Something Develops
a/n: yeah, I own nothing. Well actually, my paper supply has been replentished and I recieved a new pencil to write with (glory to the gods!)
Oliver awoke with a start when Madame Pomphery bustled into the hospital wing. He looked at Kyle who had fallen asleep with the book folded across her lap. A soft purr escaped from her throat. 'Well, that explains something's' he thought, looking at the veela girl. He stood up quietly and walked toward Madame Pomphery. "Nothing yet," he yawned.
"Oh no, I don't expect him out of that for another day yet, seeing as he ever does come out," she whispered. The words felt cold on Oliver's ears.
"He will come out - won't he?" he hoarsely questioned.
"Oh darling," she shook her head. "There's no way to tell until it happens," she told him.
His heart fell, right now he didn't care if Draco hated him, he wanted Draco to be alright. He took a deep breath and walked over to Draco's bed. It was a Hogsmead weekend and he figured that half the school was cleared out by now. He walked up to Kyle an brushed his hand across her cheek.
Her eyes opened slowly. Blinking, she looked at him then fear crossed her face. "Did I fall asleep?" she was quickly sitting up, the book fell to the ground. "No, I fell asleep," she buried her head in her hands, ashamed.
At that moment Professor Snape walked in. "Whoa, Miss LePorvre," he went to her side.
"I fell asleep, I was to read to him, I was reading and I fell asleep," she repeated.
He smiled, Oliver had never seen Professor Snape smile. Professor Snape lifted her head and looked at her tear streaked face. "Kyle," he said softly. "I'm sure he doesn't mind," he told her.
"But I fell asleep," she sniffed.
He smiled again. "Why don't you make it up by going with Mr. Wood to get us some breakfast from the cafeteria," he wiped a tear from her eye.
She smiled back at him and stood nodding her head. Professor Snape picked up the book and placed it back on the bed as they walked out.
"I can't help but ask you, Kyle, but I can clearly see you're not a pure wizard," Oliver looked at her.
"Oui, my father was half veela and my mother full. I am more veela than anything else," she smiled.
"I guessed right," he said to himself. "You're very committed, I'm glad Draco loves someone so wonderful," he sighed.
"Oui, I suppose, but be not fooled, he does not love me," she smiled.
"What?" he looked at her confused.
"He does not love me, oui, we are great friends, mais he does not love," she looked at him. "He has been through a great deal, but there are feelings in him that pain and hate cannot destroy," she finished as they reached the cafeteria.
He was about to say something wen Hermione walked up to them. "Oliver, where were you last night? Ron said you never came back-" she saw Kyle. "What's she doing here?" "I was in the hospital wing - this is Kyle LePorvre, she's an exchange student from Beaboux," he replied.
"Aren't you Draco's girlfriend?" she asked, slightly confused.
"Oui," Kyle stepped forward and kissed either side of her cheeks "It is a pleasure, may I ask your name?" she questioned.
"Hermione," she said, dazed. "Hermione Granger." "Kyle, why don't you go see Professor Dumbledore about getting some of that food?" he smiled. She happily said 'oui' and walked away.
"What are you doing?" Hermione looked at him, still confused.
"We stayed with Draco last night, he's in a coma," he replied. She simply stared at him. "She's a really great person, Hermione, give her a chance, I'm glad that she's with Draco, he deserves nothing less than the best," he smiled.
"Oliver," the thick french accent rang. "I have gotten food for everyone, shall we return now?" Kyle's amber (a/n: I had changed them in the last one to blue, but I think amber works better) eyes sparkled.
"Yes, I'll catch up in a second," he said. "Why aren't you at Hogsmead?" he asked Hermione.
"I had some studying to do," she replied. "Oliver," she stopped him. "You do know that he won't love you anymore than he did before when he comes out? What are you holding on to?" she questioned.
He looked at her. "I want to see him happy and healthy, Hermione, I don't care whether I'm in the picture or not," came the reply.
Hermione smiled as she watched him walk away, finally he was healing.
Oliver caught up with Kyle and waved his wand. The tray began to float. "Here, let me help," he made the tray follow them. "Kyle," he broke the silence. "You said there were feelings - Draco had feelings about what?" he questioned.
"Oliver, if you do not know then perhaps you are not as smart as I believed you to be," she replied.
Oliver looked at her as they reached the doors. 'What was she implying?' he thought as he set the tray down on a table.
"Ahh, tea, how did you know I proffered tea?" Professor Snape took the cup of tea off the tray.
"Your teeth are far too white for you to be a coffee drinker," she smiled.
Professor Snape smiled again, the third time Oliver had ever seen him smile - each time was at Kyle. Oliver tried to ignore it but he believed he briefly saw Kyle's eyes meet with Professor Snape's and her cheeks flush slightly.
