Draco arrived to the wing to see a grim McGonagall, a flustered Madam Pomfrey, and an arrogant Head Girl. The latter sat on a bed with her arms tight against her chest. He knew a lost battle when he saw one… unfortunately neither the Headmistress nor the nurse did.
“Really Hermione!” came McGonagall’s stern voice.
“Miss Granger, I really do insist on my checking you out completely”
“No.” she said, pulling her arms tighter to her chest and shocking the other two women. “I was thrown against a wall- check my back that’s all I need checked. I am of age and have the right to refuse any treatment.”
Draco cleared his voice to announce his presence. “Madam Pomfrey, I was able to look at Miss Grangers back momentarily in the Head’s common room. I believe she may have a concussion and a fractured shoulder.” Both women gasped at this news. “I don’t mean to be rude, but maybe we could fix the worse before searching for something that is probably not even there?”
“Fine alright.” The nurse replied, looking shocked at his reply, noting there was no longer a condescending tone to accompany his voice. She immediately turned back to the Head Girl. “But you young lady better not be coming to me with a broken wrist.” At that everyone relaxed. The Head Girl wincing as she did so.
“Miss Granger, you need to put on a school hospital gown please.” Madam Pomfrey said as the Headmistress walked out. She then turned to get some potions, Hermione turned to Draco “Thank you” she mouthed and smiled slightly. Draco nodded his head at her.
He turned around and sat with his back facing Hermione. He heard her hiss and curse under her breath, then begin to breathe heavier. He chanced a glance over his shoulder to see a pale, swaying Hermione holding onto the bed. She was still dressed, but shaking. “Hermione…?” he asked. She looked up and he watched as her face paled. He just made it to her side as she began to collapse. “Madame Pomfrey!”
The nurse came bustling out and gasped. Then her mumbling began. Draco heard snippets of “stubborn teenagers” and “think they know everything”. Finally she looked at Draco who was carefully holding her unconscious form in a standing position. He was bent at the waist, arms wrapped around her hips with her torso leaning over his shoulder. “Well. I’m afraid I’m going to need you to hold her while I heal her back. I don’t see any way of adjusting her position without causing further damage.”
“I can hold her.” He replied. There was no doubt in his mind that he would.
After about an hour of a silent Madam Pomfrey bustling behind Hermione he heard her speak. “Alright, she’s as healed as she can be.” He felt the Head Girl stiffen and straighten in his arms. “I’ve petrified her so that I won’t undo the healing I’ve done.” Madam Pomfrey said “Okay, Mr. Malfoy, you can release her now”. Slowly, Draco released his hold on Hermione. As soon as he completely let go, the older witch levitated Hermione onto the bed, face down. She undid petrify and turned Hermione’s head. He gulped as he saw the expanse of her bared back. Madam Pomfrey had to cut through her tank top and the damage could be seen. Her back was covered in one large bruise, her damaged shoulder black.
“Will she be okay? She’s been unconscious for a while now.”
“She’ll come to in a bit, don’t you worry.” She turned around and grabbed a vial, handing it to Draco, “take this to relax your muscles. Staying in such a position for an hour will wreak havoc on you.” He nodded and gratefully accepted the potion, drinking it in one gulp.
Both turned to hear moans coming from the bed. Draco ran to her side and touched her face lightly. Her eyes were still closed. “Madam Pomfrey? She’s still sleeping. Can we do anything?” She handed him a vial.
“This is a pain potion laced with dreamless sleep. We can’t sit her up, so this will be tricky. I will redo the petrificus spell and levitate her. I will need to wake her before you administer the potion. The effects would be beyond horrible if we give her dreamless sleep while unconscious instead of sleeping. You will need to pour the potion in her mouth.” He nodded in understanding and agreement. Hermione moaned again in pain. He looked down to see tears coming for her closed eyes.
Madame Pomfrey did as promised. Hermione was petrified and floating above her bed. He heard the nurse murmur ‘Enervate’ and a second later Hermione was moaning with tears freely flowing. She looked scared and in pain. Draco got close enough so she could see him “Madam Pomfrey healed you, but you can’t be moved too much or it will undo what she’s fixed. We needed to wake you before giving you a pain potion. Do you want it?” he asked her, knowing the answer already by the creases by her eyes. She blinked once slowly, allowing the relief to show in her eyes. Held her chin and opened her mouth, pouring in the potion. The potion began taking effect just as he closed her mouth. Even under the Petrificus, he could see that her body relaxed.
Madam Pomfrey returned Hermione to her original position, checked her over once more, and then left them alone. Draco sat in the chair next to her bed and began to feel the effects of his own potion. He passed out soon after with his head on her bed, sun still shining through the windows.
When Draco next woke it was to moonlight shining through. He tried to remember what had woken him when he heard a raging voice.
“What the hell are you doing? Get away from her!” yelled an angry Ron Weasley. Draco was still groggy and his reflexes muted, so he didn’t even see the fist coming at him. Before he knew it, he was flying backwards. He felt his head hit the tiled floor before blackness took over.
