Chapter 3:
Hermione's POV:
I get up and quickly get dressed. I don't know what to do. I have to go to work but I don't know what to do with Autumn. I can't drop her of at the Burrow because it's so late. Ron's in Ireland working on a new project and Harry and Ginny are on their honeymoon. I guess I will have to take her with me. Hopefully she won't wake up while we're gone. I go into the nursery and pack a diaper bag for Autumn before transferring her into her car seat. By twelve thirty we're out the door and on our way to St. Mungo's.
When we get there it's quiet and I quietly sign in.
"Where is Mr. Malfoy?" I ask quietly to the night receptionist so I don't wake up Autumn.
"He's in room 312. Your baby is so cute by the way."
I smile, "Thank you." I head in the direction where Malfoy is. When I get in the room I see he's breathing heavily and sweating. He hasn't noticed me yet so I quietly put Autumn down on the floor by me and get closer to him.
"Hello, Mr. Malfoy. What is giving you pain right now?" He gasps out his stomach. "Do you mind if I take a look?" He shakes his head. I lift up his shirt and see that his injury from this morning looks worse.
"Have you taken any pain relievers?" He shakes his head and I give him some before continuing the examination. After he relaxes I am able to finally diagnose him.
"Mr. Malfoy, you have severely bruised ribs and internal bleeding. The medicine I gave you gave the appearance of healed but it wasn't. You will probably have to stay here for a week until they heal." He nods. I give him some more potions so he can start to heal. Just as I was giving him his last potion Autumn starts to cry.
"Whose bloody child is that?" he snaps. I sigh and finish giving him his potion before I go to tend to Autumn.
"She's mine, Malfoy. You're potions should last until morning. Good night," I tell him. Autumn cries harder and I realize she's wet her diaper. I take out a clean blanket before I change her.
"Do you have to change that mudblood child in front of me?" he says angrily to me. When I finish changing her diaper and put everything away I turn to face him.
"You can call me whatever you want Malfoy but don't you dare insult my daughter. If you call her that again I will hex you into next week!" I put Autumn back in the car seat and walk out of the room.
"Good night, see you tomorrow morning." I tell the receptionist on my way out.
When I get home I put Autumn in her crib before going to bed. Its two thirty and I have to be up at eight. I'm still fuming with anger at Draco Malfoy but I still fall asleep rather quickly. I wake up at seven thirty to Autumn crying and I feed her breakfast. We got done with our morning routine early so I started playing with her. I've been trying to get her to laugh but she hasn't yet. Her first smile was last week and it was the most precious thing I've ever seen. She smiles all the time; she's such a happy baby. When it's time to go I grab her diaper bag and take her to the Burrow.
"Hi Hermione, how is Autumn today?" asks Mrs. Weasley when I come into the house.
"She's good. She's smiling a lot today so I'm hoping that means she'll start laughing soon. I've got to get going though. I'll see you tonight and thanks again Mrs. Weasley." Mrs. Weasley nods and takes Autumn from me.
"Have a good day." I smile and apparate to St. Mungo's. I get to St. Mungo's in time to sign in and start my shift.
"Thanks so much for coming in last night. Nobody would take on Mr. Malfoy as their charge, which reminds me Mr. Malfoy told me to tell you he would like to talk to you this morning." The head healer told me.
"You're welcome and I will talk to Mr. Malfoy when I get a chance, thanks." I walk to my first patient's room and make my rounds for the morning. When I run out of patients I reluctantly go to Malfoy's room. I stalled all morning and can't pull it off any longer. I quietly open his door and walk in.
"Good morning Mr. Malfoy, how are you feeling this morning? Should I summon some more potions for you?"
"Granger, I want to talk."
I sigh, "Alright Malfoy, I'm listening."
"I want to formally apologize for what I called your daughter last night. I still don't like you or your daughter but it was rude of me to call her a mudblood." Was he really apologizing? Is this really Draco Malfoy?
"Thank you Mr. Malfoy, I forgive you but I never forget."
"Who's the father? It doesn't like weasel."
"That's because Ron isn't the father. And it's none of your business. If you don't need any more potions then I need to leave."
"I could use some more pain relievers." I summon some more pain relievers and give it to him. "Thanks Hermione and I really are sorry."
"You're welcome Draco, I will check on you after lunch.
