CHAPTER 13 – Pansy's Lost Something
hey, my dear readers! please review! R & R! P. S. I made up the nurse's name in the last chapter... "Mrs. Hubbley" So don't get mad if it's not the real name! Review! this chapter's a bit long! next chap is coming soon! Promise!
The sun shined through the windows of the hospital wing. It was a beautiful Saturday morning. Leaves fell from the trees as it was at the end of autumn. As the light hit her face, she suddenly woke up. She realized that she fell asleep in the hospital wing. She woke up seeing that she slept on the chair beside her lover's bed but leaned on it.
She saw him still sleeping or unconscious. She couldn't tell. There was a sound of a door opening and then closing. She couldn't see who it was since her eyes were blinded by the rays of the sun. But she suddenly knew who it was when she spoke, "Good morning, dearie."
Hermione stood up and saw that it was Mrs. Hubbley. She went up to her but still stared at Draco and said, "Thank you so much, Mrs. Hubbley. For your hospitality." She looked up to her and smiled. Hermione again took a stare at the sleeping Draco.
The nurse turned back and went to her desk to grab a mug of hot cocoa. She went back to Hermione who still looked at Draco with a concerned face. "Here." she held up the mug and said, "It'll keep your mind off him."
With a smile, Hermione took the mug from her hands. She took a sip as she sat back down to her chair. The nurse went back to her desk and looked at some documents.
As Hermione took another sip, Mrs. Hubbley said, "You know, hunny. He's going to be fine. I checked him again last night and he's only asleep. You don't need to worry."
Hermione only gave a smile and eventually replied, "Thank you so much. You don't know how much he means to me."
The nurse just chuckled and said, "Oh, believe me honey, I do."
After an hour of staring at Draco, Hermione decided to go back to her dormitory to take a shower. And also to get Draco clean robes since his were covered in blood.
As she rushed to the Heads dormitory, she had to pass the Great Hall. She swiftly passed by but still was caught by… Pansy Parkinson.
"Granger!" she said, running after her. Hermione just kept walking until she was pulled back by the worst sight she'd ever seen. "Granger!" she said again.
Hermione sighed and said, "What is it, Parkinson?"
"Where's Draco? Hmm?"
Hermione got to a straight face and said, "I- I don't know."
Pansy smirked and said, "Look, mudblood. I know you've got something with him. Now where is he!"
"I told you. I don't know!" she yelled and she turned back and ran to her dormitory.
She took a shower as soon as she got to the bathroom. Then she took robes from Draco's closet and rushed back to the hospital wing. When she got there, she was surprised to see Draco sitting up on the bed. She smiled and went up to him and kissed him on the cheek. "Here. I got these for you." she gave him the robes and kissed her back on the cheek.
"I'm gonna go and take a shower" he said and went to the bathroom.
It was pure silence when he left and she sat on his bed waiting. And the nurse was at the desk writing. But all of the quiet was broken when someone burst through the door.
It was ---- Pansy.
Hermione suddenly stood up in sight of her. Pansy only took a few glances and quickly yelled, "Where is he!" She went nearer to her and said, "I know you've got him in here. So don't hide him anywhere!"
Hermione never knew until now that she was afraid of Pansy. The nurse saw how unprepared Hermione looked so he helped her. "Excuse me? Uh—Miss? This is the hospital wing.You can't yell. It needs to be quiet."
Pansy turned back to her and said with narrowed eyes, "Where is he?"
Hermione got the courage to talk and said, "Who?" she looked around and wasn't afraid of her anymore, "Who are you looking for, Pansy?"
"You know bloody well who." she said with her piercing eyes that weren't really piercing for Hermione. "You're keeping him somewhere. I know you are! You—mudblood!"
Hermione looked at the bathroom door, smirked and said, "Pansy, honestly, I don't know who you are talking about. If you lost someone, then you'd be better off at the Lost and Found. If you didn't know this is the hospital wing. When you're out, just turn a right and go straight to the Lost and Found office…." Pansy had turned her back and headed for the door. "Oh, and Pansy? Yah, look for Mr. Filch. He's the old man with the cat."
Pansy just looked at her with an evil grin and said, "I'll find him. And when I do, I'm gonna get you back." She left quietly and just in time when Draco burst out the bathroom.
"Who was that?" he asked.
"Uh… Just nobody. How are you feeling?"
Hermione ran to him and hugged him tightly.
Draco got out of the hurting embrace. "Uh, Hermione? You're hurting my ribs."
"Oh, sorry." she said letting go of him. "How are you feeling?"
"A lot better. What day is it today?"
"It's Saturday. Why do you ask?"
"Oh, shit. This means it's just a week before the Ball?"
Hermione's jaw dropped. She had forgotten all about the Ball. She remembered that the Heads were in charge of decorations for the Ball. And they didn't do a single thing yet.
"Oh, damn. The Ball!" she screamed.
