Hermione's Rival

Chapter 5: Recovery

Hermione knocked on the door of the hospital wing, and Madam Pomfrey let her in. She brought Michelle some popular wizarding sweets, and a book she wanted to read. Hermione got a surprise when she went in. The other 7 kids were camping around the bed Michelle was in.

"Hey Hermione,'' Michelle smiled. She was wearing shorts and a fabric painted nightshirt.

Hermione swallowed. "Look Michelle, I'm really sorry about the other night.''

"It's OK. Just forget about it,'' said Michelle. "I'm not badly hurt, I get out on Monday.''

"I brought you some stuff," said Hermione. "Everybody wants to see you, so I would expect an avalanche of presents."

"Yay! Oh wow! Loads of candy and "Hogwarts a history. Thanks Hermione." Michelle said happily, dropping some wrapping paper on Brandon's head, who fell against Jessica.

"Don't push me!" and there was a fight going on. Hermione slipped out of the room.

There was a scent of Christmas as Hermione left. She would never let jealousy get the better of her. Michelle and Hermione were never best friends but there was definitely a bond between them.

"Bulls eye!" Fred just threw a snowball at Hermione, who picked up some snow, threw it at him and ran. Fred had good aim!
