Content: PG-13
Description: Ron and Ginny are jealous of Harry and Hermione's sudden affection for each other, because Ron likes Hermione and Ginny likes Harry. They come up with a plan that makes Hermione miserable. Guess who comforts her?!
Genre: Romance/Horror
Disclaimer: I own nothing and I never said I did, so don’t try to sue me, and even if you do, I haven’t got any money anyway.
A/N: Once again this is a response to a challenge in the H/Hr Forum; this one was the idea of HermioneFanatic84.
A/N2: OK, I’d like to dedicate this to a few very good friends of mine. I know it’s a bit late, and I’m supposed to have dedicated it to them at the beginning, but I didn’t know most of them then! So, I’d like to dedicate it to:
Ali AKA Witch of the Web (My writing partner, who has come back to writing! Yey!)
Anto AKA MyOb (Who is a darling and I loff him dearly!)
Kris AKA Harryhermione4eva (Without her, I would never have gotten up off my lazy arse and updated so thanks Kris!)
HB AKA Obsessedharryfan (Who is just a plain nutter! :p)
Alex AKA (Who keeps telling me to STOP PUTTING MYSELF DOWN. Even though I’m convinced I should.)
OK, on with the badly written story! I’m so sorry for putting you all through this. You don’t have to read it if you don’t want to. :D
Anyway, enough of my ‘putting myself down’ mood.
And on with the final instalment of the story.
--------------------------------------------------------------
“Viktor STOP!” Hermione screamed as she launched herself to Krum trying to get his wand out of his hand.
Ginny was standing in the corner crying, Ron was screaming at Krum, as he couldn’t find his wand to defend Harry.
Fred and George burst into the common room from the stairs to their dormitory, wand raised.
“EXPELLIARAMUS!” (A/N sp?) The spell had no effect on Krum; he stood still his wand pointed at Harry who was starting to loose consciousness from the pain running through him. “PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!” George shouted, nothing.
Hermione was still screaming at Krum.
“STOP!!! STOP, HE’S NOT TAKING ME OFF YOU! YOU NEVER HAD ME IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!” She was so angry with Krum for doing this; she wanted to rip his head off. “HOW ON EARTH AM I SUPPOSED TO LIKE YOU WHEN YOU’RE TRYING TO KILL MY BEST FRIEND!!!”
From the corner of her eye she saw Harry go limp.
“NOOOO!!!” She crashed to the floor kneeling next to Harry, “No, Harry, please wake up, Harry?” She checked his pulse; it was there, but barely. Krum still had his wand pointed at Harry, although he had lifted the curse.
“Avada-”
At this word Hermione knew what he was going to do, she went to throw herself at Krum to knock him off his feet, but Ron had got there first, Krum’s wand lay next to the fire as Ron landed on top of him punching and kicking Krum in all of the places he could reach.
“You. Bastard. You. Will. Never. Do. That. Again. That. I. Promise. You. Never. Come. Near. Me. Harry. Hermione. Or. Any. Of. The. People. I. Know. Again. ‘Cause. I. Swear. To. God. I’ll. Kill. You. Got. It?” Ron said in between punching Krum hard around the face.
Fred and George eventually decided that Ron had had enough fun, pulled him off and jumped on Krum themselves, followed by the entire Gryffindor population, who happened to be in the common room at the time.
Hermione rushed to Harry’s side again and placed his head in her lap. A small trickle of blood had escaped his mouth and was running down his cheek.
“Harry?” She whispered, tears streaming down her face. “Harry? Please wake up, please don’t be dead, I need you, I love you.” Ron had heard this and he was far from being jealous. He was happy she’d admitted it to Harry and he wanted Harry to wake up and tell her he loved her too.
He knelt next to Harry “Harry, mate, come on, wake up. You have to, you can’t let that prat win now, come on I don’t wanna have to put up with ‘Mione crying her eyes up over her lost love now do I? Come on.” Harry lay motionless.
“Come on Harry, please, I love you, please, I can’t loose you.” Hermione whispered holding tightly onto Harry’s hand.
Harry didn’t move.
Hermione checked his pulse. It was getting fainter.
“No, No Harry fight it, fight it, you can do it, don’t die please.” She said more urgently.
He didn’t move.
Hermione did the only thing she could think of, she bent down and kissed his lips.
Movement.
“Yes! Harry, come on, come back to us mate, come on.” Ron said fighting the tears that threatened to spill out of his eyes.
Harry eyes fluttered open, to Hermione crying hard and Ron trying not to.
“Oh Harry! Oh god, Thank you! Thank you!” Hermione cried she pulled Harry into a huge hug, which despite being almost dead, he returned.
“’Moine, let the poor guy breathe!” Ron said.
She let Harry go reluctantly, but still had a tight grip on his hand.
There was a commotion from the other side of the common room as the Gryffindors got off Krum, who was barely recognisable.
“What happened to him?” Harry asked quietly.
“Oh, after you passed out he tried to do the killing curse, but we got to him first. I punched him a few hundred times before Fred and George decided it was there turn, so the entire common room jumped on him.” Ron said as though he was talking about the weather.
“Oh.” Was all Harry could say before the portrait hole opened and Professors Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape, and, Moody, closely followed by Madame Pomfrey and surprisingly Draco Malfoy entered. Malfoy looked at Krum and went straight over, everyone thought that he was going to help him, but Malfoy gave Krum a few swift kicks and said “Listen up Krum, you leave Potter, Granger, Weasley, and the rest of the Gryffindors alone or you’ll have me to deal with. Got it?”
Most of the Gryffindors noticed that he was no longer wearing a ‘POTTER STINKS’ badge.
Dumbledore conjured a stretcher for Harry and Madame Pomfrey guided him down to the hospital, Hermione still had her hand clasped in Harry’s and walked by is side.
Krum was kicked out of the common room by a few of the Gryffindors before Snape led him off to wait in Dumbledore’s office.

All of the Gryffindors in the Fourth year were in the Hospital two days later, surrounding Harry’s bed as well as Fred, George, Lee Jordan, The entire Gryffindor Quidditch team and Ginny, and Colin Creevey.
Hermione was the closest to Harry, and had her hand tightly clamped in Harry’s, a position that didn’t go unnoticed by anyone.
They sat around laughing and joking until Madame Pomfrey came in and ushered them all out. Harry wouldn’t let Hermione go. They hadn’t got any time alone and Harry wanted to tell her something.
“Oh but I’ve got to tell her something really important!” He said giving her his puppy dog eyes.
“Oh fine, but not for long. You’ve got 5 minutes.” She snapped before she left them to it, smiling.
“I see that works with everyone then.” Hermione said smiling at Harry.
“Pretty much.” He answered
“So what do you want to tell me?”
“I uh… heard what you said, when Krum knocked me out.” He said blushing slightly.
“Oh, uh… yeah sorry about that I know you don’t feel the same way it’s just-”
“What? How can you think I don’t feel the same way? I thought I was obvious.”
“You mean you do?” she asked surprised
“Yeah!”
“No, you weren’t obvious. I had no idea.”
“Really? You had no idea?” Harry said disbelievingly
“Not a clue.”
“Well now you do.”
“Yeah.”
“So uh… do you want to be my girlfriend?” he asked nervously
“Uh let me think about that, YES!”
“Really, you’re sure?”
Hermione smiled, leaned into Harry and kissed him.
“Yes, I’m sure.”
“Good.”
Madame Pomfrey watched them from her office. “I knew it, I knew it, McGonagall owes me five Sickles!” She whispered before going to bustle Hermione out of the hospital.
“Come on out.”
“Bye.” Harry said smiling at Hermione
“See you tomorrow.”
He nodded. Hermione leant down and kissed him again.
“I could definitely get used to that.”
“Yeah, well you’re going to have to Potter.” She answered smiling again.
“So you two have finally got it together then? Good you both deserve to be happy.” Someone said warmly from the doorway. They both turned and were shocked to see Malfoy standing in the Doorframe smiling at them.
“Malfoy?” Harry said.
“That’s right Potter. Look I can’t stay I just wanted to come and tell you how sorry I am for how I’ve treated you in the past. I know I’ve been a huge pain in the ass and I’m truly sorry. I’ve found out you were right, my Father is a Death Eater and well I’ve sort of told him I hate him and I’m going to fight for good, against Voldemort, if he comes back that is. I’ve turned my Father into the Ministry and he’s in Azkaban as we speak”
Harry and Hermione were speechless.
“Yeah, that was about the reaction I got from the Slytherins when I had a go at them for planning to fight you Gryffindors. I’m kinda of an outcast there now. Oh well, that’s what I get for being an ass my entire life! Well I just wanted to tell you. Bye”
He turned and left.
“Well that was different” Hermione said,
“You can say that again.”

Harry was let out of the hospital a week later; he was in the Common room with Hermione sitting on his lap, when Ron came in hand-in-hand with Lavender followed by Ginny with non other than Draco Malfoy, who’s hair was no longer slicked back, but all over his head looking messy like Harry’s. And he looked better for it.
“Harry! You’re out of hospital! Great!” He said when he saw Harry.
“Awwww, look at that! You two look so sweet together.” Ginny said
“Yeah, come on lets go on a walk” Lavender said. Hermione stood up and held out her hand. Harry took it and left the common room together.
In the entrance hall the couples came face-to-face with Crabbe and Goyle.
“Oh look Potter’s out of hospital. And he’s with the Mudblood!”
“Don’t call her that.” Harry spat.
“Shut it.” Ron said
Malfoy took more decisive action; he drew out his wand and said “Sepensortia.” A large snake slithered out of his wand.
“Tell it what to do Harry.”
He smiled and said, “Get them.” In parseltounge.
The snake immediately lunged at Crabbe and Goyle, who ran away back to the Slytherin common room.
“Well done Malfoy.” Ron said
“Oh, I didn’t do anything, it was all Harry!” He said smiling.
The group left the castle and headed off for the first of many long walks around the lake.
~END~
