"HERMIONE! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!" screamed an angry father, red in the face at the sight of seeing a boy sleeping on his couch.

XxXx

The girls jumped up, still half asleep, startled at the sound of Hermione's father. Hermione blushed and looked from her father to the couch where Draco was sleeping.

"Dad. You're home early. Look. This isn't what it looks like. I swear." She tried to explain.

"Oh! Well then what is it? Please explain. I would love to know what my 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER was doing with a BOY sleeping over! Were there more boys or was he the only one! OH MY GOD! MY DAUGHTER WAS INVLOVED IN A GANG BANG!!!! THAT'S IT YOUNG LADY! YOU ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED HOME ALONE OR SEE THESE TWO GIRLS! GO TO YOUR ROOM NOW!" her father yelled.

"DAD! THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED!! IF YOU WOULD JUST SHUT UP FOR ONE SECOND I WOULD TELL YOU! GOD!" she yelled back. Her father's jaw dropped to the floor at the way his little girl had just spoken to him.

"Good. Now this is what happened…" and she explained what had happened the previous night. Her father nodded, afterward, and apologized.

"I'm sorry Hermione. I never should have accused you of that. Well, I'm glad you're taking care of him like this. That's very mature of you. I'm glad my daughter can put aside your differences and help." Her father said. Hermione just scoffed. She looked back around and saw that he was still sleeping. She felt herself smile a little.

'He looks so peaceful and innocent when he's sleeping. WHAT!! No, I didn't just think that!' Hermione mentally slapped herself for even thinking that Malfoy could possibly be like that, at any point in time.

Her parents went upstairs to unpack and the girls cleaned up the house. The whole day he slept on the couch. He never once woke up or moved from that spot. Hermione and the girls spent the day talking and watching movies. Hermione checked on him every hour, but he was the same. His cuts were healing nicely, except for the one on his chest.

That night the girls went home and Hermione remember that she had to give him his shot. She winced when she thought of what she had to do. She could tell she wasn't going to like it. She went to her bag and got out the medical box she was given. She got out the syringe and kneeled beside the couch that Malfoy was sleeping on. She uncovered him and tried to roll him over. He was heavier than se thought, so she put an arm underneath him and one on his side. She pushed once more and he rolled over easily. She proceeded to lift up his shirt. She dreaded the next part. Thankfully her parents were watching a dentist documentary in their room. She started to pull down his pants when a hand caught her wrist before she could do anything. The hand tightened its grip. She let out a small gasp as she saw who the hand belonged to.

"What…do…you..think you're….doing…mudblood?" he asked as sternly as he could.

"I am trying to take care of you, Ferret. Since you're the one who dropped at my doorstep I got stuck taking care of you while you heal. And I'd advise you NOT to insult me while you're in my care or I might just conveniently forget to give you your medicine." She snapped back.

"So…you think…that…you can just…look at…my ass….while…. I'm sleeping. I know…that I'm… irresistible….but try…and contain yourself." He said as he tried to smirk as best he could.

"ugh! Even this ill and you're still an arrogant, egotistical bastard! Now if you don't mind letting my hand go I have to give you you're shot! That's why I was pulling down ur pants. Do you really think I would do that, willingly, just to look at it. Please, don't flatter yourself so much."

"Shot!? What shot? I won't….let…you…give me…. a shot!" he panted.

"What? Why…. ooooh! I see. The Great Draco Malfoy is afraid of a shot. Wow! I know you're a wuss, but come on! It's just a little shot! You barely feel anything!" Hermione laughed. She felt…weird…when she said his name. The feeling of his first name rolling off her tongue was foreign to her, but it felt…sweet…in a sense. She surprised herself when she found that she…actually…like it.

"I'm….NOT…afraid and…I'm….NOT…a wuss. I just don't…" but instead of finishing he lowered his eyes as if he was embarrassed.

"What? You just don't what?"

"…" he didn't answer

"Oh come on! Or I'll make the shot hurt!" she threatened.

"OKAY! I just don't like needles. I had a bad experience when I was younger." He whispered.

"Oh come on! You can't seriously expect me to believe that! Everyone pulls the bad experience card when they don't want to do something." Hermione half laughed in disbelief. He looked down with a look of pain and anger on his face. When she saw this she stopped laughing. She looked down in shame.

"Oh. Sorry Dra-….uh…Malfoy. Okay, Malfoy, I really need to give you your shot now." She whispered. He sighed and scowled at her. "Oh come on! It won't hurt that much!" but when he still refused, she sighed and got up. She disappeared for a minute and when she came back she was holding a small, worn out teddy bear. She handed it to him and he took it hesitantly.

"Wha-what's this?"

"This is Bruno. I've had him since I was born. He's helped me through some things. You can hold him if you get scared." He scoffed at the idea.

"A Malfoy doesn't hold onto a little teddy bear." He sneered.

"Okay, fine. If you don't want to then just give him back so I can give you your shot." She shrugged and held up the needle. He took one look at the needle and pulled the teddy bear closer to him, tightened his grip and shook his head. She let out a small chuckle.

"Okay. Just hold onto him and think of something else." She instructed. He turned his head into the pillow and braced himself. She pulled his shorts down a little more, exposing his cheeks a little. She smiled to herself at the sight, but then scolded herself for it.

'Oh come on Hermione! You can't even begin to think he's attractive!' she thought to herself. "Okay, now try and relax." She said to him. She felt him tense up a little when she said this. "I said relax, not tense up. Hold Bruno and think about something happy or sometime in your life that made you really relaxed and happy." He was still tense for a moment and then finally relaxed. "Okay. Here we go." She whispered. She brought the needle to his skin and pushed in. She injected the medicine into his body and pulled the needle out as carefully as she could. "Okay. All done." But he wouldn't let go of Bruno. "Malfoy? Malfoy, you can let go now. Malfoy!" He heard her by the third time she called his name. He hadn't even realized that she was done. When he opened his eyes and turned over he noticed her staring at him with a weird look on her face. He blushed slightly (YES DRACO MALFOY ACTUALLY BLUSHED!) and handed back Bruno. He seemed to be thinking about something and Hermione couldn't keep her curiousness inside.

"What are you thinking about?" she asked him. He looked up at her sheepishly, or tired. She couldn't tell because the medicine was supposed to make him tired. He let out a small sigh.

"Just the memory I chose."

"Oh. What was it?" but he just looked back down and didn't answer. Hermione nodded and got up. She put the medicine away and got him a sandwich.

"Here" she said handing him a plate with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, "eat this and then go to sleep." He looked at it and made a funny face.

"What is it?" he asked with a disgusted look on his face.

"It's a peanut and butter and jelly sandwich. Don't tell me you've never had one of these." He just shook his head.

"Pure-blood remember." He smirked. He picked it up, looked at it funny, trying to decide whether he should or shouldn't eat it, and cautiously took a bite. He chewed it slowly and realized that it was one of the best sandwiches he's ever had. He immediately stuffed more and more into his mouth. Hermione let out a small giggled and he stopped to look at her. His mouth was full of the sandwich and his cheeks were bugling out and there was jelly on the corner of his mouth. She burst out laughing when she saw how he tried to look confused and innocent. He swallowed hard and gasped for air.

"What are you laughing at?" he asked.

"Your … face!!!" she said between laughs.

"Oh shut up, mudblood! Like yours is any better?" Hermione stopped laughing, grabbed the plate with the half eaten sandwich and left.

"HEY! I wasn't finished eating that!" he yelled after her.

"Goodnight, Malfoy!" she called back without looking at him.

That night Hermione sat up in her room and cried. She didn't know why he had gotten to her like that. She had put up with his insults for six years. Why would she be this upset now? Hermione decided to push it aside and go to sleep. She still had six weeks left of summer and it was ruined because she had to take care of him.

Little did she know, that these were going to be the best six weeks of summer she's ever had!
