Disclaimer: Nope, I do not own Harry Potter and the crew in the books. Would I be writing this if I had? So just simply said, no suing can be done because I am not plagiarizing.
This means emphasis on these words.
Thoughts.
Last Time:
"This is Draco Malfoy," Albus says, motioning to Draco, "And the young woman on his back is Hermione Granger. Now, this is where I take my leave. Please, fill them in Anna." He places Hermione's crutches against the wall and leaves.
Anna curtsies and then straightens. "Choose a password," Anna says.
Hemrione looks at Draco, who is looking at the portrait. She sighs, "How about Icy Wonderland?"
Draco turns his head trying to look at Hermione. When he can't, he settles for shrugging. He nods and looks back to Anna. "Icy Wonderland." The portrait opens and the two enter their home for the next year.
Now, on with the story!
Draco goes to the couch and sets Hermione down on the cushions. He turns around and notices a bay window. He abandons Hermione at the couch and wanders over to it.
He leans against the cool glass and closes his eyes, trying to rid himself of a light and warm feeling. Home sweet home.
Draco smiles to himself and sighs. He opens his eyes and looks down. The view from the window covers down to the lake and as far as the gates of the school. He looks over to the pitch with its eight colors (Two for each house). He sees the silver glittering in the moonlight. Silver? Is it that bright?
Hermione looks at the bare common room and sighs. "I smell House unity, " She says, "I vote that we decorate tomorrow." Draco nods from his spot.
Hermione stands with little difficulty and grabs her crutches that Draco grabbed from the wall. She places them under her arms and hobbles over to the stairs as Draco turns around.
Draco moves to the stairway and takes hold of her arm so she could lean into his grip. Hermione turns around and glares at him.
"I can help myself!" Hermione exclaims, "I am not this helpless little girl who is only so tall and can't make it up the stairs without her daddy. I can do this!"
Draco backs off and nods slightly, "Okay, sorry, didn't mean to offend you," He replies, holding his arms up in surrender, "Just trying to help."
Hermione turns on the step, her look softening. "Sorry," She mutters and hobbles up the steps. She goes to the closest door and opens it. She shuts it when she realizes it's the bathroom. She goes to the next door and opens it. A bare room with a bed, dresser, bookcase, desk, and a nightstand that held a lamp..
She shuts her door and goes to sit on bed. She turns on the lamp and conjures up dark blue sheets, silver curtains for her window, deep blue doilies for her night stand, three rather large and fluffy pillows, many dark blue and sliver plush pillows, and a deep blue feather down comforter and a dark blue comforter with silver patterns.
Hermione sighs and sits on her bed. She sets her crutches across her lap and looks at the pile of bed supplies she conjured. She stands up after moving her crutches and hobbles back to her door and opens it.
Hermione hobbles towards the top of the stairs and looks down hoping Draco was still in the common room. She sighs and walks over to the door at the opposite end of the hallway when she doesn't see him and knocks.
Draco, who is making his own bed to sleep on, turns at the sound of the knock. He goes to the door, clad in his white beater and black silky pajama pants, and opens the door a sliver. When he sees Hermione, he opens the door wider.
"What?" Draco replies at the silence.
Hermione looks down to the floor and sighs. "I can't remember the spell to make a bed. I can't get around the bed to make it. Will you do it for me?" Hermione asks.
Draco nods and follows Hermione back to her room. He pulls out the chair at the desk for Hermione to sit on and goes about laying the feather down-comforter over the mattress. Draco grabs the bottom sheet and shakes it out a bit before laying it over the down-comforter and tucks each end around the corners of the mattress.
Hermione watches as Draco's broad, muscular shoulders clench and tighten with each movement. When he smoothes the sheet over her thoughts turn. It'd be nice to have arms like those around me, she thinks. She sighs inaudibly and sits down in the chair and lays her crutches at the side.
Draco takes the last sheet and spreads it over the mattress and tucks it in at the end of the mattress. He grabs the comforter and lays it carefully over the rest of the coverings and tucks it in like he did with the sheet before it. "Want your curtains hung up. too, while I am here?" Draco asks turning towards Hermione.
Hermione nods, "Yes please. On both, my bed and the window, please." she replies.
Draco nods and notices Hermione's wand on the nightstand. He grabs it and taps the curtains for her bed and they automatically hang themselves around the bed. He taps a smaller set and they hang themselves on the window near Hermione's bookshelf and desk. "There you go," He says after a moment of looking at his work.
"Thanks. Still can't believe I forgot a spell to do this," Hermione mutters looking every where but his face.
"Hey, it's okay, you're not inclined to be Miss Perfect, Hermione," Draco says going to the doorway, "See you in the morning." With the last word, he walks out and back to his room after shutting Hermione's door.
Hermione sighs and grabs her crutches from the ground and hobbles over to her bed. She opens her trunk and takes out a pair of black cotton shorts with 'Skater' written in pink, on the butt, and a white beater and lays them out on the bed.
Hermione slowly peels away the velcro on her brace to take it off. She slowly slides it down her pant leg and sighs when it comes off. Hermione shuts her trunk and lays the brace over it and slowly inches her trackies off so she sits on her bed in her knickers. She pulls her shorts over her bad knee and then over her good one and sighs.
The bruising still covered a good portion of her knee. Hermione sighs again and pulls off her shirt and bra and pulls on her beater. She takes the brace off her trunk and reopens her trunk. She pulls out a nightly brace to keep her knee from bending.
She pulls the smaller brace on and shuts her trunk and sets the brace on it again. She pushes her trackies off the bed onto the floor along with her shirt and bra and the doilies for her stand and gets under the blankets. She puts two of the big pillows side-by-side for her to sleep on and puts the third one under her knee along with two of the plush ones and lets the others go wherever while she slept. She slowly closes her eyes and drifts into a sleep.
Meanwhile...
Draco sighs in his room, still wide awake. His alarm clock, which glows green and gives off the time with some comments here and there, says 1:41 AM, and also flashes 'You should be asleep, you have classes'. He sighs and turns his lamp off and leans into his pillow. As he stares at the ceiling he thinks about his vacation plans, which were to go to Hermione's home. Hopefully things will go smoothly. Don't need her getting pissed off at Blaise and me for helping, he thinks as he slowly drifts off to sleep.
Hey guys, sorry for the long period of no updating. I deserve a whipping. I had a rather bad case of writer's block. I mean, I had it all planned out but what I had didn't seem good enough so, today I finally had ambition to finish what I had already started. So here it is, enjoy and review.
Oh and thanks to:
AmberLee1: Thanks, the encouragement keeps me going.
Caligirl-HPLVR:Thanks. Here it is and you're in my review corner!
Ciao
