Disclaimer -

Starfire: I do not fully understand, Friend Lindsay. We are to do the disclaimer of beginning?

Lindsay: Sure. Just after I say this quick author's note: last chapter was more angsty than I intended it to be... heh, sorry. And, I AM SO SORRY THAT I TOOK SO DAMN LONG WITH THIS UPDATE. Now Star, say what Robin went over with you.

Starfire: Lindsay regrets to announce that she sleeps with a teddy bear every night.

Lindsay: WHAT! STARFIRE, THAT IS NOT A DISCLAIMER! THAT IS A LIE!

Starfire: But Friend and Director, Robin said that I was to say that when we did the disclaimer.

Lindsay (thinking): Caaaalm it down Lindsay. It's not Star, it's Robin... it's not Star, it's Robin...

"So, what exactly happened?" Harry asked Robin. The two sixth years were sitting near Beast Boy's hospital bed on chairs. Harry, Robin, Starfire, Raven, Hermione, Ron, Mandy, Cyborg, Jennifer Burns and Ginny were taking turns sitting with Beast Boy in case he wanted a friendly face near him when he woke up.

"Well, after Beast Boy left with you, Cyborg, Ron and Ginny, Raven said he was in danger," said Robin. "We were running all over the castle, and then we found him and Nott. Beast Boy was unconscious. Then, Malfoy ran out of nowhere and rammed him. Nott, I mean, he rammed Nott. Then they started dueling and Hermione Stunned Nott, Malfoy told us to get Beast Boy to the hospital wing, and left."

Harry shook his head. "Malfoy. Egotistical, selfish, dramatic, evil Malfoy. I don't believe it."

"Neither could Hermione," said Robin. "She was staring at him like he was a superhero in spandex."

"Er, Robin? You're a superhero in spandex."

"No, I'm a superhero in Hogwarts robes. And Mandy said something about him being hot."

At this Harry snorted and nearly fell off his chair. "Mandy's a girl girl. She's got pictures of Orlando Bloom absolutely everywhere. Hermione didn't agree wither her or anything, right?" (A/N: I ENVY YOU MANDY! Although I have my new calendar with sixteen pics of Orli... sorry all you boys, and to all you girls who don't think he's hot, but I do! Okay, back to the story...)

Harry became concerned when Robin didn't answer.

"Robin? She didn't, right?"

"Uh, well... not really... she kind of looked at him as if she was trying to decide."

"WHAT!" trumpeted Harry. Madam Pomfrey shot him an icy glare, which he guiltily looked away from. "Are you serious?"

"Uh... yeah."

On the bed, Beast Boy stirred slightly. Instantly, both boys were leaning over him.

"Beast Boy?"

"You awake?"

Beast Boy's eyes opened. "Robin? Harry?"

"Finally, you've been out for a whole day," said Harry. "How do you feel?"

"Like I got run over by a steamroller," muttered Beast Boy.

"Well, you did get hit with a dart and then you fell to the ground," said Harry conversationally. "I wonder if Nott's been caught yet."

"What?" asked Beast Boy.

"Nott escaped," said Robin bitterly. "Ran out of the school."

"He's loose!" demanded Beast Boy. "What if he attacks someone else? What was in that dart, anyway?"

Robin and Harry shot uneasy glances at each other.

"Guys? You know, don't you?"

"Well, er..."

"Um, Beast Boy, there's..."

"FRIEND!" Beast Boy's vision was obscured by a lot of flowing red hair. Starfire had tackled him and was now focused on crushing the life out of him. Or showing affection. It was kind of hard to tell with Starfire sometimes.

"Star, let him breathe," said Harry, pulling the alien off of Beast Boy. Grinning almost crazily, Starfire bounced on the balls of her feet.

"I am elated that Beast Boy has finally woken from the Sleep of Great Length!" Starfire exclaimed. She looked at Harry and Robin. "Has Hermione not returned?"

"From what?" asked Harry.

"From her walk," replied Mandy, coming into the room. She leaned on a chair to catch her breath. "Jesus, Starfire, why are you so fast? I had to run to make it here!"

"I apologize, Friend," said Starfire. Mandy grinned at Beast Boy.

"Glad you're finally awake, BB," she said. She turned to Harry. "Hermione said she was going to take a walk. Said she needed to do something."

"Robin, have you yet told Beast Boy of the..." began Starfire, with a sideways glance at her bedridden friend. She seemed reluctant to comtinue.

"Not yet," groaned Robin.

"The what?" asked Beast Boy instantly. It surprised him how quickly the all the eyes in the room were turned away from him. "What aren't you guys telling me!"

The entire room was silent.

"IF IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH ME, I THINK I HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW!"

"Do you really want to-"

"YES!"

"This is a hospital," snapped Madam Pomfrey.

"Sorry," murmured everyone.

"Tell me," demanded Beast Boy, dropping his voice. Robin sighed, and Harry uneasily glanced at Starfire. Starfire looked at her hands, and Mandy looked at Beast Boy.

"Okay, but Beast Boy, you're not going to like it," Mandy finally said, shooting you're-not-being-very-helpful glances at everyone else. "The poison in the dart... made you lose your powers."

Hermione POV

Left... or right? Or straight? Or should I turn around? Oh, I was never going to find Malfoy! And all I wanted to do was thank him. Was it worth the effort?

Probably not, but my conscience wouldn't hear of it. And my thirst for information. I mean, wouldn't YOU be curious if your known enemy had just helped your friend? I had to know why Malfoy had done that.

"Granger!"

I whipped around to see Pansy Parkinson striding towards me.

"Parkinson," I said cooly. Parkinson looked distressed.

"Listen, I know that Draco helped that green freak-"

"Beast Boy is not a freak."

"Whatever. I know that Draco helped him. And now you're looking for Draco to ask him why, right?"

"Yes..."

"Well," began Parkinson, "it's more than our lives are worth to tell you exactly what's going on. All you need to know is that Beast Boy - or whatever his name is - is being watched by... You-Know-Who."

"Voldemort."

"Granger!" hissed Parkinson. "Listen, you don't know shit about him. Do - not - say - his - name!"

"Whatever," I replied. "Just tell Malfoy that I said thank you, okay?"

"Will do."

Parkinson turned around, and walked away. After a moment's hesitation, she turned around again to face me.

"Yes?"

"Listen, Granger?"

"What, Parkinson?"

"Meet me in the Three Broomsticks next Hogsmeade trip, okay? I'll explain more to you then."

I Think I'll End It Here.

Lindsay: Okay - I AM SOOOOO SORRY ABOUT THE DELAY! Listen: my grades have been sucky, so I had the computer taken away from me for like, ever. So, it was a given that I didn't update anything. Then, now that I've got a couple of lovely A+'s, I can go on the computer on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Sorry folks, but I can't do anything about it. And as if that weren't enough, I had MAJOR writer's block. As you can see, I still do. I want my first pairing to be real, so I can't rush it unless I want people flaming me, saying that it'd never happen. I BEG OF YOU: give me ideas as to how to get Draco and Hermione together without being all fake about it!

Drake: There's another reason.

Lindsay: Shut up RIGHT NOW OR YOU'RE CHOPMEAT!

Beast Boy: Uh, Linz, you're a veg-

Lindsay: YES, BUT I'LL KILL DRAKE ANYWAY!

Drake: Lindsay and Beast Boy are going steady! They're now officially boyfriend and girlfriend!

Lindsay and Beast Boy: :blushing insanely: SHUT UP, DRAKE!
