A/N: For the Review that said it'd be fun to do some battling...so here we go with some battling yeah?!


I woke up, cheeks stained in my own tears. It's not the kind of thing you really want to wake up to. Tears staining your bed, clothing and face. I sigh and walk into the bathroom stepping into the shower. I quickly dry my face and apply some light makeup. Then I change into a clean robe and walk down to breakfast.

Draco sees me sitting away from everyone else, so he comes and sits next to me. "Why aren't you sitting with the lot?" he asks looking concerned.

"You do remember what happened yesterday...right?" He visibly tensed next to me. "That arsehole." he says and I try not to laugh at his comment, but I can't help, but smirk and Draco obviously saw I was better. He draped his arm around my shoulder and we start eating.

Ginny comes over and sits next to me. "I heard...are...are you okay, my stupid wank of a brother. I don't know what the hell he was thinking...Harry and I don't know if something's wrong with him."

I shrug. "He's being a prick...okay...I don't know what he was thinking opening his flapping mouth and spewing hate everywhere." I say angrily. Draco looks amused and Ginny looks worried. "Hermione, you've...never..." She obviously looks surprised I'm being mean to someone. I just roll my eyes and take a sip of pumpkin juice.

Harry soon leaves Ron all alone and sits next to us. "Sorry about Ron...he's being a..." I quickly interrupt with a hug. "It's fine, he's not worth it." I say cuddling into Draco. "I'm mad at him, you guys are his friends too, you should be with him right now..." I say looking at the floor.

Draco snorts, "Yeah...no." he says kissing my forehead, "we're your real friends.." he says smiling and taking a bite of food.

"But, guys he looks miserable over there. Look at him!" we all look and Lavender Brown was cuddling up to Ron who was trying so hard to get away.

"Awww, little Ronnie has a girlfriend." Harry says smirking as Ron flipped his arm so Lavender fell onto the floor with a thud, then he runs out of the Great Hall before she could follow him.

"He was a jerk, we don't think that he was fair, and we'd rather be supporting you." Ginny says smiling then returning to her food eagerly.

I put my head on Draco's shoulder. "This is going to be a long day." I say, he chuckles and his shoulders move when he laughs so I sit back up and continue eating. "I just want school to come back so we can do something!" I say groaning.

"Why don't we go flying...I can teach you how to..." Draco says smiling. "Well, I do kind of want to learn..." I say, thinking maybe it would get me away from all this odd tension. The tension from Ron, then Harry because of our impromptu sexual intercourse. So maybe if I flew I could leave everything behind.

Draco smiles and pulls me up and out of the room. He accio's two brooms, his own Ice-bolt, it was better than a Fire-bolt Then he let me use his old Nimbus 2001 from second year.

He knew it was my favorite since it was black and it looked sleek. I don't know I just thought it looked pretty.

We walk to the Quidditch Pitch and start getting ready.

I put my leg around it and push off, resulting in me taking off way faster than I had thought I was going to go.

I scream and try to make it stop, which it does, resulting in me jerking foreword, almost falling off my broom.

Draco comes over and helps balance me.

"Watch what I do...okay?" he asks. I nod and he flies foreword then stops.

I do that. Then he dips down a bit. So I follow him.

He keeps doing things and I follow after him.

After his help I get really into it and I go really fast, no not as fast as Quidditch players, but the fastest I've been.

Then I land next to Draco. "Impressed?" I ask smirking. He nods and hugs me. I melt into his touch and we stand there hugging in the middle of the Quidditch pitch.


"Draco I'll be right back, I'm going to take a shower." I say walking into the Gryffindor common room to see the only person I didn't want to see.

"Oh look it's the Gryffindor Slut!" Ron says smirking. I roll my eyes and walk on. "Have a problem...well...You must be moody, did you take a pregnancy test? You seem to be getting larger!" he says rudely. I walk over and punch him in the nose.

"You stupid worthless fucking prick head! What does this have to do with you, do you just enjoy making fun of me. Is that your goal in life, to bring be to tears?" He smirks I get ready to swing at him and feel myself getting restraint.

Ron has out his wand. I can't breathe. I am on the floor unable to breathe. What has come over him? Has he suddenly turned into Lord Voldemort himself?

Then I remember something. Voldemort can penetrate the minds of innocent wizards and drive them to madness, until they're practically begging for death he will finally kill them.

I scream and see dots in my vision. I see a blurred figure then I can breathe again, but I don't see who it is, because all I see is black.

When I regain consciousness I see Harry pointing his wand at Ron who is laughing evilly.

They both cast spells and are now fighting.

"Harry, listen to me..." I say, he turns his head, but not before binding Ron's body temporarily so he couldn't get him off guard.

"What?" He asks looking worried. "Remember what you told me about Voldemort? How he can penetrate minds..." I say quietly, his eyes widen then he looks at Ron and unbinds him, watching him closely to see what he does.

"You filthy Mudblood, why are you still alive?" He asks pointing his wand and saying, "Crussio!" I feel pain rushing through my body. I scream and fall to the floor rolling around.

Harry looks absolutely terrified. "Harry!" I screech. He pulls his wand out and says, "Expelliarmus." Ron's wand comes flying to Harry. Harry casts the spell that Professor Snape has been using to help keep Voldemort from his mind.

Harry stays focused and suddenly Ron falls to the ground screaming. Harry takes in a deep breath and Harry grabs my arm and picks me up bridal style and runs me to the hospital wing.

"Hermione drink this, it'll help." and that's all I remember hearing before everything went black.
