Chapter 11.
As Draco was walking up towards the heads dorm a mob of people surrounding something came rushing down the stairs, Dumbledore in the middle, carrying something. Someone. Draco caught a glimpse. Hermione. She was lying unconscious in Dumbledore's arms.
"Hermione!" Draco shouted and ran after the crowd of people. As he caught up he pushed and shoved through the crowd until he reached Dumbledore.
"What's wrong with her!" He yelled, Dumbledore kept up his pace but looked at him.
"Ah Mr. Malfoy, I was wondering when you would arrive" he said and kept walking.
"Please Professor!" Draco pleaded, and Dumbledore nodded. Once they had gotten to the Hospital wing Dumbledore carried Hermione in and laid her on the closest bed. He then turned around to the crowd of students.
"You must all leave now! We must leave Madam Pomfrey in silence" he said shooing them out. Draco looked at Dumbledore pleadingly.
"You may stay Mr. Malfoy" he said. Draco silently thanked him and rushed to Hermione's side, and took her hand, he gasped, and they were as cold as ice. Hurriedly Draco felt for her pulse, and sighed with relief. It was there, barely.
Madam Pomfrey came bustling over to the bed and pushed Draco out of the way. Draco glanced at Dumbledore, who was over near the door, watching silently. Madam Pomfrey checked Hermione's forehead, eyes, ears, and finally went to her feet. With her wand she conjured up a large rubbery thing and put it at her feet, he went into her storeroom and brought out a flask full of a steaming substance. She poured it into the rubbery thing at Hermione's feet and closed its cap. Suddenly the rubbery thing turned yellow. Draco stood still filled with curiosity, but knew better than to doubt Madam Pomfrey's concoctions. Madam Pomfrey waved her wand and a bowl filled with hot water and a cloth sailed over to her and landed on the table beside the bed. Madam Pomfrey dipped the cloth into the water and then squeezed it a little, then laid it on Hermione's fore head.
Madam Pomfrey glanced at Draco and then at Dumbledore, who nodded. She sighed
"Alright Mr. Malfoy, you may stay here, but if you get in my way, you'll have to" she said. Draco nodded numbly, he pulled up a chair and sat down beside Hermione. Draco stayed there for the rest of the day every now and then, dipping the cloth back into the hot water and laying it on her forehead again. He held her hand, trying to warm it up. Eventually he fell asleep in his chair. Later that night he heard someone enter the Wing and he stood up quickly reaching for his wand.
"It' alright Mr. Malfoy" Dumbledore said as he walked forward. "How is Ms. Granger?" He asked,
"Still cold" Draco said "What's wrong with her?" he asked. Dumbledore sighed.
"Someone has poisoned Ms. Granger" Dumbledore said, Draco gasped
"But, is she-"
"Calm yourself Mr. Malfoy, fortunately the poison was one, which does not kill the victim, only creates the illusion that he or she is dead, of course if the poison was strong enough, she would have died, but fortune was on our side" Dumbledore said. You call this fortune? Draco thought.
"Isn't there a cure for it though?" He asked.
"Unfortunately no, we just have to wait until she wakes"
"How long will that take?"
"It depends Mr. Malfoy" Dumbledore said. "Mr. Malfoy, how long have you and Ms. Granger been …uh" Draco smirked despite the circumstances
"Just before term started sir" Draco said. Dumbledore nodded and smiled.
"It seems that you have created house unity after all" he said. Draco nodded.
"Sir, I" Draco didn't know how to say it, especially towards a teacher "I love her" he said finally I must have looked like a fool he thought but to his surprise Dumbledore wore a serious face.
"That is quite serious matter Mr. Malfoy" he said. "You'll have to understand that I cannot permit you to go eccentrically showing off your...ah...Affections" Dumbledore said.
"Of course Professor" Draco replied. Dumbledore nodded again.
"You should get some sleep Mr. Malfoy" He said
"I'd like to stay here with her, if that's alright with you Professor" Draco said.
"Alright Mr. Malfoy, I will come and check on you in the morning" Dumbledore said and left.
Draco sat down in the chair and once again took up Hermione's hand. I just said it. I love her. I truly love her he thought happily. He rested his head back on the chair and drifted into a peaceful sleep.
