CHAPTER 9
The next morning, Hermione, as promised, visited Draco in St. Mungo's.
"Good Morning, Draco!" she said as she walked in with a muffin basket. She offered him some and set it down. ".. How are you feeling?"
"...I'm all right. Jackson says I could leave tomorrow."
"So soon? I mean, shouldn't they keep you here, until, you know, that they're absolutely positive about the experiment?"
"Do you not want me to leave or something?"
"N-- Of course I do!"
"Then why all the questions?"
"I--"
Out of nowhere, Healers Paper, Jackson, and Weith arrived at Draco's bed side.
"Mornin', Draco. How're you feeling? Any dizziness?" started Jackson.
"Nausea? Painful swelling of any kind?" questioned Paper.
"Anything at all?" finished Weith.
"No, nothing at all! Now would you please stop asking dumb questions?!"
"Just one more.. any painful urin--"
"NO!! That's enough! Would you three please stop analyzing me?! I'm not a gerbil!!" Draco interrupted.
"But your color..."
"Natural color, Healer Weith," whispered Hermione.
"I see..."
"So Draco tells me that he could go back to Hogwarts tomorrow?"
"What? You think I'm lying??"
"No, of course not.."
"Yes, we believe it is possible for Mr. Malfoy to be released, as long as he comes in every week for a check up."
"Why??! I'm FINE!!!"
"It is because we used an experimental potion on you and there may be some side effects yet to be discovered. So far there hasn't been any that we have seen. We need to keep you well-examined in order to use the potion for future references."
Draco was outraged. "I do not appreciate being treated like a lab rat, Healers!!" he said through clenched teeth.
"I'm sorry, WE'RE sorry but Miss Granger -"
"Hermione," interrupted Hermione.
"- Hermione asked this experiment to be used on you and now you will need to be observed like we informed you earlier, for furture purposes."
Draco shot an angered look at Hermione. "Fine. Whatever. Just get her," he nudged a finger toward Hermione, "away from me."
Hermione was shocked.. as were the three healers. "Mr. Malfoy -- you are being out-of-line here! Her--"
"Hermione was stubborn like always and just wanted me back. If she let me take my natural course, I would have waken up without any help from your damn potion!!" he spat.
It was Paper's turn to be outraged. "What she did, could have saved your ungrateful life!!"
Hermione was shedding silent tears as she looked at the scene before her. How could Draco act like this?
"DON'T YOU WORRY, MALFOY!!! I'LL STAY FAR AWAY!!" she stormed out of the room.
"HERMIONE!!" Draco chased after her, caught up, and spun her around to face him.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?!?!" she roared.
"Take this ridiculous thing away from me!!" Draco dropped, in her hand, his ring that she had given him, with her initials on it. She had one of his and it was on her finger. They never took it offf. Before now.
Hermione was angered more than ever. She was took off, down the corridor, but before she left, she threw Draco's ring and her's in the dustbins with out a backwards glance.
Draco watched her depart. She threw away their rings! He didn't mean anything he had said to her. He quickly ran to the bins and started digging around and throwing things out of his way so he could find those two rings. AH HA! Finally! He found -- he looked at the size of it and immediately knew it was Hermione's. Okay.. where's mine? he thought. He threw some garbage over his head and to the side making a mess in the hall. he found i, fished it out, preformed a cleaning charm and put it back on his finger and pocketed the other. I'm sorry Hermione, but it's for your own good.
