As soon as they were all in Draco and Hermione's common room Severus looked at Draco and said "Draco go and get Miss Granger's pain relief potion. While you are getting that also grab a blanket or something to cover her with."

Draco nodded and headed into the room that Hermione had chosen. He quickly opened up her trunk and pulled out the little box and opened it and grabbed a vial out of it. After placing the box gently back into her trunk he pulled out one of the blankets that was in it and walked back out to the common room. He handed Severus the vial and then walked over to where Hermione sat on the couch. "Do you want to sit like that or would you be more comfortable on my lap?"

Hermione looked up at Draco and whispered "I'd like to sit on your lap please. I know that I'm safe in here but I don't feel safe quite yet."

Draco nodded and sat down beside Hermione. He held out his arms and when he saw her nod he gently pulled her onto his lap and wrapped the blanket around her before wrapping his arms around her and tucking her head into his chest. "How is that Cuz?"

Hermione nodded and snuggled further into Draco. "Much better thank you. Did you bring me my pain relief potion? I thought I'd be able to handle the pain but it is becoming quickly becoming unbearable."

Draco gave a slight smile and said "Professor Snape has it. I'm sure he will give it to you soon. I think he wants to check you over before giving it to you."

Hermione gave a slight nod and then looked around. When she saw that everyone but Lucius, Narcissa, and Blaise were staring at her and Draco in shock she looked back at Draco with a raised eyebrow and then at everyone else. "Why are you all looking at Draco and me like that?"

Minerva chuckled and said "I think I can say for all of us that it is a surprise to see you and Draco getting along with one another. It is quite a shock to see you willingly touch one another in comfort. It may be a surprise but it is a good surprise. I'm glad to see that you had some support after what you have gone through. It is also good to know that you will have support other than Harry when you go through what you will in the following months."

Hermione smiled softly and said "I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't for Draco and Lucius finding me. Before we go any further can I please have my pain relief potion? I feel as if my back is on fire and the pain is getting worse by the second."

Severus nodded and stepped forward. He used his wand to do a Diagnostic text and once he was finished he held out the vial of pain relief potion. "While you take the potion Miss Granger I'm going to check the wards you have placed. More than likely I will be adding some more wards. I'm also going to open up the floo system in your fireplace. Now before you start to worry I want you to know the only ones who can floo in are Lucius, Narcissa, Albus, Minerva, Poppy and myself. You and Draco will of course be able to access it also."

Hermione nodded and bit her lip and then asked "Will you please also make sure that Harry can use it as well as Remus?"

Severus frowned slightly but then nodded. "I will add Lupin and Potter so that they can also floo in or out if needed."

Hermione nodded and then downed then sat up straighter and downed the pain relief potion. She leaned her head back against Draco's chest and closed her eyes. She took in a deep breath and let it out while the potion kicked in. She could hear Severus moving around but she didn't open her eyes. She felt someone garb a hold of her hand but could tell that it was Harry so once again she didn't open her eyes.

She kept her eyes closed because she was fighting the urge to get sick. For some reason every once in a while when she took the pain relief potion she would get nauseated with it. She hadn't told her new found family because she knew that they would worry and she didn't want them to. She felt a hand on her head and couldn't even open up her eyes. All she could do was groan.

Draco heard Hermione groan and he looked at her in concern. He saw her eyes close and a grimace on her face. "Are you okay Hermione?"

Severus heard Draco's question to Hermione and he quickly turned his head to look over his shoulder at the two. He frowned when he saw the look on Hermione's face. He quickly finished what he was doing and then walked over to the couch. He thought for a second and then knelt down in front of Draco and Hermione and placed his hand on Hermione's forehead caused Draco to move his. He could feel the sweat that was on Hermione's head and frowned again. "Miss Granger I need for you to tell me what is the matter. Are you in pain?"

Hermione swallowed hard and forced her eyes open. She saw that Severus was kneeling in front of her and then she looked at Draco and saw the concern on his face. "I'm just feeling a bit nauseas. I sometimes feel this way after I take the pain relief potion. It will pass soon."

Severus frowned and said "How often is sometimes Miss Granger?"

Hermione sighed. "I usually feel nausea's once a day when I take the pain relief potion three times a day. I really will be alright in a moment."

Severus sighed and stood up. "Minerva can you go to the infirmary and tell Poppy that we need a anti-nausea potion please?"

Minerva smiled and nodded and then said "Is the floo system operating now in here?"

Severus nodded and then watched as Minerva walked over to the fireplace and threw some of of the floo powder into the fireplace. As soon as he saw her through it he turned back towards Hermione. "Is there anything else wrong?"

Hermione shook her head and then nodded. "My back is still on fire. Usually the potion is working by now."

Severus frowned and took his wand out and ran it over Hermione once again. When it came back normal he gently pulled Hermione forward and looked at Draco. "Lift up the back of Miss Granger's shirt."

Draco nodded and did as he was told and then gasped. "Her back is bright red."

Severus stood up and rounded the couch and looked at Hermione's back. When he saw the redness of it he frowned and then used his wand and cast a silent spell. He looked back down at her when he heard her sigh in relief. "How is that Miss Granger?"

Hermione gave a sigh of relief again and said "It feels much better. Thank you Sir."

Severus nodded. "You're welcome Miss Granger. I believe that when Weasley cursed you earlier it aggravated the scars on your back. Your back should be fine by tomorrow. When Minerva comes back we'll talk about what exactly happened. Are you going to need a Calming-Draught before hand?"

Hermione sighed and shook her head. "No thank you Sir. I'll be okay and if I do need one I have some in my room."

Severus nodded and then looked at Albus. "We will need to make sure that everyone stays calm and that Miss Granger remains calm. If it gets to be too much for her I reserve the right to call a halt until Miss Granger is feeling better. If she gets too tired she will go and lay down and we will finish this later. Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Potter and Mr. Zabini can all stay with Miss Granger tonight and keep an eye on her. It'll be best if she isn't alone given what happened earlier. I can't and won't give her a Dreamless Sleep potion because I'm not sure how she will react to it since we know that she is pregnant."

Albus nodded and said "That is fine Severus. I'm sure Lucius and Narcissa will agree with what you have just said."

Lucius and Narcissa both nod just as Minerva comes back through the fireplace. They watch as Minerva hands Severus the potion and then they stare in astonishment while Severus actually gives the potion to Hermione. They both couldn't believe how gentle Severus was being with Hermione.
