conceal from me the love in his eyes.~

~His eyes, they're like an open book.~

~His eyes, I know their every look.~

~His eyes, and most of all the look that hypnotized me.~

~If I'm wise, I will walk away and gladly.~

~But sadly I'm not wise. It's hard to talk the memories that you prize.~

~Love is worth forgiving for, now I realize.~

~Everything worth living for, is there in his eyes.~

Hermione looked down at the girl fast asleep on the bed, and sighed.

Behind the curtain, Severus Snape, Narcissa Malfoy, and Molly Weasley were all looking at eachother, with a certain expression on their faces.

A/N: Ok, I know this was a biiiit cheesy, but I love that song SO much, and it's pretty fitting, really. I felt like I should put SOMETHING foreshadowing so that you guys know I'm going to get them together!!! I only got 13 reviews on the last chapter, so I think fewer people must be reading now ( But, I'll live! I guess as long as I'm keeping Chrissy, FemenistAngle, Allana Roseguard (Thank you for saying that about making school bearable, that was SO nice!!), allee kat, Squin, and kat happy, then I'm cool. You guys are my faithful reviewers, please don't leave me waaahhhhh. OK, I'm done. So PLEASE r/r all of you people reading this that are htinking "Well, I'm not going to bother to review." Even if you just type in one letter, I'd still appreciate it! (Though I prefer words) So if you love it like it or hate it please tell me! It's tough to write with no encouragement! And here's something, I promise a Hr/D kiss by chapter 16, it might be earlier, but no later, lol! PLEASE R/R I LOVE YOU!!!!
