Chapter 4: "I'm Back."

Night had fallen over Saint Mungo's, where Ginny, Harry, Ron, and Malfoy were all sleeping. Hermione, on the other hand, was thinking about what Malfoy had asked her.

"Hermione," Malfoy started, but Hermione cut across him. "Don't even ask," she had said to him. She didn't want to tell him that it was the Charme D'Amour that had happened to them, a spell created by Rachel the Enchanter, who, of course, was the best love enchantress in the world. Malfoy looked taken aback by her sudden rudeness. "I'm – I'm sorry, I just – " he was cut off by the healer, who told them it was time for bed, and they could stay if they liked, but it was, 'quiet time' for the children.

Hermione was…interested in what he had to ask her, but she didn't want to know at that moment. It just didn't make sense. But then, nothing made sense anymore. Nothing at all. Not love, not hate, not feelings, not death, not even life. Nothing at all. "Hermione? Are you awake?" Harry had woken up from his slumber. "Yes, Harry. I couldn't sleep." Harry smiled. "I couldn't, either." He looked at the dent in his pillow and grinned. "But, I guess I did after all." Hermione winced and looked around. "Looks like Malfoy's gone." She said as Ron began to wake. "Ugh…Why the Bloody Hell am I here?" Ron looked at Hermione and a look of comprehension crept up his face. "Oh…oh yeah. Hi, Herms." Hermione made retching sounds. "Ron, you're still half asleep. Get a grip." Harry said. "You know Hermione just hates the name Herms." Ron jumped, giggled, and started to snore. "Regular routine." Harry said, and with that, Ron jumped awake. "Oh, honestly, Ron, sometimes you are very odd. Well then, I'll be leaving Saint Mungo's tomorrow, so you two stay out of trouble, because I won't be there to bail you out, okay?"

Next chapter, Hermione's mistake!
