Draco's P.O.V
We were about to play Quidditch when the match was cancelled. Everyone moaned and I wondered why it was, probably someone else got petrified. I would find out soon as gossip always spread quickly in Hogwarts but I felt strange, a part of me thought it was Hermione. I'll just check later.

I walked up the stairs to the hospital wing in the middle of the night, I needed to be careful so a teacher didn't catch me. I got to the Hospital wing and tiptoed in,
"What are you doing here?" Madame Pomfrey whisper-shouted.
I jumped a bit in surprise and replied,
"I-I wanted to know who got petrified."
"Oh, well I guess I understand. Come on, she's right here."
'She' I felt more that it was Hermione. My heart sank when I saw a frozen Hermione on the hospital bed with her hand raised, the other scrunched up.
"I'll let you stay with her for a bit, I don't see the point you can't talk to her and weren't you the one being rude to her?" Madame Pomfrey said.
"Yeah it was me, but- it was because of my fa- I mean um I feel bad." I stuttered back.
"Alright then." She replied.
I sat there and stared at her emotionless eyes, they were empty, they didn't have a spark of happiness there anymore. I held her hand and a tear fell onto her cold frozen face. Stop crying, you're not a wimp. I kissed her on the head. I didn't care that father would see all this.
"All right time's up, unless you want me to let slip to Professor Dumbledore you where wondering around after hours." Madame Pomfrey said sharply.
"Okay, do me a favour- ma'am- and don't tell anyone I visited her, please." I asked nervously.
"The other kids won't be your friend if they find out you like her?" She asked.
"Yeah." I said my voice trailing off.
"I understand, I'll keep quiet." She said smiling for what seemed like the first time.
"Thank you ma'am." I replied and walked back to the Slytherin common room.

"Where were you?" Pansy asked sitting in the common room.
"Nowhere." I replied.
"You must of been somewhere." She said annoyingly.
"Just mind your own business for once!" I snapped.
"Calm down Mr Anger Issues." She said smirking.
I rolled my eyes at her and went to bed.
