Chapter 7
Midnight Healing and Revelations
"Trust him." The words echoed in her head. How could she trust someone who had been the torment of all her school years. Sure she knew that she was being a bit childish but wouldn't you if he had done that for 5 years of your life?
Hermione was brought out of her thoughts when finally one of them spoke. "So how did you do that again?" Asked Draco who was now leaning on a desk in front of her.
"I got into a fist fight with my reflection." Said Hermione with a huge grin on her face. It was like she was proud of this fact.
"Why would you go and do a thing like that?" Draco asked her after he finished laughing. What got to Hermione was that it wasn't a malicious laugh, but a whole-hearted laugh at something she had said.
"Well I don't know why I'm telling you this but I had just found out that I was adopted. So I was a little less then happy about how they went about telling me." She told Draco. Draco, who was now rummaging through Snape's potion cabinet looked at her.
"Should you be doing that?" Asked Hermione who knew that if they were found in here could get in a lot of trouble. But that fact didn't bug her as much as what it would do to her reputation. Getting in a classroom after hours with Draco Malfoy.
"No. But I'm guessing you don't want to go to Pomfrey and I know how to help you. So if there are no objections I think I will continue to look for what I need." Said Draco before pulling out a small cauldron and about 15 different ingredients.
"So what was that correction you never told me about?" Asked Draco who had now made a small fire under the cauldron.
"What? Oh that I am not a Mudblood anymore. Actually I am more of a pureblood then you could ever be!" Said Hermione. She waited for his reaction. He looked her right in the eye. All she did was give him one of her famous innocent smiles.
"You have got to be kidding me. You a pureblood no way." Said Draco he couldn't believe it. 'No way! Of all the things in the world to correct me on. But her eyes tell me that she's telling the truth.
"Yes I am. So you can stop calling me Mudblood. Just to let you know, I own more property and have more vaults at Gringotts than all of your family times 2!!" Finished Hermione. Draco's eyes got so big they looked like they were about to pop out of his head.
"Take that Death Eater!" Hermione looked right at Draco when she said the last part. She looked into his eyes and one emotion stuck out in his eyes at the moment. Anger.
"I am not a Death Eater like you would love to believe. You maybe smart but you know nothing of what you speak." Draco said to her in a deadly calm voice. He was now adding more ingredients to the potion.
"Well I know that most of Slytherin will become Death Eaters or followers of Voldemort somehow. I know that your Father is an evil one at that. That you will probably become one next year or after graduation." Hermione would have kept going but Draco had pushed her against the table and was on top of her. He grabbed onto her good wrist and held it above her head. He had her pinned.
"For someone who is supposed to be very intelligent you sure are stupid. For one my Father like Snape is a spy. I will never become a Death Eater or follow the Dark Lord EVER!" He said the last part a little stronger then he meant to. He was so close to her face that she could feel his words on her lips.
Hermione looked into his eyes to find some trace that he was lying to her. She couldn't find anything at all. What she did see though shocked her. She saw life and passion with something she had only seen in Viktor. Lust the hunger of someone. At that point she was broken out of her train of thought as Draco spoke again.
"And also, most of the people out of my house are good people. You just believe in what you are told. Did you ever for once not judge who we were just because of the reputation given to us by people ages ago?" Draco asked her.
She never thought in her life that she would have had this conversation with this person. She thought about it for a moment. Then a thought came to her. "Well since we are on this topic. Why were you cruel to me when I thought I was a Mudblood? Answer that for me." Hermione asked him. They were still very close to each other. But neither of them were bothered by this. 'Wow I can't believe she hasn't punched me yet. Oh.. Wait she can't I have her good arm. But she hasn't even tried to knock me off'.
"Well I had to keep up the image that I was the son of a Death Eater and I really don't like your best Friends if you didn't notice." At the mention of them Hermione let out a snort.
"Please do not mention those prats around me if you please." Said Hermione her voice laced with venom.
Draco got off of Hermione and went back to the cauldron. He added a few more ingredients and then looked back at Hermione. She was still laying flat on her back on the table. She had her eyes closed as if she were deep in thought. Draco then had an evil thought.
"Waiting for me to climb back on?" said Draco with a grin plastered on his face. At that Hermione's eyes opened and looked at him.
"You only wish." Said Hermione as she sat up. She looked over to see how the potion was going. Another thought came to her.
"Draco." It sounded funny to her using his first name. "Why are you helping me?" she really wanted to know what would posses him to do anything that would help her.
"I want to see you Free-Fall, I am not that bad of a guy and those are some pretty bad cuts on your arms." Said Draco in his matter of fact tone.
"Well then I guess that a thank you is in order so Thank You." Hermione said this to him with a genuine felling of Gratitude.
"Your Welcome. Now come over here, the potion is done and it won't take that long to heal you." Draco told her while examining the contents of the cauldron.
"Are you this pushy with all your women or am I just special?" Hermione asked him with a devilish grin on her face.
"No I think that you're just special. And since when are you a women?" Draco said to her with a quizzical look on his face. At that comment Hermione sent him a quick kick to the thigh.
"Ouch. That hurt. Okay no more Mr. Nice Guy." Draco then picked Hermione up and laid he down on the table.
"Oh. Couldn't wait to get me on my back again Draco. You really should learn to control yourself." Hermione said to him while trying not to laugh. Draco could feel the blood rushing to his skin. 'I never blush. Maybe it's just her'
"Oh you know it Hermione. Now be a good patient and try not to scream or injure the doctor." Draco knew that the potion was going to hurt at first. He hoped that she would be able to take the pain. 'Let's see how strong you are.'
"Okay this is going to hurt a bit. Any questions before I work my Malfoy magic?" Draco asked her with a sly grin on his face.
"Yes. How long will it hurt for, do any of the Slytherins become Death Eaters, where did you learn to Free-Fall?" Hermione said while giving him the I'm as sweet as an angel look.
"No time to talk. I have to fix those wounds of yours. Otherwise I get all the Free-Falling bragging rights." At that point Hermione just wanted to get this over with. So she did the only thing she could think of. She saluted him and said "Ten Four Rubber Duckie."
Draco looked at her like she had gone mad "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" 'She is a lot different then I thought she would be.' Thought Draco.
"Okay hold on." She looked at him and nodded. Draco very genitally lifted up the sleeve of her robe. He carefully wiped the blood off and looked at the wounds.
"I have one piece of advice." He didn't wait for her to answer before he continued on with what he was saying. "Next try not to punch the mirror. Could you do that?" She nodded in response. With that Draco dipped a piece of cloth into the potion. He let it soak for about 15 seconds before he pulled it out and started to apply it to her wounds.
'Oh My God Does This HURT' was the only thought that was going through her head at this moment. She was not even on the verge of crying. This was a surprise to Draco 'I thought she would have started blubbering like an idiot by now' he continued to clean the wounds on her arm. He continued to think about how he used to think of Hermione and how in a matter of hours he opinion of her had changed.
Hermione was also thinking of how her life had changed. Ron and Harry no long paid much attention to her unless they had a problem or need the answer to this and that. She was shocked by her own revelation. Harry and Ron only wanted her around when they wanted it. She was never a priority to them.
"I am so finished with them from now on." Said Hermione not realizing she had said it out loud.
"Who are you finished with Hermione?" Said Draco who had been pulled out of his thoughts by her last statement. He was almost done cleaning her wounds with the potion and was about to start to bandage them.
"Potter and Weasley. I am fed up with being the second wheel. Harry is to wrapped up in himself and Ron is just all to glad to do anything the wonder boy asks of him." Draco looked at her with a stunned expression on his face. Did he just hear her or did she just speak ill of her two best friends.
"I never thought I would see the day when Hermione Granger would insult Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley. I must say that I am royally shocked at you finally realizing who they really are."
"Their nothing like my new friends. I hate them with a passion now. They even laughed in my face when I asked to try-out for the Quidditch tem! They made me so mad, but I got my revenge on all of them." Said Hermione with an evil glint in her eyes as she recalled the wonderful prank she had just pulled earlier that day.
"I must admit that it was complete genius. I don't think I could have even thought of that. Okay all done." Said Draco as he finished tying the bandage to her arm.
"Thank you. This means a lot." Said Hermione looking into his eyes. No longer were they cold and icy but warm and welcoming. She felt like she could just melt into him right there. Draco was feeling the same things as she was. He couldn't believe that she would be this nice to talk to and even have enough sense to see what asses Potter and Weasel were. All of a sudden Hermione got the urge to want to kiss him. Explore every inch on him. Taste him and breathe him in. So without any second thought that is what she did.
Before Draco even knew what was happening Hermione had pulled him on the table so that he was on top of her. Draco went to say something but, he was cut off by her lips on his. It was a hungry kiss. She had her hand on the back of his neck and her lips were firm on his. A low moan escaped from Draco's throat. Hermione smiled at this. She Hermione Ganger had shocked Draco Malfoy to the point of no return. Or so she thought.
She parted her lips to say something but the moment she did his tongue darted into her mouth. It traced her lips and teeth before it went in search of her tongue. He found it with no problem. They danced in and out of their mouths. When coming up for air and meeting each other before diving back in. It was Hermione's turn to moan.
She then got an idea. She played with his tongue and forced it back into his mouth. She followed it in and continued to enjoy the torture she was about to give him. She then pulled hers back into her mouth daring him to follow. He did but at that moment she caught it between she lips. She then started to massage it. He new this meant something else to. After that they broke apart and looked at each other.
"Never knew you to be one to live outside the boundaries." Draco told her as he got off the table. She glared at him half-heartedly.
"Sorry about that." Hermione said as she blushed so red that it put the Weasley hair to shame. "I don't know what came over me it.."
"Don't apologize. I rather enjoyed it. But what does this mean?" Draco asked her as he watch her re-do her hair the best she could.
"I don't know. What do you want it to be?" She asked. She was somewhat afraid of the answer she might get. 'What if he hates me.' She thought 'What if he thinks I'm a bad kisser'. While all these thoughts were running through her head Draco had been looking at her.
'She looks so cute when she is thinking' then another thought came to mind. "Do you know what time it is Hermione?" she looked up at him. "I really have no idea." She told him. She then started to laugh. She had no idea why she was laughing but for some reason she couldn't stop. It was all rather funny. She went from beating the living shit out of him to making out with him in a few days.
"I think it is time for us to leave. Not that I don't want to continue what we started it's just I think both of us need our sleep before we start classes tomorrow." Draco said as they both started to head for the door. "You should be able to take the bandages off tomorrow. The wounds should have all healed by then."
"Thanks again for your help." Said Hermione. "Well that took long enough" Hermione jumped at the sound of another voice. "Ginny you scared me half to death." Hermione said. She was relieved to see it was her and not a teacher.
"We should head back to the Gryffindor tower unless you have better things to do." Ginny said eyeing the way her friend was very close to Malfoy and how he usually perfect hair was messed up in certain spots.
"You won't tell anyone will you Ginny?" Ginny was surprised to hear this come for Malfoy and not Hermione. "You know I would never do something like that to my Best Friend." Ginny said with a smile.
"Thank You and Good Night Hermione. We'll finish what we started tomorrow." Draco said and winked at her.
"Good Night Draco." Said Hermione Before planting a passionate kiss on his lips. Her hands went around his neck and his went to around her waist, pulling closer to deepen the kiss.
"Oh get a room." Ginny Said after a minute had passed and they still hadn't broken apart from each other.
"We might just do that." Said Draco. "Oh the never of you Draco Malfoy." Shrieked Hermione before she playfully punched him on the arm.
With that they went their different ways. When they got there both girls, Hermione a little more, expected to see Ron and Harry sitting there waiting for to find out where they had been and if they were alright. This just proved to Hermione what she had figured out earlier. She turned to Ginny. "Do you think that they didn't notice or that they didn't care?" asked Hermione to her friend who seemed to notice this as well.
"No offence to you Hermione but I think that they just didn't notice that you were gone. If they didn't need you for homework or something then I guess that they wouldn't notice." Said Ginny in a realistic tone.
"Know what Ginny I realized today that I don't need them and neither do you." Ginny looked at her friend with a twinkle in her eyes and nodded her head vigorously. "We have a new set of friends that care about us and want to be with us. Not just cause we're smart or have to deal with us cause are related to one of them." Said Hermione who now knew that she really didn't care what the Gryffindors thought of them anymore. "Lets agree that from now on we do what we want and we will be friends no matter what happens." Both the girls hugged and went to bed.
