Chapter 16: Uh-Oh!

Hermione gritted her teeth and wiped her tears away quickly as she walked quickly down to the hallway, looking for Draco.

That idiot. He hit my friends! He won't get away with this, not if I do something about it.

She ran down the stairs to the hallway, not looking where she was going, and she glanced around, frowning.

It's not that difficult to find him. Blonde hair, blue eyes, green robe, nose high up in the air, arrogant streak. Come on!

"Where is he?" Hermione muttered, peering here and there. She bit her lower lip and she looked around again.

"Looking for me?" Hermione spun around as she heard that voice.

It was him alright. "Draco," she whispered, as tears stung her eyes once again.

Draco smiled at her, and took a step nearer to her. Her grip on the stairs' banister tightened, as she gulped.

He brought his face close to hers, and slowly, reached out, and neatly tucked some of her loose strands of her hair behind her ears. Hermione shivered at his touch.

"Hi, Hermione. I've been missing you, and I think you do too, that's why you're here-"

Hermione pushed away his hand and jerked back. She snapped out of her reverie, and glared at him, her tears dried up.

"I'm not here to be your girlfriend!" she spat. "I'm here to get you for what you did to my friends!"

Draco sighed, and ran his hand through his blonde hair. "Look, Hermione that weasel deserved it-"

"You have no right to call Ron a weasel! You-you snivelling little pest! How could you do that to him? He is my best friend!"

"Yeah, he's such a great pal that he backstabbed you!"

"He was in love with me!"

"And you think I wasn't?"

"He didn't know about us!"

"Oh, so I see the problem." Draco glared at Hermione, and a crowd soon started to appear around the two of them.

"It's not alright for us to tell everybody our relationship when we're together, but when we have broken up, you tell the whole world? God, Hermione, you're PATHETIC."

"I only told my friends, Draco! Not anybody else!"

"Oh, but during the relationship, it wasn't okay to tell them? Weren't you afraid that they would not accept us?"

"I didn't know that they would be perfectly fine with the fact that-"

"That we had a relationship, and that we still love each other? Don't worry, now the whole world knows!" Draco yelled, gesticulating wildly, as the crowd gasped in astonishment.

Hermione looked around, panicked, as her lower lip quivered.

"Draco, you're a liar. I don't love you anymore," Hermione lied, even though she knew what Draco was saying was true.

"Oh. You don't?" Draco bent down again, and faced Hermione. Cupping her face in his hands, he whispered angrily.

"I know you, Hermione. Don't act. I'm ready to admit that I love you still, but, when you deny it, you're just a coward. Get a life, Hermione. And stop lying to yourself. Listen to your heart."

Hermione shook her head, and turned away.

"No, Draco. I've listened. Long and enough." She turned back to Draco, and screamed.

"Listening to my heart got me into this with-with you, and look what's it's done to me. It's hurt me so bad. I won't make that mistake again-especially with you."

The tears started flowing, but Hermione made no effort to stop them.

Draco looked at her stonily. "Liar," he murmured, and looking at her intensely, he walked to wards her.

Hermione's eyes widened in horror, and she took a few steps back, inching away from Draco. Then she spun around, and started to run-as fast as she could.

She didn't see where she was going, and she missed many steps while on her way down. She sobbed loudly, and she buried her face in her hands. Then, it happened.

As Hermione didn't see where she was going, she missed many steps, and suddenly lurched forward and tumbled. She screamed as she fell, and rolled down the steps.

Draco spun around, once he had heard Hermione's scream. He stood transfixed with horror as he saw Hermione roll down the steps, and finally land on the foot of the steps, without making any movement at all. The crowd gasped, as Draco ran down the steps, and carried Hermione's body. Hermione was quiet, her eyes were closed, and her head was bleeding-very badly. Draco's heart leapt and he looked around for assistance.

"She's hurt! Very badly! She's bleeding! Somebody call Madam Pomfrey!" he yelled, as a few of the students rushed off to find the nurse. Draco heard Hermione whimpering, and relief swept through him.

"It's okay, Hermione. Madam Pomfrey is coming. You'll be alright."

Harry, Ginny, and Ron were pacing around, worried for Hermione.

"What is she going to do with Malfoy, Gin?"

Ginny looked at her brother. "I don't know Ron, but shewas very angry."

"Well, she has every right to be angry. But i'm still worried for her. What's she getting herself into?"

Harry got up from the armchair he was sitting on."I have to see what's going on, "he said, and started walking to the door, when Ginny pulled him back.

"Harry, let them solve it by themselves. You don't worry at all. Hermione's a smart girl." Ginny smiled at Harry, as she squeezed his hand.

All of a sudden, the dormitory's door burst open, and there stood a 5th year student. His face was suffused with colour, and he looked worriedly at them. Harry frowned. "What's wrong? What happened?"

The student looked concernedly at them, at their confused faces.

"It's Hermione. She-She's in-injured. She's in the hospital."
