++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Draco had been waiting nearly a half hour for Hermione and was getting worried. Until he heard her calling him. She walked over to him giggling and wrapped her arms around his waist, putting her head on his chest. He looked at Madam Pomfrey questioningly. “She has a real sensitivity to pain relievers Mr. Malfoy. I put a muscle relaxing cream on her back which, while potent, does not usually make patients loopy! I’m giving you instructions for a muscle relaxant potion should she need it at night, but it will most likely make her loopy as well.”
“Thank you, Madam Pomfrey, for helping her out.”
The older witch nodded and placed a hand on his shoulder. “You did well with her today Mr. Malfoy. If you had not found her, I don’t know how bad she would be. I know of your past, but after all it is the past and cannot be changed. Keep on your current path and you will find the happiness. Besides, there’s nothing more powerful than love after all is said and done.”
Draco had no words, but nodded. She patted his shoulder and he pulled Hermione out of his arms and to his side, putting her arm in his again. “Come on Hermione”
“Okay Draco” she said in a small voice, almost childlike.
They made their way slowly to the Head’s rooms where Draco conjured a chair for her to sit in- this one she could straddle with her chest against what would have been the back. He called Dobby and had some soup brought up for her. While they waited, he pulled off her robe again, placing it on the couch for Dobby to collect. When food came, Hermione surprisingly ate a full bowl of soup and some crackers. Draco was happy she was finally eating, but still gave her the nourishment potion as prescribed by Madam Pomfrey. They wanted her to heal as much as she could, and that couldn’t happen if her body was so frail.
After dinner, Draco got Hermione tucked into bed, where she seemed to fall asleep instantly. He headed back to his own room, but couldn’t sleep. He was too worried thinking about Hermione. Not only her injury and helping her get better, actually that was the easy part. The hard part was figuring out how he felt. Like you don’t know how you feel… Okay he knew how he felt, but after their history and the history of his family, it was hard to shut off the voice that was battling him. The one that kept trying to remind him that she was dirty, a mudblood.
But he knew he didn’t believe that anymore. He had actually come to care about the little Gryffindor. He put his head in his hands and cussed. “What the hell am I going to do?”
In the other room, the head girl had woken from a bad dream. Out of habit, she tried to roll on her back, only to groan in pain. Damnit! She didn’t want to bother Draco just because she couldn’t roll over. She did however have to use to loo. Bloody Hell! She turned her body on the mattress to get her feet on the ground. It was hard and she was sweating by time she stood up, but she made it. Slowly she walked to the bath. Not too bad, she thought. But she could feel her energy waning. She got to her own door, and held onto the doorjamb to keep upright. Her back was spasming again. She was breathing heavy trying not to yell in pain, but once again it hit her shoulder and she couldn’t help it. She yelled out as her legs gave under her. “Curse that Astoria Greengrass… she will regret this. I may be alone and depressed, but you do not attack me and get away with it.” She was mumbling to herself when she heard Draco say her name.
Draco had heard Hermione walking around and figured what she was doing. He didn’t want to impose on her personal space. But when he heard her yell, he dove out of bed and ran to her. He found her mumbling to herself, while gripping her doorjamb with white knuckles. “Hermione?” Her head snapped up. “Come on, love, let’s get you back to bed. Your back spasm again?” she nodded. “Alright, I have some potion for you. Can I leave you here for a moment? The potion is in the bathroom.” She nodded again. Not very talkative tonight, is she. He ran to the bathroom, grabbed a small glass and poured the prescribed amount of potion in. He ran back out and Hermione was in the same spot. “Alright, I know it’s nasty, but you’ll be sleeping soon. Bottoms up!” Hermione downed the potion in one gulp and grimaced. Within a minute, her head was slumping forward. Draco was lucky he was on the floor and able to catch her. He picked her up with one arm across her shoulders and another behind her knees.
“Helloooo Dracooo” she sung
“You really are a light weight aren’t you?”
“Uh- huh” she nodded her head sloppily
He walked her over to bed and got her to lay on her stomach again. Her eyes were closing. “Hermione, look at me,” her eyes fluttered open. “I’ll be on the couch now. If you need me, and I don’t care for what, you call to me, okay?”
“Yes, Healer Draco.” She sniggered
He couldn’t help but chuckle at her. “Okay, go to sleep now” and he left, leaving her door open.
Draco lay on the couch and quickly used accio to get a pillow and blanket from his room. He fell into a deep sleep, knowing that the muscle relaxant he had given her would knock her out for at least 6 hours.

Sarah_Bear: Wow. I have no words but ‘thank you’! You have made my day with what you posted. I am so amazed that you got an account just to review my story. Wow. You are amazing and thank you so much for the review. Draco is nice… he still has negative thoughts but fights them away. I try and update every other day. I had about 16 chapters written before I began posting here so I could update often.
MadamDragon: Yeah I’ve never really liked ron (can you tell? Lol) Thanks for the continued support and reviews. Keep reading and you will find out ;)
Goldhorse: I would also love me a Dr. Draco lol. It only gets better from here. As far as naysayers, I know it’s my story, but felt the need to defend my stance. I am passionate about everything I do and this writing is no different. Thanks so much for your support, it means more than I can say. You’re the reason I began writing to begin with! Lol
Starwarsfan2012: don’t worry, I definitely plan on finishing this story up. Its one of the reasons I wanted to get so much done before I began posting. I also hate finding stories that are incomplete- especially when I’ve read through them before I’ve realized that fact! Thanks!
