Chapter 10 "I'm nowhere NEAR attracted to you!"



Hermione and Draco nearly got to that big ol' door, but stumbled and fell, taking Hermione with him. "Draco? You okay?" Hermione said between laughs. "Yeah, its just my stomach," he said between laughs and winces of pain.

Hermione kissed Draco on the forehead grabbed his hands to bring him to his feet. "Your father really did a number on you didn't he?" Draco nodded and he wrapped his arm around her shoulder again, whilst she grabbed his waist.

They were almost to the feast when Draco had an idea. "Is there a spell to cover up my bruises on my body?" Draco asked. "Yes but it only lasts for a few hours." Hermione replied. "That's long enough I think," said Draco coming to an idea. "You could put that spell on me, to cover up the bruises and we can go to the Hospital Wing after the feast, to see if she can do anything about my back pain." Draco said, in hope the idea was a good one.

"That's not a bad idea!" Hermione grabbed her wand and whispered, "Bodicus Bruisnos." The bruises were gone, even though Hermione and Draco didn't check.

"Hermione, meet me after the feast in the Great Hall after everyone is gone." Draco said as he let go of Hermione and slowly, painfully, walked into the feast.

Hermione watched as he entered, waited a minute and walked in herself, and practically ran to the Gryffindor table.

She had walked in just as Dumbledore was giving his speech; he saw her come in and smiled at her, and nodded. Hermione, confused, smiled back.

The feast was great, as usual. NO conversation came about her, Ron, or Harry about Draco. They talked about Quidditch, and the new DADA professor, well not exactly new, Remus Lupin decided to come back! (

After the feast, Hermione did as told and waited. When everyone cleared out, no one was in the hall. And surprisingly no Prefect or Head Boy/Girl pushed her along. She waited a couple minutes, no Draco. She decided to leave, that's when the door opened and out came Draco, slowly, but steadily walking towards her. She ran to him.

"Okay, now, lets go to Madame Pomfrey. Hermione helped Draco walk along to the Hospital Wing. When they got there, to see Pomfrey's face was almost amusing. I mean, come on, the two most unlikely people walked in together.

"What may I do for you?" She asked flatly. "My.back," Draco started. "He's been getting pains in his back at the most random moments." Hermione finished. "Well, I'm rather tired right now, so I'll just give you a muggle medicine to help your back. Its rather powerful. Its called Hydroconone, or Vicadon. When you take it, you'll go, somewhat, numb and won't be able to feel. I suggest you take it with water and lie down. You'll soon fall asleep. Okay? Got that?" Madame Pomfrey said quickly, but understandably as she handed Draco a container of pills. Draco nodded.

They left, "That spell was almost pointless." Draco said. "Yeah, but at least we were precautious." Hermione said happily.

Hermione took Draco to the Slytherin entrance and left him there. She then rushed off to Gryffindor Tower.

When Draco got into the Slytherin commons after guessing a billion passwords to get in, he decided to lie down on a couch in the common room and take a pill. No one was in there, everyone was off to bed. He took a pill, thank god he had taken a Tylenol a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have known how to take a pill, and probably would have chewed it up.

Like Madame Pomfrey said, he got numb and fell asleep.

Before long someone whispered "Draco" in his ear. "Herm?" Draco said so quietly, only he heard. Draco really thought it was Hermione so he didn't open his eyes. Seconds later someone was on top of him, sitting. She bent down and kissed him, launching her tongue down his throat. Draco instinctively kissed back. It was rather sloppy since he couldn't feel all that well. Just as Draco began to kiss her neck, he opened his eyes, and he jumped. It was "PANSY, what the HELL?!" Draco screamed as he saw who it was. "What were you doing?" He demanded. "Just playing," She replied flirtatiously.

"Get off!" He managed to say before she kissed him again. He shoved her off of him. "What?" Pansy said weakly as she hit the floor. "PANSY.I thought I TOLD you! I'm nowhere NEAR attracted to you!" Draco said as he stood up. Pansy stood up and slapped Draco. Draco didn't feel anything, thank god, for she slapped him where his father had. Draco picked up the container of pills and left to the boy's dorm.

When he got there, he walked to his bed, took off his robes and changed into his pajamas. Still tired from the medicine, he fell asleep once more.

When Hermione got to Gryffindor Tower, she sat before the fat lady for a long time guessing passwords. "OH COME ON, don't you remember me from the past 5 years?" Hermione finally yelled. "Yes I do, but you must know that password!" The Fat Lady replied. "PLEASE! I'm tired and." Hermione continued to whine about all these problems when the Fat Lady finally opened. "THANK YOU!" Hermione screamed as she ran inside.

Right when she got in, she ran up to the Girls Dormitory, ran to her bed and fell asleep in her robes.
