Hey guys I don't own the rights to Harry Potter
I got this idea when I was sitting in bed with my new stethoscope. I'm training to be an AIN (assistant in nursing) at the moment, it's my first step to becoming a paramedic
I sat on the uncomfortable, lumpy lounge in the staff break room of St Mungo's Emergency ward. Alone, I put the ear pieces of my stethoscope into my ears and placed the diaphragm to my chest. I took a deep breath and listened…
Thump thump. Thump thump. Thump thump.
I sat minutes on end with my eyes closed listening to the steady, strong beats of my heart. Still there. It had been a year since the war had ended. The light won of course, but some of the light grew to have a bit of an ego. This being Harry and Ron, flaunting all over the world of how they defeated the Dark Lord. I being a third of the trio that helped had a little fame for a few months, but when Harry and Ron asked if I wanted to join them on tour I refused as there was so much to fix from the after math of the war. I thought they'd at least put it off, but the fame had gone to their heads. Leaving me behind with no one, it wasn't called the Golden trio anymore, now it was the golden duo.
I moved on from the past and found my passion, in medicine. Paramedics to be exact. Due to my medical skills during the war, I only had to go to Wizarding University for 6 months along with a few others with the same capability.
Thump thump. Thump thump. I listened on. Thump thum-
The sound of my beating heart was cut short when the ear pieces were pulled out of my ears.
"Hey." The blonde haired man crouching in front of me said.
"Hey Draco." I whispered. Yes Draco Malfoy and I can be nice to each other. Believe me it took work, but when we were forced together as partners in the ambulance service we began to get along. Draco was now my best friend and I wished every day that things were different in school. That people weren't threatened to be prejudice and everyone was equal. I notice you do that when something bad happens…why?"
"I-I… Some things remind me of the war and using my stethoscope sorta helps me deal with everything. Tells me I'm still alive I guess. Sorry I never told you. Worst girlfriend in the world huh? Can't even tell my boyfriend everything." I finished with a tear rolling down my cheek. That's right, Draco and I had been dating for the last 3 months. The best months of my life.
"No you're not. Just had a lot happen and we've only been together for the last 3 months and actually get to know each other in the last 9 months. You'll get through this, the war was almost a year ago. Not many people are over it, even me so don't worry about it." Draco said then kissed both of the tops of my hands which he was now holding. "I know we haven't said this to each other yet Hermione and I completely understand if you don't reply but…I love you."
As he said those three words I felt like my life that had been shattered into many pieces, that had started to mend itself little by little for the last 8 months finally mend itself completely. After a pregnant pause I finally replied.
"I love you too…" As the last syllable lips Draco's mouth came crashing down on them in a soft but passionate kiss. We conveyed all our feeling to each other through that one kiss and all we could hear was a synchronised…
Thump Thump. Thump Thump. Thump Thump…
