A/N:sorry for the crappy chapter. i've been having really bad writers block! so ideas would be great! as well as reviews :)!!

Lavender looked at Parvati and then to Ginny.

"Well, she did ask Professor Trelawney if she could go to Madam Pomfrey today in Divination this morning. My guess is that shes still there, or maybe shes in the dormitory? Why, is everything alright?"

"Yeah, everything's ok. We were just worried about her. Well if you excuse me, im going to get Harry and Ron, then we are off to the Hospital Wing. I'll talk to you both later! Thanks!!

"Bye Gin!" both the girls waved bye and Ginny walked away.

"Hey guys. I just talked to Lavender and Parvati and they said that Hermione went to the Hospital Wing earlier this morning during class and she didn't come back. So she must still be up there. Do you want to go and see if shes there?

"Sure. Let go now before it gets too late and class starts."

They said good bye to all their friends and left the Great Hall. The 3 of them walked down the hall in silence. When they reached the door, Harry put his hand on the door knob and turned it until the door opened.

"Good Afternoon Madam Pomfrey! How are you?" "Ahh, Mr. Potter! Its been a while. Im peachy. And you?"

"Fine, Thanks."

"What brings you lot here?"

"Well," Harry was now rubbing the back of his neck. He did this whenever he was nervous or didn't know that to say. " We were wondering if Hermione Granger was here?"

"Ahh, yes! She came in this morning. She is very ill."

"Is she ok?" Ron blurted out.

"May we see her?" Harry was acting very serious now.

"Yes, she's ok. And no, you may not go and see her now. I've already made another young man leave earlier because she needs her rest. But you may come back later."

"Oh, who came earlier?"

" Never you mind, now if you don't mind, I need to leave. I have lots of people to take care of, you know?"

"Alright, sorry. Maybe we will be back later. Goodbye!"

Harry, Ron, and Ginny left the room and got down stairs just in time for class.

Draco was not able to pay attention in any of his classes. Hermione was on his mind all afternoon. Dinner came faster then usual. He walked to the Great Hall and sat down at the Slytherin table next to his good friend Blaise Zabini. He wasn't really in the mood to eat so he didn't.

"Hey Blaise, I'm going to go. I'll see you late. Alright?"

"Yeah, sure. You ok? You don't seem like yourself today."

"I haven't been feeling myself either lately."

"Aight. Bye."

Draco got up from the table and made his way to the large wood doors. He pushed them open and left the room then walked up the large marble stair case. When he reached the door to the Hospital Wing, he paused.

Should I go? Maybe I'll go in for a minute or 2 and then leave. Just to check if shes ok. Yeah. that's what I'll do. Just a couple of minutes.

He pushed the door open and saw Madam Pomfrey taking care of a first year HufflePuff.

"Mr. Malfoy. You'll be pleased to hear that your friend has regained consciousness. She was somewhat awake before, but now she is sleeping. Some of her other friends came up to see her before but I didn't allow them to visit her. So they might be back later. Would you like me to warn you if they come up.?"

"That would be great! I'll have the curtains closed though."

"So I'll walk by and poke my head in and let you know."

"Thanks so much! I really appreciate all that you are doing for me." The only reason why she is doing this all for me is because if I tell father that she didn't listen to me, she'd be kicked out of here in a flash.

"Oh, its not a problem Mr. Malfoy. I know how you boys get when something happens to your girlfriends. You must really like her!"

"Oh, um, me and Hermione.. Err- you see.."

" Aha! You have a crush on her!!"

"umm, could you ..err- not say that out loud." Draco looked very uncomfortable. " but how did you know?"

"Yes of course." she was distracted with a piece of paper on the counter. " Oh, just by the way you look at her. I can also see it in your eyes when you see her."

"this is NOT the conversation I want to be having with the school Nurse. I wouldn't even talk about this to mother. Or my friends. God. I really don't want to be talking to her right now."

"Oh and a little while ago, she was calling out your name. I don't know why, maybe she was dreaming?"

for you the counter :I never said my story was different from others. So maybe you should get a life and stop counting the number or stories on the pages.
