Pairing; Hermione Jean Granger/ Blaise Zabini

Disclaimer; Me? Own Harry Potter? HAHAHAHAHAHA Cool story, bro. It all belongs to J.K. Rowling and her genuine mind.

Hermione opened her eyes, for a start. She looked around, lazily. She was in the Hospital wing, several sun rays intruding the room and a very worried Madame Pomfrey talking to... Iris Ciel?!

'' It has been a week, Madame Pomfrey. Doesn't she show any signs of getting better?'' Iris asked. She was wearing a black cloak which hid all of her, beside her head.

'' None, Iris. She hasn't even moved a muscle. The potions and spells show that she is still alive, but there is no other signal. We are planing on sending her to St. Mungo, but knowing the situation... Draco Malfoy said the Death Eaters weren't attacking the school, but trying to take her away.'' Madama Pomfrey sat on a chair. Iris started to walk around the room.

'' St. Mungo isn't an option, right now. If what Mr. Malfoy says is true... we cannot afford Hermione leaving the school grounds. Unless she's with me. I hope she gets better by the Christmas Holidays.'' Iris said. Hermione slowly closed her eyes. feeling them too heavy to be open. '' Can I wake up Mr. Zabini? He's been close to her when it happened, as for what I understood.''

'' Yes, yes. But I don't know if he will want to leave her side. He hasn't moved from her side the whole week. He continuously mumbles something about failing her and that it was his fault. I hope you can get something from him.'' Madame Pomfrey walked to Blaise and shook him slightly. His eyes flew open and his arms went around Hermione protectively.

'' Stay away.'' He hissed, but then relaxed as he saw it was Madame Pomfrey.

'' Mr. Zabini, Miss Iris Ciel is here to talk to you.'' Blaise stared around the room, wide eyed. He got up and walked to Iris. She turned her head to the outside of the Hospital Wing.

Blaise scratched the back of his head. He didn't know what to expext from Iris' visit. Bad or Good luck.

'' Good morning, Mr Zabini. We finally meet for real.'' Blaise nodded and Iris smiled a bit. '' How is Hermione?''

'' The same as yesterday. No obvious change.'' Blaise said and Iris nodded. '' Miss Ciel, am I in troible?''

'' What do you mean Blaise?'' Iris asked, leaning against a wall. '' It has been a while since I've last been here. I missed Hogwarts.''

'' Hermione got hurt. And the purpose of my mission was not getting her hurt. I failed both you and Hermione.'' Iris smiled and Blaise found himself dumbfounded.

'' Blaise.'' She simply said. '' Do you think we're talking about the mission here?''

'' Do you mean you made up the mission to get us together?'' Blaise asked, rage raising in his chest.

'' Of course not. I need information and somebody inside the school to protect Hermione. You two falling for eachother wasn't a part of the plan, but it came pretty well to the mission. But either ways. When you come to my house, I will reveal to both of you my secret. And you will finally understand why I want Hermione protected.'' Iris said. She took out a clock and said. '' It's getting a bit late and I have a schedule. I will come visit again.'' She started to go away, when Blaise remembered.

'' My best friend, Draco Malfoy, is bound to recieve the dark mark this holidays, but he doesn't want to . I was wondering if he can come with us and hide.'' Iris raiseed an eyebrow, but then smiled, for Blaise's relief.

'' Of course. Everyone against the dark lord will come in handy. Now, if you'll excuse me...'' She put on her hood and walked away, saying a goodbye to Blaise.

Blaise was happy. At least for the Draco and the secret part. But now he had to go back to his lioness. He couldn't afford leaving her alone. Not now. He quickly entered in the room, only to see a sitting Hermione. Her eyes were glowing, and Blaise had asked himself if this was a dream again. He walked over to Hermione and raised a hand to touch her. His shaky hand reached slowly to her cheek, caressing it. Hermione smiled and kissed his hand. Blaise cried of joy that his love was fine, and went forward to hug her, finally. After this week of torture, he was finally his again.

'' Hermione, my Hermione.'' He said, between tears. '' You're fine, my love, you're with me again.''

'' I never left you.'' She mumbled, taking him and bringing him closer, kissing him. She locked her hands in his locks of curly hair and bought him closer. Blaise felt in heaven and even craved for more when she separated from him. '' I will never leave you again.''

Madame Pomfrey looked at the little scene from the door, smiling.She knew only by seeing them that their love was great and unbreakable.
