Chapter 12: Recovery
It had been a week and a half since the horrable accident. Draco had woken up a week ago but Hermione hasn't, she is still in a coma.
Draco had a splitting headache. Not because of his head injury but because of all the nagging and questioning from a certain group of Slytherin's *cough...Pansy and friends...cough*.
"Why the hell did you save her?"
"Do you like her?"
"She's just a stupid mudblood."
"You should have let her fall."
The only good part about waking up was the fact that for a mere 10 minutes he was praised for "accidently" catching the Snitch while he grabbed Hermione.
The only person not bugging him about the whole thing was his best friend Blaise. Blaise had told Draco that he was proud of him for saving Hermione and left it at that.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Draco's POV
My head was killing me and Pansy and her "friends" weren't making it any better. All I wanted to do was eat my dinner in peace.
"I still dont know why you saved her Drakie," Pansy said.
"Shut up Pansy," Blaise snapped. I gave him a look of appreciation and Pansy stuck her tounge out at him.
I looked over at the Gryffindor table to see the same sight I had seen for the past week. Every single Gryffindor was misserable. None of them talked. They just moped around. It was like they had lost their Queen.
I was about to turn away when I made eye contact with young Weasely. She smiled at me which was weird but whatever. We broke eye contact when Madame Pompfrey walked infront of us.
End POV
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Albus come quickly. Miss Granger is awake," Pompfrey said in a hurried tone. Dumbledore followed her and Proffesor Mcgonagall went up to the Gryffindor's.
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasely and Miss Weasely please come with me," Mcgonagall said. The three followed her into the Entrance Hall. She led them up to the hospital. Dumbledore and Pompfrey were waiting for them outside the door.
"Proffesor's what is it?" Ginny asked in a shacky voice.
"Miss Granger is awake," Dumbledore said with a smile.
"Oh my gosh. Can we see her?" Ginny asked with a huge grin.
"You may. But I must warn you," Pompfrey started. "Miss Grangers face is still very beaten up. I'm sure when you first see her it will be quite a shock but please try and keep that shock hidden. You dont want to upset her."
The three nodded that they understood. Dumbledore and Mcgonagall where in seeing Hermione while Pompfrey had been talking to them.
When Dumbledore and Mcgonagall came out the three headed in, Ron first followed by Ginny then Harry.
When Ron walked in and saw Hermione he stopped abruptely causing Ginny and Harry to run into him. Ginny looked at Hermione and squeazed Harry's hand. She was biting her lip and fighting back tears.
Hermione looked over at them and tried to smile but couldn't, her lip was too swolen. Her eye was swolen shut and her nose was swolen also. The center of her forehead was swolen to the size on a small apple.
Ginny was sniffling now. Ron couldn't his tears. He ran over to Hermione's bed side and held her hand.
"We where so worried about you 'Mione," Ron said while crying uncontrolably. Harry and Ginny were now on the other side of Hermione's bed.
Hermione couldn't talk so she just rubbed Ron's hands to let him know that everything was going to be okay.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another week went by with Pompfrey finishing up healing Hermione's wounds. Ron, Harry and Ginny would visit her everyday along with the rest of her friends including Luna. There were even a few Ravenclaw's, Huffelpuff's and a certain Slytherin that came to visit her also.
It was Friday and Hermione was listening to Pompfrey's instructions before she could leave.
Hermione was really excited to go back to her own room. Tonight Ginny, Lavender and Parvati were going to come to Hermione's room. They were going to have a girls night.
Hermione walked into her common room with a huge smile. She looked around and her smile quickly disappeared, Draco was on the couch reading a book.
"Granger," He said, not even looking up from his book, as she walked past him.
"Malfoy," She said back as she went up the stairs.
She shut her door and sighed. She hurried and tidedy things up. She had 4 butterbeers and some desserts brought up to her room from the kitchens. She got out a bag of goodies from her trunk that her mother and father sent her as part of her "get well" package.
She undressed and put on a pair of red silk pajama pants and a black silk tanktop that showed her midriff. She brushed her hair out and left it down. She heard a knock at the portrait door.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Draco's POV
I was reading peacefully when there was a knock at the portrait door. 'Who the hell is it' I thought to myself.
I opened the door and saw 3 Gryffindor girls smiling brightly and wearing pajamas.
"What on earth do you want?" I asked folding my arms across my chest.
"We're here for Hermione," Young Weasely said.
I heard Grangers door open and turned around to look at her.
"Holy cow," I mumbeld to myself. She looks unbelievably sexy. Her wavy hair looked like silk in the rooms light and her silk top fit her chest perfectly and her pants hugged her hips. She stoop at the top of the bottom set of stairs.
I was snapped back to reality when she started to talk.
End POV
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Like oh my gosh. Are you girls ready for the night of your life?" Hermione said in a valley girl voice. The four girls looked at eachother than started to laugh.
Ginny, Parvati and Lavender ran past Draco, pushing him out of the way, and up to Hermione.
"Um Granger. What the hell are they doing here?" Draco asked.
"Why, spending the night of course," She replied in and innocent tone.
'Bloody hell. I'll never get any sleep tonight."
"Probably not," Hermione said matter of factly. The four girls ran up to Hermione's room giggling.
"Girls," Draco muttered to himself.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The four girls were having a great time.
"I have an idea you guys," Hermione piped up.
"What is it?" Parvati and Lavender said together.
"I think that the four of us should go to the ball stagg."
"OMG Hermione. We were thinking the same thing this morning," Ginny said.
"Great it's setteled," Parvati exclaimed.
"But what about your boyfriends, Lavender and Parvati?" Hermione asked.
"Dont worry about Dean and Seamus. They can live without us for one night," Lavender stated.
"Okay then," Hermione said with a smile which quickly faded into a frown when she looked at Ginny who was frowning. "Ginny whats wrong?"
"It's just that...well, I cant get Harry to notice me. I swear he just thinks that I'm one of the guys."
"I'm sorry about Harry, Ginny but join the club with the 'one of the guys' thing," Hermione said.
"I've got it!" Parvati piped up.
"Got what?" Ginny asked.
"We are going to give you a makeover Ginny."
"Thats perfect," Lavender squealed.
"Yeah. Then tomorrow when we meet the guys for our picnic lunch, you can show yourself off," Hermione exclaimed.
"You guys would really do that for me?"
"Yeah!" The three shouted.
"We'll wake up early to do it," Parvati stated.
"Allright," Ginny said happily.
The girls were talking excitedly about what they were going to do when there was a knock on the door.
"Granger, could you please keep it down a little?" Came Draco's voice.
"Whatever Malfoy," Hermione shouted back. They heard Draco head back down the stairs.
"So Miss Granger," Lavender started talking like a reporter. "How does it feel to know that Draco Malfoy, the Slytherin King, saved you life?" Everybody was laughing but Hermione.
"He what?" She said questioningly.
"He saved your life," Lavender repeated.
"WHAT!" Hermione yelled.
"Didn't Ron and Harry tell you?" Ginny asked shocked my Hermione's outburst.
"No! They told me that someone from the stands did a spell that stopped me in midair and then lowerd me to the ground." Hermione was confused.
"They said WHAT!?!" Ginny shouted.
"Hate to break it to you 'Mione nut they lied," Parvati stated.
"Well then, will somebody please tell me the truth."
The three girls told Hermione the true story. Once they were done they braced themselves for shouting but it never came. Hermione just sat there with her mouth open.
"He saved my life," She whisperd finally.
"Yup," Lavender said.
Hermione didn't know what to think about this information. She told the girls that she was tired and that they should get some sleep before tommarow. The three girls nodded in agreement and went to bed. Hermione layed awake in bed for a couple of hours thinking about what she just found out. She finally fell into a restless sleep.
Little did Hermione know that a certain Slytherin boy was having a restless nights sleep also.
It had been a week and a half since the horrable accident. Draco had woken up a week ago but Hermione hasn't, she is still in a coma.
Draco had a splitting headache. Not because of his head injury but because of all the nagging and questioning from a certain group of Slytherin's *cough...Pansy and friends...cough*.
