Velvet: Hey hey hey! Recently I got on a Winx Club kick :/ so yeahhhh and I am typing this while i'm not feelin so hot kay? No really, I have a sore throat. It's not like I have the flu, but I sure don't feel good. Urgh, but whatever, cuz I still plan on cranking out a good chapter if it kills me!

Mrs. Weasley: Should I get you some tea?

Velvet: Wha- Huh- Who the- How the- EH? What're you doing here?

Mrs. Weasley: Witch, remember?

Velvet: Oh... yeah. Heh... and no, I don't like tea... TO THE STORY!


Hermione's POV

Stupid, stupid STUPID! What was I doing back there? Civil to Malfoy? I obviously didn't get enough sleep last night. Wait... he was being civil... back? Oh, i'm so confused. I obviously need rest, although the prefects bathroom would be a nice place to go too. Oh, but he could be there! Argh! I decided to just go to the common room. Unfortunately that proved difficult pretty quickly. As I was walking I heard fast footsteps, and sounds as if someone was calling for me. It got louder, and than I heard it.

"Hermione!" I turned my head towards the caller, and it was Ginny. She was running towards me, holding a letter in her hand, addressed to a name I couldn't completely make out, but I Saw an "R" and assumed it was Ron. "Have you seen Ron?" I shook my head, then nodded it. "Huh?"

"Quidditch Practice. Harry called private practice, because of too many slytherins watching without his knowledge. Wait, you're on the team. What're you doing here?" She looked really confused by what I said. Then she giggled slightly, sounding terribly like Luna.

"Without his knowledge? Then how does he know? And about me not being there, I just got back from the Hospital Wing." The Hospital Wing? Oh yeah... she was knocked unconscious at the last match.

"Oh yeah, how're you feeling?" She smiled at me.

"Fine, and can you give this to him when you see him? There's a Hogsmeade trip today and i'm going with Dean, so I need to change out of my quidditch robes." I was confused. "Madam Pomfrey never changed my outfit, it was only a few days ago, so she didn't bother." I nodded, and took the envelope from her hand. "Thank you so much!" With that she ran off to the common room. I sighed, and looked out the window, and saw Harry and the team zooming around, so I turned and left to the common room again.

I went up to the common room, and halfway up I ran in to Ginny, wearing a pair of blue jeans and a dark purple blouse that went well with her flaming red hair. She waved at me as she took off, and I waved back. She had taken off so fast, though, that it looked more like I was waving at nobody. I continued up, and in to the common room. I curled up on a chair close to the fire and conjured my homework from my dorm. I had two feet on silent spells due in three days, and decided to get started. To do a silent spell...

Draco's POV (Occurs during Hermione's POV)

I was Happy to get away from Granger. I wasn't quite sure as to where I was going to go, but it wasn't anywhere near her. I walked for a while, before I realized I had gone in a complete circle around the school. I'm not sure how I managed that but I did. I then decided to head over to Hogsmeade and hang out there.

"Draco!" Oh bloody hell. I grumbled and turned.

"Hello Pansy." I nodded at her, and turned back. Suddenly, before I knew what was happening, I was grabbed around the middle. I gasped, and immediately knew I was in trouble. The ribs that my mother had hastily healed, had been re broken by Pansy. She didn't know of course, but still. I grabbed my stomach, where the ribs had just broken, and crumpled completely. Obviously mother hadn't done a good enough job, mix that with Pansy's hugs and yep, my bones would break. Pansy gasped behind me and screamed for help.

"Someone! Somebody please help!" I heard murmurs, most about a slytherin asking for help. The pain was intense, and all I could think about was ending this pain in me. Even if it meant pulling out my wand and healing it myself, i'd end it. Then, Professor Snape came out, and parted the crowd quickly, and one glare sent the crowd running. He looked at me, then picked me up. He carried me all the way to the Hospital Wing, where he set me on the bed, and I proceeded to pass out from the pain.

The Next Day (Still Draco)

I woke up in the Hospital Wing, with Professor Snape at one side, Madam Pomfrey at the other, and Granger at the foot of my bed. Wait what? Granger? What was she doing here? As though she could hear my thoughts, she spoke.

"I wanted to make sure you were alright. When you put your hand over your ribs I got worried, and then this happened." She looked genuinely concerned.

"Thanks for caring but i'm fine. Madam Pomfrey heals bones quickly." She nodded.

"I know that, but you completely passed out." Professor Snape stood up and left abruptly, probably because there was nothing to see. Granger took his place, and sat down. "I'm allowed to be worried, Draco." A look of shock went over her face, and I know mine had one too. She called me Draco.

"You... called me Draco." She nodded, still in shock. Madam Pomfrey was just looking at the two of us. "Did you need something, Madam Pomfrey?" I asked, without anger.

"Yes. You are free to go Mister Malfoy." I nodded, and got up. Granger followed me out.

"So... are you going to be calling me that from now on?" She looked at me, and nodded again so I guess she still couldn't find her voice. "So i'll call you Hermione?" She nodded again. So, from that point on, we had called a truce.


Velvet: Hmmm... interesting. Well folks here ya go! I wish it was longer, but this'll do for now.

Draco: A truce? Really. My dad'll kill me.

Velvet: I'll talk to him. *knocks on door*

Lucius: Hello?

Velvet: *Punches him*

Draco: That'll do! He'll wake up soon though, so RUN!
