AN: Chapters 14, 15, and 16 are some of the best chapters yet (in my oppinion), but I need more reviews before I will post them, so please review. You don't want to miss out.

Chapter 14

Hermione woke up to the pleasant sensation of having Draco pressed against her back, spooning her. It wasn't until she looked at the clock that she was fully awake. "Draco, we have to get up, it's nearly 8"

"Go back to bed Hermione. There's nothing wrong with a lie in."

"There is when we have to take our buddies to breakfast. Draco stop that," she giggled. In his valiant attempts to distract her, he had begun kissing a path from her ear to her chest, pausing to give each sensitive spot the attention it deserved. "Oh, alright! You win," said Hermione, sinking back into the warm bed and her lover's arms.

Some time later, a timid looking first year Ravenclaw knocked on the outside of the Head's portrait. Hermione, being the first one roused by the noise, climbed out of bed and the nice warm arms and padded across the rooms to open the door. "Um, Professor Snape sent me to tell you that he would like to see you in his office immediately," related the trembling girl before she dashed off.

'Wonder what that's about,' thought Hermione as she closed the door and dressed.

"Miss Granger, do come in."

"Good morning Professor," chirped Hermione as she entered Snape's office.

"I thought you might like to know that your concoction worked. Miss Weasley is to be released this afternoon, fully healed."

"Really? It worked? That's wonderful," exclaimed Hermione.

"Yes, as it is, I think you should have this," said Snape, handing her the original journal.

"It is only fitting that the potion's creator document the end results. I will collect you and Mr. Malfoy after breakfast so we may leave." The last part fell off, as Hermione had already rushed out of the room to see her work.

Draco woke up to a cold bed, and no Hermione in sight. "Hermione?" No answer. 'Must have already left for breakfast.' As he went about his morning rituals, he wondered if Mcgonagal would let them leave the castle today, before he remembered the buddies. It wasn't that he disliked them, just that they couldn't do anything on their own. He grudgingly headed out the portrait and down the hall to the common room doors to see if his buddies were ready for breakfast.

"Well come on, I haven't got all day. You still here? Hasn't Granger been to get you guys?" he asked one of Hermione's buddies.

"Nope, and it's really annoying cause we're all hungry and sick of waiting."

"Well then hurry up and get your arse out the portrait," snapped Draco. He was always a bear before his coffee, and having to deal with first year Gryffindors didn't help one bit. When all five of the buddies had been collected, they went to breakfast. It wasn't much later that Hermione ran in and joined the rest of the Gryffindors.

Hermione anxiously waited for the meal to be over, she wanted to see what would happen now that she had developed the only known cure for floo splinching. It was a great accomplishment, something that many Potions Masters and Mistresses had been working on for decades, and here she was, still in school no less, and she had done it. She was so worked up with her thoughts, she jumped when a silky voice started behind her.

"Miss Granger, if you would."

"Yes sir," replied Hermione, as she got up and followed him over to the Slytherin table and out of the Great Hall. When they had reached the end of the Hogwarts grounds,

Professor Snape was the first to speak.

"We will be apperating into muggle London, so I suggest a change of attire. We will then proceed to St. Mungos. Afterwards, while we wait, we will gather some of the more rare potions ingredients around the area. Any questions?"

"No sir," said Hermione.

"No Sev," said Draco, changing into a tight fitting Slytherin green shirt with some black pants. "Damn I look hot. Right babe?"

"Yeah, sure. You may look hot, but I kick ass," said Hermione, changing her robes for black flare pants, a tight fitting sleeveless black tee, with leather studded bracelets on both wrists.

Snape just snorted and rolled his eyes. "Both of those statements are debatable. Now if you are quite ready, let's go." With a crack they apparated into muggle London.
