Chapter 43
"Bloody hell who do you think you are telling me how to behave." Ron yelled his face redder than his hair.
"I weasel as you know am Hermione's Boyfriend, and If you do not quite down Professor Snape isn't going to have to worry about you much longer I will personally remove you myself." Draco drawled in a cold voice still not looking from Hermione.
Ron clenched his fists at his sides, a emitted a low growl, but as he opened his mouth to start another yelling session, Harry laid his hand on Ron's shoulder. "Ron, Malfoy is right it isn't helping Hermione any to yell" Harry said in a low voice.
"But Harry" Ron started.
"Harry is right" Ginny said giving her brother a stern look "If the yelling is doing anything it is making the condition worse, and if you cannot act like an adult then go back to the tower, and someone will come for you when she awakes"
"Ginny you can't possibly be taking Malfoys' side over mine." Ron said.
"I can and I will, besides he is looking out for Hermione's well being, who else do you think went after her." Ginny said as she walked over beside Hermione's bed.
"You were the one who went after Mione?" Harry ask
"Of course I went after her, do think I would just abandon her" Draco said looking at Harry.
"Well then I guess a thanks is in order then, never thought that I would be saying this Malfoy, but thanks for being there for our Mione." Harry said walking over to Draco and holding out his hand. Draco shook it.
"No problem Potter there is nowhere else I would rather be than beside Hermione." Draco said with a small smile. "And I am not leaving till she wakes up" Draco added for the benefit of Madam Pomfrey who was still in her office.
A week went by and Draco still sat by Hermione's beside, he didn't move unless he had to go to the loo, and that took no more than five minutes. Madam Pomfrey was starting to worry about his health, but no matter what she tried, she could not get the boy to go up to his common room and take a shower and perhaps rest for just an hour. Not even threatening him with detention would do any good, and that potions master was no better, He was in here more often than not. In fact he had even found a way to bring a class up to the infirmary just so he didn't have to be away from his daughter to long. So Madam Pomfrey sent an owl to Ginny Weasley asking her to meet her in her office.
Ginny arrived promptly as Madam Pomfrey requested. "Yes Madam Pomfrey you wanted to see me" Ginny said coming through the door.
"Yes Miss Weasley I know you aren't very good friends with Mr. Malfoy but I was wondering if you would help me in convincing him that he must at least go up and take a shower, and rest for at least an hour, he hasn't been out of this infirmary for more than I would say an hour in this week. He hasn't attended any classes, or even had any proper rest the boy is worn out." Madam Pomfrey said exasperated.
"I will do what I can Madam Pomfrey." Ginny said with a small smile.
"Thank-you child." Madam Pomfrey said as she went over to a cabinet in her office and pulled out a small vile of a blue potion. "This is a sleeping potion, I believe it would do Mr. Malfoy some good if he would take it. You and I both know with Hermione in the condition she is in, he will of course refuse, but if you were to get him so tea and slip this in it he won't taste a thing and within fifteen minutes he will be out sleeping like a baby." Madam Pomfrey explained holding the vile out to Ginny.
"You want me to drug Malfoy." Ginny ask.
"It is in his best interest dear he is going to worry himself sick if he doesn't get some rest." Madam Pomfrey said.
"alright" Ginny said taking the vile and slipping it in her robe pocket, and heading out of the office toward Draco.
"Bloody hell who do you think you are telling me how to behave." Ron yelled his face redder than his hair.
