Chapter 8:

Waking Up

It had been a week but Draco had not woken. Hermione went to the dungeons refilled her bottles and came back to Draco's room. She used the potions she had on the first night and after the third night she made sure he drank a bit of Strengthing Potion. She stayed in his room every day. The burns on his chest and leg had gone. His face had healed. He looked more or less normal. Daisy had made him some skelegrow for his ribs. Hermione waited, she usually just sat on an armchair beside him with a book or she redecorated the room with her wand. Snape visited a lot, no other death eater entered the house. Hermione sighed as she continued to read her book.

"Stupid book," Hermione muttered.

"G…Gr…anger," Draco's voice came.

Hermione dropped her book on the floor, "Malfoy?"

"Granger," he whispered, his eyes were still closed.

"Daisy!" Hermione called.

Daisy appeared in the room.

"He spoke!" Hermione smiled.

Daisy squealed, another house elf appeared, not Dipsy, this one was Clacky. They moved around him and got him to talk a bit more. Then he opened his grey eyes.

"He's awake!" Daisy smiled. "Master Malfoy how are you?"

"Pain…no strength," Draco replied weakly.

Hermione grabbed her potion bottle and handed it to Daisy, "Make him drink all of this. He'll feel stronger."

Daisy nodded and tried to get Draco to drink the potion.

Dipsy entered the room, "Miss, Mr Snape is here."

"I'm coming," she smiled. "Daisy I'll be back in a bit."

Hermione entered the living room.

"Any change?" Snape asked.

"He's waking up slowly, but he's waking up," Hermione replied.

"Thank Merlin," Snape smiled, this was the first time Hermione had ever seen him smile.

"He's still weak, you can go up and see him," Hermione offered.

"I can't, the two others have been found in a muggle hospital," Snape said.

"Ok," Hermione replied. "I've gotta get back up there."

Snape was shocked that she cared but refused to show it, "Goodbye Miss Granger."

Hermione headed back up to the room in which Malfoy was staying at. He was sitting up meaning that the strengthening potion had in fact worked. Yet he was still hurt and obviously in pain.

"I can put the potion on myself," Draco said irritated at the house elves.

"You lot can go," Hermione smiled at the house elves who all left one by one.

She watched as Draco who was trying to put potion over his ribs. To say he was having a problem was an understatement.

"Your arms hurt, and so are your ribs, you keep stretching and you'll break a rib again," Hermione warned.

Draco ignored her.

He spilt the potion. Hermione sighed, she grabbed her wand and cleaned up the mess. Then she grabbed the other potion bottle.

"I don't need your help Granger," Draco snarled.

"Too bad your getting it," Hermione replied.

Draco opened his mouth.

"Argue with me and I will either give you a strong sleeping potion or I'll tape your mouth shut, got it?" Hermione asked, conjuring up more cotton wool.

She was doing it the muggle way, its better then wand controlling everything. She poured the potion onto the cotton wool. He was already topless. She dabbed his ribs gently, there were only a few marks left. She could feel him breathing over her.

She sat on the bed beside him as she continued to rub the potion on him.

"I need to do your face too," She said slowly. She looked up. On his left cheek there was a scar. She dabbed it carefully. She looked up into his eyes, instead of cold grey ones she saw warm grey ones. He rubbed her cheek softly, then he leaned in slowly and kissed her. She was fighting temptation, but she lost. She kissed him back. He intensified the kiss. She didn't fight him. He moved back without breaking the kiss, she was literally on top of him when she pulled back.

"You need rest," Hermione said getting up. Fuck, what did I do? "Drink that other potion, the third bottle if…if you feel weak."

"Granger," Draco said but Hermione was out of the door.

Hermione headed into her own room which she hadn't seen in days. She closed the door and fell on the bed.

What am I doing? Looking after Malfoy, being his nurse, kissing him! What is wrong with me? This isn't me! I'm not a girl who goes around kissing enemies! Death Eater! He's a fucking death eater! Hermione what is wrong with you! Stop thinking about him! Stop thinking about the kiss! Stop thinking about it! Nothing can happen with the two of you.

Harry was at home, Ginny sat opposite him in the living room.

"What happened, I still don't get it, why was Draco so badly beaten?" Ginny asked.

"One of the aurors tried to kill him, Malfoy fought back really well, then about three aurors got him, he fell down some hill, and that's when the death eaters found him," Harry replied. "And he lived."

"Yea he did," Ginny replied. "That's a good thing for us, for Hermione."

"Yea without him, Voldermort can access Hermione."

"Why is he helping her?" Ginny asked herself. "There must be a reason."

"There is," Harry said. "I don't know the reason but there must be."

"Snape keeps going on about how he's not all bad but…" Ginny stopped.

"But why does he kill?" Harry finished.

"Yea," Ginny sighed.

"How's Luna and the others," Harry asked, "I completely forgot about them."

"There all ok, Luna returns to work tomorrow," Ginny smiled. "She met a guy called Rolf."

Harry smiled, "Is he like her?"

"Happy and a bit…yea he is," Ginny grinned. "At least she's found someone."

Harry held onto Ginny's hand, he got up and kissed her slowly, "I love you."

"I love you too," Ginny replied as Harry sat beside her.

Four days later, Hermione was avoiding Draco. She only went into his room when he was asleep, she uses all the potions on him, stays with him for a few hours and then leaves. He wasn't well enough to get out of bed yet. Hermione knew sooner or later she would have to face him.

"Miss," Daisy entered her room a few days later. "Master Malfoy is starting to get up."

"Ok," Hermione replied.

"He's taking his first few steps in a bit Miss," Daisy persisted.

"Yes Daisy, I get the hint I'm coming up," Hermione smiled.

"Thank you Miss," Daisy smiled.

Hermione headed down the hallway, she entered the room. Draco was sitting on the edge of his bed, ready to take his steps.

"Well go on then," Hermione said.

"I'm taking my time Granger," Draco replied, he looked up quickly and then looked back down.

Hermione looked at him. He looks…scared. Hermione walked up to him, the elves had gone.

"Take my hand if you're scared," Hermione said softly.

"I don't need help Granger," Draco snarled.

Hermione sighed but didn't move. Draco stood up, he felt a little wobbly and grabbed Hermione's arm. Hermione held onto him as he stood straight.

"How'd you feel?" Hermione whispered.

"Stiff," Draco answered.

"Can you take a few steps," Hermione asked.

Draco moved his left foot in front of his right. Hermione had one arm around Draco's waist, not completely as Draco was more built then her.

"Slowly," Hermione warned as he took a step or two.

He then sat down before starting again. He pushed himself until he began to walk better, with the aid of a potion Hermione had made.

"Finally," Draco muttered as he walked on his own.

"That's great you can walk again," Hermione smiled.

"Yea," Draco replied.

"Great, you must be hungry, I'll get Daisy to fix dinner," Hermione said. "You going to be ok?"

"Yes," Draco replied not looking at her.

Hermione apparated downstairs.

"Daisy can you serve the food in the dining room," Hermione asked the elf.

"Yes Miss," Daisy smiled.

Hermione smiled at the elf. Why am I so happy? So what if he walks, not my life is it.

"Miss dinner is ready," Daisy said.

"Great I'll get Malfoy," Hermione said as she apparated to his room. "Dinner's ready."

Draco nodded.

"You wanna walk or should I apparate you down there?" Hermione asked.

"Walk," Draco replied.

Hermione nodded and followed him. Stubborn Malfoy, he'll die before he accepts help. Prick.

Hermione was careful and if she thought he was going to trip then she would either grab him or use her wand. They were soon sitting at the dining table.

"I asked Daisy to make your favourites, she's made a few plates because you've not really eaten a lot," Hermione said.

Draco nodded.

They ate in silence. Hermione slowed her pace down as Draco was to eat more. She made sure he ate everything in front of him. Then it was time for him to get some more sleep.

As they stood he nearly fell, Hermione grabbed onto him. And again that spark, that attraction it was there. For moments they stared at each other but this time it was Hermione who leaned in for the kiss. The same electricity ran through her veins, her heart raced once again, her stomach was in knots as he kissed her back.

Hermione pulled back, "We…"

"We need to talk," Draco replied.

Hermione nodded. "Yea we do."
