Waking up
After Draco had gotten over the shook, he literally sprinted to the room Hermione was in. As he walked in he was a little taken a back, as he saw all the machines she was attached to. He knew they weren't for bad things but still he hated to see her like that. A single tear ran down his cheek, but as he was walking closer he wiped it away. He sat down in the chair beside her bed, as she was still not awake yet, but she looked peaceful. He held her hand and whispered "Hermione, I'm here, its ok love" Squeezing her hand to let her know he was there.
It was another hour before Hermione did wake up.
"Draco" Hermione uttered weakly with a dried trout. Slowly she opened her eyes, squinting as the bright light shined in to them. After about one minute she could see fully, she looked to her left to see Draco fast asleep in the chair. Looking at the clock on the wall she could she it was 10:00 in the evening. She had been in the hospital for least 8 hours. She did think about waking Draco but she decided not to as she knew for those 8 hours he would have been worrying himself sick. She smiled to herself as he made a cute little groaning noise in his sleep and moved his head for side to side on the back of chair. She heard a knock on the door and it slowly on. She looked to see Harry poking his head around the door. He was smiling widely and his eyes were shining as if he hadn't seen her for centuries.
"Hey, how you feeling" Harry asked softly and sitting down on the bed with a glass of water in his hand.
"Um… good I guess" Hermione said trying to sit up and get comfortable but found it to hard as she felt too weak.
"Here let me help" Harry said placing the water on the table beside her and lifting her arm carefully and pushing her pillows up to support her.
"Thank you" She whispered, placing her head back down on the pillows and looked longingly over to Draco.
Harry noticing this said "He tried to stay awake, as long as he could you know"
"I know, I just wish I didn't have to put him through all of that"
"Through what?" Harry asked with a slightly confused look on his face.
"Me, you know putting him through hell for the last 8 hours; I hate the thought of him worrying himself sick" Hermione answered tears willing up in her eyes.
"He loves you Hermione" Harry said rubbing her hand comfortingly "He would have gone through hell even if you were fine"
"I guess…." Hermione giggled looking at Draco and then at Harry who was now walking around to the other side of the bed where Draco was. "What are you doing" She said softly but glaring at him.
"I told him I would wake him as soon as you woke up" Harry whispered, smiley madly as he was about to be able to wake up Draco Malfoy without any hexes being throw his way, he moved slowly closer to him.
"Harry Potter don't you dare move a inch more" Hermione warned.
"But I told him I would" Harry said smiling but a little worried at he same time as she was giving him evil-eyes. Her evil eyes were if looks could kill he would have been died before he even knew about it.
"Don't you dare wake him, he needs to sleep" Hermione said sharply, trying not to yell as not to wake Draco.
"Okay, okay" Harry said calmly, holding his hands up as a sign of backing down, even though he so desperately wanted to wake Draco by scaring him silly.
"Good" Hermione smiled
"He needs his sleep, but you need yours too" Harry walking back to the bed to sit down again.
"I know, but….." Hermione was cut off
"No buts you" Draco said looking at her, eyes stern but sleepy and he had a giant big smile on his face.
"Oh really" Hermione flirted
"Yes" Draco said leaning in and kissing her on the forehead.
Hermione giggle and then yawned as she did feel very tired, but didn't want to admit.
"See" Draco said looking her in the eyes.
"Draco's right Hermione you need your sleep" Harry said smiling at her as she poked out her tongue at him like a 7 year old. " Anyway I better go, I will see you tomorrow and Ginny will too okay" Harry said squeezing her hand as she nodded and he walked out he room leaving Hermione and Draco to themselves.
"I'm sorry" Hermione said kissing him on the hand that was holding hers.
"For what" Draco said confused and sleepy at the same time.
"For putting you through hell, I'm so sorry, I-"She would have continued but was stopped by Draco's lips meeting hers, just like when they shared their first kiss. As they kissed Hermione thought about it:
It was the middle of July and she was in tears in the book shop when Draco walked in.
"Hey Granger" Draco said cheerily as he walked over to the counter. She was facing away fromhim, looking at the bookshelf. "Granger?" Draco now questioned as she hadn't answered.
He heard her sniff; wipe her face with her hands. Then she sadly said "Oh hey" But it was more of a whisper.
"Hermione you alright" He asked moving closer.
"Why would you care" she snapped turning around to revile that she had puffy red eyes and the light mascara she had put on had made faint lines down her face.
Draco didn't say a thing just stood shocked and angry at who ever had caused this. Even though she had only been friends with him for about 8 months they had a connection. 8 months ago was when they met again and were friends from that point.
"Well" She yelled at him. He would have answered if she hadn't burst in to tears; the tears now steaming again. He ran over and enveloped her in to a hug. She was crying in to his chest making the white shirt he was wearing go see through and stick to his torso.
After about 5-10 minutes of crying hard in to his chest, she stopped but started hiccupping. Draco giggled a little at her, as he thought the hiccups were cute.
She stepped back away from him in shock at the fact she had just heard him giggle.
"What?" Draco asked puzzled
"Um, it's nothing just I thought I just heard you giggle" Hermione tried to tease but it sounded funny, as she was upset.
"What are you on about Malfoy's don't giggle, we snorted but we never giggle" Draco informed her, raising his eyebrow.
"Right" Hermione said trying not to giggle.
"What do you mean right, you don't believe me" Draco teased playfully
"Um…well…um" Hermione stuttered
"What the great Hermione Granger lost for words" Draco said pretending to be shocked.
Hermione laughed now. He always knew how to cheer her up. Even if they had only been friends for 8 months, he could cheer her up better than Harry could.
"Oh now she is laughing, is she? I may have to make her laugh more" Draco teased looking at her playfully.
"Malfoy you wouldn't dare" Hermione said knowing what was coming.
"Oh I would" Draco said raising an eyebrow and smirking the famous Malfoy smirk as she called it.
"No..." Hermione screamed laughing and running away.
"Come back here you" Draco warned "Or I will do it more"
"No." Hermione said now sitting on the sofa thinking she was safe
"Ok then" Draco said still smirking. He sat down next to her but continued looking at her with a smirk on his face.
"What" She questioned forgetting what he warned. She suddenly remember "You still wouldn't dare"
"Really" Draco smiled leaning closer.
Before she knew it, she was rolling around laughing madly as Draco was tickling her.
"No. Stop. Draco. Stop" she begged laughing so hard she thought she might pee.
"You didn't say please" Draco teased still tickling her.
"Okay. Okay. Please" She begged again still laughing.
"Pretty please" Draco teased some more.
"No .No" She yelled laughing
"What no ok then"
"Oh. Ok. Please. Pretty. Please" she begged crying with laughter now.
"Thats more like it" Draco smiled stopping
She sat back up again, breathing heavy, still giggling.
After 2 minutes or so Draco asked softly "Dare I ask what was wrong earlier"
"Oh I almost forgot about that" she said quietly as if it was meant to just be in her head but it came out.
"You know you can tell me' Draco comforted
"I know just….."
"Just not right now, its ok I'll wait" Draco said putting his arm around her and squeezing her.
"Thank you" Hermione whispered placing her head on his shoulder. This was normal to them but to anyone else it would look like they were other really close friends which they were or a couple.
Little did they know they both wanted each other.
If wasn't until 2 days later Hermione told Draco why she was crying and he got mad, not at her but at Ron.
"What? How dare he do that to you" Draco yelled in frustration.
"Draco please don't" Hermione sobbed tears streaming down her face.
"But how could he do that to anyone, let alone you" Draco yelled getting more and more angry by the minute.
"I don't know, I guess it is because I'm so boring" Hermione yelled back sobbing and plucking herself down on the sofa crying hard into her hands.
"You are not, who said that" Draco said softly but you could tell he was still angry.
"I am…he told me I was" Hermione cried.
"You are not" Draco said walking over and sitting down next to her so she could cry into his chest again. "I'm going to kill him I swear, Potter will help me with it" Draco said annoyed rubbing her back.
"Don't you will only make things worse" Hermione begged pressing her head more in to his chest.
"Hermione…. He doesn't diverse you and you diverse better than that….that wimp and good for nothing ginger" Draco said trying not to raise his voice.
"But I loved him Draco" Hermione sniffed as he rubbed circles on her back.
"I'm sorry" Draco said
"For what you didn't do anything did you?" Hermione said smirking a little at what she said.
"I know but I hate that he hurt you like this" Draco said placing his chin on the top of her head
"Thank you, but I'll be alright, really I will" Hermione hiccupped
"I know you will, I'll make sure of that" Draco smiled looking down at her.
"Oh really?" Hermione giggled or tried to a least. "And how's that then" She said looking up at him and meeting his eyes for the first time. yes she had seen them before but she couldn't help but notice something different about them, she had never noticed it before. They weren't just the plain cold grey she thought they normally were, but they now looked like pools of mercury silver. They were gorgeous.
When his eyes met hers he saw that they looked like milk chocolate not just brown and they were sparkling like stars he had never seen eye do that before.
They starred for only about a minute, but to them it seemed like a year. The truly got lost in each others eyes.
Draco broke away and starred in to the black hole of the fireplace.
"What did I do" Hermione said looking at him starring away into the empty fireplace. Draco didn't answer. "I knew it you got bored of me too" Hermione said starting to tear up again.
"Hermione you are not boring how many times do, I have to say it" Draco said snapping out of his daydream and looking back at her.
"But you weren't talking I thought" Hermione was cut short by Draco putting his finger on her lips.
"You thought wrong, what ever it was you thought wrong" Draco looking in to her eyes "You are funny, talented, smart and pretty no…beautiful and anyone would be lucky to have you" Draco pulled his finger away slowly. Hermione didn't say anything just starred at him. She couldn't help it she leaned forward to kiss him on the cheek, but as she did he turned to face her so their lips met, but only for second. It still got them thinking….
"Wow she's prefect" He thought "Did I really just think that…No…yes I did,but why it's Hermione...It's Granger the girl I teased and was horrible to for at least 7 years…..Why do I feel like this? She is my friend nothing more….at least I don't think? I've never felt this way before either…..what is it? I been with many girls but never felt this way! I don't think it is…No it can't be…no I can't….she is my friend…No I can't….no wait I do…I do…I think I love Granger….I do….I love Hermione Granger!"
The whole time Draco was having a battle in his head, Hermione was having one to.
"Oh my Merlin…..did I just peck Draco on the lips….. I was aiming for his cheek, but he moved….But that is all nothing more…I didn't mean to, did I? I am in love Ron…But when we accidently kiss, just like that I did feel like this…I can't love Draco…he is my friend…I can't….But could I…..No I couldn't this is Draco Malfoy the person who made me cry at least twice a day. I have forgiven him I have really have…..I don't love him…I can't love him…can I?"
After about 10 minutes of mentally fighting themselves. Draco heard Hermione sniffing and hiccupping
"Hermione what is it?" Draco said forgetting his thoughts and concerting on her.
"Oh it's nothing don't worry" Hermione said lying and he could tell
"Hermione please?" Draco said kind of begging.
"Um….Well, no one and I mean no one has ever called me beautiful before" Hermione said really fast.
"What? But what about Krum and Weaselbee surely they did?" Draco asked confused slightly.
"No they said they loved me and that I was pretty, never beautiful" Hermione started sobbing again remember what Ron had done.
"Hey, don't cry, you are beautiful and you have to believe that?" Draco said hugging her tightly again
Hermione looked into his eyes again and once again chocolate met silver, this time even more sparks set off on their eyes. Draco cupped Hermione's cheek and wiped the tears away with his thumb. As he did he slowly leaned forward. He did it slowly as if she didn't want to kiss she could stop him, he wouldn't have minded. But she didn't say anything. Their lips met. He started to bit softly on her bottom lip and she smoothed her fingers through his hair. Normally he hated people teaching his hair but this time he didn't mind he found it right. She felt his tongue ran along her lip asking for permission to enter her mouth she accepted and let out a little moan of pleasure in to his mouth. He couldn't help but smirk at this. She continued to smooth her fingers through his silky platinum blonde hair. He sled his hand up the back of her checked shirt and rubbed her back and gripped her petit waist, cruising her skin. They made out for at least 10 minutes before having to breathe properly. The kiss was mind blowing. She had never been kissed like that before and fireworks went off in both their heads.
Even today at times when they kissed, they both had fireworks.
"Hey you need your sleep" Draco said smiling and interrupting her and taking her off her train of thought.
"Um…I guess" Hermione said softly smoothing his hair and resting her head back down on the pillows
"I love you Granger" Draco said kissing her on the forehead
"Oh so it's back to Granger now is it" Hermione giggled
"Oh yes and who said it ever stopped" Draco replied cheekily
Hermione giggled again but was interrupted by a rougher loud yawn.
"Come on Granger, you need to look after yourself and our babies"
"What do you mean babies; I having one baby aren't I? Hermione said a little confused but excited.
"No, we are having twins" Draco almost yelled with excitement.
"Oh….No….Really" Hermione said a little shocked
"Yes Hermione"
"Twins….We are having twins" Hermione yelled exciting unable to hold it in.
"I know" Draco grinned
"Wow" Hermione yawned
"Now you need to sleep" Draco ordered
"Oh I can't sleep now,I'm to excited" Hermione exclaimed
"I know love, but you need to keep healthy and your strength up" Draco said smoothing back her hand and kissing it "I will be right here next to you when you wake alright"
"Ok, I love you Draco Malfoy"
"I love you too beautiful Miss Granger"
"Soon to be Malfoy" She giggled
"Yes, yes indeed" Draco said smiling
"I can't believe we are having twin, I will love then both so much" Said Hermione trying to detract him from the fact she wasn't going to sleep yet
"As will I, Now missy sleep" Draco order for like the 50th time.
"Okay" Hermione said running her hand through his hair one last time before she closed her eyes and fell in to the world of dreams.
"I love you Granger and always will" Draco said before sitting down in the chair next to her and after a while felling back to sleep again.
