Teacher Pet
Draco pulled himself out of bed as he heard Hermione walk into the Common Room. He was happy to know she was back, but when he heard her talking to someone the happiness died out. Draco put his ear to the wall and listened hard what was being said.
"Ron, I can't go out with you tonight. With Malfoy bed sentenced I have to do his patrol. I am sorry maybe tomorrow night ok?" He heard Hermione say. Draco felt red hot with anger.
"Well I could walk with you for the first half of your patrol and we could go out tomorrow too. What do you say; please?" Ron begged
"Oh alright Ron, but let me get Malfoy his dinner and homework for the night." Draco jumped back into the bed when he heard this, throwing his cover over his head. He didn't know why he was acting so crazy all of the sudden, but he had a feeling it was because of the bubbly feeling he got when Hermione was close to him.
His door opened as Hermione walked inside. She came over to the bed instantly fluffing his pillows and retucking him in.
"I've got your homework here Malfoy and I'm about to go down and get your dinner. What would you like?" She asked as she put his homework down, lighting some candles for him. "Once I'm done my patrol I will come back and draw you a bath." Draco snorted.
"I'm not hungry." He huffed as he crossed his arms over his chest. "And I don't want to take a bath." Draco felt hot, so he threw off his covers and tried to get up. Hermione pushed him back down in bed tucking him back in.
"Malfoy just relax, if you're not hungry now I'll come back in an hour and see if you want anything then." She smiled as she fluffed his pillows. "When I come back if you want a bath then I can draw it for you. If you don't that's alright too. You just relax ok? I'll be back in an hour." She went to get up, but Draco grabbed her arm. Hermione turned and looked him in the eyes.
"Granger…. I don't um…. I want to go on patrol with you. I can't stand to stay in this room another moment." He felt his face flush with the lie. He just wanted to make sure Ron didn't try and kiss his Hermione!
Hermione sighed "I am sorry, but no you can't come with me. You have a cold coming on and forest bit. I can't have you running around the school." He looked around trying to think of something to say. "But if you can't take this room any more, let me set you up in the Common Room. Ok?" She reached out a hand brushing his cheek.
Not knowing what to say he nodded his head yes. Hermione helped him out of bed and to the sofa in front of the fire. She put his feet up, grabbing a pillow off a chair and sticking it under them. She turned to Ron.
"Ron can you go to my room and bring down some of my books? Unless there is a book you're already reading or one you have in your room you want." She asked as she looked back at Draco. Draco was a bit speechless, at Hermione's sweet; soft and almost loving act.
"No I don't…" He whispered softly. She only glanced at Ron as he grumbled going to her room. Hermione disappeared for a moment and reappeared with his pillows and blacks. She set up his pillows and covered him with the blankets. "Um… Thanks Granger." He whispered, she smiled putting his homework down.
"Oh, yeah um… Malfoy there a paper in here asking you about my job as your mediwitch. You don't have to do it right off, but I have to turn it in tomorrow. I'm sorry to bug you with it…." She look kind of nervous as Ron came back with a pail of books.
"Here." He grunted as he put the books on the table. "Can we go now?" He huffed.
"Oh, um... Malfoy are you sure you're not hungry?" Hermione asked as she got off the floor.
"Um… Yes I am fine for now." He said softly.
"Ok then, I'll be back in an hour to check on you and make sure you take your potion." She and Ron then left the room. Draco grumbled as he picked up his homework. After he was half way done he saw the paper for Hermione's grade. He decided to do it; it went as follows;
1. Attitude? He gave her an A
2. Is she there when you need her? He wrote yes.
3. Bedside manner? He wrote; Hermione Gingerer has a fantastic bedside manner. She doesn't get upset with her patient no matter how grumpy they are. It is my personal belief she will not only become a mediwitch, but she will become the best. She will heal people with her kind and loving spirit.
4. Does she give you the right potion and amounts? He wrote yes.
5. Comments? (He wrote) In my personal opinion she is even now the greatest mediwitch I have ever had the plashed of being taken care of by.
After that Draco did the rest of his homework. When he was done he went through the books Ron had brought out from Hermione's room. Picking the one called
'World War II' to read, he relaxed. As he read he was shocked to find it was not a story, but a document of an actual war. He became engrossed in how much this muggle war was just like the war the Wizarding world was going through. He was so shocked in he didn't hear the soft pop behind him or see the woman sit down behind him. He didn't even know she was there until she whispered in his ear.
"Hello lover boy. I missed you in class today." Vicky breathed heavily on his neck.
