Rain of Tears
Chapter 16 Hold Me
Hermione went to bed that night with her thoughts on Draco. She couldn't believe everything that had happened. She was truly in love with Draco. The way he made her feel and how he swept her off her feet, everything seemed unbelievable.
Hermione woke up the next morning with a terrible headache, but before she could think of doing anything about it, Draco walked into her room. "Good Morning love," he said with a brilliant smile.
"Morning," said Hermione weakly.
"Are you all right?" asked Draco noticing how pale she looked.
"Yeah, I just have a headache," said Hermione.
"Do you want me to get you anything?" asked Draco, a bit concerned.
"No," said Hermione, smiling at his concern, "I'll be fine, it's just a headache, it will go away."
"Are you sure?" asked Draco, still not convinced, Hermione nodded. "Aright then, well, I brought you some breakfast, it's down stairs, all go get it," said Draco standing up from the bed and immediately being pulled down by Hermione.
"No, it's okay, I'll go eat down there," she said pulling the blankets off her and placing her feet on the ground. Hermione was walking down the stairs when suddenly she stopped and she grabbed on to the rail and turned to look at Draco. Draco was shocked to see her so pale, she looked as if she'd seen a ghost. Hermione's eyelids became very heavy and before Draco could do anything she went tumbling down the stairs.
"Hermione," Draco screamed as he watch her hit the bottom of the stairs. He quickly ran towards her and picked her up caring her up to his room and setting her on the bed. He began to gently hit her face to see if she would awake. Hermione opened her eyelids.
"Your burning up," said Draco, as he touched her head to cover the wound on her forehead, which was bleeding quite badly. After cleaning her wound, he carefully pulled of his sweater, which she had worn to bed, leaving her only in a black bra.
Draco rushed to the bathroom and turned on the shower so that the water was a bit cold. He then, carefully, led Hermione to his bathroom. He waited for her outside as she took a shower to drop her fever. Hermione did as he asked feeling to weak to argue.
Draco brushed Hermione's hair from her face and then did it in two braids so it wouldn't get in her face or get knotted and tangled. Hermione found it highly amusing that Draco had skills in fixing women's hair.

"Chicken soup, made especially for you," said Draco, placing a tray with a bowl of soup on the bed. Hermione looked at the bowl it was Chicken soup with noodles, carrots and potato in it. She made of face as if disgusted by the food and said "I'm not hungry."
Draco sighed in frustration "Hermione you haven't eaten anything all day! You have to eat something, or your just going to get yourself more ill, by not eating." He said, holding a spoon full of soup up to her.
"But it won't taste like anything," said Hermione.
"Don't be so childish Hermione."
"No, I don't want to eat anything!" said Hermione as she pushed the spoon away from her.
"I don't want you to get worse," said Draco, "I don't want to lose you." At this Hermione sighed and opened her mouth letting Draco give her a spoonful of soup. She made a face as if it tasted like the worst thing in the world and Draco laughed saying, "Childish, Childish, Childish."
Hermione spent most of the day in bed listening Draco tell jokes and childhood stories. Every now and then, he would check her fever she had one all day, but it wasn't as bad.
Later in the afternoon, Hermione's fever did rise. He wanted to call Madam Pomfrey, but Hermione wouldn't dare let him leave her side. So, Draco kept placing cold, wet cloths on her forehead, until her fever went down again. "See what happens when you play in the rain," said Draco as he wet a piece of cloth.
Hermione smiled, "Imagine what wouldn't have happened if I didn't." Draco smirked. Even though Hermione was sick, he was glad she decided to play in the rain. They never would have kissed and Draco would have never been able to taste her lips.
Once night fell, Draco sat next to Hermione and gently brushed her hair until she fell asleep. Hermione was sleeping in his bed, so he decided that he would go sleep in hers. He was about to walk out of his room when Hermione called out to him. Draco quickly rushed back to her side. "What's wrong?" asked Draco, a bit concerned as to why she had called him and grabbed his hand.
"Don't leave me alone," she said weakly. Draco looked around his room and let go of her hand as he went to pull an armchair towards the bed. "Draco," Hermione called when he let go.
Draco quickly rushed back, took her hand again, and said, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm not going to leave you. I'm just going to pull up an arm chair," He said placing a kiss on her hand. Draco pulled the armchair, which was by the fireplace and started to brush Hermione's hair. "You can sleep here, next to me," she said looking up at him, "I know how tired you must be, and how uncomfortable it must be to sleep in an armchair."
"Are you sure?" asked Draco not certain if he should.
Hermione smiled, "I trust you." Draco lay on the opposite side of the bed trying not to make any body contact. "Draco?" said Hermione.
"I'm here, shhhhh," said Draco as he turned around to brush her hair.
"Draco"
"Yes," said Draco to tell Hermione he was listening.
"Hold me," asked Hermione. Draco placed his arms around her waist and Hermione laced their fingers together. Laying there next to him with his arms around her made her feel so safe, so protected of everything. She wished that, that night would last forever.
