Once again Hermione, Harry, and Draco found themselves in the Hospital Wing. But this time it wasn't Hermione who was the patient.

Draco Malfoy lay on the bed out cold. Harry was there as well in the corner of the room being lectured by McGonagal.

Hermione walked off to Draco's bedside. She couldn't take her eyes off of his face. His expression was so peaceful.

She ran his hand against his cheek and was shocked when his hand came flying up and grabbed hers.

After Hermione's initial shock was over she smiled and asked, "How are you feeling?"

Draco shrugged, "Alright." he said not wanting to admit that Harry's blows had hurt him quite badly. he tried to sit up but winced as a boly of pain went through him.

Hermione helped him lie back down and sat down next to him. She grasped his hand and smiled. Draco looked at her and suddenly he was lost in her deep brown eyes.

Hermione caught his gaze and she couldn't pull away. Suddenly their faces started to inch forward.

Ginny watched Hermione walk off towards Draco with little interest. All she really cared about was the boy who was standing a few feet away from her.

She watched as Proffesor McGonagal finished with a red face. Harry walked over to Ginny.

She laughed at his terrified expression, "So, how'd it go?"

"She said that because I have so many things to do during the day my detentions will be nightly. I'll be cleaning down desks in empty classrooms." he said with a groan.

Ginny let out a low whistle, "How long are you in for?"

Harry groaned louder, "A month. I'm going to kill Malfoy! Where is that git anyways?"

He said looking around but Ginny blocked his view of the bed. "Oh-um- he already left. Yea-er-he went off about five minutes ago."

"Was Hermione with him?!"

"Well-"

"Oh I'M GONNA KILL HIM!" Harry said said grabbing a hold of Ginny's arm and storming out of the room. Ginny with a gleeful expression on her face did nothing to stop him.

sorry it was short. I promise longer next time!
