"..Get him to the Hospital Wing, hurry…!"

"How are they, Poppy? "

"Well, Miss Granger, she's…"

"But how is that possible…?"

"Mr. Malfoy suffered severe cuts on his back, but the wounds are healing slowly…He also had a huge hit on his head…he broke a rib, puncturing his…I managed to…also a collarbone and a shoulder blade too…"

"..I just hope that they are alright..."

"Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley, I suggest that you two keep your voices down in here…"

"..Poor Hermione, I hope she's alright…"

"..Why did Malfoy save her anyway?'

-- Why DID I save Granger? --

As Draco Malfoy opened his eyes, he saw that it was at night and he was in the Hospital wing. He slowly tried to sit up, and with much difficulty and pain, he managed to sit up straight and looked around.

A bed next to his was in complete disarray and it was empty. A bunch of fresh flowers and get well cards were placed on the bedside table, none of them were for him though.

--Granger-- He thought.

Draco got out of bed and out of the Hospital wing. His feet walked on paths, but he wasn't aware of where he was going. He arrived in the courtyard.

He then saw a female figure sitting under a moonlit bench.

She didn't seem to notice the man who saved her life a few hours ago, standing there, in the shadows, watching her.

As he was about to walk away, shimmering lights appeared in the sky. Curious, he looked up. So did she.

Bands of red and green lights played across the sky.

"Aurora Borealis" Both of them whispered.

It was the most beautiful thing both, Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy had seen.

But, Draco then thought it was awkward to see the Northern Lights here, in Hogwarts. He looked back down and saw that Hermione was still amazed by it's beauty.

He managed to look away from her and walk away. His journey didn't last long, as he bumped into "Professor Dumbledore!" Draco said in a low surprise.

"Good evening, Draco" greeted Dumbledore. "Good evening, Professor." Draco replied.

"May I ask, what are you doing out of the Hospital Wing this late night?" asked Dumbledore. "I...I was just taking a midnight stroll, Professor." The blonde answered.

Dumbledore then nodded. "Well, I think it's time for you to go back and have your rest." Suggested the Headmaster.

With a nod and a reply "Yes, Sir." Draco turned around a walked away.

As the Slytherin was walking away, he heard the Headmaster say" Mr. Malfoy, could you give my regards to Miss Hermione Granger?"

Draco then replied, "Of course, Professor." And walked away, without a second glance.

As Draco walked past the courtyard, he saw that the Northern Lights were gone and so was Hermione.

He entered the Hospital Wing and walked to his bed. He noticed that Hermione Granger was back in her bed, silently watching every move he made.

He sat at the other side of his bed with his back facing her. "The Headmaster gives his regards." He managed to say. Not bothering whether she heard him or not, he slowly laid back down and tried to fall back to sleep.

Thank You Varyssa for your entertaining comment (It made me laugh! ;) )

This chapter is my favourite. It has a mysterious feel to it, but that's just my opinion. Hopefully waiting for any comments... )
