A/N: yes yes, I know it took forever for me to update again, and you are going to be even angrier with me when you read this chap, becuase it's only about 600 words. I've been having some family issues lately, andI had to stay with my dad for a month and he doesn't have a computer (prehistoric, I know) so I couldn't write. Then when I did get home, I was having major writer's block. But now I started writing again and I thought you guys would like an update more than a long chap so here ya go, but first some shout outs.

With no further ado, here is chapter 6 of Beyond Expecations entitled Rescue.

Chapter 6 – Rescue

Hermione kept trying to get Draco awake again, but nothing worked.

Then, about 10 minutes after Ginny left, Draco opened his eyes and looked into Hermione's.

"Hermione," he whispered, and his body went limp and his breathing stopped.

"Draco?" Hermione whispered, "Draco!"

Hermione stood and shook his limp body, but still nothing happened.

Hermione stood there, looking at him, racking her brain and trying to think of something she could do. Just when she thought all hope was lost, Dumbledore and Ginny came through the fireplace from Dumbledore's office.

Dumbledore went straight to Draco, "Hermione, what happened here?"

With no hesitation, Hermione said, "He took a potion called Lucifer's Draft. I got the antidote from Madam Pomfrey, and I gave him some, but he didn't seem to respond to it."

While Dumbledore and Hermione were talking, Ginny slipped over to the passage door and closed it quietly. She didn't think Dumbledore knew about it and she doubted whether Hermione wanted him to. No-one noticed anything.

"How much of the antidote did you give him? How long ago was it when he took the potion and when you gave him the antidote?" Dumbledore asked. He was unusually calm.

"I gave him the whole bottle. I gave him the antidote about 15 minutes or so ago, and I dunno how long ago he took the potion. I would have to guess about an hour, maybe," Hermione wrung her hands to keep them from shaking.

"Thank you."

Dumbledore took out his wand and put it to Draco's side. Suddenly, Draco jumped, as if being shocked by the 'paddles' in a Muggle hospital. Slowly Draco's heartbeat started again. With his eyes still shut, Draco started gasping for air.

Dumbledore stood over Draco's body and lifted his eyelids and saw that his eyes were rolled up inside his head. He muttered something Hermione and Ginny couldn't hear. Suddenly, Draco lurched forward and vomited. Hermione and Ginny backed away quickly, disgusted.

"Whah happened?" Draco asked, his speech slurred a little.

"Lie down, Mr. Malfoy and I will answer your questions after you answer mine," Dumbledore said, strictly.

Draco lied down and looked around. He tensed when he saw Ginny.

"Mr. Malfoy, could you tell me why you took the potion Lucifer's Draft?" Dumbledore asked, calmly.

Draco looked again at Hermione, remembering why he had done it. He remembered fighting with himself for liking her. Right there, he vowed not to talk to Hermione again, or at least until he had figured things out himself. He would deal with his fath… Lucius later.

"Professor, could I possibly talk to you without two little Gryffindor girls listening?" Draco asked.

Hermione scoffed, Little Gryffindor girls?

"That's quite alright," Dumbledore said, he turned to Hermione and Ginny, "Would you two please go and wait in my office? I will be with you in a moment."

"Yes, sir." They followed Dumbledore to the fireplace where he threw some floo powder into the hearth and shouted 'Albus Dumbledore's office'. The flames turned bright green, illuminating the room.

Hermione stepped into the hearth and tucked her elbows in and soon she felt herself spinning away from Draco's room. She landed in Dumbledore's office with a thud. Ginny soon followed. They took a seat across from Dumbledore's desk, and didn't talk.

They just waited.

a/n: sorry it was so short. but i will have another chapter up here asap, maybe even today. but i got a few questions for you:

1. Am I moving too fast w/ Draco and Hermione being friends?

2. What do you think of Ginny and Blaise as a couple? Harry and Luna?

3. Name something you think could be better or just ideas you have about the fic, i'm open for anything.

So, please review and i hope to have the next chap up, ASAP.

love you all!
