The day went by quickly and soon it was time for Ancient Runes. Hermione had met Malfoy just outside of the Great Hall and now the pair were making their way up to Ancient Runes. "Here goes." Hermione murmured. Malfoy looked down and smiled at Hermione, she was pretty adorable when panicked, he thought. The two were still discussing ideas when they reached the classroom. They were five minutes early and found Lavender and Ron wrapped in each other kissing passionately. Hermione took a deep breath and looked to Malfoy who was watching the two disgusted. A devious smile spread across his face and easily he placed his arms around Hermione's waist. Hermione felt herself go red and cautiously placed her trembling hands on top of Malfoy's. Malfoy placed his head on her shoulder and sent his lips to her ears, sending a shiver down her spine. "This is a pretty good warm up." Malfoy whispered softly. Hermione smirked and allowed her inner Slytherin take over. Malfoy cleared his throat and glared towards Ron and Lavender, a slightly smug smile on his lips at the same time. Ron and Lavender pulled apart and Ron's jaw dropped. "Let go of her Malfoy." Ron hissed moving away from Lavender and over to Malfoy and Hermione. "Hm, no I don't think I will." Malfoy replied coolly not moving from Hermione.
"I said let go of her!" Ron snapped. Malfoy nuzzled into Hermione's neck and she jumped, feeling a few butterflies leap to life in her belly. "Why should he?" Hermione asked, trying to hide the nerves in his voice. "She's not yours Weasel, she belongs to anyone who wants and deserves her." Malfoy replied enjoying Ron's frustration and obvious jealousy. "You don't deserve her that's for sure." Ron said bravely. Malfoy scoffed. "Maybe, but at least I wouldn't cheat on her." Hermione grinned as Ron fell back noticibly, that had hit a tender spot. "I'm not proud of what I did Malfoy!" Ron yelled.
"Clearly." Hermione scoffed shooting Lavender a smug smile at the shock that she appeared to have about the fact two boys fighting for Hermione not her. "Stay out of it Hermione." Ron snapped.
"Don't talk to her like that." Malfoy replied sharply. Ron clenched his fist and stalked over to Malfoy and Hermione. "Let. Her. Go." Ron said trying to keep calm.
"No." Malfoy replied simply, "She's not your girlfriend, or your friend so why should I do something that you want just because Hermione is with me not you." Malfoy reasoned, Hermione was impressed by his calmness and logic in the current situation, it looked like Ron was about to punch Malfoy. Malfoy sensing this smirked and let go of Hermione who looked at him in surprise. "See I've let go of her. Happy now?" Malfoy said, Hermione noticed the mischief sparkling in his voice and eyes. Ron nodded and began to back away slowly. Malfoy grabbed Hermione's hand and pulled her back, spinning her to look at him gracefully. "Sorry about this." He whispered. "But I really want him to feel your pain." Malfoy continued. Hermione looked at him in confusion and before she knew it Malfoy had sent his lips against hers, Hermione was taken aback but didn't pull out, even though Hermione knew this was a stage kiss she desperately wanted to savour it, so ignoring the butterflies in her stomach she deepened the kiss slightly- not too much, but enough - Hermione felt herself be pulled backwards away from Malfoy. She glared at Ron, she had been enjoying. Yes enjoying that kiss.
Before Hermione could move Ron had dived at Malfoy and sent him backwards. "Stop!" Hermione yelled, she leapt forward and tried to grab Ron around the waist. She tried to pull him back but struggled greatly. "Well help me!" Hermione spat at Lavender. "Nah, I'm good." Lavender replied with a sickly sweet smile. Hermione narrowed her eyes and continued to try and pull Ron off Malfoy. She fell backwards when she felt something hard make contact with her face. She coughed and spat on the floor before feeling blood trickle down from her nose. She winced and stood up. "Ron!" Hermione yelled. "Stop it right now!" She demanded. Ron turned behind him to glare at Hermione but stopped when he spotted the blood from her freshly broken nose and the large red mark, which would be a bruise soon enough, no doubt, circling Hermione's right eye. "Hermione. . . I'm sorry." Ron panted. Hermione shook her head and made to stand up but fell back after a sickening wave of dizziness from the impact made her lose her footing. Ron made to help her but was stopped by Lavender who held him back just as professor Babbling left the room. "Miss Granger! Mr Malfoy what on earth happened to you both?" She asked in surprise. "It was Weasley miss." Malfoy said.
"Well both of you get straight to the Hospital Wing, Mr Malfoy help Miss Granger she looks like she could pass out at any moment." Hermione looked at Malfoy and saw him nod. A bruise forming around his eye and a swollen lip. She watched Malfoy walk over to her through blurry vision. "Come on Hermione." He said taking her waist and pulling her up. Hermione staggered slightly but Malfoy placed his arm around her securely and began to walk slowly up to the Hospital Wing.
As the two were nearing the Hospital Wing Hermione faintly heard her name being shouted. She looked in the general direction of the voice and saw the spinning outline of a ginger and a blond. Hermione narrowed her eyes and saw it was Ginny and Luna who were hurrying over to her. "Malfoy what happened?" Ginny demanded. "Your brother started on me and Hermione tried to stop him and she got what looks to be a broken nose and a black eye." She heard Malfoy explain, politely, Hermione then felt her right side raise a little as Luna took hold of her to help Malfoy. "I'll go on ahead and tel Madam Pomfrey." Ginny said, a sense of urgency in her voice. Did she really look that bad? Before she could think anymore of it she felt herself being dragged forward so began to move her feet to help, tripping over them slightly.
When they reached the Hospital Wing, Hermione's vision was beginning to go back to normal but she kept getting waves of dizziness and a sick feeling in the pit of her belly. "Come, come we need to get Miss Granger on a bed immediatly." A bossy yet concerned voice said. Hermione looked up to see the matron Madam Promfrey hurrying over. Malfoy and Luna led Hermione to the nearest bed and sat her down cautiously. "She looks like she's about to throw up." Luna said mystially. Madam Pomfrey handed her a little bowl and as soon as Hermione had gripped it she vomitted noisily into it. "She's in shock." Madam Pomfrey said sharply. "What happened? Look at me Miss Granger." Madam Pomfrey said raising Hermione's head so she could look her directly in the eyes. "Ron Weasley hit her Miss, and me." Malfoy explained, not looking away from Hermione. Madam Pomfrey examined her, muttering things to herself. "She definitely has a broken nose and a bit of bruising around her eye, doesn't look like anything to serious but I think she should stay her for tonight." Madam Pomfrey said professionally. Hermione nodded and felt herself fall back as another wave of dizziness took over. "Right, Miss Weasley, Miss Lovegood help her change, Mr Malfoy, come with me so I can check you out, you don't look too bad though." Madam Pomfrey flicked her wand and conjured a fresh nightie to the end of her bed before she wandered off with Malfoy. "I'm disgusted with Ron." Ginny growled, helping Luna undress Hermione. "As soon as you're sorted I'll go tell Harry and mum then 'speak' with my dear brother." Ginny hissed. Hermione winced slightly at a pain in her nose but nodded.
After a fifteen minute struggle, Hermione was dressed in a Hospital night and layed beneath a soft white blanket. Madam Pomfrey reappeared with Malfoy behind her, his lip looking perfectly fine but the bruise still appearing, Madam Pomfrey had clearly cast a spell to heal his lip. "Now, hold still Miss Granger." Madam Pomfrey said gently. Hermione nodded but stopped as her head started spinning again, Madam Pomfrey waved her wand in a tricky little manner and with a sickening crunch Hermione's nose was back to normal. Hermione whimpered in pain before falling back against her pillow. "Luna and I will get going, we'll come visit you tomorrow with Harry." Ginnny said gently.
"Okay." Hermione replied weakly. Ginny hugged Hermione softly before turning and leaving with Luna. "I best get going too." Malfoy murmured awkwardly.
"I'm sorry about Ron." Hermione said weakly. Malfoy shook his head and laughed a little. "It was worth it." Was all he said before getting up. "Take care Granger I might come and see you tomorrow." He called boredly. Hermione nodded and watched him leave. Madam Pomfrey came over swiftly. "I think you best get some rest, I'll let you out tomorrow night depending on how you are." Madam Pomfrey informed the brunette. Hermione nodded and lay further back on the bed and slipped her eyes shut, letting sleep overcome her.
