Chapter 6: Forty Points Left

Draco was on his third blueberry pancake when someone taps him on the shoulder. Draco looks up only to find Harry in front of him. "Do you need something?"

"Where's Mia?" Draco frowned. He looks on the Gryffindor table. He searched for the wavy brown hair of Hermione. Where is she? "I said to her earlier I would go ahead. Why? Maybe she's in the library."

Harry was panicking. "She wasn't in there, I already check. Can…can…can you check her on your tower? I'm feeling something's happened to her." Draco can see Harry's hands were shaking. Draco stands up and holds Harry's hands in front of the whole school, they were so bewildered as to why is Draco Malfoy archenemy of Harry Potter was holding Harry's hands He said in a reassuring voice, "Sure, just calm down and relax." He grabs his bag and exits the Great Hall.


"Hermione! Hermione! Please open the door!" It was his 5th time to knock on her bedroom door but there was no one answering it. Panic rules over his body. Harry's right. Something has happened to Hermione. He can't open the door, it was locked. He walks over to his bathroom door and opens it.

"Hermione?" he looks at the shower. None. He passed the shower and he saw Hermione on her bra and undies lying on the bathtub while the water was filling the bathtub, unconscious. He jumps immediately in the bathtub. Thankfully the water was half way through filing the bathtub. Draco reached for Hermione's forehead. It was hot. She has a fever. Draco carries Hermione to her bed; thankfully the bathroom door that leads to her room is unlocked. He placed Hermione on the bed. Realizing it was wet and Hermione was also wet. He cast some drying spell. He covers her with sheets. Thinking that she needed more, he approaches the closet to bring three more sheets. Placing the sheets on Hermione, he decided to get a basin to put some water on it and a towel. His mother said it would help decrease the fever.

Draco wipes the wet towel all over Hermione's face. She's beautiful. Hermione, I never thought you have such a lovely face. Draco smiles at the angelic face that was right before his eyes. Draco shook his head. Hey, you should win her friendship! Stop thinking that she's beautiful! You might fall for her, his mind was telling him.

After staying at Hermione's room for about twenty minutes now, he then realizes that Hermione loves butterflies. He thought that butterfly tattoo on Hermione's top right shoulder was just for fun. He was wrong, she really loves this creature. Everywhere he looks, he sees butterflies. It seems like he was in a butterfly haven.

When he was looking at Hermione's room, his eyes fell on the large picture that was place on the top of her headboard. It was a picture of Hermione and a familiar lady on a photo booth. They were smiling and were engage in an embrace. Draco can feel that they were so close to each other as if they know each other's secrets.

Maybe she's Hermione's best friend. They can't be sisters. First, Hermione's got hazel brown eyes while this lady has blue forget-me-nots eyes. Second, Hermione's wavy hair was brown while this lady's straight 'at the top but have wavy locks at the end' hair was pure black. Third, when it comes to personality, Hermione was friendly while this lady is kind of a snob. Surely, they can't be sisters.

Draco sat on the armchair that was facing the balcony that was beside the bed. Half an hour past, he fell asleep.


Flashback (Early in the morning...)

Hermione woke at six in the morning. She realizes that her bed plus herself is wet. When she sits up, she felt a shot of pain on her head. She brings her hands on her head. She was confused as to why she's hot, and her body is hot. I think its some kind of a morning sickness. Ill take a bath maybe it will be gone.

She walks to her bathroom and taps the faucet to fill the bathtub with water. She was looking on the water that was filling the bathtub, its kind of a blurry. She's confused as to why her eyesight is fading away. The moment she closes her eyes, she fell to the bathtub and fainted.

End of Flashback


Draco stirs a bit. He leans on the side of the armchair. Why am I on an armchair? He opens his eyes. Looking at the place, he became conscious that he was at Hermione's room. Why am I here? Remembering the events before he fell asleep, he stood to check upon Hermione who was still sleeping peacefully.

He touches her neck and forehead. Him taking care of Hermione, has paid off. He looks at the clock on the bedside table. "SHIT!" It was 3:45. He was late on his Potion class. He runs to the common room to pick up his bag and dash away to the dungeon.


"Pass your assignments to the person in front of you." Professor Snape hissed on his students. It seems that his temper is three times as usual. As soon as the assignments were settled in, there was a loud bang on the door. Draco stumbles inside the classroom.

"Nice to see you join my class, Mr. Malfoy." Draco catches some breath. "I can explain, Sir."


"Nine months!" Jadzia ask her request to her manager, Ayden, while they were at the 'The Plaza' Hotel in New York. "Zia, have you gone insane? In the fashion industry, nine months break for models is BREAKING YOUR CAREER!" Jadzia kneels in front of her and gave her manager her famous puppy-eyes look. "Oh, don't look at me like that, Zia. That's too long. Don't you love being famous? You get all you wanted. Everything for you is free. For the past five years, you work hard to get where you are right now."

"But I will be back! I promise you. I will." Ayden wants to give Zia what she wants but it's too risky. She can't leave now. She has so many things to do and achieve. "Zia, if you live now and you'll come back after nine months. I can say to you, your career will be gone. You can't leave now. In a month's time, you would be called the 'TOP MODEL' in the whole world. Don't you want that?"

"Dee, I always wanted that title. But, I need a break. My sister needs me. It's been five years, since we've been together. Please, let me leave." Tears are starting to fall from her eyes.

Ayden looks at her with confusion as to whether shell let her go or not. "Do you really want to have a break?" Zia nod with a smile. "Ok. You can leave." Zia jumps for joy. She can't believe Ayden was permitting her to leave. "But, you would leave on Sunday…night. And you will keep your promise."

"Yes. I will." She hugs her beloved manager and plant kisses on her face. "Stop it." Ayden chuckles. "Dee, you're the best manager in the whole world. Thank you so much. You don't know how happy I am." Zia was exited to see again the people she loved the most. Her Dad, Hermione, Jahiem and especially, Sev. "You're my baby. Everything my baby wants she'll have it."


Draco opens the bathroom door that would lead to Hermione's room. He enters her bedroom and saw Hermione sitting on her bed looking at the balcony. He can sense Hermione has just woken up. "Hermione…" She looks at him and smiles. "Thanks…" Draco approached her and sat beside her. "You're welcome. So are you feeling alright now?"

Hermione notice that she was still wearing her bra and undies but she didn't care if Draco sees it. "Yeah. Why are you here?" Draco forgets why he's here so he goes again to his bedroom to pick something. He hands Hermione his notebook. "What's this?" She opens it and notice it's a lecture notebook for Potions. "Thanks. You have about 40 points left." Draco was confused. What is she talking about? Forty points? She stands up and leaves Draco in her room to go to the bathroom to take a bath.
