Hospital wing

Disclaimer: Nope, don't look at me, i don't own them. But da plot is all me baby!

A/N: hey! Chapter 3 is FINALLY here! Plz read n review! I wanna answer some questions dat came up in my reviews, so here goes:

TO TAMERTERRA: The reason y Draco n Hermione were in da same common room is because they r da head boy n da head gurl. When Draco drank dat potion, he was jus hangin out wit his friends in da Slytherin common room. But they both share da head's common room. Ya, i kno, love potions aren't allowed into Hogwarts, but i wanted 2 mix it up alittle, n maybe stir up some trouble. Plus it's Snape's fault anyway 4 being careless with his teaching. He warned them, but did they listen? Course not, y should they?

"Hermione, what's the problem?" asked a concerned Madam Pomfrey to Hermione who was out of breath.

"Its, Malfoy...he fainted in the hallway, and..."

"Take your time dear. Where is he now?"

"I left him by the door. I couldn't take another step with him. He's heavy."

"Well, I would suspect so, all the quiditch training he does. He really is a fine boy for a girl your age."

"ME? We're rival enemies. I'm just helping him for this one time." Madam Pomfrey walked out of the ward and found Malfoy propped up against the wall next to the door as Hermione had said. She picked up his body, and Hermione helped carry his legs. They laid him down on one of the hospital beds.

"Gently, slower..."

"Miss Granger, I thought you didn't care about him." she said as they let Draco go.

"I don't. It's just that..."

"It's okay. You don't have to explain to me. Has he had any symptoms I should be concerned about?"

"I don't know. I'm not around him like that. I don't even like to be around him most of the time."

"Well, was he showing any sign of any changes while you were with him?"

"Hmmm, he was acting strange this whole day. But he didn't start acting strange until after potions class."

"After potions class huh? I see. What did you make in potions class?"

"Um, nothing. I can't tell anyone."

"You can trust me. Besides, if you want him to get better, I need to know what caused him to faint like this. You do want him to get better don't you?"

"Well, I suppose... Okay, Professor Snape had us make love potion. Look, I know we weren't supposed to, but for once we actually had fun in that class. He did tell us not to tell anyone or take it out of class. Wait, what does this have to do with anything?"

Madam Pomfrey continued on, totally ignoring her question.

"You made love potion! That Snape is up to his old tricks again I see. He can get into so much trouble with Dumbledore if this gets out."

"What?" for a bright girl, she just couldn't figure out this problem.

"Okay, maybe he accidentally consumed some of this potion. This potion makes him think that the first girl he sees after he drinks it, he's instantly in love with her for some days. I'm not sure how long this will last though."

"So, you're saying that Draco Malfoy is in love with me because of this potion?"

"It is possible. Or maybe he just likes you. Don't worry though, I know just how to cure it. But you have to participate too."

"Anything to make him stop acting like this."

"Okay, it says here that the person that is in love won't change back to their normal self until the person they're in love with accepts them. Then a few days later, they will change back."

"So I have to pretend to like Malfoy? You've got to be kidding me!"

"It's the only way. And with you two both being head boy and head girl, it makes the whole process easier. Your rooms are right across the hall from each other."

Hermione let out a long, stressful sigh. She then looked at Malfoy. 'He looks so peaceful when he's not insulting me. Maybe this can work. Yeah, it's only for a little while.'

"Okay. What do I do with him now though?"

"Oh, you can just leave him here. There's nothing I can do but let him sleep off the faint."

Hermione left the ward and walked through the empty halls.

'It's never been this quiet. I wonder what time it is. It must obviously be beyond curfew, I had to talk to Madam Pomfrey for a good hour or so. I sure hope Malfoy will be alright.'

That night Hermione couldn't sleep. She kept thinking how her and Malfoy were going to work out. She knew that this wasn't the real him, but apart of her wanted to believe. She had to admit that she was curious.
