A/N: This is ig mostly a filler chapter- idk-

Draco's P.O.V:

After we brought Hermione to the Hospital Wing Madame Pomfrey took a look at us, gave us some healing potion and told us all to leave. It was too crowded there. Luckily no one was killed or too severely injured, Madame Pomfrey thought that someone had put everyone under a very powerful protection spell. Blaise had a guess as to who, so did I, so did Weaslette.

People were still coming out an hour and a half later. Now here we are waiting outside. Potter, the 2 Weasleys, Pansy and Daphne are all sitting down facing each other while Blaise and I are pacing.

Weaslette got us some food earlier from the great hall, but that was a half hour ago. We're not even allowed to wait for Hermione inside. I don't know if she'll make it out alive. I don't know what's going to happen to her.

After a while Astoria and Theo walk out. Even though Astoria is a year younger than us we've always been close except this year Theo and her started dating so they've been spending a lot of time together. Theo had his arm around her. When they see us Astoria looks surprised. She looks around and when she sees Daphne she goes and sits next to her. Theo walks up to me. I stop pacing but Blaise doesn't. I start fidgeting with my hands.

"What's going on? What are you guys doing here?" Theo asks, looking confused and glancing at Blaise. I sigh before replying.

"We're waiting for Hermione to wake up." I answer, still fidgeting, I need to keep moving somehow, I feel too much panicky energy and it has nowhere to go.

"Hermione? Since when is it Hermione and not Granger? And why do you both care all of a sudden?" Theo asks, looking between me and Blaise. I could practically feel Blaise's anger rising.

"Nothing, none of your business, just go sit or leave, Theo." I snap. He frowns at me but goes and sits next to Astoria who has her arm around a sad looking Daphne. Daphne. Oh god- The poor girl, I can only imagine what this looks like for her. For Blaise to be suddenly so worried for Hermione.

Another realisation hits me, well not a realisation as much since I already knew this, but it's not Hermione, it's Marina. I continue pacing. Nothing helps, I try to think about something else, nope doesn't help, every thought I have leads back to Marina. I can't not think about her. I- I love her. I freeze and Blaise bumps into me.

"What the hell dude!" He snaps. I glare at him. I run a hand through my hair, god I could not have worse timing to realise this. I lean against a wall and collapse on the ground, far from the rest of our friends and Potter and the Weasleys. Blaise frowns at me. "What's wrong now?" He asks and I shake my head, I look up and close my eyes.

Just the thought of Marina dead is killing me. I have no idea what happened to her out there and Blaise doesn't either. What if she used up all of her energy. What if she never woke up again. I sigh and drop my head into my hands.

After a while Madame Pomfrey comes out, we can see that the room is almost empty behind her, just a few more people. "Well, Ms. Granger is stable now." She says with a small smile and I can feel my whole body relax. "You can visit her-" Before she finishes what she has to say Blaise and I push past her and find her. We both sit down on either side of her.

I take her hand in mine. She's not awake but she's alive. I suddenly have the urge to empty my stomach. I take a deep breath to calm down. Everything's fine, she's alive, my friends are alive, she's alive!

The rest of our odd group walks up, Potter and Weasle seem like they're about to say something when Weaslette stops them. I look up at Blaise and see him staring at Marina, as if willing her to wake up, or maybe trying to get in her head again?

"What's going on? Why are you suddenly so interested in Granger?" Astoria snaps, I look up and realise she's talking to Blaise. I glance at Daphne, she looks miserable. Blaise seems to realise this as well. He swears under his breath. He glances at Marina and gets up. He turns to Daphne.

"We need to talk..." He tells her, his voice is strained, he's tired and he just wants to stay with his sister, I can tell by the way he glances back. Daphne glances at Marina and looks back at Blaise, she nods slowly. They walk out of the room. Weaslette takes Blaise's spot and takes Mia's hand into hers.

"Madame Pomfrey said that she's only unconscious because she used too much of her energy, she's just exhausted." Weaslette tells me, she glances up ever so slightly and I nod in thanks. I didn't realise how worried I was about her still not being awake until I felt the stress leave.

After a while Blaise and Daphne walk back in. I go to move knowing Blaise would want to sit next to her but Weaslette beats me to it. Blaise mutters a thanks and she nods and he sits. Everyone around us except for Daphne stares at Weaslette confused. Daphne looks at Marina with a new type of understanding. I look at Blaise, his eyes are bloodshot, he was crying. I sigh, I hope she wakes up soon.

~~~~~~

I didn't realise I fell asleep until I felt Marina's hand twitch in my hands. I shoot up into a sitting position. The first thing I notice are the new chairs around the bed with mine and Mia's friends. I look at Marina when I hear her groan. I shake Blaise awake and he's about to snap at me when Marina mumbles something in her sleep. His eyes go to her in shock.

Slowly everyone wakes up and we all surround her. She shakes her head a bit and slowly starts waking up. We all move to give her space and as soon as she's in a sitting position Blaise tackles her in a hug. "God! I was so worried!" he says to her and she smiles softly. He finally lets go, I see Pansy and Astoria glare at him but Daphne has a small smile on her face.

Wealette, Potter and Weasel surprise her in a hug as soon as Blaise is gone and she gasps in shock. As soon as they pull away her gaze finds mine. Before I can stop myself I grab her face and pull her lips to mine, I ignore the gasps around me as she cups my face.

I pull away slowly, I caress her cheek and place my forehead on hers. "I love you..." I whisper, her eyes widen and she stares at me for so long it feels like forever.

"I love you too..." She whispers, I pull her lips to mine again. I finally pull away when I hear Wealette speak up.

"Hand over the goods, Zabini." Weaslette says, holding her hand out to Blaise looking smug. Blaise hands her a small bag of coins. Mia and I raise an eyebrow at them as the rest of our friends stare in shock. Weaslette turns to us. "Blaise thought you two would say 'I love you' after we left school, I said you'd say it during school." She explains. I roll my eyes but smile. I'm so glad everything turned out fine.

After all of our friends come out of shock, Marina and I explain that we've been dating, then she and Blaise finally tell everyone about them being siblings. Everyone was shocked but luckily no one was mad about our relationship or her Blaise being siblings.

Madame Pomfrey came over, she said she was going to do a few more tests on Marina and then she could leave. After that all of us headed to the great hall since Mia was hungry. We all sat together on a table. Professor McGonagall had removed the house tables and there were smaller tables everywhere so we could sit with friends from other houses.

A/N: Woah- I think this is like my longest chapter! Anways- I know it seems like it's ending cause the battle is finished and they're all nice and friendly and Hermione's ok but it's not finished- There will still be a few more chapters but I think this is more then half way through the book! So enjoy the rest of it! Bye Feathers!!
