Harry and Ginny walked the long way (memorized from the Maurder's Map) so they knew noone would bother them. Harry took her hand and held her close, Ginny put her arms around his waist as they walked in silence. "Harry. I have to tell you something. Don't freak..it's about Hermione and Draco." Ginny softly said. "What? Is something wrong?" Harry automaticly asked. He pulled her around to face him. "I saw them, Hermione and Draco, they were really close together, out in the hall, after Draco left with the goons. I called out, and broke them up, and all." Ginny says, nervously, as she watched her boyfriend's face fill with anger. He started to turn to walk away, but Ginny grabbed his arm. "Don't do anything stupid Harry, don't." She says, and takes his hand quietly. Harry looks at her, bitting his lip.

Hermione walked silently down the Hogwarts Halls. She could hear a faint giggling, and as Head Girl, it was her duty to send students to bed. She snuck around the corner, and spied Neville. He was all ruffled, and a blush lay on his cheeks. He was laughing, and then he got a scared look on his face. "Neville?" Hermione said, and his head whipped around to her. He started fixing his clothes. "Hermione! What are you doing here?" he gasped, and looked up. Hermione did the same and saw nothing. There was only darkness. "I'm on patrol! What are you doing?" "Nothing! Nothing, I was doing nothing!" he said, and looked up again. Hermione shook her head, and walked out. "Close one, love." he whispered, and Salem hung down from the rafters upside down. "Too close." she laughed.

Ginny was walking with Harry, who was obviously still angry, starting to regret telling him what she saw. "I shouldn't have told you, I don't want you to be angry with her. She's one of your best friends!" Ginny says, looking up at him. Harry stayed silent, not completly sure what to think. "Ginny, you're sure of what you saw, right? You don't think you could've been mistaken?" Harry asked, facing her again. Ginny sighed, and nodded, as they kept walking.

Hermione was walking, once again, down the halls. She spotted Harry and Ginny up ahead. "Hey guys!" she said, and bounced over.

Ginny turned and waved. Harry didn't move. Ginny tugged at his arm as she approached. "Hi, Hermione, shouldn't you be snogging Draco?" he asked coldly. "HARRY!" Ginny says, and her face grows redder than her hair.

Hermione's jaw dropped, and her fists clenched. "Excuse me?!" She asked, and Neville and Salem who had heard the shout came running. Neville stopped dead when he saw Hermione, and attempted to run away, but Salem held his cloak. "I am not snogging Malfoy! How dare you think that Harry?!"

Ginny's face keeps turning redder. "I don't need to tell you how, Hermione, how dare you even befriend him! Do you not remember all the horrible stuff he's done to us? To you?" Harry shouts, Ginny, who's still holding his hand, pushes him against the wall. "Stop this. This is stupid, Harry. Mind your temper." She mutters so only he could hear, her ears matching the shade of her hair.

Hermione let out a scream, and walked away. Salem followed her, as Neville just stood there clueless.

Ginny sighed and looked at him. Without a word, she followed Hermione and Salem. Harry was left there, still angry. "Hermione! Hermione, please stop!" Ginny called, catching up with her.
Harry watched Ginny go and kicked the wall. "Crap." he muttered. "Crap. D- my temper."

"Ignore him! Hermione calm yourself!" Salem cried, as Hermione was shooting sparks out her wand. Ginny caught up, but Hermione was livid. "Ginny! What did you say to him?" she screamed.

Ginny sighed, "I'm sorry, Hermione. I didn't think he'd freak out like he did. I never meant to hurt you!" Ginny pleaded.
Ron was rounding the corner when this scene was happening, he heard Hermione screaming at Ginny and immeditley went to Ginny's side. "What's going on? Why are you screaming at my sister?" Ron asks, looking from Ginny, to Hermione and to Salem. Ginny was silent.

"Ginny saw Hermione and Draco close, and now theyre fighting." drawled Salem. Her eyes had begun to turn a lovely shade of red. "Ginny, it was nothing! And, you Ron, YOU stay out of this!" yelled Hermione.

"If you're screaming at my sister, I'm involved Hermione! You know me!" Ron said back, bringing Ginny closer. "I'm sorry, Hermione! I didn't mean to start this mess, I really didn't!" Ginny said, she sounded close to tears, "I didn't think Harry would react the way he did!"

Hermione calmed down. She sunk to the floor, and put her hands on her lap. "Ginny. I think I want what might've happened, to happen. I am so scared. I've never felt this way in my life!" she wept, and Salem walked over to her. "Hermione. It's ok." she said, and hugged her. She looked to Ginny, and motioned her over with her eyes.

Ginny wiggled away from her brother and came over, she joined the hug. Ron put a hand on Hermione's shoulder. "It's okay." Ginny said softly.

Salem stood, and walked down the hall. She walked into the Slytherin dorms, and found Draco Malfoy lying on his bed. "Get up! Get up your baffoon!UP!" she roared, dragging him out of bed. He groggily went with her, and she dragged him up to the astronomy tower. The air was crisp and cold, and it woke him up fully. "Salem, what do you want?" he yelled above the roaring wind.

"Come on, lets go to bed." Ginny says softly, helping Hermione up. She, Ron, & Hermione walked up to the Head dorms, and put Hermione to bed. Ginny and Ron slowly walked back to the Gryffindor House. They weren't aware of what Salem and Draco were doing.

Salem turned around, and smacked Draco in the face, "You idiot! You've got her in near tears!" she screamed, and hit him again. "Salem, it's not my fault! I like her, but we could never be! I'm black, she's white. She's sweet, I'm sour!" he cried, and Salem grabbed his collar. "You love her, don't you?" she hissed.

Harry was inside the Common room, back turned to the door when Ron and Ginny came inside, but heard them. He was looking out the window at the Quiddich Pitch, and turned around, sitting on the sill. "Is she okay?" Harry asked, actually concerned. Ginny looked at him, "Yeah, she'll be fine. No thanks to you. Harry, what were you thinking?" She says. Ron goes upstairs. "I was angry, Ginny. Draco hurts everyone, he's hurt everyone in our year." Harry says, hitting his hand off the window sill. "Ever think they have feelings for each other? Ever think Draco may actually like her? We had to pick Hermione up off the ground, she was crying because she likes him, Harry. I shouldn't have told you, I knew you were going to freak out." Ginny says, starting to walk upstairs. "Ginny, how do you think I'm gonna react when my best friend's in love with my worst enemy?" "I thought you'd be happy for her Harry! Isn't that what friendship is about?! Do you remember when my brothers found out we're dating? They were all really angry, right? You're doing the same thing to Hermione that Ron did to us! You, Harry Potter, are a hypocrite!" Ginny says sharply and marches upstairs. Harry plops into the chair and stays there the entire night.

The Next Morning:
"You idiot! You mix the roots after the unicorn hair!" screamed Snape, as he berated Neville for his poor preformance in potion making. Hermione sat next to Salem, holding her down. Her eyes were flaming red in anger, and she would have loved nothing more than to kill Snape. "S-s-sorry, Professor." whispered Neville, as Snape took 20 points from Gryffindor. Just then, a very rough looking Malfoy. Both his eyes were black, and scratches lay on his face all over. "You're late, Mr.Malfoy." said Snape, but noone heard, as they watched Draco Malfoy collapse onto the Potions room floor.

Ron, and Harry jumped when they heard the thud from Malfoy, someone shrieked, and the room went into chaos. Madame Pomphrey was called down and she eventually came and got Malfoy.

Salem watched amused as they brought him up to the infirmary. Little did they know, he was faking it completely. They had conjured the plan last night, he would feign hurt, and Hermione would rush to his side.
She would fall quicker than he had.

Class eventually ended, and the seventh years had a break. Ron and Hermione both went to the hospital wing. Ron went over to Katie, who was only stuck in there for the rest of the day, maybe even just till lunch, and sat by her side, taking her hand.

Hermione sat next to Draco's bed. He was unconsious, and she took her hand in his for a moment. "C'mon you stupid git. Get better. I miss our bickering, and our fighting. Please, get better." she whispered, and then she felt a hand on her shoulder. It was Salem. "Salem, did you do this." Hermione asked, and Salem sat down next to her. "No. He did." she said plainly. Hermione looked to her sharply. "He did what?!" she hissed. "He attempted to fight me. I have dark magic in my blood you see. What ever he tries to do, only hurts himself. That was shortly after he confessed his love for you." Salem said, smirking. Hermione thought she was crazy for smirking, but she looked back to Draco. "Get well, my pompous git." she said, before leaving the Hospital Wing.

"Pomphrey says I can go before Supper tonight." Katie says looking thru the homework that Ron dropped off. "Finally. You know where we sit, come find us, okay? We'll leave a spot open for you." Ron says. "Okay. Ron, what happened last night? I heard screaming, it sounded like Hermione, Salem, & Ginny. " Katie says. Ron looks down, and explains what happened to her.

Salem sat in the chair Hermione had just vacated, and smiled. "Wake up, Prince Git. She's gone." she said. "Dark Magic?! Salem, you are the lighest person I know." said Draco, sitting up in bed with ease. "It was an alibi. Deal with it." Salem retorted. She examined her nails, and then spoke. "She's in love with you, you know." she said. "No she isn't. Not yet, but I am going to show her how much of a gentleman, and loving boyfriend I can be." he said. Salem chuckled, and walked to dinner.

Ron and Katie heard Hermione talking to Draco before, but blew it off, but after they heard Salem talking to Draco....and then Draco talking back, they were extremely confused. Again, they blew it off, and Ron walked off, to let Katie get ready to leave.

Salem sat down next to Neville, running her hands across his back. He blushed, and she chuckled. "What's the matter? Bat got your tounge?" she laughed, and Neville swallowed his food. "Hey, love." he said, kissing her cheek. She smiled, and stared at her plate. Immediatly, raw meat and a silver goblet appeared. The goblet was filled with liquid rubies, every drop a dark crimson. Neville looked wary of it. "It's cow love. I wouldn't drink wand maker in front of you." she burst out laughing at Neville's face, but she calmed down, and explained it was a joke. She whispered in his ear. "Tonight, love. Forbidden forest, I will show you how to fly higher than you can as a wizard." she cooed, and Neville grabbed her knee, blushing. "You ok, Hermione?" Salem suddenly said, looking over to the bushy haired girl, who was pushing her food around her plate.

Ron came in at this moment and sat next to Neville, making sure a seat was saved for Katie. His food appeared in front of him, and he immeditley stuffed his face, not even looking at it to see what it was. Ginny was next to Hermione, and Harry, next to Ginny. Ginny groaned at her brother.

Salem looked around Neville, and started to laugh. "He eats like a cow! Except cows chew their food." she said, and leaned back, slowly cutting her meat and sipping her blood. Neville started talking to Seamus about Herbology when Hermione yelled. "Salem!" "What?! I was only joking!!" Salem laughed, and looked at Neville, a slight blush on her cheeks. "Nothing, love, go back to conversing." she said, and looked at Hermione again. She mouthed 'We've already done it, 'Mione. He isn't as innocent as you think.' Hermione groaned and chuckled. God, she loved dinner times.
