Chapter 15

Good Deeds and Beatings

"What?" Ron and Hermione said together.

"That's not right!" Ron said feebly, tears welling up in his beautiful eyes. He looked down at the limp, burned forms of his little sister and his best friend, and realized who must have done this. It was-

"AUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!" Hermione shrieked with pain and keeled over on the Hospital bed. Once again, pictures were floating through her mind, but this time, there were a roar of voices, none of them distinguishable from one another.

Ron and Hermione, standing in the middle of a grassy area, dressed in black. They were looking at the two headstones before them, which bore the names;

Ginny Weasley

And;

Harry Potter

It was really a shame that they had died so young...

"NOOOOOO!" Hermione screamed over and over again, now sobbing uncontrollably into Ron's robes.

"Hermione, what's the matter?"

Hermione couldn't hear him. She had already passed out.

Malfoy began to hum again as he skipped back to the Slytherin Common Room. It wasn't until he got there that he quite realized what it was that he had just done.

He had put Ginny Weasley in a tree and set it on fire, knowing that Harry Potter hadn't brought his wand with him.

Holy crap! He thought, realizing the severity of his situation.

Weasel he could handle. It was Hermione that he was worried about.

She's bound to have figured out that I did it by now! Oh, Merlin, she's gonna kill me! The Weasley girl was her best friend!

Then he thought of an even bigger problem; What if they died?

He would face a life sentence to Azkaban. He wouldn't be able to live with the knowledge that he had put Hermione into so much pain. He decided that there was only one other option left to get Hermione's attention.

And, as much as he hated to admit it, he had gone a bit far when he set the tree on fire, when he knew that Potter didn't have his wand…

The next morning, Hermione woke to find Ginny and Harry sleeping soundly in the beds next to her. They seemed to be okay… but what happened to their burns? Their flesh, which had been peeling off and was really disgusting looking the night before, was now flawless once more, as if nothing had happened.

"What in the name of Merlin," said Madame Pomfrey who had just spotted the burnless victims lying on the beds. She looked at Hermione.

"Did you do something?"

Hermione shook her head.

"No, I didn't." She gently shook a sleeping Ron, who's face was in her lap at the moment.

"Ron, wake up."

"What's going on?" He mumbled, rubbing his eyes.

"Hermione?" a croaky voice said on her right. It was Ginny.

"Yeah, Gin?"

"Where am I?"

"Hospital wing. Do you want something to drink?"

"Water. LOTS of water."

Hermione chuckled. She was so relieved that Harry and Ginny were both okay, but what had made their burns vanish overnight? Somebody besides Madame Pomfrey had to have done a Healing Charm.

Then, all the pieces fit together. There was only one person that would tie Ginny in a tree, set fire to it, knowing that Harry would climb and that they would both be in critical conditions if Harry and Ginny actually managed to survive the ordeal, and then heal them both overnight. She ran back to everyone and asked the now awake Harry,

"It was Malfoy, wasn't it?" Harry nodded. Hermione let out an angry roar.

"Just wait until I get my hands on him, the little idiot. He won't know what hit him," Hermione began pacing in a circle, scheming revenge and plotting the death of Draco Malfoy.

"Hermione, I know you're angry, but in all fairness to Malfoy, he doesn't stand a chance in a wizarding duel with you," Ron chuckled.

Hermione stopped pacing and looked at Ron.

"True, but who says I need a wand to beat the shi-"

"Okay, Hermione," Harry said, knowing that this was beyond any normal Hermione anger. When Hermione Granger came close to swearing, whoever or whatever she was cussing out must be in a LOT of trouble.

"I really don't need my wand. If I ever see that little creep again, I don't want you two to hold me back. I'll kill him with my bare hands!" She looked amused at the thought for a second.

"Of course," She said, beginning to grin at Ron, "there is always the ferret option." She and Ron broke out into peels of raucous laughter.

"Sorry, inside joke," Ron said, while wiping his eyes.

"Oh," said a very confused Harry and Ginny.

Two days later, Malfoy was still hiding from Hermione. He knew what she would do if she saw him anywhere. Once he finally came out of hiding, he was strolling along the grounds when he heard some voices, and one voice was that of someone he knew.

Hermione was surrounded by four huge guys(A/N: Like we are talking pro football players on steroids!lol.), looking for a way to escape. Malfoy watched and listened.

"Hey, how's about you and me go back up to my Common Room and have some fun?" slurred one of the guys, putting a hand on Hermione's shoulder.

"How about not?" Hermione said sweetly.

"Oh, come on, baby," The bay said, moving in on her. She shoved him away.

"HEY! DON'T PUSH ME!" he screamed, pushing her so hard, she fell to the ground. When that happened, all the rest of the boys began kicking and punching at every bit of flesh that they could reach.

Hermione was screaming in pain , and screamed even louder when chainsaw ripped through her head for the third time. This time, the voices were louder and the pictures were more life like.

Hooded figures surrounded a limp body. Two others were in chains. Then, a cold, high voice said,

"He is finished! Finally, I have won!" Hermione then saw who the limp body was. It was Harry.

She screamed louder still, clutching her head in agony.

The tall man with the high voice turned to the other two in chains and said,

"Ah, Granger, Weasley, how very kind of you to join us for this very momentous occasion. Bot don't worry, you'll be with Harry soon. And you'll see your family again, Mudblood." The man laughed shrilly. He raised his wand.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

Hermione was being ripped to shreds by the people that were kicking , throwing, and punching her. She managed to get her wand out. She pointed it randomly and cried,

"Stupify!" The spell hit a boy, who fell over backwards. Hermione seized the opportunity to start to run.

She knew that they would follow her. She just wasn't expecting a full-blown tackle. Luckily enough, they knocked her over, right outside of Professor McGonnagall's office.

"Boys! Really!" she cried upon seeing what was going on. After taking 30 points from each of the boys houses and sending them back to their Common Rooms, she turned to Hermione.

"Ms. Granger, are you alright?" Hermione didn't answer. She couldn't because her head was throbbing from her vision so painfully that she couldn't speak, and she was bleeding pretty badly.

"Let's get you up to Madame Pomfrey," the Professor said.

As Malfoy walked back to the dungeons, he was mentally kicking himself.

Why didn't you help her, you stupid prat? He thought to himself.

You were standing right there, and you just watched the whole thing happen without doing any thing at all!

He decided to try a lot harder to be nice. Even if he had already healed Potter and Weasley's burns…

Sooooooooooooooo, whatja think? Tell me puh-leazzzzeeeee! So just press the most beautiful button in the entire world. ( that by the way is the review button. Just to be Captain state the obvious!lol)
