Hermione and Draco shared a long look at one another. The color had completely vanished from Draco's face and Hermione felt quite flushed herself.
"So you know I will testify for you right?" Hermione said, still cautious as she was looking into the eyes of someone who had physically (And Mentally) almost murdered her
"I don't think that will matter Hermione, there is a good chance that every doctor and nurse who has seen you will testify against me"
"Draco... I don't want you to die" Hermione's lip quivered and she felt tears rushing to her eyes, her swollen eye stinging as the water began to swell.
"I don't want to die either Hermione" Draco paused and looked away. Hermione heard him sniffle as if he were choked up. "But, pet, I don't know if I want to be alive anymore"
Hermione shot up in her bed, wincing at the pain that the medicine couldn't quite take away completely. "Draco" She said trying to raise her voice "We did all the work, we put in all that effort. We faced a god damn monster... all for you to live! How could you say you don't want to be alive?"
A sharp knock interrupted the moment between the two and the Doctor swiftly bursted in, grabbing Draco by the arm and looked Hermione dead in the eyes "Times up" and he dragged Draco out of the room, Draco not even looking at Hermione as he was forced away from her.
When the doctor returned to the room he came with a new face. A slender woman, no older than 20 joined him.
"Hello Hermione" The doctor said "This is Doctor Crystals, she is a witch and a psychologist. She will determine your mental ability to testify for Draco in court.
"Hello Hermione" Dr. Crystals echoed "I will be here to help..". She turned to the doctor and motioned for him to leave the room.
Dr. Crystals sat in the chair adjacent to Hermione and opened her notebook, she wrote some notes then looked up and smiled warmly at Hermione.
"Hermione, what were you to do if you had a wish?" she said nonchalantly
Hermione shook her head in confusion, of all that had happened to her in the past 24 hours, this seemed like the hardest to comprehend. This young girl in a doctor's uniform had come into her room and asked her what she would do if she could make a wish.
"Miss Granger, I would like you to answer the question"
"I'm not sure I know how to answer that question Ma'am" Hermione said making sure not to take her eyes off of the doctor
The doctor shrugged "What if I told you that I could take you back to the very day before you met Draco Malfoy... What would you do..."
Hermione raked her brain for the contents of the day before their encounter at Honeydukes. She was taught her students then went to see a film with Ron. The day was fairly boring compared to what had happened in the past month but it seemed like a pleasant memory.
"I don't know" Hermione said "I would still technically be with Ron... but Ron's so boring"
The doctor just nodded
"I guess if I could go back to that day... I wouldn't change anything, I wouldn't change going to Honeydukes, I wouldn't change meeting Draco.. I might try to speed up the amortencia potion process knowing what I know now-
Doctor Crystals cut her off "So you wouldn't really do anything differently?"
Hermione took a breath and continued to look at the doctor. She narrowed her eyes and spoke with as much confidence as she could muster "No, I wouldn't do anything different. I love Draco".
The room seemed to go completely silent and a purple wash of anger spread across the doctor's face. "Wrong answer" she said quietly and stomped out of the room.
5 minutes later the original doctor came back into the room.
"How was your visit with Dr. Crystals?" He asked
"It was odd..."
"Well that can't be good" The doctor replied to her.
"I want to see Draco again... I want to finish our conversation"
"I see" The doctor paused "Well once you sign the release forms you are technically free to do as you like"
"Can you tell me where Draco is?"
The Doctor examened his watch then looked at Hermione "Well I can't be sure but you are about to go into a deep sleep... deeper than you ever slept before"
"Wait what why"
"I believe Draco just made a wish"
Shortly after the doctor replied to her, Hermione's vision began to swim and she fell backwards, but she didn't feel herself hitting the bed.

Draco's House: Two weeks earlier
Hermione woke to the sun in her face and serious case of Deja Vu. She had no idea where she was but at the same time she kind of did. The events of the night before flooded to her memory and she had drank that damned failed amortencia potion and Draco had taken her to his place. A part of her mind screamed at her to flee, but another part, the overwhelming part, was incredibly calm. She didn't even care that she was in her underwear and couldn't find her green dress. She just calmly got up and walked through the maze that was Draco's house down to the kitchen where she found him making breakfast.
"Hi" She said prompting the blond wizard to turn and see her
Draco looked shocked to see her so calm but rushed to her and tried to examen her face and body for wounds. Hermione quickly pushed him off of her. "Draco what the fuck?" she demanded
"Hermione... you're okay..."
"Yes, I tend to be, why ask?"
"No... No reason, would you like some breakfast"
"Sure but can I ask you something?"
"Yeah"
"Have I ever spent the night here before? I feel like I have because your maze of a house wasn't so confusing to me but I felt this feeling like it should have been and have you noticed i'm in my underwear yet don't really care about it?"
"Hermione" Draco's voice cracked like he was panicking
"Hermione don't worry about it... Also we are going to finish the potion at my house, and I want you to stay very very far away from my office do you understand me?"
Hermione just stared at him wide eyed "Draco are you okay?"
"Yes Hermione, just you have to promise me you won't come near that office, and in exactly 13 days I have booked you a spa day, and I want you to be at that spa all day do you hear me?"
"Excuse me, Draco no offense but you're scaring me... You don't even like me"
Draco cleared his throat "Ahem... Sorry had a weird dream. But we have work to do. Come on get dressed. You can borrow some of Astoria's old clothes that she wore when she thought she was fat. They should fit you nicely"
"I'm going to try not to take that as an insult" Hermione said still eyeing him
"No no, dont worry Astoria was skin and bones, just she was more so than before when she left me and left her old clothes... Now hurry along we need to start. Remember my life's on the line here."
Hermione turned to walk up the stairs
"Don't you need to know where my room is?" Draco asked
Hermione shrugged "I know this sounds strange but I think that I already know"
"Well then. Might I suggest the black dress. It would look great on you"
Hermione nodded then headed up the stairs. Draco sighed and leaned against the cabinet. He reached in his pocket and pulled out the note he found laying on his pillow when he woke up.
Remember Draco, all wishes have a price
