A/N: So... I think I have the whole plot worked out.... Let's see if it works!

Chapter 4

"Someone's hungry" Draco muttered and took a bite out of his Tiramisu. His favorite cake and his only favorite. The rest tasted like... sugar yet this one... this one tasted of coffee and chocolate and sweet, the perfect combination for a member of the Malfoy family.

"Course' I'm hungry, I haven't eaten since the potion incident... no wait! I haven't eaten anything since 2 days ago!" Harry exclaimed and finished his second piece of chicken.

"Sitting here, watching you eat as if you haven't seen food in your life is disturbing"

"Then don't watch" Harry huffed out and ate his bread which was the last thing on his plate. Sometimes, he wished Draco wasn't such a snob and just forget his 'oh so mighty pure blood family habits'. It annoyed him, and that meant that they weren't making any progress to getting to know each other, which was what Harry wanted.

"Yea whatever you say..." Draco said and rolled his eyes, finishing his coffee-like cake. "So... about that... Friendly get together or whatever you called it"

"What about it?"

"What about if I show you a place that I really like?" He said and nibbled on his bread. His eyes began to avert downwards until they reached his plate which was on his lap.

"It's not the forbidden forest right? Because if it is, then I'm not going. I don't want to find another Voldemort sucking out the blood of a unicorn"

"Wait that was Voldemort from our first year?"

Harry brought his hand to his face to reenact the "oh so mighty" face palm.
What kind of idiot am I talking to?

"I'm guessing that was a yes.... Right?"

Oh yea, a Malfoy.

~~~

"Hermione... can we go see Harry yet..? Pleeeease?" Ron whined.

"No, it's only been a day that he has been in the infirmary after that nasty prank that Draco pulled on him. He needs rest... If you want, I'll let you punch Draco today... just once! We do not want to get suspended on our very last year"

She tilted her chin up in annoyance as Pansy and Blaise walked right around the corner. Blaise looked over at the pair and ignored them as he kept chatting with Pansy. Though, Pansy had other plans.

"Don't you think someone should keep Harry away from Draco? They hate each other and if they ever get in a heated argument, one is bound to get expelled" Pansy huffed out rather loudly.

"Pansy, lower your voice" Blaise warned and flashed an apologetic look towards Ron and Hermione. He hoped that they got the message and that they knew he held absolutely nothing towards them after the war.
Ron and Hermione got his message completely yet Pansy was not making matters easier.

"Why should I lower my voice? His friends should take better care of him. Rumor has it that Harry is in the infirmary and in really bad conditions. Serves him right for being such a stuck up celebrity"

"Harry is not stuck up! Draco is the one that needs to pipe down and accept defeat after all these years of hate!" Ron growled and stood in Pansy's way, Hermione right beside him.

"Draco has already won. Have you not seen the condition Harry is in? Ha! I bet he hates you two for not even visiting him at least once. Goes to show that you two only care about the fame and actually don't like him"

Ron and Hermione looked at each other, instantly worried about the condition that Pansy had talked about.

"How do you know about Harry's condition?" Hermione asked "As far as I know, no one is allowed to visit him until later today"

The look on Pansy's face changed for a brief moment before she looked over at Blaise and resumed her conversation with him.

Ron and Hermione had been completely ignored...

"Who does she think she is?!" Exclaimed Hermione. "Some type of ignorant little son of a bi—"

"Hermione... keep this whole thing PG-13... Please?"

~~~

After chatting for about an hour, Pansy and Blaise walked off in opposite directions, in hopes of finding something entertaining for their days off.

"Oh what to do... What-to-do..." Pansy remarked and walked towards the infirmary, only to see Draco walking out and towards the Slytherin common room.

"Like hell I'm going to let this get together fail or I have dishonored the Malfoy name" Draco muttered to himself and kept on walking. His face showed a tinge of happiness as he passed by the corridor where Pansy had hidden behind a plant. I would have to say that this is the best hideout indeed.

Finally, Draco turned a corner and was out of sight. A pleased Pansy walked out of her hideout and had time to think over what she had heard Draco talk to himself about.

"A get together huh...? I wonder who he is meeting..."

~~~

He didn't notice Pansy earlier as he was walking out of the infirmary. Much less when he heard a laugh coming from the hallway that he had just come from. He was oblivious to the world around him and that only lasted a few moments before he was stopped in his tracks to find Ron and Hermione having a rather interesting argument.

"You're the one who asked me out first and now you wish to break up?! What has gotten into you Ron? I leave to the library for a few minutes then I come out to find you on the floor in pain! Then you just stand up and start talking rubbish!"

"If I'm acting weird then why don't you just leave? I already told you that I do not wish to get close to you or Harry anymore. I am done!" Ron yelled and began to walk away. Hermione was not going to let him go so easily.

"At least tell me why you wish to break up with me! It doesn't make sense to not even give me your reasons after you were on the floor in pain!"

Ron turned around, anger written all over his face. Seeing Ron made the room seem darker and harder to breathe in. No one had ever seen Ron so angry. Not even when he had the fight with Harry over what seemed to be nothing nowadays.

Gathering his breath, he walked closer to Hermione, forcing her to take a step back against the wall.

"You know exactly why you cheater! How could you do this to me! With my own friend... or what used to be my friend. I don't know anything anymore!"

Hermione looked at Ron and knew that he wasn't joking. Confusion arose in her mind at the sudden thought of Ron being so sure that she had cheated on him with Harry. It was preposterous in her opinion, to be so serious about something that never happened. Especially after being in pain a few moments ago.

"You are talking rubbish Ron. I've never even looked at Harry in that way."

"Then explain to me why I was told by... by..." He took a step back and began to think. "I can't remember their name but they told me that you went to see Harry and that you two were snogging so much that Madame Pomfrey had to kick you out!"

"This is absurd Ronald Weasley! I never visited Harry in the first place! Visitors are not yet permitted until another hour!"

"That's what you say. But now that you have your so called reason, I am going to go. Don't bother talking to me ever again..."

Hermione looked at Ron's back as he began to walk away from her. Once he was out of sight, she fell to the floor and cried for a long time. Good thing Draco was there but he had never seen such a situation.

"Well... I suppose that settles it" He murmured and picked Hermoine up with nothing to warn her about the sudden contact.

"Let me down Malfoy!" She yelled and began to flop around in his arms.

"Shut up"

~~~

Harry had just come back from the Gryffindor common room, freshly out of the bath. A good shower was what he needed and he got it

"After hearing that bloody hell coming from who knows where, a good shower feels great" He exclaimed to no one in particular.

"Let me down Malfoy!"

"Shut up... I'm taking you to that Potter friend of yours so that you can talk about your feelings and other things that you muggles know how to do. " He retorted in a fake disgust that could have fooled anyone. In all honesty, he had never talked to another person about his feelings so taking her to Harry was his best choice at the moment. Though he was starting to regret ever touching her, especially picking her up bridal style.

"This is complete bollocks!" Exclaimed Hermione as she lashed out her final attempt at breaking free before she noticed Harry looking at her, his towel still over his head.

"Granger needs your assistance... I'm not one for the job here so I shall just sit on my temporary bed"

Draco walked over to Harry's bed and dropped her onto it before he sat down in his own bed and sighed.

Hermione looked up at Harry and sniffled a tiny bit, remembering her fight with Ron.

"Harry..." She mumbled and hugged him tightly, catching him off guard.

"Blimey... Hermione- ha, that rhymes"

"Shut up Harry..."

"Yea sorry, but tell me, what happened?"

And Hermione explained everything that happened. From entering the library, to Ron being in pain, to the whole fight, even including the breakup and the reason. She trusted him and knew that he would have an explanation to the whole mess. If not, then at least be there for her as moral support.

This was all that Hermione had left and she did not want to lose it like she did with her family and Ron.
