Umm, first off, thanks for the reviews!!! I have read the books, but I've seen the movies more recently. So, I know everyone is a bit off with their personalities and such, but whatever. It's not meant to be true so…. Enjoy the next chapter!!!-Gaerniko

Harry quickly headed back to the Gryffindor common room, with Ron at his side. They'd almost arrived when a bright light shone in their faces. "Potter, Weasly, Granger, you aren't supposed to wander around at night," said a prim and proper voice, Professor McGonagall.

"Sorry," said Harry, "but Hermione is unconscious, we were just bringing her to Madame Pomphery."

"I shall take Miss Granger, and as for you boys, you best go back to your dorms…" she stated strictly as ever.

Harry began to hand Hermione over to her, but she wouldn't let go of his arm. McGonagall also noticed the problem. "Potter and I will take Hermione. Ron, goodnight."

--------------------------------------------------------

Ron grumbled to himself as he headed back to the common room alone. He was greeted inside by Fred and George who'd noticed his disappearance. "Where were you?" they asked in unison.

"You could've been killed," said Fred.

Ron lost his temper, "I could have lost my life? Have you seen Hermione? She's the one that almost died. Why aren't you worried about her?"

"Blimey, is she okay?" asked Fred and George, suddenly more concerned than ever.

"She's with Harry right now," said Ron, cooling down, "But you won't guess who saved her…"

"Who?" they chorused curiously.

"Draco Malfory."

They broke in to laughter, "You want us to believe that Malfory save Hermione." After finally recovering from their laughter, they asked, "But seriously, is she okay?"

"I don't know…" Ron replied, scared for her, "I'm sure she'll be fine…" He was trying to convince himself more than anyone else.

---------------------------------------------------

A month later, Hermione was better than ever. She was her normal self again. She never did learn who'd saved her, but suspected it to be either Harry or Ron. All she'd remembered was falling off a broomstick and waking up in the hospital bed.

"Come on Hermione, we're going to be late!" yelled Ron.

Today was the day to go to Hogsmede. Hermione really didn't feel like going, so she said, "Maybe next time…"

"Oh, okay, well….then I'll see you later!" he called, walking away from the library.

Hermione sighed, Ron could be such an idiot at times.

"Hey Hermione," called Harry, as Ron left, he'd entered the room.

"Yes?" she snapped, getting a bit annoyed. It wasn't her fault that Ron had been on her last nerve this morning. She'd been so preoccupied with more important things. For instance, she had to make up loads of work and it wasn't easy to finish in the time she had. So, she was much crabbier than normal.

"Umm, I was just wondering if you wanted me to stay here with you….since you aren't going to Hogsmede…" his voice trailed off.

"You don't have to do that," she said, calming down, "you go and have fun!" she faked a smile as she went back to her work.

"Are you sure?" he asked, uncertain.

"Yes," she sighed, "now go!"

Harry found it strange that she wouldn't come, but decided to leave her alone about it. After all, getting on her nerves wouldn't help anyone.

"Alright, then….I'll see you later…" he waved slightly then walked back out of the library.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Harry met Ron at the front gate of Hogwarts. "Hermione isn't coming, is she?" asked Harry. He assumed that Ron already talked to her. "No, she can be so stubborn. Good thing we didn't tell her about her parents. She might've gone insane on us…"

"When do you think we should tell her?" Harry pondered on the thought, "I mean she has a right to know…"

"Bloody hell Harry, are you gonna tell her?!?" exclaimed Ron. He was horrified! If Harry told her, she would be scarred for life!

"No," said Harry after considering for a moment. "I won't tell her…"

"Good!" Ron said as they headed toward Honeydukes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hermione didn't waste anytime. She wrote all the papers due that week and the next. She was about to start her potions essay she'd missed when she heard footsteps. It wasn't a moment later before none other than Draco Malfory walked through the door.

"Hello, Mud-Blood…" he stated coldly, "have you heard the news?"

"What do you want Malfory?" she snarled, defensively.

"So you haven't then, have you?" he pretended to not hear her, "Since its none of my business, I'll let Potty and Weasel tell you….but if they're such great friends, why didn't they tell you already?" He sneered the words like poison.

"What do you mean?" Hermione asked, letting her guard down, looking up at him, actually scared.

Draco could see the fear in her eyes. He felt bad, but knew she had to be told. "Hermione, your parents are…"
