"Uh, Hermione?" Ron lay his head on Hermione's shoulder.

"Hmm?"

"Do you know if Harry and Ginny are still together?"

Hermione looked at Ron. He lifted his head, and met her gaze. "Why?"

"They don't act like it anymore." Ron stood up and looked at the lake. They were sitting under a large willow tree facing the lake. Ron still couldn't believe that it was their seventh year. The last year that Hermione, Harry, and himself would be at Hogwarts.

"I'm not sure.... Ron, is something bugging you?" She looked at him with a worried expression.

"Nothing... I just--" Ron was cut off by a loud <i>thud</i>. The back of his head was in pain, and made Ron's ears ring.

"Ron!" Hermione's voice echoed in his head.

"Hermione! What's going on?" He wanted to say. The cold ground soon met his warm cheek.

<hr>

"Ron!" Hermione screamed. Malfoy threw a rock at the back of Ron's head.

"That's what you get, Weasley, for talking about my family!" Malfoy and his goons quickly ran away.

"Malfoy, you bitch!" Hermione called after him, then ran to Ron. There was a large bump on his head.

"Hermione, what happened?" Seamus ran over after hearing her yell at Malfoy.

"Help me bring Ron to the Hospital wing!" She grabbed one of Ron's arm, then put it around her shoulders. Seamus did the same.

They walked off to the Hopital wing, with people wondering what happened.

"Merlin, what has happened?" Madame Pomphrey asked as Hermione and Seamus layed Ron on a bed.

"Malfoy, that's what."

"I did nothing." Malfoy walked in, holding his wrist. He looked as though he was in pain.

"Can I get some ice?" Malfoy smiled, and looked at Hermione.

"Nice outfit, Granger." Hermione was wearing a skirt that went ther her knees, and a very low cut shirt. Malfoy licked his lips.

"Oh, bugger off," Hermione said angerly. Seamus noticed her outfit too.

"Uh." He looked like a school boy with his first crush.

"You two really need to grow up." Hermione left the Hospital wing, and felt a presence.

"Hermione." Malfoy walked up to her. He got really close behind her, and grabbed her waist. He kissed her neck.

"Malfoy, get off of me." She didn't fight him though. For some reason, Hermione didn't stop him.
