Disclaimer: I own nothing! Some of the plot is based on the movie "A Walk To Remember," but other than that, the only thing I own is the plot.

A/N: Like I said in the disclaimer, some parts of this story are from the movie "A Walk To Remember". This is also gonna be a Draco/Hermione fic. Don't like, don't read, it's that simple. I don't want any hate mail. Anyways, here's the fic…

A/N: Sorry this chapter took a long time. I was busy with grad stuff and loads of homework. After this chapter, another won't be up for a while cause exams start next week. But I do have the next one already started.

Chapter 9

"Hermione, you just got out of the hospital after fainting. Of course you're gonna be sick, but it'll be over in a few days," Draco said, trying to comfort her.

"No, it's not that. I mean I'm sick..." Hermione said, but paused. She couldn't tell him.

"Please Hermione, whatever is wrong, you can tell me."

"I have leukemia."

"What?" Draco asked. "Isn't that cancer?"

"Yes, it's a form of cancer," Hermione answered him.

"But you're only 17. How could you have cancer?" Draco asked.

"I don't know Draco. I just do ok," Hermione said, raising her voice and sounding like she was going to cry any minute.

"I'm sorry Hermione," Draco replied, putting his arms around her. "Is there anything that Madame Pomfrey can do to make you better?"

"No, she said that she couldn't because this was a more serious muggle disease that can't be tampered with."

"So does this mean that you are gonna die from this?" Draco asked. Hermione nodded sadly. "Did she tell you how long?"

"No, she just said I shouldn't be too worried," Hermione replied. What she really wanted to do was to go up to her room and write to her parents. Let them know about everything that happened.

"I can't keep doing this! I can't! The potion tastes awful for one, and secondly, there is no way I'd be able to deal with you like this," Draco said, getting up and starting to walk away.

"What are you talking about?"

Draco turned around. "You didn't honestly believe that this was the real me, did you? This whole time I've been taking a form of Polyjuice potion to be just like that pretty boy Potter so that you would tutor me. I knew that you wouldn't tutor me if I were acting like myself, so I took the potion. Something must have went wrong though, because after I took the potion, it seemed like Harry and I switched personalities. He became the arrogant jerk, and I became the person everyone loved. But I'm sick of being a sappy, love sick fag, so I'm through with this, and with you. I'm going back to being the real me, and you can have pretty boy Potter back the way he was. Thanks for the tutoring though," Draco said, winking at Hermione and then leaving.

Hermione just said there for a few seconds dumbfounded, then she got up and ran to her dorm crying. When she got to the common room, Ron and Harry were sitting on the couch talking about how weird it was that Harry had been such a jerk the past few weeks. When they seen Hermione run past them, they both got up and ran after her.

"'Mione, what's wrong?" Harry asked, being back to his usual self, and having no idea that Hermione and Draco just broke up.

"How did things go with Madame Pomfrey?" Ron asked.

"I have leukemia," Hermione said, between sobs.

"It's going to be okay, 'Mione," said Harry, wrapping his arms around Hermione tightly, and cradling her head on his shoulder. "I know I've been a jerk to you lately but I promise we'll help you through this. The two of us, right Ron?"

"Of course," Ron replied. "What else did Madame Pomfrey say?"

"She said that since it was a serious Muggle disease, she didn't want to use magic to tamper with it because she could make it worse. She also said that it's in the early stages, and there are treatments available, but some people stop responding to treatments after about a year."

"I feel like I have to ask, but is there any other reason that you are crying?" Ron asked.

"Draco and I just broke up."

"Why?" Ron and Harry both asked, both of them feeling relieved because they knew Draco wasn't right for her.

"Let's just say that he's the reason Harry's been such an arrogant jerk lately. Draco's been taking Polyjuice potion to act all nice like Harry, but he made the potion wrong and instead of him acting like Harry, he and Harry switched personalities. Harry's been acting like Draco these past few weeks."

"That would explain why I dumped you. I wasn't in my right mind, because I'd have to be an idiot to dump someone as amazing as you," Harry said.

A/N: Cliffie again! Ha ha! I seem to love cliffhangers with this story. Actually, I've gotten some e-mails about when the next chapter would be up and I felt like I should put another one up soon. Sorry to disappoint anyone, but don't expect too many more chapters. I've started another story that I think is much better than this one. It is one that I find much more interesting and more fun to write, so I may be giving up on this one soon. As always, read and review.
