Samantha Cameron: Yes, the point was for Snape to show even the least bit of care.
Kiie: I know what you mean. Snape is normally cruel, evil and mean, but remember how he plays favorites towards Draco? And Snape, as you will find out later, is Draco's godfather.
Anonymous: Yeah, Draco is completely head over heels for Hermione but he's too afraid to admit it until…
Kais Devil: Don't worry. Hermione will be okay. And I know what you mean about Pansy. Grr.. She gets on my nerves, even though I was the one who made her like that.
HDfan: Thank you.
F earazoider: Yeah, I try, but I also try to update quickly.
Peterpanswendy: Pansy is a slut. Sheesh, I hate her, even though I created her actions. Oh well. She's supposed to be that way.
xXrocksTah-07Xx: Thank you. I will. SP rules!
Disclaimer: Sadly enough, Harry Potter isn't mine. Hmm... I wonder how much it would cost to buy it from J.K. Rowling...
Chapter 11…
"Draco!" a voice called out. Draco whirled around to see Madame Pomfrey. "Miss Granger is very poor in health, and she'll need watching over today as she is determined to not miss class even though she is weak. Draco, I find that as you are head boy and Miss Granger is head girl, you should be the one to watch her. Make sure she does not leave her room, understand?"
"Me? You want me to stay with her?" Draco asked, taken back. Madame Pomfrey nodded, as if it were obvious, and then walked away.
Sighing, Draco slowly headed back up to the common room. He knocked on Hermione's door before entering. "Hi, Hermione…" he softly said. Hermione was lying on her bed, asleep. She was pale and still looked weak. Draco could see the marks of Pansy's hand on her neck. "Bloody hell, what did she do to you?" he muttered, pulling up a chair by the side of her bed and sitting down.
"Please be okay… Please…" he mumbled, burying his face in her hair. "God damn it! I can't believe she did that. I'll bloody murder her… Please, tell my that you're okay…" She's asleep. I can say it… "God, I love you…" He softly kissed her forehead before leaving to sit in the common room.
The minute he was gone, Hermione opened her eyes, startled at what she had just heard.
ONE HOUR LATER
"Hey, Draco…" Hermione quietly greeted him, steppping out of her room. Draco looked up from the book he was reading.
"Hey, 'Mione. You're awake. Did you have a nice rest?" he asked, grinning at her. He shivered when he saw the handprint on her neck.
"Yeah… I guess… Listen, Draco. I never got the chance to thank you for… you know, saving my life," she thanked him, blushing furiously. Draco grinned.
"No problem. Besides, Dumbledore would kill me if I didn't, right?" he said. Hermione smiled weakly. "Are you sure you're okay? Something's bugging you. I can tell." Hermione hesitated.
"When we were in the corridor, you know, when Pansy saw us… What happened there?" she asked, hoping for a confession. Draco looked down, embarrassed.
"I don't really know…" Hermione bit her lower lip, not really sure what to say. "I guess… it was just… a mistake, I guess…"
Hermione's insides burned. A mistake? What about all the other times? She felt tears threaten to fall. Getting up, she stormed away. Draco stared, open-mouthed, and reached out his arm, trying to catch her, but she was gone.
What was that? Was she really upset? Why would she be upset about that? It's not like she likes me… right? She would never like me. To her, I'm just Draco Malfoy…
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Yeah
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Try so hard to say goodbye
