The Veelas 02

"HARRY!" Ron burst into the room with Hermione and Ginny right behind him.

"'Lo Ron," Harry said dully.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? WHAT THE HELL DID THAT BASTARD MALFOY DO TO YOU?"

"Hello Weasley," Draco said. Ron turned around.

"Malfoy, what are you doing here?" Madam Pomfrey came out before Draco could answer.

"Weasley! Shoo, these two need their rest. Go and eat lunch. You can see them later." Ron opened his mouth to say something, but Harry said quickly,

"Go guys. I'm fine." He put on a fake smile. Ron closed his mouth.

"Yeah, we should probably go now," Ginny said. "Come on Ron." She dragged Ron out of the room.

"Feel better Harry!" Hermione said and then she too left. Draco stared at Harry.

"What?"

"Your friend is such an idiot, that's all."

"I don't see any friends of yours at all." Draco rolled his eyes.

"Potter, they are not scared of me dieing at any moment, unlike yours. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon."

"You may hope that Malfoy."

*************************************

Ron was still fuming on the way to History of Magic.

"Can you believe him? He just..." Hermione wasn't listening to Ron babbling. She was thinking about Draco. He just sat there in the Hospital Wing, his smile. Did he even smile? I have never seen him smile. Still, he was quite good looking. Hermione shook her head. She only thought he was good looking because he was a veela. He was a veela, wasn't he? Hermione hoped so because if he wasn't that meant that she.... Hermione stopped herself. It was stupid to even think that. Stupid. That's what it was. Stupid. But, if it was so stupid, Hermione asked herself, than how come she can't stop thinking about him?

****************************************

Draco and Harry just sat there, glaring at each other. Professor McGonagall had come in. She was quite angry with the two of them. Eventually, after yelling, she had left them to "bond" with each other. The two had not moved once since she had left. It was like they were playing a game where no one was supposed to move, but they weren't.

"Are we done 'bonding' yet Malfoy?"

"Potter I was done bonding with you a long time ago," Draco said.

"Fine, we will tell McGonagall that we had a nice time bonding and that we will never fight again."

"But Potter!" Draco said in mock astonishment. "That would be lieing!"

"Malfoy you better-" Harry stopped. The door had opened. Emily walked in.

"Hello," she said cheerfully.

"Hi."

"Are you two all right?" Emily asked. Harry turned red.

"We are fine. Thanks for you concern," Draco said politely.

"You are so sweet," Emily said, batting her eyelashes. Draco smirked at Harry. Harry rolled his eyes. Veelas always got everything.

**************************************

Hermione sat in the library. She could not sleep. She kept thinking about him. Him, she gulped, was her worst nightmare and also her greatest relief. She laid her head on the table. She thought of him again. His blonde hair, grey eyes, and everything about him was just perfect. Why did Hermione think this? Many girls thought whenever she talked about a guy she liked, it was Ron or Harry, but they were wrong. Sure everyone pictured themselves with their best friends, thinking it would work, but Hermione knew better.

"Why can't I stop thinking about him?" Hermione breathed. She lifted her head from the table. She gathered her stuff and left. She had to go to the hospital wing.

*************************************

Hermione had taken Harry's invisibility cloak. She opened the door of the hospital wing. Nothing or no one moved. Hermione crept in. She opened the curtains around his bed walked by him His eyes were closed and he was sleeping peacefully. She touched his hand softly. Draco woke up immediately.

"Whose there?" he asked softly. He looked around. Hermione stepped back even though he could not see her. She wanted so badly right now to scream "ME! ME IT'S ME!", but she did not. Draco leaned back a little, but his eyes were still open. Eventually he went back to sleep. Hermione walked over to him after a while and kissed him on the cheek. Draco did not wake, and Hermione was glad. Maybe in the morning he would wake up, and he would know....
