Child Prodigy Meets Hero of the World
Chapter 4
The Next Day- Saturday
"Hermione!" shouted a voice behind Hermione who was walking to the library.
"Harry?" questioned Hermione, recognizing Harry's face when he finally caught up to her.
"Wow! You walk fast!" commented Harry whose face was red from blushing and running.
"Thanks! You wanted to speak to me?" asked Hermione.
"Yes! Well, Professor Zabini told me to ask you for help. I've been having troubles and I need to pass with above average grades his class in order to be an Auror." explained Harry still slightly out of breath.
"Professor Zabini? Which one?" asked Hermione giggling when Harry realized his mistake?
"Oh! Sorry! I meant your brother." stuttered Harry. He was very nervous being so close to the girl he had a huge crush on and asking her for help with schoolwork.
"She probably thought he was dumb and say no to have to try to tutor the stupidest and laziest boy in Year 7." thought Harry.
"Harry, both of them are my brothers." replied Hermione who was once again laughing but not in a mean way. "Let's try this. What subject does he teach?"
"Potions." said Harry. He blushed harder than before. What an idiot he was! His brain didn't ever seem to work properly in front of her.
"Ok! See that wasn't too hard! I'm pretty sure that you can call them Blaise or Blake as to not confuse yourself. They won't mind I'm sure. If they do, I'll talk to them. Sure I'll help you! When do you want to start?" asked Hermione politely.
"Hmm Today's ok with me since I don't have Quidditch practice but I don't mind any other day if you're too busy." replied Harry.
"Sure! Today's fine! Let's go!" announced Hermione, pulling him into the Hogwarts library.
The room had scattered tables and many bookshelves lined perfectly to each other. A comforting scent of old books and knowledge surrounded the vast room.
She had been here before, over the summer Dumbledore had taken her and her brothers on a tour of Hogwarts as to not get lost (it didn't help Hermione that much), and already had her favorite table.
It was placed between the Transfiguration and Potions sections, facing the Lake which was just beautiful at sunset. The clear water seemed to turn a magical purplish gold shade reflecting the beautiful sky.
"Ok! Sit down! So… what might we began on? How about today's lesson?" asked Hermione.
"Sure. Umm what was it about?' asked Harry embarrassed. He had fallen asleep which was part of the reason Blaise had told him to ask Hermione for help. Apparently Hermione had often tutored both of her twin brothers' students with a method designed just for them, making the most boring subject fun.
Hermione giggled and replied, "It was on the Caelum Potion. Hmm Do you remember what it does?"
"Sorry, Ron was bugging me at the moment." responded Harry in an embarrass tone.
"Oh! Well, Caelum means Heaven. Now think, what a potion with the name "Heaven Potion" might do?" asked Hermione wanting him to think for himself.
"Heaven? Maybe something to do with feeling blissful?" answered Harry.
"Yay! You're right Harry! See that wasn't that hard, was it?" said Hermione, smiling. Harry laughed, her happiness was so catching!
"Hermione!" shouted a voice behind them. It was Professor Blaise!
"Shhh!" shushed Madam Pince.
"Sorry!" whispered Blaise loudly. He turned his attention back to Hermione and Harry, breathing deeply. "Hermione! He's back."
"What? Blaise, breath!" commanded Hermione. Her voice was strict yet gentle; it was perfect for a Healer. Blaise seemed to calm down, his breathing better and more normal.
"Now, whose back?" asked Hermione, patiently.
"Hermione, remember to keep calm, ok?" questioned Blaise. Hermione nodded. Then one word came out of his mouth. "Max."
Hermione didn't scream or freak out, Harry noticed. She just looked frozen like a block of ice, fear clouded her bright eyes.
"What? No…..it can't be!" murmured Hermione in an airily tone as if she was far, far away.
Tears formed at the corner of her eyes, her legs wobbling a bit. Then Hermione just collapsed. Lucky for her, Harry's seeker instincts caught her before she landed on the hard floor. He had noticed she appeared weak and vulnerable unlike her usually hyper and cheerful self.
"Professor? What should I do?" asked Harry with Hermione in his arms bridal style.
Blaise shook out of his state of surprise of when Hermione fainted.
"Take her to Madam Pomfrey." ordered Blaise. "Speak none of them to anyone, Mr. Potter."
"Yes, Professor." agreed Harry. He paused for a second before asking "Professor, might I ask who Max is?"
Blaise looked a bit stunned for reasons unknown to Harry with a bit of anger and only replied with "It's not any matter to you. Now go!" every word coming out louder.
With that Blaise stormed out. Harry stared at Hermione who looked so delicate in his arms. He started running towards the Infirmary which was close to the Library.
"POTTER! What did you do!" shouted Draco as they pasted him. He stood in front of Harry, blocking their way.
"Malfoy! Move! I have to get Hermione to the Infirmary!" yelled Harry, trying desperately to get past Draco.
"No! Not until you tell me what happened!" said Draco. He had out his hands. "Give her to me!"
"What? No!" bellowed Harry.
Hermione shifted in his arms and blinks twice.
"Huh? What's going on? Harry? Draco?" muttered Hermione, her head pounded as if a giant had jumped up and down on it. "Please stop shouting. It hurts!"
"Hermione!" exclaimed both Harry and Draco at the same time. They glared at each other and turned their attention back to her.
"Huh? Please stop talking so loud!" complained Hermione who was struggling desperately to get out of Harry's arms.
Draco walked over and lifted her, setting her feet on the ground.
"Thanks, Draco. Ouch, my head hurts so much. Now will someone answer my question? What happened?" asked Hermione, massaging her head.
"You fainted, Hermione, after Professor Blaise told you, um, Max was back." answered Harry.
"Oh." was all that spilled out of Hermione's rosy red lips. She looked frighten again but this time it was weaker. Draco was biting his lips and walked slowly to capture Hermione in a surprising warm embrace.
Harry looked uncomfortable and gradually edged his way out of this touching scene.
"Don't worry, Hermione. I'll protect you." promised Draco lovingly.
"You're the best, Drake!" complimented Hermione.
"Should we go the Infirmary or just go back to your room to rest?" asked Draco.
"Not the Infirmary! Draco, I am a Healer. I can take care of myself." announced Hermione.
As they walked back to the rooms Hermione shared with her brothers, Hermione and Draco bumped into someone.
"Sorry!" said Hermione, looking up. Her eyes widen and she asked, "What are you doing here?"
