Draco was walking down the halls all by himself. He stuck his hands in the pockets of his robes. The letter that was once there, was now gone.

"SHIT!"

"I was in the halls. Where else? Think, think, think!!!! SHIT! I went to the hospital wing!"

He was now walking as fast as he could up to the Hospital Wing. He needed that letter. If Hermione found that letter, she would know that he was coming up to visit her and he didn't want her to know, not yet.


Hermione was walking in the halls. She thought about what Ron had just told her before. About the bastard Harry, who was cheating on her while she was in the Hospital Wing. But it wasn't just anyone, it was her Best Mate, Ginny. How could he do that to her. How could Ginny do that to her they were best mates. Hermione didn't do anything to deserve something so mean and cold. She felt like she had no friends anymore. Harry Ron and Ginny where her best friends. She was now in tears. Hermione walked quickly down the halls so no one would see her tear stained face. Just then, a tall blonde boy walked into her sight. Everything was a blur because of the tears that filled her eyes. Then, the boy walked closer and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Hermione? Are you ok?" A cool voice spoke. It was so familiar. But who was it?

"Hermione?"

She dried her eyes as best she could and looked up to see who was talking to her. It was Draco Malfoy. But why did he care about Hermione?

"What?" she sounded so bitter. But also, very hurt.

"Why are you crying? Are you ok?"

"Its nothing. I'll be fine!" she just wanted him to leave her.

"I'm pretty sure its something. Do you want to talk about it?"

Hermione didn't know what was coming over Draco, or what was coming over her. She couldn't take it anymore. She broke down and started to cry again. She soon found herself in Draco's arms. He had his arms around her. Taking in the smell of flowers. They stood there with out a care in the world. Everything felt as if time stopped those moments they were in each others arms.

"Hermione? What happened?" she pulled her head from his shoulder, eyes red and puffy from all the crying she had done. Through sniffs and tears she told him….

"..the s..s..stupid git, he, he ,he cheated on me!! W..with GINNY!" she was now screaming. It just came out!

"Shhh" he put a finger to her lips to quiet her, there were classes going on around them and he knew something wrong was going to happen.
"Maybe we should go somewhere that we can talk."

"How could he do this to me??????

The tears came pouring from her eyes again. Her crying was very loud and Draco tried hard to calm her down. There was a click and a door popped open. Both Hermione and Draco broke the hug and stood next to each other. A short round woman walked out of the room where the door opened.

"Mr. Malfoy, Mrs. Granger. What are you two doing out in the halls, during class?"

Draco and Hermione made eye contact, her eyes started to water and she looked away fast.

"I asked you a question. What are you two doing out in the halls during class?"

"Well, Hermione was just let out of the hospital wing and I- I- I was there to get her and bring her to class. She found out some bad news and I tried to comfort her and -"

"That's enough babbling Mr. Malfoy. There is still no excuse for interrupting my class. Its only fair but to give you 2 weeks of detention. Now go back to class and after dinner, please come and meet me in my room so I can tell you when and were you will be having detention."

Hermione opened her mouth to protest, but found it very hard to speak.

"We are very sorry for the interruption." Draco tried to apologize to Professor Sprout was still mad. She gave both Draco and Hermione one last look and walked back to her class. Hermione and Draco stood in the hall for a couple minutes in silence. She didn't know why he stood up for her, and why he said all that stuff. She was still crying. Hermione couldn't stop. Draco watched her and couldn't help but get upset. It hurt him to see her crying. Then, Hermione realized that class was soon ending and people would be flooding the halls. So she walked over to Draco, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek. Then she whispered something into his ear.

"thank you. I know you've been coming up here to visit me and I want to thank you for that." she was so close to his face. He felt her lip brush against his ear. She was just about to leave but before she did, she slipped the letter into his pocket. "I'm really sorry."
