"Not all scars show,
Not all wounds heal
Sometimes you cannot see
The pain that some one feels"

Hermione pressed the intercom for the last time and spoke in annoyance," Pansy, for the last time, where are the files of this week. You know I have to fill them and give them to healer Susie till Friday".
Just as Hermione finished speaking, her personal assistant, Pansy Parkinson, burst into her office looking flustered and carrying the files which she required. Pansy smiled at Hermione and said" Sorry Mione, apparently, the file manager still hates me". Hermione laughed and took the files from Pansy, allowing her to take a seat.
After the war, Hermione had pursued her dream and became a healer at a new and advanced wizarding hospital, St. Mary Anne's. She was now a very successful healer and specialized in dark curses and in physiological healing.
Pansy Parkinson on the other hand, was stripped from most of her fortune and was left with very little honor and money until Hermione took her in. Pansy now worked as a part time healer and as an assistant to Hermione. They both were best of friends and lived right next to each other.

Just as Hermione turned around to take some material, a knock was heard on her office. Pansy jumped up and opened the door slightly and whom she saw blew her away. It was...Draco Malfoy, her childhood friend. She stared at him with her eyes open wide and opened the door for him to enter. Hermione asked with her back still on Pansy and Draco's side" Pansy, who is it?". When no response was heard, she turned around and dropped the paper weight in her hands on seeing the face of her childhood enemy. She had to admit, he had grown really handsome since Hogwarts. She wouldn't have recognized him but his blonde hair had definitely given him away. She quickly composed herself and greeted him" Mr. Malfoy, how can I help you?".
Draco observed her carefully, she had grown beautiful over time and her hair were no longer frizzy but went till her mid waist in soft curls but her chestnut eyes were still the same.

He cleared his throat and said" Healer Granger, can I have a word". Hermione nodded and gestured to the seat in front of, she said" Well, take a seat then. Pansy, can you excuse us for some time?" Pansy nodded and left the room.
It was very awkward, but Hermione managed not to show it"So Malfoy, what exactly brings you to 's ?"
Draco looked at her with an expression like a stone and said" My mother, she is suffering from psychological disorder. I came here and Senior Healer Peterson sent me here as you are the best psychologist in the hospital and thus is the reason of my presence here". Hermione nodded and took out her notepad and asked" So, what exactly are her symptoms?" Draco looked a little uneasy but said" She's stuck in the past. She mourns over my father and has tried to hurt herself plenty of times. She keeps talking to herself and cries over the warm. She's been having severe panic attacks". Hermione felt bad for the lady Malfoy and asked" So, you seek a psychologist to heal her?" Malfoy scoffed and said" Obviously. But I have conditions",

Hermione raised her eyebrows and asked" And if I agree to be her healer, what are these conditions?". Malfoy's eyes went wide in surprise but nevertheless he said" Firstly, you need be a full time healer for her which means you'll spend most of your time at the Manor. Secondly, she needs to be comfortable with you. Thirdly, no handling other cases while you're treating her and I cannot assure you that I'll be at the Manor very often. I am a very busy man". Hermione secretly smiled at his statements, classic Malfoy to say the very obvious things, she said" I need some time to think about it but I'll let you know later today". Malfoy looked and her with hope in his eyes and said" Thank you. It will mean so much to us if you agree. Here's my card with my number" as he gave her his card. She took the card and smiled at him as they both departed with a handshake.

Draco was utterly surprised she had even thought about being his mother's personal healer. After all those years, she wouldn't want to have anything to do with him or his family. He would be very grateful if he agreed to be her mother's healer.

You see, Draco was one of the most successful businessmen and potioneer of the wizarding world so it was apparent that he was a busy man. And then was his engagement with Astoria Greengrass. It had been his father's wish before he died, to engage him to Astoria. They both weren't happy, but never admitted it. They both knew arranged marriages in the wizarding world were supposed be like this.

Draco quickly made his way out of the hospital and apperated to Malfoy Manor.
When he landed in Malfoy Manor's living room, he saw Astoria sitting on the armchair fiddling with her engagement ring. When she saw him he gestured him to take a seat and drink some water. Astoria looked at him and said" There is something I need to tell you, Draco" he looked at her and she continued with much difficulty" I.. I want to break the engagement".
He stood up and asked with confusion and anger in his voice" What? Why?" Astoria sighed and walked over to him and said" Draco, you know the engagement wouldn't work from the start. You and I are friends and I want it to stay that way. I want you to be happy as I am. Draco, I- I've fallen in love with some one". Draco's head shot up at the confession as Astoria smiled at him and said" I want you to find love like I did and then live a happy life, not stuck with a pureblood witch whom you don't know about. I don't want to abandon you or Narcissa but it's time I realized what I really wanted. I wish you luck and I hope Narcissa gets well soon" she took his hand's in her, placed the ring in his hand and said" I want you to give this to some one special to you. I don't have much time left and we both know I'll die in 3 or more years but I want to spend those with some one I love and who makes me happy. Remember, we'll always be friends and if you need anything, I'll be here". With that, Astoria apperated out of the Manor, leaving Draco alone and broken, again. He ran his hands through his hair in a feeling he couldn't quite describe. Questions and thoughts ran through his head like a Marathon was going on in there.
Who'll take care of his mother now?
How will he explain about this to his mother?
How in the world will he live all alone?
Whom does he have to talk to now?
Will he die all alone, being successful but unhappy?

Hell, he needed a psychologist himself. Granger has to agree to heal his mother or god knows what he'll do without some help. He couldn't deal with his emotions as well as his mothers too.

...

In the evening, Hermione sat in her apartment's couch, thinking about Narcissa Malfoy's case. It seemed she had a psychological disorder which was nothing knew since she had seen many cases who were mourning about the war and the past. Many of the people she knew were happy and had moved on from the horrible past. Harry was an Auror and was married to Ginny who worked in the Daily Prophet and both lived peacefully in the Godric's Hollow. Ron was an Auror too and was engaged to a half blood witch named Clarissa Breeze who was the editor of Witch Weekly . Neville was a botanical scientist and was married to Hannah Abott who worked in the Department of International Magical Cooperation. Luna Lovegood was a wizarding naturalist married to Rolf Scammander who was an employee of the Daily Prophet.
Everyone was happy and with some one whom they loved, except Hermione. She was all alone and if it hadn't been for Pansy then she didn't know what she would have done.

As if on the cue, Pansy walked in shutting the door behind her and flopped down on the couch. Hermione looked at her and said sarcastically" Ever thought of knocking?". Pansy replied" Heh, what's the use if I already know that you always let me in". Hermione shook her head at that and asked Pansy as she headed towards her kitchenette" What do you want? Surely you're not here just to drink some hot chocolate and eat cookies". Pansy laughed at how Hermione knew her so well and said" That and why did Draco Malfoy want to talk to you?"
Hermione gave a sigh as she stirred the mug of hot chocolate and said" It's his mother, She's suffering from a psychological disorder. So, he wanted to ask me if I would be his mother's personal healer" Pansy turned over to look at her from her place at the couch" And what did you say?" Hermione took out some cookies on a plate and said" I said I would let him know sometime today". Hermione put the mugs and the plate on the coffee table and Pansy asked" Are you going to agree?" Hermione sat down and said" Maybe. I really want to help Mrs. Malfoy but I don't know if I can stop seeing any other patients because of it and leave you alone". Pansy put a hand on her shoulder and said" I think you should agree. I've known Draco and Narcissa for a long time and I know that both of them would be grateful if you did. Draco may need help with Narcissa because he called me today and told me that Astoria Greengrass had broken their engagement. And besides, I'll be fine on my own and I'll keep dropping by at the Manor alright?".
Hermione smiled and said" Alright then, I'll call him".
She dialed Malfoy's phone number from his card and was met with a gruff voice on the other end" Hello? Who's this?" Hermione replied with an intake of breathe" It's Hermione Granger. I agree to being Lady Malfoy's personal healer". Malfoy's voice sounded very surprised" Really?" Hermione nodded her head even though she knew he couldn't see her and asked" So should I come to inspect her tomorrow?". Malfoy agreed and they decided that Hermione would take a look at Narcissa tomorrow morning after breakfast. Hermione turned to Pansy and said" It's done, I'll see her tomorrow morning". Pansy smiled and pulled her in for a hug and said" I'm glad you did that Mione. I'm really proud of you" Hermione chuckled and said" Let's hope it's worth it, Pansy".
