Hermione was tired of the hospital wing but she knew better than to ask if she could leave yet. In only took her asking five times before she finally learned her lesson on not asking to leave. She knew that Poppy would release her when she thought it was okay for Hermione to go. She laid back on the bed and stared up at the ceiling as she thought about everything that had happened yesterday.

She smiled slightly as she thought about the fact that Severus did indeed come to see her during lunch and then during supper and stayed with her until she fell asleep last night after he sent Blaise and Harry on their way. She couldn't believe how well she was getting along with Severus but then again she knew that he no longer had to pretend to hate anyone and everyone that came from Gryffindor. She had just decided to try to sleep a little more when she heard a commotion out in the main part of the infirmary. She stood up slowly because her body was still achy in some places.

She couldn't hold back a wince as she heard someone swearing because to her it sounded like they were yelling. She walked slowly over to the door that opened out into the main part of the infirmary from her private room and opened it. Her eyes widened slightly when she saw both Harry and Blaise holding none other than Draco Malfoy up. She shook her head to clear it and then walked over to them as quickly as she could. "What's going on Blaise and Harry?"

Harry looked up with wide eyes and hissed "'Mione get back to your room for now. Blaise and I will come in and see you as soon as we get Malfoy to a bed."

Hermione scowled and said "Let me help you get him to a bed. It looks like you two are having a hard time keeping him up."

Draco looked up in shock when he heard Hermione's voice and as he took in her appearance he gasped and whispered "You're a Veela."

Hermione rolled her eyes and said "Way to state the obvious Malfoy. Now let's get you to a bed so that I can go back and lay back down because I'm still in a little bit of pain."

Draco shook his head and tried to clear it but he couldn't take his eyes off of Hermione. He saw her swallow hard and smirked. "What's the matter Granger are you afraid?"

Hermione shook her head and said "Now why would I be afraid of you Malfoy? After all you try anything not only will Blaise and Harry have your arse but so will Professor Snape."

Draco chuckled and hissed just as Severus walked into the infirmary "Why would Professor Snape have my arse Granger? After all he is my Godfather and he doesn't like you."

Severus took the remaining steps it took to get to the small group and picked Draco up by the collar of his robe and growled "Don't you ever threaten my daughter again Malfoy because regardless if you are my Godson or not I will make it to where you will not live to see another day. Now get your ass into a bed and stay there. Poppy is on her way now."

Draco paled and he stuttered "Your daug…daughter? What are you talking about Sir?"

Severus smirked and said "Exactly what I said Draco. Now get to a bed and stay there while I see my daughter back to her room. And if I were you I would watch how loud you talk because she isn't used to the exceptional hearing yet and I will not have her in any more pain than she already is in. Do I make myself clear?"

Draco nodded and once Severus put him back on the floor on his own two feet he made his way to nearest bed. He watched as Severus scooped Hermione up into his arms and shook his head in amazement at the big change in his Godfather. He was drawn to Hermione like he had never been drawn to any other girl before and he knew it was because she was a Veela but he also felt that it was something else that was pulling him towards her. Little did he know that once his change was complete that everything he knew was going to change and change big.

Hermione smiled softly at Severus as he put her down on the bed gently. "I could have walked you know?"

Severus smirked and said "You looked like you were in pain. You do know that you need to be careful around boys and men that are not myself, Harry, Blaise, and Albus right? You are an unmarked Veela, Hermione and you will be attracting boys and men alike to you so you need to watch what is going on around you. I just got you Hermione and I don't want to lose you because a little boy couldn't control himself. Will you please be careful?"

Hermione sighed and nodded. "I'm sorry Severus, I didn't think about that. I promise that from now on I will be careful and I'll make sure that Harry or Blaise are with me when I'm up and about. I didn't mean to worry you."

Severus' face softened and he said "I know that you didn't mean to. Now I need to go out and check on Draco. Will you please stay in here and stay safe?"

Hermione frowned but nodded and then asked "What is wrong with Malfoy?"

Severus sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Today is his birthday and he like you has Veela blood in him and he's experiencing the change now. Both Narcissa and Lucius will be by later on sometime today to check on him more than likely. I would like to tell Narcissa and Lucius about you if that is okay with you.

Hermione nodded and said "That is fine but I hope that you don't expect me to be all buddy, buddy with them because I can tell you that I won't be."

Severus nodded. "I can understand that and I don't blame you for that. You have every right to be leery of them and if you weren't then I would probably be more concerned. But if you can please try to remember that they are not who you always thought they were it may help."

Hermione nodded and closed her eyes. "You may want to get out to Malfoy because he's cursing up a storm."

Severus nodded and bent down and kissed Hermione on the head and then went back out to the main part of the infirmary and over to where Draco was on the bed. He shot both Harry and Blaise a look and pointed to the room Hermione was in. "You two go in and keep her company. Poppy will be releasing her in the next couple of hours and you both will need to be by her side because it will be in time for supper."

Both Harry and Blaise nodded and then left just as Draco asked "Is Mother and Father coming Uncle?"

Severus nodded. "They will be by here in a while Draco. For now I want you to try to relax."

Draco gave a sarcastic laugh and sneered "Yeah because it's so easy to relax when my body feels as if it is on fire. So Uncle how long have you known that Granger is your daughter?"

Severus shook his head and said "I found out yesterday when I brought her a pain relief potion. You will not let anyone know she is my daughter Draco unless I tell you that it is okay. I do know that she plans on letting people know because once they look at her they will be able to tell if they look long enough. I also want you to start treating her with respect because if you don't I will make your life hell. I love you Draco, never doubt that but I will not allow you to treat my daughter like you have for the last seven years. She never deserved being treated the way she was and she sure as hell doesn't deserve it now."

Draco nodded and closed his eyes as he breathed in deeply. "You do realize that you are going to be fighting off all of the boys in this school don't you Uncle? I hate to say this but Granger is hot and the Veela is pouring off of her."

Severus sighed. "I know but Harry and Blaise will be by her side constantly."

Draco frowned and asked "How can they stand to be around her without trying to attack her or anything?"

Severus smirked and said "Both Harry and Blaise are bonded by blood to Hermione. They are her blood brother's and she is their blood sister."

Draco's mouth dropped open but then he snapped it close and bit down to keep from screaming out in pain as fire raced through his body. The last thing he heard was Severus swearing and saying his name and then feeling something being poured down his throat before everything went dark for him.
