It was a week after the incident in the Room of Requirement. Hermione would go to the hospital wing every day and always asked the same question, 'Did you hear anything about Draco yet?' and Pomfrey would always say the same thing, 'No.' Hermione was heading to the hospital wing.

"Hi Madame Pomfrey. Did you hear anything from Draco yet?" She asked as she sat down on one of the beds, waiting for her to answer.

"As a matter of fact I did." This triggered Hermione's interest.

"Really? What did you hear? Is he going to be ok?" All these questions were forming in her head.

"Come down. Now they said that his breathing is normal and he's stop coughing up blood. But it'll be a day or two before he came back." Hermione didn't relies that she was standing up. She sat back down.

"Oh. But at least he's ok." She felt better.

"There's more good news. I got you permission from the headmaster for you to visit Mr. Malfoy this afternoon with me. Would you like that?" She asked, a big smile on her face. Hermione jumped back up in surprisement. Se hugged Pomphrey.

"Oh thank you! What are can we go?" She asked as she let go of the Madame.

"After dinner. I want you too meet me here at about seven o' clock. Ok?"

"Perfect! Thank you Madame Pomfrey thank you!" She left the wing. She ran over two the Great Hall for lunch and sat down near Lavender and Eamia. She told them about her good news.

"That's great! Say hi to him for me." Lavender said with excitement.

"Me too!" Eamia said.

"Sure thing. I can't wait till dinner!" She finished her lunch and ran off to her classes. I just have to get through Transfiguration class and then Potions class. Then it will be time to go and visit Draco! She thought to herself.

Classes went by extremely fast. Hermione ran to the Great Hall or dinner. She sat down near her two best friends. She didn't eat though, she was too excited. Hermione and her friends were just gossiping as usual, when Professor Dumbledore cleared his throat, trying to get the students' attention.

"Attention students. I would like to announce that there's going to be an end of the year dance next month on the second to last day of school. This is a dance for fourth to seventh years." There were murmurs around the hall of students telling their friends what they were going to wear or who they wanted to go with. Dumbledore was waiting for everyone to stop talking.

"Now it's going take place here in the Great Hall. We will need some volunteers for decorations so if you would like to volunteer go see Professor MgGonnagal and she will hand out your assignment. Thank you for your attention. Continue eating this delicious meal." There were more murmurs. Hermione got up and headed to the hospital wing. She was ten minutes early. She waited there as the time ticked away.

"Ah Miss. Granger, you're here already. Best get going then." Madame Pomfrey said as she was putting her coat on.

"Exactly how are we going to get there?" Hermione asked as she was following Pomfrey out the double doors.

"We're going to appearate(sorry forgot how to spell) there. But you know we can't on school grounds so we're going to Hogsmade." They walked in silence the rest of the way there. They stopped in front of The Hogs Head.

"Ok. The headmaster told me that you passed your test, is that correct?" She asked.

"Yes." Hermione replied.

"Ok. Then you know what to do. You go first and then I'll follow you from behind." Hermione nodded her head in agreement. She closed her eyes and concentrated. She disappeared, Madame Pomfrey right behind her. They were soon at St. Mongos' Hospital. They went up to the front desk.

"Excuse me. Could you tell me which room a young Mr. Malfoy is staying please?" She asked ever so nicely. The young witch pointed to a door right across from the desk. Madame Pomfrey and Hermione went over to the door and knocked. There was a muffled voice coming from behind the door, telling them to come in.

"Hi Draco." Draco looked up. A smile spread out on his face. Hermione went over to Draco's bed and hugged him. He looked surprised to see her.

"What are you guys doing here?" He asked, pulling away from Hermione.

"What, your not happy to see me?" Hermione asked jokingly.

"No. I just wasn't expecting visitors." He sat up in his bed.

"So how are you feeling" Hermione asked, her voice now filled with concern.

"Oh perfect. How about you? Are you doing well?" He asked.

"I'm as perfect as you." They looked at each other in silence. Madame Pomfrey was the one to beak the silence.

"I think I better go talk to your healer and see when you can come back to school." With that she left, leaving Hermione and Draco alone.

"I have lots tell to you." Hermione said after awhile.

"Like what?"

"Like there's going to be a dance at the end of the year for the fourth through seventh years." She explained.

"Really? When was this announced?" Draco asked.

"A dinner time, just before we left to come see you." Hermione sat on the end of the bed.

"So are you going with anyone?" Hermione looked over Draco. She laughed. Draco frowned at this.

"I wouldn't dream of going with anyone else but you. You know that." She replied. The smile returned to Draco's face. Madame Pomfrey and Draco's healer came in.

"Well I have good news for you Draco. You can leave first thing tomorrow morning. Madame Pomfrey here will come and pick you up."

"Awesome! I can't wait to back!" Draco said with excitement.

"Well your friends can't wait to have you back. Now Miss. Granger and I have to go now." Hermione looked up at Pomfrey.

"Do we have to go already? We just got here." She complained.

"Yes. You'll see him tomorrow." Hermione gave Draco one last hug and they off.
