Please look at page 1-6 for disclaimer. I have been reading too many HealerPomfreys story's (she is very good btw) so that's where this chapter came from.

As soon as I made it back to my room I fell straight into my bed. For a cheap mattress and lousy blanket, it had never felt so comfy. My head felt like it had a ton of bricks on it and all I wanted to do was sleep. I started to sneeze again but thankfully this time I had some tissues near by. I walked over to Ginny's bed to get her blanket but with even both the blankets on I felt frozen cold. I was just about to go to sleep when Ginny burst into the room, making sure her presence was known.

"Go on Mione, you better explain what happened out there. Come on, tell me. Mione are you alright?" she said as she walked over to my bed "Hello, earth to Mione, are you o-k?"

"Hey Ginny, please can you be a bit quieter!" I was shocked at how hoarse my voice sounded. My throat cried out in agony from just that one sentence.

"Mione can you look at me please. Wow, you really don't look that good. Your as white as a sheet, I'm used to the rosy cheeked Mione. Bloody hell Hermione, your head is on fire. You stay here and I'll be right back!"

"No, don't go" I tried to call out but my voice didn't get very far.

After I don't know how long Ginny returned with Harry and Ron. By this time a cold shiver had took over my body and with the furry blanket on from stores I still felt like I was in the Arctic. Ginny tried to explain to me that the boys had snook into the first aid room and got various pieces of equipment that they thought would come in handy. Ron placed his freezing hand of my cheek and i leaned forward into the beautiful cold sensation.

"Well, at least she has some colour back in her cheeks!" Ginny said rather dimly

"Um Ginny, with rest of her white and her cheeks looking very red with white over them, we can see that that isn't a good sign" Harry whispered

Ron made me open my mouth and carefully placed the thermometer into my mouth. At first the coldness of it felt painful but it began to warm up inside me, making it more unnoticeable. Just as I got used to it, Ron slowly pulled it out looking very worried. He showed it to Harry who looked equally worried and then to Ginny who just looked blankly at it. After a bit of muttering between them they all moved from either on or next to my bed and started moving about. Harry ran out of the room followed by Ginny while Ron found as many blankets as possible and started to put them on me. Ginny returned soon after with a cold towel that went instantly onto my head. I slowly turned over to the thermometer which read 39.2°. By anyone's book that isn't good. Just as I turned over I began to sneeze again. I heard my name mentioned a few times and I heard the words flu and cold but they couldn't decide what it was.

Harry returned explaining that he had told someone I was unwell and I wish to stay in bed all day and I am allowed one person to stay with me. I was about to say Ginny but she was shaking her head and pointing to her and Harry. Before I had chance to speak Ron volunteered to stay with me while the other two left with Ginny silently saying thank-you to me. Ron just looked at me, kissed the top of my head and let me sleep. When I woke up he was still here but he had a book with him. When he realised I was awake he quickly shut it and climbed up to my bed.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" he asked gently

"Much better!" I noticed that my voice was less hoarse.

"Good job, you've been asleep all day, its now about 6:00. Don't worry I've already had something to eat and I brought a bit for you."

"Thanks but I'm really not hungry. Although, I wouldn't mind carrying on where we left off before,"

"Oh really, and where abouts was that?" he whispered while he leaned in closer to me

"I would say about here..."I replied, starting to lean up to him, just as Ginny entered making us break apart.

"Oy, Ron! The guys are waiting in the dorm for you and I'm in charge of Ginny so if I was you I would get going!" she shouted

"Why what's going on?" I asked

"Oh, nothing just the last night disco and I'm going to get you ready while the boys tackle Ron! Don't worry, he was taking care of you, your fever is down and you certainly look better so no escape!"

"Fine, let's just get this over and done with!"
