MEANWHILE

Ron, at a slight jog took Hermione up to the hospital wing. "Madame Promfey!" Ron called out. "Oh dear lord, what happen?" asked Madame Promfey seeing Ron holding an unconscious Hermione & signaling for him to place Hermione on the bed. "Well, we were swimming & I threw her into the water & she didn't surface, so I went underwater & found her at the bottom, where it's not that deep & she couldn't move 'cause her leg had got caught in the weeds, so I broke the weeds & got her out of the lake. Then I got her breathing again & brought her straight up here." Ron re-told the story very fast.

"Ok, how long was she under for?" asked Madame Promfey, grabbing a bottle of potion from a cabinet & bringing it back over to Hermione. "Umm…not sure maybe 4 or 5 minuets," said Ron running his hands through his hair. "Is she gonna be ok?" He asked nervously. "Yes, but she must rest now, come back tomorrow & she should be awake." answered Madame Promfey, while pushing Ron out of the hospital wing.

As Ron trudged through the portrait hole he saw Harry, Pat & Ginny sitting on the couches & joined them. "Where's Hermione?" asked Pat, "She's in the hospital wing, Promfey said she should be fine by tomorrow," said Ron closing his eyes. "Good can I go see her?" asked Pat, "I spose you can try," muttered Ron. "Ok, cyas," said Pat as he got up & left the room.

"So what happened?" asked Harry, Ron sighed, then repeated the story of what happened when Ron rescued Hermione. "I see, well at least she'll be fine," said Ginny optimistically. "Mate, I'm biggest prat! She almost bloody died 'coz of me," at that Ron put his head in his hands & started muttering to himself. "It's ok Ron, we'll all go & check on her tomorrow," said Harry. "Well we may as well finished our homework, we've got nothing else to do," said Ginny, so they did their homework for the rest of the afternoon.

"We've been at this for like 2 hours!" said Ron in shock, packing up his homework. "Let's get some dinner," added Ginny, getting up with Harry & Ron & heading to the Great Hall.

IN THE GREAT HALL

"Hey Harry, Ron, Ginny, over here" yelled Pat, to them as they entered the Hall. The three sat down around Pat, who was sitting next to Lavender. "How's 'mione?" asked Harry, "She's fine, thank god" muttered Pat, taking a huge bite out of a potato. "Good," said Harry, Ginny & Ron in unison. After dinner the five headed back to their common room & because no one was in a social mood they went straight to bed.

Ron rolled in his bed for at least the millionth time that night, trying to fall asleep. He looked over at his alarm clock: 4am. 'That's it!' Ron thought angrily to himself, before getting out of his bed & quietly tiptoed out of his dorm & into the common room. He sat in front of the fire until it died away into the ashes, then decided to go check on Hermione.

IN THE HOSPITAL WING

As Ron walked quietly in the hospital wing, he saw Hermione lying on the bed he'd placed her on. He went & sat next to her, but missed the chair & fell on the floor but, on the way down tried to grab the sheets on Hermione's bed for support, but pulled them down with him. "Shit!" said Ron angrily, rubbing his elbow. ""RON?" yelled Hermione shivering, then getting off her bed & picking up the sheets then helping Ron up.

"What are you doing here?" she asked Ron then getting back into her bed, which she had just re-made. "I came to see if you were ok, but I woke you up instead, sorry," said Ron blushing. "It's ok & I'm fine," said Hermione laughing.

They sat in silence for awhile, the Hermione asked "What time is it?" "Ummm, it was 4am when I decided to come & see you so it's probably 4:30ish," said Ron thinking. "Well, I can't fall asleep now that I'm awake so want stay with me?" asked Hermione, patting a spot on the end of her bed, for him to sit on. So he sat on the end of her bed & asked, "'mione, are you coming to the Burrow for christmas?" "Of course, I mean if you, Harry & Ginny are I'd feel rejected if I didn't. Anyway it's always fun at your house," said Hermione smirking. They talked on until the late hours of the morning, and then Madame Promfey came in & gave Hermione a final check up & said she was free to leave.

"I hate the hospital wing, it's so boring! Madame Promfey wouldn't even let me read, she gave a lecture about it but I wasn't listening," Hermione complained to Ron on the way back to the common room. "What day is it anyway? I've forgotten," said Hermione as they rounded the corner to the portrait hole. "It's...uh…Monday, Pumpkin Pastries" muttered Ron as they walked into the deserted common room. "What time is it?" wondered Hermione, as Ron checked his watch. "It is 11:37am, everyone must be at breakfast," stated Ron, "Are you hungry?" asked Hermione, walking to the door knowing there was no way Ron wasn't. "Is my hair red?" asked Ron, with a lopsided grin, following a smiling Hermione to the Great Hall.

IN THE GREAT HALL

"Herm your ok! Thank god, I was so worried about you," said Pat, running up to Hermione & hugging her when she entered the Great Hall. "Gosh Hermione, when most girls wanna get rescued they usually lock themselves in a tower or something not try to drown themselves, but for the third time you get extra points for originality," laughed Pat. "It's good to know people care," Hermione said happily. "Hey Hermione," Hermione looked around Pat & saw Harry & Ginny waving at her. "Hello," she said sitting down next to Pat as Ron took a seat on the other side of the table, next to Harry. "Oh, hey Ron," said Pat, "Where were you this morning? I couldn't find you anywhere," said Harry, serving himself some more food. "He woke me up, so I made him stay with me, 'cause I can't go back to sleep once I'm awake," Hermione answered Harry's question for Ron.

"I thought we were all going together to see her today, why didn't you wait?" said Pat looking a bit rejected.

"'Coz I am a bitch!" answered Ron, flicking his hand in an uncharacteristic attempt to being bitchy but, failing miserably, then joining the rest of the group in laughter.

NEAR THE LAKE

"I'm so bored," groaned Ginny, leaning against the trunk of a tree. "We all are Gin," said Ron angrily, then continuing to play with Lavender's hair. The group was sitting outside under a tree thinking of what they could do for the rest of the day. "I've got it!" squealed Hermione, sitting upright instantly. "Got what?" asked Pat, "Why don't we all go to the quidditch & whoever wants to have a game can & whoever doesn't want to can watch & talk with me," answered Hermione getting up & helping Ginny up. Off they went toward the pitch. When they arrived Harry, Ron, Pat & Ginny decided to play (Harry & Ginny vs. Ron & Pat) so Lavender & Hermione sat in the stands & watched.

'It's freezing!' thought Hermione shaking uncontrollably; it was about 6:30 in the afternoon now & it was starting to get cold. "It's freezing! Wanna head back?" asked Lavender as if reading Hermione's mind. "Yes," said Hermione as she & Lavender made their way out of the quidditch pitch.

"Where are you two disappearing to?" yelled Ginny, descending down to the ground. "We're going back to the common room until dinner," said Lavender, pulling her cloak tighter around herself. "Oi! GUYS! Game's over, pack it up!" Ginny yelled up to the boys, who landed on the ground next to the girls.

ON THE WAY TO THE GREAT HALL

"C'mon! Walk faster," said Ron, Pat & Harry, practically running to the Great Hall. "What's the rush?" asked Hermione curiously, "We're starving! YES FOOD!" yelled Ron as they entered the Hall. By the time they rest of the group sat down Ron, Pat & Harry had already loaded their plates with enough food to make anyone sick. (Except themselves of course!) "Boys," muttered Hermione to Ginny, who smiled, then put some food on her plate.

"What? No way we so won!" objected Ginny, "Nope! We won, your just angry 'coz you suck," said Pat. Ginny opened her mouth to protest when Harry said "They're just sore losers, I mean we did beat them, what was it again? Oh yer, like 70-10!" said Harry grinning. That shut Pat & Ron up!

"I'm just heading up to Gryffindor common room to finish that essay for…um… Snape, cya everyone," said Lavender as she gave Ron a peck & walked out of the Great Hall. "I can't believe that! I finished that essay, like 3days ago!" said Hermione seeming genuinely shocked. "Hermione, it's not due for another month!" said Ron, "Shit!" everyone looked in the direction from where the voice had come from & saw Pat standing up. "I have to go I have an essay due first day back at school, which I haven't started," he said. "Ok cya, Pat," said Hermione receiving a peck on the cheek from Pat, before he rushed out of the Great Hall. "Anyone else need to finish an essay?" asked Hermione, as Harry, Ginny & Ron shook their heads in unison.
