Chapter 1
My life was perfect. Or so I thought. I was a successful healer working at St. Mungos in the Auror Department. I had a wonderful house and an imperfect boyfriend, Ron Weasley. Not that I wanted Ron to be perfect or wanted a perfect boyfriend. You see Ron was a Quidditch player. He is very famous of course, not that I have a problem. That's where the problem lies. Don't get me wrong, I mean I don't have any problem with him being a Quidditch player or him being famous. I don't have any problem with the fact that he has fans flanking around him. My problem was him, checking out and flirting with each and every chick who comes for his autograph when I am there right in front of him. Maybe he even spends the night with them 'because he never comes to our house that night. I don't even have a problem with that sexy chick. I know I am not that beautiful or elegant or sexy for the matter of fact. But that doesn't mean that he has to be in a relationship with me and check out the other girls.
I have grown a lot since graduating from Hogwarts, physically and mentally. My hair in tamed but are still curly (I know, Hurray! Hermione Granger's hair is tame at last!), have big brown eyes and you know, have grown here and there.
As I said I am a successful healer at St. Mungos and work in Auror Department at the age of 25. Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley married two years ago and I have been dating Ron for a very long time, seems like a 100 years to me. Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are daily visitors to my department. I know, DRACO MALFOY? But you see the same Draco Malfoy who used to bully us and treat us like shit at school has turned quite civilized and well-mannered since the war which was a surprise to everyone. He told the ministry all the details and whereabouts of death eaters voluntarily (He actually broke into Kingsley office and held him as a hostage and told him everything while the Aurors were trying to get Kingsley out safe), which again was a surprise. After the small incident in Kingsley's Office which was well protected at that point of time, Kingsley did not hesitate to offer Malfoy the job of an Auror. And so he became the partner of the-boy-who-lived. They both were reluctant to work with each other and after some time passed they became really good friends. Harry won't admit it but I suspect that he trusts Malfoy more than Ron. These two men keep fighting with bad guys each and every day (except for Saturdays and Sundays of course!) and come to me each and every day with something or the other broken. And as time passed Malfoy and I became good friends too. Not as in friend friend but you know… I think you got the idea. Ginny is very fond of Malfoy and acts as his mother. Did you know Ginny has made a rule that Malfoy has to bring the girl he is dating to the Potter house on their Second date, which is obviously, very funny! Malfoy, Ron and I go to the Potter house every Friday for dinner. Ron and Malfoy don't get along much and that causes many interesting events which ends up in Ron having a tail or a pair of horns on his head and what not! Ron does not make it most of the times and every Friday we have to take turns to make Teddy Lupin go to sleep which he does not because he gets really very excited when sees me or Malfoy. I guess he is attached to Malfoy because he is his cousin uncle, but whatever, he is not very fond of Ron cause he mostly comes to the dinner drunk and… you get the idea. My life is almost perfect. And it would be perfect if it wasn't for Ron Weasley.
Here I am, walking toward room 47, thinking about my life. I opened my door and was greeted by the sight of a very distorted looking face of Draco Malfoy seated on the bed and a body lying limp on another bed which, from where I looked, looked like Harry potter. I walked towards the other bed to confirm my suspicion, walking past Malfoy, giving him a small nod. I didn't wait for him to nod because I knew he won't be able to in his condition. When I reached the other bed, my suspicion became true. It was indeed the great Harry Potter.
"Oh Harry!" I exclaimed when I saw his distorted figure. I think he wanted to say something like 'Hey Hermione, I am quite alright!' or 'Don't you worry 'Moine, I am a strong man', but all he could manage was a moan.
I smiled a bit and got to work. As a few minutes passed and I was still working on Harry, sounds of protest were coming from the first bed.
"I know Malfoy, you are hurt too but Harry is in a lot more pain than you. Just wait for a few minutes." I said without turning back to look at him
I heard a grunt from him but after that he didn't make a single noise. I casted a few more spells on Harry and he was alright but unconscious. I knew he would wake up in less than 5 minutes. I walked towards Malfoy and stood right in front of him and saw him glare at me. I ignored him and casted some spells. After he face was alright he stood up to and went to the washroom which was at the right end of the room. I went and sat on the seat which was placed next to Harry's bed because I knew that he will be waking up in a minute or two.
"That's not true. You healed Harry first because he is a better friend of you than I am, not because he was in more pain." Malfoy was standing near the washroom door.
"Oh stop being so childish Malfoy. You know that's not true." I said looking towards him.
"Stop being jealous Draco. You don't have to jealous just because Hermione is a good friend of mine." said a voice from beside me, emphasizing the word 'mine'.
I looked beside me and saw Harry talking with his eyes closed. A smile played on his lips.
"Good to see you too Harry." Malfoy said in a sarcastic tone but a smirk appeared on his face. We all laughed for a moment.
"So, do I want to know how this all happened?" I asked them when our laughter died down.
"Trust me, you don't 'Mione" Harry said and closed his eyes again. I looked at Malfoy, who just shrugged.
"OK then, see you tomorrow." I said walking towards the door.
"You say that everyday" said Malfoy when I was about to turn the nob of the door and go out.
"Only because it's true." I said without turning back and went out the door not before hearing Harry laugh.
