I wake up in a hospital room, with Draco sitting beside me, asleep. I'm glad I'm back, and not somewhere in the unknown. Lost. As I gaze at Draco, I realize that he was the one that found me. I didn't find him, as much as he'd like to admit it. I might have saved him, but he found me. And I love being found.

The clock on the wall reads quarter to four. I don't know if it's a.m. or p.m. Now as I'm looking around the room, I notice bouquets of flowers. One of the closest I can reach, and I pick off the card.

'Get back to us soon, Hermy. Love, Harry.'

Get back to us soon? Was I in a coma? And if so, how long have I been in here for?

'Draco,' I whisper, and my voice is hoarse. It's hard to get out those two syllables, as though I haven't been talking for months. Months?

'Draco,' I try to say, but it still comes out as a whisper. Less hoarse, this is good.

God, that guy sure knows how to sleep. Mind you, he's probably been sitting there for -

The card from Harry is still in my hand, and Draco is within whipping distance. Grinning evilly, I snap the card and it hits him smack on the forehead. That worked.

'You're awake!' he says, and comes right next to me, taking my hand.

'So are you!' I laugh hoarsely, and he hands me a glass of water. 'How long have been here?'

'Only a week,' he says, and I can see the relief in his eyes.

'What day is it?'

'July fifth. Tony is at home sleeping.'

'What time is it?'

'Sometime in the early morning.'

'Does Tony –?'

'Know? Yes. The doctor told him everything, because you were in this coma, and I was –'

'I know,' I whisper, and a single tear rolls down his cheek. He wipes it away hurriedly and gives a shaky laugh.

'I shouldn't be crying,' he says, but it only bring on more tears.

'Come here,' I whisper, pulling him down on top of me, kissing him lightly.

'I missed you,' he whispers, and his voice is now shaking uncontrollably.

'Me too,' I whisper, wiping the tears off his face.

'We have to bring a doctor or a nurse in here to examine you, now that you're awake,' he says, sitting up and pressing a button on the wall.

This time I only nod, the emotions in me running wild.

The nurse rushes in, smiling at me.

'I'm glad to see you're awake!' she exclaims, beginning to check my vitals.

'So am I,' I say. 'When can I go home?'

Something of a frown crosses her face. 'Your doctor will have to come in later today to check you over and then he'll tell when it's safe to leave.'

I nod again. Damn. I want to go home now!

'I'm going to go call Harry and Ron, okay?' Draco asks.

'Yes! Hurry!' I laugh, and the nurse shakes her head at me.

'Did you want something to eat?' she asks, and now I can feel the hunger almost eating at my insides.

'Yes! Hurry!' I repeat, making her laugh out loud.

I lean back on the pillows as Draco comes back in, beaming.

'They're coming later today,' he tells me. 'Remus picked up Harry's phone, and he sounded ecstatic.'

'So am I,' I whisper, and he kisses me again.
