"Draco, Just let me go. I really don't feel well. I think I'm going to fain-" And with that, Hermione fainted. Draco whipped his arms out and caught her before she hit the floor. He now held her in his arms. He had no idea what to do with her.

((Draco thinking))

Oh my god. Hermione Granger is in my arms. What the hell am I going to do with her? Man, she looks really sick. Why do I care if shes sick? Ahh!!!!!

((end of Draco thinking))

Draco stood there panicking.

"Should I leave her here? No, I wasn't brought up like that. Maybe I should just bring her up to the Hospital Wing."

He heard foot steps from a far and loud speaking

"If anyone sees me with Granger in my arms, I'll be ruined. And if father hears a word of this, I'll be dead."

The foot steps got louder and louder. Draco had no choice but to bring Hermione up there. He started to climb the stairs with Hermione in his arms. It was not hard for him to walk up the stairs with her in his arms because of all the Quidditch he played made his upper body very strong. Now, the voices sounded as if they were right behind him, and sure enough, when Draco turned around, stood 2 first year Slytherins.

"If you say ONE word of this to anyone, I'll hex you both! And don't think I wont, because I sure as hell will."

The 2 boys stood there looking petrified. One of the boys opened his mouth. Having a lot of trouble speaking.

"O…o….of c…c…c…course. N..not a w..w..word."

Then the 2 boys ran off looking more terrified then ever. Draco kept walking. He reached the door and kicked on it so someone could come and open the door for him. Madam Pomfrey swung open the door and stood in front of him.

"Mr. Malfoy, w…w..what happened to Mrs. Granger?" She tried to take Hermione from his arms, but his grip was too tight for her.

"I was checking the halls for wondering students and I came across Herm- Mrs. Granger. I asked her were she was going so and she told me that she was coming here because she didn't feel well. When I let her go, she feel over and I picked her up and brought her here as fast as I could."

"Bring her over here." walking towards an empty bed. Everything was all white. "Here, you can put her down on this bed here"

Draco laid her down on the empty bed as gently as possible.

"Has she been eating normally? Any different sleeping patterns?"

"Oh, I don't know. We eat at different tables. And I don't sleep in the same room as her." sounding irritated. "Do you know whats wrong with her?" Now he was getting very impatient. He heard someone open the door, so he asked Madam Pomfrey if it was okay if he can shut the curtains around the bed. He pulled them shut and looked at Hermione laying in the bed. She did look very pale and very ill. Madam Pomfrey looked from Draco to the brunette in the bed back to Draco.

"She's very ill. She will have to stay here for a day or two. Just until she can stand up on her own and her temperature goes down. It shouldn't take long. You may come and visit her when ever you please."

"That would be great!" did I just agree to come and visit her? Whats gotten into me? I cant be falling for her. Its IMPOSSIBLE!!

"Madam Pomfrey, may I ask you to do something for me?" he face got very serious. " If anyone asks you who brought Herm- I mean Mrs. Granger up here, can you just say that she came on her own. Also, please don't tell anyone that I'm coming to visit her? It would mean a lot to me."

"Of course Mr. Malfoy. You can trust me!"

"Brilliant!" he was now happier then before. He dropped his hand down on hers. He pulled the covers up on her and watched as she got comfortable in the bed.

Whats gotten into me? Why is she making me feel so, so different? I, Draco Malfoy, a pureblood. And her, Hermione Granger, a Mudblood. I could never be with her. Even if my father dies. There are still Death Eaters out there that would kill me. Oi!!. When shes around , I cant think straight. Why cant I get her out of my head?!?!?
