The Hospital wing
Ron and Draco were in the hospital wing, one just as bored as the other, but just when they thought that they couldn't be anymore bored, Hermione and Pansy walked into the room.
"Hey, Ron! How are you doing?" asked Hermione as she sidled towards Ron's bed.
"I'm okay, Hermione, my shoulder just hurts a little. That's more than I can say for Malfoy though," Ron snickered.
"Ron! Must I remind you thatyou were the one that caused him to be like that?" Hermione asked rhetorically. She was still somewhat in love with Malfoy, not near what she had been, but enough to want to come to Draco's defense.
"Poor Draco," she sighed.
"Poor Draco? POOR DRACO? How can you feel sorry for that… that," Ron began, but stopped promptly, not wanting to say anything that would cause Hermione to leave.
"Never mind, I'm just glad you're here, Hermione," he said.
"Good! You should be!" Hermione replied with a smile.
"Now, I brought you some Chocolate Frogs for whenever you get that sweet tooth of yours," she said, handing him one of the two boxes she held in her hand, the other box was for Malfoy.
"Do you know when Madame Pomfrey is going to let you out of here?" Hermione asked.
" She said I would be out tomorrow, Malfoy, however, doesn't get released until next week," Ron replied.
Ron had barely finished his sentence when Madame Pomfrey swept into the room.
"Okay Girls, get out! Visiting time is over! Go on now, shoo!" she said, chasing the girls from the room.
"But Madame Pomfrey, I didn't get to give Draco his Chocolate Frogs!" said Hermione as Madame Pomfrey was trying to push her out of the room.
"Fine, Fine," Madame Pomfrey conceded, "Say your good-byes and the get out!"
"Bye, Draco!" Pansy said, blowing him a kiss, while he managed to choke out goodbye.
Hermione walked over to Draco and gave him the box of Chocolate Frogs, a note and a quick hug goodbye.
Draco leaned back, smirking, as he watched Hermione make her way toward Ron.
She gave Ron a quick goodbye, but didn't hug him, in fear of hurting his shoulder.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Ron. I'll be sure and tell Harry that you're doing better and that you'll be back in class with us tomorrow," she said, before whispering, "Harry will be here later under his invisibility cloak, he couldn't make it right now because he is finishing his homework."
Ron nodded and told Hermione goodbye. Both Ron and Draco watched her walk out of the hospital wing.
As soon as she disappeared, Draco smirked at Ron.
"What in the world are you so happy about, Malfoy?" Ron asked, not really wanting to know the answer.
"Oh, nuffin weezy! Jus' dat Granger seems du not care much about you anymore!" said Draco, wincing slightly because his jaw was still very sore.
Ron glared at Malfoy and said, "Don't even start, Ferret Boy!"
Draco smirked yet again, as if he was trying to say, "try and stop me".
Ron, who had decided he couldn't take anymore, got out of bed, walked over to Draco and proceeded to try and strangle him. Draco's feeble attempts to get Ron off him were almost useless, and Ron probably would have succeeded in injuring Draco further if Snape hadn't walked in upon the scene. When he saw Ron and Draco fighting, he instantly went to Draco's rescue.
"Weasley! Just what do you think you are doing!?" Snape said, while pulling Ron off of Draco.
"Well, I- I- I," Ron stuttered.
"For your attempt to murder a fellow student, you will be receiving two days of detention, Weasley, plus 100 points will be taken from Gryffindor! Lets go see if Professor Umbridge agrees with this punishment." Snape said, beginning to drag Ron out of the hospital wing.
Madame Pomfrey walked in, noticed that Ron was missing and immediately began to interrogate Draco on his whereabouts. He told her, and she took off after them. When she caught up to them she started to yell at Snape.
"This boy is NOT to leave the hospital wing until he is released tomorrow morning! It doesn't matter what he did, he is injured and needs rest!"
"He tried to strangle the Malfoy boy!" Snape argued, determined to see Ron in detention.
"It does not matter! The boy needs his rest! He needs to be in the hospital wing!" Madame Pomfrey said, grabbing Ron and hauling him back to the hospital wing, where she strapped both of the boys to their beds.
"There will be no murders in my hospital wing, you hear!" she said, before walking out of the room, leaving Ron and Draco to glare at each other from across the room.
