Hermione felt eyes on her as she sat in between Draco and Blaise but she ignored them as best as she could. She knew that the whole of the Great Hall was probably wondering why she, Harry, Ginny, and Luna were all sitting at the Slytherin table but she wasn't up to answering any questions. She ate slowly because as soon as she took the first bite of the food that Blaise had put on her plate she started feeling sick again. About half way through her plate she put her fork down and sighed. "Well I was hungry but now I can't eat."
Blaise looked at Hermione in concern and asked "Why can't you eat?"
Hermione shook her head and said "I started feeling sick after the first bite. If I eat anymore I'm not going to be able to keep down what I did eat."
Blaise frowned and said "You need to eat though Mia."
Hermione sighed again and said "I know that I need to Blaise but what can I do? The anti-nausea potion that Professor Snape gave me isn't helping me."
Draco frowned at that and then stood up. "Stay right where you are Mia and I will be right back."
Hermione nodded and then leaned her head on Blaise's shoulder. "I'm feeling dizzy again too."
Harry frowned from where he was sitting across from Hermione and Blaise and said "Is that normal?"
Hermione shrugged her shoulders and said "I'm not sure if it is or not Harry."
Ginny looked up from where she was sitting and said "Some dizziness is expected but I don't think that Hermione should be as dizzy as she is. I think that after breakfast we should head to the infirmary and let Madam Pomfrey take a look at Hermione to make sure that everything is okay."
Luna nodded. "I agree with Ginny. It could be that Hermione's blood pressure is either high or low. If that is the case then she is going to need to be monitored closer than she already is."
Hermione sighed and groaned. "I want to go to class."
Harry shook his head. "You will do what you are told to 'Mione because you are not thinking just about yourself anymore."
Hermione gave a reluctant nod. "Fine but first we ask Professor Snape what he thinks. I really don't fancy a trip to the infirmary if I don't need to go."
Harry, Blaise, Ginny, and Luna all exchanged looks and then said at the same time "Deal."
Just as they said that Draco came back with Severus and Albus and said "Let's go to an empty classroom and talk."
Hermione opened her eyes and groaned "I don't think I can move right now Draco because everything is spinning."
Draco frowned and looked at Severus who said "Miss Granger we will help you out of the Great Hall but we need to go now. I will do a diagnostic test on you when we get to an empty classroom to decide if you need to go and spend the day with Poppy or not."
Hermione sighed and then said "Draco can you help me up please? I really don't want to fall right now."
Draco stepped forward and grabbed a hold of Hermione and helped her stand up and then he wrapped his arm around her waist to hold her up when he felt her sway. The concern that he was already feeling doubled as she swayed yet again. Without even asking her he swept her feet off the ground and then held her bridal style as he followed Severus out of the Great Hall with Blaise, Ginny, Luna, Harry, and Albus. Once he got to the classroom Severus walked into he sat Hermione down on the desk and held her steady as Severus whipped out his wand and cast a few diagnostic charms. He frowned yet again when Hermione's eyes fluttered shut. "Hermione?"
Hermione groaned but didn't answer him. She was feeling very tired all of a sudden and couldn't even get her eyes to open back up. She heard someone whispering but couldn't tell who it was as she lost the battle and went unconscious.

Severus frowned when he read the readings of the diagnostic test and then he looked at Draco, Blaise, Harry, Ginny, and Luna. "What did Miss Granger eat or drink at breakfast?"
Blaise frowned and said "I gave her some eggs, sausage, and orange juice to drink."
Severus frowned and said "Did anyone else have orange juice to drink?"
Draco shook his head. "Hermione is the only one who drinks orange juice. She has it every morning for breakfast instead of having pumpkin juice or tea."
Severus swore and then looked at Albus. "We need to get Miss Granger to the infirmary. It seems that someone has somehow tampered with her morning drink. She will need to be monitored all day by Poppy to make sure that no harm has come to her or her babies. I will also go to my potion stores and grab a Bezoar because it looks like she has been poisoned."
Albus looked at Severus with shock in his eyes and said "Are you sure Severus?"
Severus nodded. "I am sure Albus. Besides that her blood pressure is high again."
Albus nodded and then looked at Blaise, Draco, Harry, Ginny, and Luna. "You five are to stay in the hospital wing with Miss Granger today. I will alert your Professor's to your absence and tell them why. I don't want anyone else near Miss Granger unless it is Severus, Minerva, Remus, Molly, Arthur, Poppy, or myself. Do I make myself clear?"
The five students nodded and Blaise said "We won't let anyone near her Headmaster."
Albus nodded. "I'll alert the others Severus while you go and get the Bezoar and take it to the infirmary. Mr. Malfoy I would like for you to carry Miss Granger to the infirmary. I will have something sent to the infirmary for you all to eat but I want you all to check your food before eating."
The five students nodded again and Ginny asked "Headmaster could you alert Mom please? She will probably want to come here and help Madam Pomfrey take care of Hermione."
Albus gave a nod and then said "I will do that Miss Weasley. Now you all get Miss Granger to the infirmary and tell her what Severus has found out and that he will be there shortly."
Once again the five students nodded and Draco picked Hermione up carefully and walked quickly out of the room with the other four hot on his heels. Once he got to the infirmary he yelled for Poppy and told her what Severus found and then laid Hermione down on a hospital bed gently. He stepped back slightly so that Poppy could get to Hermione but like the others he stayed close enough that he could help if needed. Him and the other four all just hoped that Hermione would be okay.
Draco let out a sigh of relief when two minutes later Severus was in the infirmary and giving Hermione the Bezoar. After both Severus and Poppy stepped away from Hermione's bedside he stepped forward and conjured a chair and sat down next to the bed. He looked around and saw that Blaise, Luna, Harry, and Ginny had done the same and then he looked at Severus and Poppy. "Will Mia be alright?"
Severus sighed. "We won't know until later Draco. I am going to go to class but I will be back after the class to check on you all. If you need anything send me a message."
Draco nodded and watched as his Godfather walked out of the infirmary and then he went back to watching to Hermione.
