A/N: BIG LONG A/N at the end.very long, very long, but if you've reviewed since Chapter 13, you should be in there!

Hermione awoke the next morning to someone shaking her shoulders. She groggily opened her eyes, and saw Sirius.

"Morning, Hermione."

"Morning, Sirius." It took Hermione a moment to realize that Sirius, Narcissa, Snape, and Mrs. Weasley were all there. And she was still holding Draco's hand. She put his hand back on the bed, and stood up, grateful that no one made a comment to her about it. "What time is it?"

"It's quarter to ten, Miss Granger." Snape replied.

"Oh! Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

"We wanted you to get as much sleep as possible, dear," Narcissa replied. "Do you want to get changed?"

"Oh, well, I could do with another shirt, I'm a bit chilly."

"Oh, here, dear, the house elves brought up this orange shirt of Draco's, you can put this on, if that's all right."

"Sure, thanks." Hermione put the shirt on, as Mrs. Weasley handed her a large stack of toast and some juice with a look that made Hermione sure that she had to eat.

Hermione finished, and stood up and looked at Snape. "Whenever you're ready."

Snape nodded, and went to the fire to summon Dumbledore.

As soon as the Headmaster arrived, Snape walked over to a large black valise on the chair. He pulled out a vial of liquid that was swirling jet black and silver. He walked back to Draco.

"Are we all ready?" He looked around to room. Everyone nodded their heads.

Snape tipped the liquid into Draco's mouth, and directed a simple swallowing charm at Draco.

He looked up at Hermione, "Miss Granger?"

Hermione walked over to the bed, and drew her wand. They both placed their wand on either of Draco's temples. Snape nodded at Hermione to begin.

"Ennervatio Anteinscribio Vivio Draconis Leves et Conocis Vivos. Ennervatio Anteinscribio Vivio Draconis Leves et Conocis Vivos. Ennervatio Anteinscribio Vivio Draconis Leves et Conocis Vivos."

They slowly withdrew their wands. Everyone waited.











And waited.









They stood in silence for a half hour. Snape was the first to speak.

"This really doesn't mean anything. I didn't think it would be an immediate effect."

Narcissa gulped and looked up, "Sev, I can't- I need to know how long is-is too long."

"I'd say if he is not up within twenty-four hours, then, the potion and spell have not worked."

"TWENTY-BLOODY-FUCKING-FOUR HOURS, SEV?? I don't think I can very well handle that!"

"Mum, did you just say fuck?"

They turned and gasped, Draco's eyes were half-open, and he, true to form, was smirking at them.

Narcissa broke down in tears, and flung herself over her son's body. "Oh, my baby! I thought you were- I didn't think you could- Oh, Draco, don't you ever scare me like that again. Oh, my baby, I'm so happy, I can't believe- I didn't even think- I never- I can't believe it worked! Oh my God, Draco, honey, oh I love you, please don't scare me like that again!"

"Mum, get off-" he broke off, looking down at his crying mother. He hugged her tightly. "I'm so glad you're here, mum."

Hermione felt completely drained, but completely happy.

"Well," Dumbledore said, "What say we leave Mister Malfoy and his mother alone? I'll send up Lily, Narcissa."

Hermione was leaving, and she saw Draco saying something to his mother.

"Oh, wait!" Narcissa said. "I'll go get Lily, Hermione why don't you stay here and watch Draco for me for a few minutes."

"Oh, of course, Mrs. Malfoy," Hermione responded, confused.

The adults filed out, and Hermione sat down on the bed across from Draco.

"So..." he began.

Hermione looked at him expectantly.

Draco sighed, "Thanks, Hermione, I'm glad it was you."

Hermione smiled at him, "Well, life wouldn't be fun with no one to compete with."

They heard Narcissa and Lily approaching. "Mine-ee!" Lily ran to Hermione and sat on her lap. "I won at hide and seek, Won and Ginny and Hawwy couldn't even find me!"

Hermione laughed, "Look, Lil, Draco is awake!"

Lily looked disinterestedly at her brother, "Oh, well, he doesn't play hide and seek with me."

Hermione stifled another laugh.

"Lily, how about we go get that picture you drew for Draco?"

"OK, mama." Lily hopped off Hermione's lap, and followed her mother in to another room.

"Well, I guess I'll go now, Draco. You better get your arse better soon, we have a presentation to work on."

"Sounds good. I'll see you soon."

Hermione got up to leave.

"Well, jeez, Granger, don't I even get a hug?"

Hermione bent down, and hugged Draco, trying not to cry. She straightened up, and sniffled a bit, and gave him a good bye smile.

"Oh, don't cry, I hate it when girls cry. And, um, I won't tell Harry that you kissed me."

Hermione turned around, shocked, "How did you-???"

Draco licked his lips, "That vanilla lipgloss you always wear, dead giveaway."

Hermione blushed, "Well, Harry and I aren't together anymore anyway. Good bye, Draco."

Hermione walked away, and Draco heard the door click shut. Draco sighed and flopped his head back on the pillow. Narcissa stuck her head around the curtain.

"Is she gone?"

"Yeah mum. Come on over. Where's my Lils?"

"Hiiiii Dwaco! Oh, did Mine-ee leave?"

"Yeah, sorry Lils, you'll just have to settle for me."

"Oh," she said a tad dejectedly, "Hewmine-ee is my new fwiend. She played with me and wead me books while you wewe taking a nap."

"Yeah, Lils, she's my new friend, too."

Over his head, his mother looked down at her son, and gave a knowing smile.



A/N: OK, that chapter is kinda short, so I set that off by this very long a/n. I hope Draco's revival was good enough for you! Now I can get down to, ahem, business, if you know what I mean. But, I have to say, no more D/Hr snogging for a few more chapters! Sexual tension is the key, people! Also, I may or may not take it into consideration, but if anyone has preferences on who Hwermione should take to the Yule Ball, I'd like to see what you think, but I'm pretty sure I already know how that will pan itself out. OK, on to my reviewers!

~Natasha~ OK, here's some responses to your comments (I love the name Natasha, btw): In this story, they are 17/18 years old, now, I don't know ANY people that age that don't swear! I myself am 18, and I swear quite frequently. I think since the only encounters we've had with them REALLY as of yet (as in, in the books) have been at ages 11-14, they obviously would not be swearing, though I seem to recall Ron saying 'damn' once. 2nd- Narcissa's and Hermione's positions WILL turn out differently, remember Narcissa wasted 20 years of her life being w/ a guy she hated! 3rd- As you'll see in later chapters, I stated writing a synopsis of previous happenings. But, I don't do them very indepth just because Lily Malfoy is my only new character. 4th- As far as me picking up at the beginning of chapters saying "She" instead of "Hermione" well, I do this because I sit and write the chapters in big groups, theoretically this could just have a few extremely large chapters, so I'd just think that if some one was sitting reading them straight through, they'd know who I was referring to, but I try to be good about it. 5th- as far as changing the beginning of Chapter 3, that's not gonna happen. I try to cut out all irrelevant stuff that doesn't serve as a segue in to something more important. 6th- I know Hermione is not referred to as Mione, BUT considering it's their 7th year, and her name is 4 syllables long, I'd assume that they would have given her a nickname by then. That is the one I like the most, and I decided to use a bit of creative license. I'm sorry you don't like it, but it's staying that way! ~Bunny~ Awwww!! Thanks! ~Alanna Roseguard~ Don't worry about it! They'll be, um, 'acting' soon enough! Well, not THAT soon, we know how long-winded I am! ~Chrissy~ Thankyou thankyou thankyou!

P-poor st- stuttering P-professor Quirrell, oh dear, I've read HP too many times.. ~Hermione13~ LOL, you kill me!! Thanks so much for your enthusiastic reviews, always give me a smile!! And, I don't think I'll be writing chapters that number in exponents of ten, so, you won't have to wait THAT long! ~no need to know (whoever you are lol)~ LOL, I just about wet myself when I read that!! I haven't decided who will have Snapes "knickers in a twist" as you said, LOL, that was so funny ~ShelleBelle~ I'm kind of a sap, I think if I hadn't written this, and I read that letter form Draco, I prolly woulda cried. Now, that's not tooting my own horn, I will cry at anything sad! ~carrie~ Sorry about the cliffies!! It's just way more fun that way! ~Avalon~ Sorry, no slash in this one, lol, Narcissa was a bit lonely, and she deserves a decent bloke! ~hemlock~ glad you liked the nice breakup! ~LilyIsabel~ Don't worry I enjoy long reviews, and I do not think you're scary or anything, lol. ~Lastly, everyone's fave R/Hr Shipper, Squin~ Um, I really have nothing to say prolly b/c I email you so freaking much, my scary twin buddy!
