Part 7: Harry's Accident

Hermione puzzled over the previous night. She had so many things to say to Malfoy but she didn't know where to begin. She got up and got into the shower. While the warm water ran over her body, she felt the presence of someone watching her. Who was it? Who was making her feel so damn uncomfortable? She didn't let it bother her. She washed her hair and body and then just hopped out of the shower without a problem. She threw on her clothes and robe, gathered her quills, and headed for the dorm door. When she unlocked the door she heard a rapping at the window. She glanced over and there was the exact same owl that delivered Malfoy's letter to her. A little sub-conscience, she opened the window. Taking the letter from the animals beak, she gave him a treat and sent him on his way again. Hastily she opened the enclosed letter and began to read. There wasn't much written on the parchment except a single sentence:

"I WAS THERE....I SAW HIM......I SAW YOU.....I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT.......I WANT YOU......I NEED YOU....COME MEET ME TONIGHT IN THE LIBRARY ONCE AGAIN....PLEASE."

She was scared to death. He loved it? How sick could you get? She thought she should tell Harry about the letter, but the thought of "you kissed him, you kissed Malfoy", crossed her mind. "No! No! I'm not going to tell him. I have to deal with this on my own!" She crumpled up the letter and burned it on the candle on her night stand. After it was incinerated she blew the candle out and left. On her way to the Great Hall for breakfast, she passed Crabbe and Goyle going the opposite direction. They looked more pissed off than usual. Hermione stopped.

"How come they are walking alone? Why the malicious looks?" She lingered on the thought that Malfoy had abandoned his friends. Shaking off the uneasy feeling she got when thinking of Draco, she headed to the Great Hall.

Walking in she saw Ron sitting with Susan, but no sign of Harry. Hermione, cautious to approach them, walked over as if nothing had ever happened. "Ello, Ron....Susan." They glanced up at her with sadness in their eyes. Hermione felt her heart sink into her stomach. "What's wrong with you two?" No later had the end of the sentence escaped her lips, as Susan cupped her face in her palms and began to weep. Hermione, with a look of confusion on her face, returned her glance to Ron. "It's Harry....he..wa...I mean he was attacked earlier this morning. In his bed....McGonagall and Dumbledore don't know how it happened.....Harry was found unconscious and bleeding on the floor." As Ron finished his last few words he became overwhelmed with tears. Hermione, slowly started to back up and started shaking, then ran for the door. She ran down the halls turning corner after corner until she got to the Hospital Wing. She wasn't prepared for what awaited her behind the door of Harry's room.
