"Excuse me Mr Diggory. I need to give Miss Granger this poton to help stop her dying. Could you please move a little." she said.

Cedric didn't move.

"Now, please, Mr Diggory." she said again sternly.

"Bite me. You can give her the potion while I'm here." Cedric sneered.

Madame Pomfrey grew red in anger.

"I've had enought of your attiude, Diggory. As of tomorrow NO-ONE may visit Miss Granger whilst she is in here!" she yelled.

"That's not fair!" he shouted, standing up. He was a little bit taller than she was. He felt like hitting the older Matron, but decided for his better judgement and turned and hit a stone pillar near Hermione's bed.

The sudden impact caused his hand to break.

"I don't hit any of the female kind no matter how much i feel like it or hate them." he winced as Pomfrey cleaned and bandaged his hand.

"I've got no more skele-gro left so it'll have to heal naturally." she said once she had done. "You made the right chioce in hitting that pillar but a foolish choice too. You're a good man, Diggory. Keep your right hand out of physical distance for a week."

"That's my writing hand though."

"Well, you'll have to stay here, because knowing your temper you're going to hit another pillar or a wall." she told him.

"That's a bit daft. I could just work with my head of House." Cedric said, though instantly regretting what he had said and hoped Pomfrey would say no.

"Diggory, you're staying. No ifs. No buts" Pomfrey said, and forced Cedric to lie on the bed to Hermione's left.

He lay back into the paper-white sheets of the hospital bed as the nurse fussed over he and Hermione.

She ran spells on him, seeing a slight change in his health and put protection charms on him to stop him getting ill from whatever it was that was in him.

The week seemed to go on for ever. Cedric & Hermione still stuck in the Hospital Wing.

Harry and Ron came to see them in their spare time.

"Nurse, can I go yet?" Cedric asked.

"No. We'll wait till Miss Granger wakes up. IF she does." Pomfrey told him.

He looked over to Hermione. He reached over and took her small hand in his slightly bigger one.
