I'm finally updating! Can't believe it...It's been like one month +. Haha. Sorry.. Well...Here it is...

Hermione ran to the nearest phone and called the hospital. The line was busy so she dialed the number again. This time she got through.

"Hello. This is Singleton Hospital. How may I help you?" a kind voice answered.

"My father fainted," Hermione said, and then she thought "to put it lightly."

"Where do you live? We will send an ambulance over immediately." The nurse's tone changing into that of a serious one.

Hermione told her the address and put down the phone. She sunk down onto the couch and waited. Her mother was out and her worst nightmare was coming true.

Draco had just received a letter from his father. Slowly, he opened it, slightly worried of what it might say.

Draco,

I have been informed that you actually have fallen for that disgusting creature. I am appalled that such a thing has ever been said. It must not be true, you must not disappoint me. I must remind you once again: Do not disgrace the Malfoy name by doing anything that is not worthy of our status.

Lucius Malfoy

Draco scowled. Zabini. He looked around, and as usual, Blaise was looking at him. Draco marched over and…punched the smirking boy's face. Blaise was taken aback for a few seconds before retaliating by hitting Draco's stomach. The wind was knocked out of Draco, but he would not give up. Punches and kicks flew. Every pupil in the hall had stopped eating dinner and was watching intently. The teachers were hurrying over as fast as possible.

"Petrificious Totalus."

Draco froze in the middle of throwing a punch at Blaise. He sported a cut lip and a swollen cheek. Blaise had a quickly blackening eye and a broken nose.

"I will take the spell off on the condition that you two boys go immediately to the hospital wing to heal your injuries. After you do, go to see Professor Snape for your respective detentions. Is that clear?" Professor Dumbledore said. His blue eyes were not twinkling for once.

"Prior Incantium."

The both boys, under the watchful eye of Professor Sprout, walked to the hospital wing.

"A fight!" exclaimed Madam Pomfrey. She bustled around getting them potions for their injuries.

"Sit on the chairs."

"Saludis." Draco's lip was healed immediately.

"I won't be able to do much for that cheek of yours, it will take time. But press this against it until the paste disappears." Madam Pompfry passed him a towel with a greenish substance. He looked at it in disgust but consented.

By the time Madam Pomphry was done with Blaise, Draco's cheek, though still a little sore, felt much better.

"Now go along to Professor Snape's classroom." Madam Pomphry pushed them out. "And don't get into anymore trouble."

"I am greatly disappointed in you two, if this happened to any other house, I would have, without a doubt, taken away fifty points, each. And a week of detention with Filch. But as both of you are in Slytherin, only twenty points will be deducted, and a detention." Snape stated. "Meet me here tomorrow at eight in the evening for your detention. That will be all."

Hermione had called her mother. The ambulance was here. Paramedics were hurrying to get out the stretcher to carry her father into the ambulance. The house was in a mess. Chaotic, literally.

Minutes later, Hermione was in the ambulance, with her father, on the way to the hospital.
