Chapter 8
Feelings
"Hermoine it's time for more medicine." Malfoy cooed softly into Hermoine's ear.
"Cut the shit, Malfoy. I'm not asleep." Hermoine sat up groggily and looked angrily at Draco.
"Now, aren't you feisty?" Malfoy laughed, "Are you ready?" He poured some of the thick liquid into a small cup. It had lines on in; each one labeled with a number. He stopped at ten.
"That stuff is horrible." Hermoine crossed her arms stubbornly. "It's not working either. I still have a dreadful headache."
"You still have to take it." Malfoy sealed the lid to the vial. "Now open up that viper mouth of yours."
"It's hardly worth the effort it takes to swallow." Despite her complaining Hermoine obediently opened her mouth. It seemed with the age of the four hours the medicine had gotten worse, but she choked it down anyway.
"That wasn't so bad, now. Was it?" Said Malfoy as he watched with glee, Hermoine's face contort in disgust.
Hermoine glared at him spitefully.
"What's keeping you up?" Malfoy asked as her sat at eh end of her bed. "Is it that Cardinal Blue, again?"
"Why should you care?" Hermoine sighed and rolled over angrily.
"I…" Malfoy didn't know what to say. Here he was trying to be nice, but she just wouldn't let him.
Hermoine could feel him struggling for words, so she forced herself to sit up and listen to what he had to say. Malfoy looked at her and blushed.
"I…" He said again not sure how to finish the sentence.
"Draco… I'm sorry." Hermoine said, not giving him the time to think of the words he wanted to share. "I've been a bitch to you."
Malfoy looked at her surprised. "You called me Draco." He said wide eyed.
Hermione blushed and pulled the covers tight around herself. "I know," she said meekly.
"Hermoine, I just care." Draco looked her in the eyes as seriously but kindly as he could.
Hermoine smiled, "You called me Hermoine." Draco smiled back at her reassuringly.
"Professor Blue is keeping you awake, isn't he?" He looked down at his hands as they lay in his lap.
"Yes…" Hermoine said quietly. "I can't get him out of my dreams."
Draco looked back up at her. Hermoine's eyes were wet with tears. "You shouldn't be afraid." He told her.
"I can't help it, Draco." Her brows furrowed in distress.
"Hermione," Draco put his hand gently over hers. "I'll keep him away for you."
Hermoine looked at him and blushed. He was so irresistible. This beautiful lad saying he would protect her.
She turned away to hide her red cheeks and said, "Thank you… Draco."
A.N. Okay that's the end… Ha-ha Psyche! Did I scare ya?! Yeah I thought so… This chapter is short and seems so useless yet so vital. I need to do my homework. And did you notice that I named it after one of Vaca's chapters? Yup I stool the name! Bwah ha ha ha! Cow patty comes flying out of no where nearly missing my head Ah! Don't kill me!!!!!
