Chapter 5

Chapter 5

When Hermione awoke she was surprised to find herself in the Hospital Wing. She turned on to her side, which hurt slightly and saw Harry with his head heavily bandaged. His eyes were open but he was just staring into space.

Hermione opened her mouth to say something to him but he turned his head toward her and shook his head as if she was telling her to be quiet and not say anything just yet. Hermione looked in the direction that Harry was now looking in and saw Professor Dumbledore talking in a low voice to Madam Pomfrey.

“Have you found the young Mr. Malfoy yet?” Madam Pomfrey asked in a hushed voice.

“Yes, he was very easy to find seein Mis Miss Granger had stunned him. He was still lying in the Astronomy Tower. We awoke him and began questioning him. He didn’t seem to remember doing anything to Harry as much as he wanted to though. So, I expect that he was once again put under the Imperius Curse by his father who escaped from Azkaban two days ago,” Dumbledore said in a grave voice.

Madam Pomfrey looked over at Hermione’s bed. When she saw that she was awake she ushered Professor Dumbledore out and went over to her store cupboard to concoct Hermione’s remedy.

Hermione once again looked over at Harry who smiled and mouthed, “Thanks,” Hermione felt a pang of guilt as she remembered what she had done with Ron only hours before.

“Your welcome Harry,” she said, “But what were you doing in the Astronomy Tower?”

“I was scrubbing all the eye pieces on the telescopes for my detention. I heard the floorboard’s creak and as soon as I turned around Malfoy had grabbed me by the throat and started banging my head into the ground. I was struggling with him about five minutes before you came in and got him off of me,” Harry finished looking lovingly at his girlfriend.

“Oh, I see,” Hermione, said.

Harry smiled at her and said, “Don’t worry about it I’m fine. I just have a nasty bump on my head. I’ll be out of here in no time.”

As soon as he said that Ron came bursting into the Hospital Wing much to Madam Pomfrey’s disapproval. He ran towards Hermione’s bed and leaned in to her and kissed her on the lips and said, “Are you okay,” he began checking her over until she cleared her throat and nodded towards Harry who had a look of outrage on his face.

“What was that all about,” he said trying his best to keep his calm.

“Sorry mate,” Ron said bashfully,” I was just really worried and I sort of forgot that we weren’t going out anymore.”

Harry seemed to except this story because his features softened slightly and he said, “She’s fine,” he said it a little more harshly then he had intended but Ron had just kissed his girlfriend on the mouth.

Ron sat down on the edge of Harry’s bed and asked him what happened. Harry told him what he had just told Hermione. Ron gave him a quizzical look and then said, “But if you had detention then why did you come up inhe dhe dormitory looking for Hermione?”

“You were looking for me?” Hermione asked trying to seem as if she wasn’t with Ron when Harry came up and looked for her.

Harry blushed a little but then he shook it off and said, “I dunno.”

Something about the way Harry had said that made Hermione uneasy. She felt as if Harry was lying to her and Ron. Hermione looked into his eyes to try and see if he was hiding anything. He quickly lookedy fry from her and she immediately knew that something was up.

The answer to her question came storming into the Hospital Wing with Cho Chang. “Oh Harry!” she exclaimed, “I left to get to help but when I got back there with Professor McGonagall you were gone,” then she confirmed Hermione’s fears as she bent down and kissed Harry on the mouth as Ron had kissed her, except Harry made the mistake of opening his mouth for her to deepen it.

Tears sprung into Hermione’s eyes. She curled up to the top of her bed. She started muttering something that Ron couldn’t hear. By the time Harry had pushed Cho off of him Hermione was in hysterics. Harry got up and winced slightly and walked over to her. He reached down to pat her but she looked at him with hate in her eyes and pushed him away.

“How could you?” she asked in a barely perceptible voice, “You… and her. You know what. I don’t care. Remember when you went into the dormitory and you asked Ron if he was busy?” Harry’s eyes widened, “Well, he was busy. With me.” Harry’s face reddened in anger and he turned around and looked at Ron who had an equally red face but it wasn’t red because of anger.

Hermione got out of her bed shakily and walked over to Ron and pulled him into her for a long kiss. She wrapped her leg around his waist to pull him closer. He kissed her back long and hard. She pulled away and took Ron by the hand.

“So long Harry,” she spat and they left him there with his mouth open and his glasses askew.

THE END
