Chapter 5: Exams and Disagreements.

Hermione and Draco entered the room in a hurry, but everything was fine. Scorpius had woken up and he was talking to Stefanie. They were both smiling.

"There she is. This is your doctor. Hermione is going to take good care of you," Stefanie said

A big smile grew on Scorpius's face when he saw Hermione.

"Miss Granger!" he said. "Are you going to heal me again?"

"Yes, how are you feeling?"

"I feel better. I can go home now."

"Not so fast, young man," Draco said. "You'll go home when the doctor says you're ok."

Scorpius looked at Hermione waiting for her to say he could go.

"I have to examine you first and you'll have to stay for the night so we can make sure you're ok. If until tomorrow afternoon you don't feel any pain or discomfort, you'll be able to go home," Hermione smiled.

She approached him and started to do the physical exams. After the complete exam, Hermione let Scorpius lay on the bed again.

"You're just fine, but we still have to make sure it won't happen again. So, you're staying for the night. If you feel anything, ask your dad to call me, ok?" Scorpius agreed and she turned to Draco. "One more thing. I want him to do a MRI. It's a muggle procedure, but I want to see if there is nothing wrong with his lungs and he will have to do a complete blood exam."

"Will it hurt?" Scorpius asked.

"It won't, I promise," Stefanie said. "We'll make as comfortable as possible, ok?"

Scorpius nodded and Stefanie took him to an exam room.

"Do you know what's wrong with him?" Draco asked when they left.

"I don't want to make assumptions. That's why I asked for the exams. When I get the result, I'll be able to analyze the situation."

"Is it bad?"

"Every disease is bad, Malfoy," Hermione walked out of the room.

"I know. I just want to know he'll be ok."

"He'll be ok. Trust me, he's been treated by the best doctors and nurses. I'm making the MRI. Are you coming?"

Draco nodded and followed Hermione to an exam room. They entered it and Draco was surprised with all the monitors and the MRI machine.

"What's all that?" he asked.

"That's muggle technology. This machine allows the doctor to see any part of the human body beneath the skin."

"Are you going to put Scorpius inside that thing?"

"Yes," Hermione simply said sitting down on a chair.

Stefanie soon got to the exam room with Scorpius after taking his blood. She put him on the machine and left for the room where Hermione was looking at the monitors. Scorpius could see the doctor, the nurse and his father through the glass but he couldn't listen to what they were saying. It seemed his father couldn't stop talking. And it was true. Draco spent almost the whole exam asking questions every time Hermione pushed a different button or when something changed in the monitors. Hermione was on the edge with his questions and soon she lost her patience.

"Malfoy!" she almost screamed. "Get out!"

Hermione got up and opened the door.

"Granger, that's my son!"

"Out!"

Draco wanted to say something, but by the look in her eyes, he didn't dare to say a word, so he just left the room. Hermione finished the exams and took Scorpius back to his room. Draco was waiting for them. Scorpius went to bed and Draco gave him a good night kiss. Then he turned to Hermione.

"I need to talk to you," he said in a cold tone.

"We can talk in my practice," she answered. "I'll call Stefanie to be with him for a while."

Hermione left and a few minutes later she got back with the nurse. Hermione and Draco left them talking and went to Hermione's practice and as soon as the door closed, Draco crossed his arms and looked at Hermione intensely.

"Who do you think you are to kick me out of the exam room like that?" he asked coldly.

"I beg your pardon?" Hermione was surprised with his question.

"You had no right to do that. You're treating my son and I have all the rights to be with him during an exam. You're not in the position to tell whether I can be with my son or not."

"I may not be in that position, but as a doctor, I like to do my job correctly and you were disturbing me with all those questions. I'm your sons doctor and I'll do anything to make him better and if it means that you can't be with him during the exams you won't" she said coldly too. "I've treated a lot of children already. I've seen parents in agony, but they are not my concern. I'm here to treat your son, not give you a lesson about muggle technology. I'm not going to give preferences here. You're not different than any other parent in this hospital."

"My son is the Malfoy's heir. He must have the best treatment."

"No, Scorpius is my patient. Here he's like anybody else. Being a Malfoy doesn't make him better than anyone else. You said you'd changed, but you're still acting like the same spoiled child you were."

"Here's the deal," he said pointing a finger to her. "You better treat my son the way he must be treated and I want to be informed of every single thing you do as his doctor. You better hear me, Granger. Do as I say or I'll ruin your career."

"No, Malfoy," she slapped his hand to get it off her face. "Here is the deal. I'm the doctor. I'll do what I believe is the best thing to Scorpius, not because he's a Malfoy, but because he's my patient and I never treat my patients badly. You'll be informed as it's a standard procedure. If you disagree with any treatment, you can take your son somewhere else. I won't allow you to threaten me at my work place. If you have a complaint to do, you can talk to my boss. I came here because you asked me to. There were plenty of good doctors here tonight. I could've come up with any excuses not to come. I spent the whole day in this hospital and I'm still here. So I would like you to respect me and to respect my job because I know what I'm doing. Did I make myself clear?"

Draco just shook his head and left without saying a word. Hermione took a deep breath and sat on one of her practice's couches. A few minutes later, Stefanie entered the room.

"What happened?" she asked. "Malfoy just kicked me out from the room. At least Scorpius was sleeping. He didn't see his father almost yelling at me. He was pretty mad."

"Malfoy happened. He was just upset because I told him to leave the exam room. The problem is that he's too arrogant. He thinks he can threaten me, like his son is more special than anybody else. Scorpius is getting the attention he needs. Not more and not less. Anyway, are you staying for the night?"

"No, I'm leaving at two. Another night shift is just too much to me. I'm tired and so should be you."

"I'm tired, but I'm not leaving. I just wish I could go home, take a bath and take off this dress."

"Go home. I'll cover for you, but you have to get here at 2."

"Are you sure?"

Stefanie nodded. Hermione took her purse and apparated home. She took a shower and almost went to bed. She was tired and she wanted the day to end. She dressed properly instead and got back to the hospital.
