A/N: Enjoy! Thank you to everyone who continues to review and support this story!

Disclaimer: I don't anything of the Harry Potter brand.
If anyone had ever told me that I was going to get drunk, sleep with Draco Malfoy of all people, and have to pretend to be his girlfriend so I could get my mother off my back, and then spill a ton of secrets to him when we're on the plane to my parents, I wouldn't dragged them to the nearest hospital and make them have a long mental exam.

Twice.

But nope this is the sixth time I've pinched myself, it is indeed real. I was barely hanging on to my mum's and Malfoy's conversation. All I saw was that my mum was loving him.

"So Draco, what do you do for a living?" she asked.

"I'm a lawyer." she raised an eyebrow.

"Your a wizard lawyer? How interesting and such a good profession..." she trailed off. "Hermione, I highly doubt the curtains are that much of interest." she suddenly said in my direction.

"What do you mean?" I asked with faked innocence.

"You seem to want to be elsewhere."

I forced a smile.

"I haven't had much sleep lately." then I realised my mistake in saying that when I saw my mum's face. Oh no...she really didn't think he and I have been... I saw Malfoy's face smirk. I wanted to slam my head against the table repeatly. I sighed. I really didn't want to explain my way out of this."I'm really tired, Ma-Draco, you" I corrected myself remembering I would have to say his real name in front of her. "can stay down here but I think I'm going to take a nap." I said with a fake yawn.

"Nonsense darling-" I cringed at darling as he smirked. "I'll help you get your stuff." he said as he started up the stairs.

"I like him Hermione," mum said. "Seems like a real gentleman." I resisted to roll my eyes and instead muttered.

"Sure, a real gentleman."

When I saw the sleeping arrangements, I nearly fainted.

"ONE BED?" I shierked and tried to control my anger.

"Guess your mum does want that baby." Malfoy commented. I turned to glare at him.

"Shut up. Now." I took a deep breath."I swear if you try ANYTHING, I will kill you and make it look like a painful accident." I threatened.

"I was intoxicated when I slept with you. I think that says enough of how much I don't want to seduce you." he shot back. I raised a eyebrow and lugged my suitcase onto the bed.

"I get the bed, you get the floor."

"Hell no." he answered.

"But Draky your a gentleman, mum said so." I said in my Pansy voice. "You'll survive." I added in my normal voice.

"I have to put my foot down on this Granger. You'll have to survive." I took out my raising anger on putting away my clothes. Throwing them in rapid speed into drawers.

"If you think I'm sharing my drawers OR closet with you, your sadly mistaken, this is my house and what I say goes." I explained.

"Actually I believe your mother's name would be on the house deed." I rolled my eyes.

"I am her daughter, blood relation. So get off it and take the fact that your sleeping on the floor like a man." I said, wanting nothing more than to strangle him. He rolled his eyes at me then shoved my suitcase off the bed, and hopped onto the left side of the bed.

"You can't possibly shove off this bed because I am too heavy. So now what are you going to do?"

Men are such babies!

My room actually did get quite cold at night and the floor would be unbearable even with a pile of blankets. I groaned.

"Fine you can sleep in the bed but I'm sleeping in the bed with you." I said and hopped on the bed.

"Now what are you going to do?"

The alarm clock went off with a deafing sound, that I was used to and it didn't bother me.

But it bothered Malfoy!

"AHHH!" he cried as he prompty rolled off the bed with a thump. He glared at me as he saw me still laughing.

"That was GREAT!" I exclaimed. I just couldn't stop laughing as I saw the Draco was tangled in the sheets and couldn't get out. "Thank you krama!" I shouted.

"Get me out Granger." he said.

"Nope. I have a quidditch match to get ready for, and my friends actually want to see me, not you. I don't see a reason for you to see any effort in your looks since most likely you'll be begging for us to leave."

"Red is going to be there, most likely." he answered.

"Her name is Ginny." I corrected. "And I'm going to be the one talking to her." I looked through my closet. "Besides I'm going somewhere before the game. You had two more hours before you could wake up." I added with a secret smile.

"I had two hours of sleep left!"

"You still have and hour and-" I peered at the clock "45 minutes." He rolled his eyes.

"Why do you have to get up so early? What is so important?" he asked. I froze.

"It's not your business." I answered coldly.

"Looks like I've hit a nerve." he said and I could tell he was smirking. "What's the big secret?"

"Wouldn't you like the know." I muttered and grabbed some jeans and a sweater. "If you can't get untangled from that sheet, then just call my mum. I have to go."

"GRANGER!" he called. I ignored him and went out the door.

I had better places to be.

I never did like hospitals. I really don't know why. But I try to make a trip here any chance I can. It's somewhat chilling at this time of day. No one is really around and visiting hours have just only begun. My heels send a shiver down my spine as they echo, alone. I reach the room I know very well.

219

I took a deep breath and turned the knob.

There was my father, sleeping but as I came in, he woke up. I tried to ignore the IVs and the machines that looked after his progress.

"Hello princess." he said.

"Hi daddy." I answered and sat down a chair right next to his bed. "How are you today?"

"Fine for now." he said. "They're trying some new medicine on me." he answered. I nodded.

"Any luck?" I asked.

"They haven't said." he answered. Which probably meant that it wasn't working and they didn't want him to know.

"I'll ask and see what I can find." I promised him. "Is the food up to your dental standards?" I teased.

"Worst, all sugar." he answered. I laughed.

"You'll be out of here before you know it." I said, hoping it would come true. We both knew there was a chance he wouldn't though. In a attempt to make the mood cheerful he asked.

"What have you been up to?"

"Nothing really, Harry's playing in a game in town this afternoon so I'm going to see that." I mentioned. "The publisher hasn't said anything about my book yet." I added.

"It'll get published." he assured. "You were always a good writer." I smiled. "Hows your mother?"

"She's fine, still pestering, but fine." he laughed.

"That's good." he said. "You know I love you." I was taken aback by this statement a bit. I didn't see it coming.

"I know." I paused. "And you know I love you too daddy."

"Ms. Granger?" a person said from the door. I turned to face him. It was Dr. Robson, my father's doctor. "Can I see you a moment?" I nodded and I turned to my dad. I hugged him and said "I'll be back soon, I promise." and I followed him out into the hall.

"Hey Hermione!" Ginny said cheerfully as I entered the stands.

"Hey." I said, emotionless.

"Hermione?" Ginny questioned.

"Where's my mum?" I asked.

"I'm right here dear." my mum said poping up. "Why do you-"

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked, knowing my eyes were getting misty. My mum's eyes went wide.

"Hermione-"

"How could you?"

"What are you talking about?" Ginny asked, a bit scared. Malfoy I could tell was listening in now.

"Ginny can I talk to you alone for a minute?" I asked, she nodded and we walked out of the stands, out of earshot.

"My father has cancer, you knew that right?" I said.

"Yes, of course." Ginny said. I stook a shaky breath, and felt myself tearing up. "What's wrong Hermione?"

"My mum knew and she didn't tell me..." I tried to form the words I dreaded saying.

"Hermione you knew your father had cancer. What are you talking about?" she asked.

"Unless something is done or a miracle happens..." Ginny nodded.

"My father has a month to live."

I hoped that surprised/shocked you! Sorry for the longness of the update but I have a ton of school work PLUS homecoming is this week. I'll try to get another chapter up when I can! Please review!
