A/N: I know that I just posted Chapter 3 but I finished this one as well, so why not just post it too, right? Well here is it! Enjoy!

"How could I be so dumb, it's all my fault." he said to himself.
"Don't be stupid it wasn't your fault I was the one laughing." she said startling him.
"Oh thank Merlin, you're awake. I thought you would never wake up."
"How long was I out for?"
"Three hours, but it seemed like forever and you never did answer my question."
"God Draco I just fainted and I was out for three hours and you're here bugging me about a question. I see how much you care."
"Oh, I do care but I still want to be your boyfriend." he smiled. "I'm really glad you're ok, Hermione." He bent down and kissed her forehead and walked out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Madam Pomfrey, when can I leave here?" I asked as she pulled the curtain back.
"Oh probably not until lunch, dear. Maybe a little after, Miss Granger." She was pouring me some water and taking some pills out of a drawer to give me. "Ok now take these and if your fevers gone in a little while we might let you out a before lunch. Now you rest a while I'll come back soon."
I slowly drifted off to sleep and began dreaming about me and Draco being together and what everyone thought but I was woke up before I could finish it and find out. "Ron what are you doing here, and Harry." I said his name with an evil glare. "I'm still mad at you for earlier."
"Yeah we know we came to apologize and to say that we won't send anymore howlers to your boyfriend."
"What he's not my boyfriend we just kissed… a couple of times. Well I guess we are boyfriend and girlfriend. Ok I forgive you but it still doesn't mean I will forget it, it was wrong and mean." I finished right as Draco walked in.
"What are these two doing here? They're the ones who caused the problem." he sneered at them.
"No Draco, dear, it was actually you I fainted from laughing not because I was mad at them."
"Yeah well you never told me what was so funny."
"It's nothing you were just smiling." I started laughing again at the mere thought but felt a pain in my side so I slowly stopped.
"It's not going to be any fun with out your laugh around, Hermione." Harry said.
"Oh don't worry Mr. Potter she'll be able to laugh in a few days." Madam Pomfrey said as she walked over to my bed. She took my temperature and said, "Well it seems you're alright Miss Granger you may leave."
"Thank you Madam Pomfrey." I slowly got to my feet with help from Draco and Harry who did nothing but stare at each other with anger. "Ok now if you two do not stop it I will break up with you Draco and disown you as a friend Harry." At this they both looked at me and then looked at each other.
"Truce?" Harry offered.
"Truce." Draco said.
"Now what about you, Ron, will you please put your differences aside?" I asked him.
"Yeah I guess, but if he hurts you can I kill him. Wait no, can I torture him and then kill him.
Draco was shocked. "I would never hurt Hermione. I might have all these years but I would never hurt her now that I see what I did was wrong and I'm sorry for I've done."
We were all in shock, Draco Malfoy just said what he was feeling the only other time he did that was when he was angry.
"Ok can we please go down to lunch I'm starving. I was out for three hours and then I slept for what two more so I haven't had anything since breakfast… wait I don't think I had breakfast."
"No you didn't have breakfast you were in here since 10 last night so I guess you were out for more than three hours. Since it is 11:00 right now." Draco stated.
"Oh thanks that makes me feel so much better. Now I'm going to be know as the girl who fainted from laughing and was out for one… two… three… four… 12 hours." I looked shocked. "So Draco you decided to lie to me so I didn't feel bad, huh?"
"No I just didn't realize what time it was."
"Sure, whatever." I loved doing this to people they get all upset and I would just laugh to bad I can't right now, that's so not fair.
"Oh calm down Malfoy." Harry said not able to catch himself. "Oh sorry bad habits die hard, Draco." he had some trouble saying his name but it came out.
"Yeah just calm down Dracie. I was just playing with you." I said and leaned forward and kissed his cheek.
"Please don't 'play' with me like that." he was smiling.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh Merlin I hate that. he thought. "And please don't call me 'Dracie'."
"Ok pooh bear, I won't."
He cringed at that, both Harry and Ron were laughing their heads off saying 'pooh bear' between breaths. But they stopped when Draco shot them death glares. They walked out of the Hospital Wing all following Hermione, Harry had one arm, Draco the other, and Ron behind her. Frankly she looked like she was pimping them all. (A/N: LOL that's so funny, just imagine that scene as they walk into the Great Hall.) As they walk in the Great Hall all heads turned on them, howls and whistles came from Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor tables, but boos and groans were coming from none other than the Slytherin's. Hermione leaned forward and kissed Draco on the cheek and thanked him for helping.
"I have a surprise for you later, Pooh Bear." He was wide eyes and thankful that she had only whispered it in his ear and not so all could hear.
Ginny, Luna, and Lavender came over to talk to Hermione and find out how she was and what the deal with her and Draco was.
"Ok guys we can take it from here." Draco, Harry, and Ron went to sit down. "So how are you and why was Malfoy with you?"
"I'm fine and Draco was with us because I go out with him. Oh and I told him that he has surprise tonight but I don't know what it's going to be, please help." she looked at them with pleading eyes.
"Alright but you have to tell use how you got together, but first you need to eat."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm so glad I have my girlfriends to help me I thought to myself. I started eating lunch with everyone still looking at me.
"Harry why is everyone staring at me?" I said shyly.
"Because you and Malfoy are together."
"But how do they know you, Ron, Draco, Ginny, Luna, and Lavender… Lavender why did you have to tell people now everyone knows." I got up and walked, well more like stormed over to Draco and planted a big one on him and walked out smiling. Hoops and howls were coming from every table in the Great Hall.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wow what was that for?" said Harry. "One minute she's pissed the next she's planting one on Malfoy."
"I guess he brings out her wild side." said Ginny who was still looking at Malfoy.
"I never want to see something like that again," Ron said shakily. "Do you hear me Harry, NEVER."
"Ok Ron we understand." he had kept repeating 'never ever'.
"I wonder where Hermione went come on Luna, Lavender, let's go find her." said Ginny getting up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Draco, what the bloody hell are you thinking," said Shane, the Slytherin prefect. "You do know she is one of the hottest girls in school and not to mention the most untouchable, besides Ginny Weasley?"
"Yeah I know I wouldn't go with her if she wasn't."
"What did she say to you before you sat down? I know she whispered something in your ear."
"Just that she has a surprise form me later." Howls were coming from the Slytherin table but soon stopped when Draco looked at the ones causing them.
"So do you really like her or are you just in it to break her?"
"I don't know Shane. I mean she keeps me balanced, but I would like to break her. She needs some discipline, she's been a bad girl." Shane was laughing his head off and there were more howls coming from the table, but Draco did not join in as he watched Ginny and the girls walk past.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was just about to reach my common room when Ginny, Lavender, and Luna came running up to me completely out of breath.
"Hermione!" they gasped, panting for air. 'What's… with… you… lately! First… you're all… pissed at… Malfoy and Harry…"
"And Ron!" Lavender added. "Don't forget Ron!"
"Yeah and Ron." Luna continued. "C'mon, Hermione. What's the deal? It's like you're freggin' schizophrenic or something."
"I'm just hormonal right now," I answered. My face was hot, and I got the horribly embarrassing feeling that I was turning red.
"Well, how do you know Malfoy's not just going to hurt you?" Ginny asked, her head tilted and her hands on her hips. Luna and Lavender turned to look at her, wide-eyed, as if they were asking 'What are you going on about?"
I shook my head. "I don't. But I'm going to take that chance." And so I turned and ran down the hallway to my common room. But I stayed close because as soon as they thought I was gone, Luna and Lavender turned to Ginny.
"What was that all about?" Luna asked Ginny, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Listen, Luna. Lavender," Ginny said in a low voice. "I'll tell you, but you both have got to promise me you won't say anything to Hermione."
"We promise, blah, blah, blah," Lavender said. "Now, c'mon, Ginny! Spill already!"
"Okay, okay!" Ginny cried. She lowered her voice. "I heard Malfoy talking to his little Slytherin buddies, and I heard him say he was only going out with Hermione so he could break her."
I gasped. I covered my mouth with my hand. Tears sprung to my eyes.
"Wow!" I heard Lavender say. "Really? Omigod, that's so mean!"
"That's downright horrible!" Luna agreed. "But seriously, Ginny, we really need to tell Hermione."
"No way." Ginny protested. "She'll learn. Don't worry about it. Everybody gets hurt. It happens and she'll get over it."
"I hope you're right." Luna said as she, Ginny, and Lavender started back towards their dorms.
When they were gone, I went back to my own dorm, hoping just to see my "dear" boyfriend.
