Hermoine Granger was sitting in the hospital wing of Hogwarts between the love of her life Ron Weasley and their best friend Harry potter. Both of whom had been out for the past five days. She was trying to concentrate on the book in front of her which she hopped would be the solution to the Dark mark that Snape and Draco still sported on their arms.

Draco Malfoy was sitting on the other side of Harry reading a book "Quidditch Through The Ages" a revised edition that Hermoine had gotten for Harry for his birthday. Neville was on the other side of Draco with Luna Lovegood at his side visiting.

She had brought them all a copy of the "Quibbler" which bore the headline "Death-Eaters Leave Hogsmeade in Shambles" was tame compared to the headlines in the "Daily Prophet", Some of which proclaimed Harry dead and the wizarding world lost already.

Ron finally stirred and moaned, opening his eyes for a brief second and closing them again against the glare of the sun coming through the windows and tried to get up. "Hermoine a-are you ok?" Ron croaked trying to get up.

"I'm here Ron, I'm ok just relax you need to stay where you are" Hermoine said and although she tried to sound stern like Mrs. Weasley, there were tears in her eyes as she pushed him back into the bed.

"H-how's Harry, Draco and Neville?" Ron said relaxing back onto the bed, too weak to fight her.

"Neville and Draco are ok Ron. Harry's still unconscious but Madam Pomfrey said he would recover. We were so worried about the both of you," She said finally in a half sobbing voice and buried her face onto his shoulder.

"How long have I been out?" Ron whispered into her bushy brown hair.

"Five days Ronald Weasley and if you scare me like that again I'll hex you" Hermoine said.

"Ron face it," Said a groggy voice behind her "Your getting stuck with a nag" Harry tried to chuckle and ended up in a coughing fit.

"Don't think your getting off that easy either Harry Potter" Hermoine rounded on him. "Wait till Ginny gets out of class and gets back up here. I'd like to see you call HER a nag"

"I'm suddenly feeling unconscious again" Harry muttered and closed his eyes.

Hermoine turned back to Ron "Ron I'm sorry, Harry's right your out for five days and all I can think to do is argue with you. What you must think of me," Hermoine said quietly.

"Like always Hermoine" He said quietly "I love you for who you are" He paused "Nag and all" he said smiling and kissed her before she could yell at him.

Over on the other bed Harry was smiling. He liked happy endings. "So Draco what happened, If I wait for them to stop snogging it will take six months" Harry said wearily.

"Not much Potter. Just before that last explosion some of the order members aparated behind us and a couple of Death-eaters caught us off guard and hit the ground in front of us with a couple of explosive spells. You, Weasley and Longbottom took most of the blast." Draco drawled "Next time Potter arrange it so I don't have to be alone with Granger when she is disgustingly emotional over Weasley please" Draco said looking disgusted.

"Oh shut it Draco" Hermoine said. "I'll have you three know that Draco risked his life for you three"

"Yes and unfortunately I lived to hear her tell about it" Draco set the book he was reading on Harry's nightstand "Well I better get down and help with some of the rebuilding going on. It will let me get out of this castle and out in the sunshine for a change" he said and walked out of the hospital wing.

"What did Draco do?" Harry looked confused.

"They still wont tell me Harry" Neville said. "Hermoine said she would tell us when you two woke up. I was out for four days Luna told me, and Draco was just being discharged when I woke up"
