I'll have some comments at the end, but I know you all just want to read! I won't stop you.

*HM(Montresor) pov*

*BEEP … BEEP … BEEP*

ughh. I really don't want to go into work today. I usually love work. I didn't get much sleep last night, because of this stupid Montresor thing. What does this mean? Will me being a pure blood change anything. I had thought about this well into the night, and I didn't think it will.

I rolled out of bed and turned my alarm off. I HAD to go into work today because if I didn't the Malfoy Family would probably hunt me down. Plus, Ron's stopping over after work, so we could go out to eat and sort our relationship out. I hadn't talked to him since Harry found out it was true. It was only two days ago, but still.

I showered, loosely curled my hair, put on some make up, and put on my blue scrubs. I had to put some effort into my appearance since I was going out with my boyfriend. I put a sticking charm on my hair and left for the hospital.

I walked in right on time and headed up to my usual floor. I had a few regular patients to check on, then I would go check on Malfoy. Half past eight I went into his room.

I reached for his wrist to take his pulse (to see if his heart rate was normal) and I was only thirty seconds in when he yanked his wrist away. "Get out of here you stupid nurse! My healer said for me to get rest and I can't get any with you all coming in here every hour!" He said angrily, with his eyes still closed.

Malfoy had always had a talent for getting on my nerves, plus it was early in the morning,. I replied with a little more attitude then I should have with a patient, even if the said patient is Malfoy. "You say the word nurse as if it's an insult Malfoy? You do realize they have more schooling than you do! You didn't even finish Hogwarts." I paused as he realized it was me and opened his eyes slowly. "Do you really not want them to come in every hour? What if your heart had stopped because of the rodedemdrim's snare? Do you want to die?" I paused for effect, almost daring him to be smart with me. "That's what I thought, now shut up and hold still. I need to take you pulse."

I held his wrist and took his pulse. It was normal. I started checking all the usual things such as blood pressure, hand and eye coordination, and possible brain damage due to lack of oxygen. All of his vital signs seemed to be in perfect condition, and when as I was almost done he mumbled, "If she's such a bloody great healer, why isn't she using magic."

I stopped, and glared at him. It seems that Malfoy hasn't changed much. Sure, he and his family had come over and helped Harry at the very end. It's not like he actually killed anybody, but he is the same good old Malfoy from school.

"What was that Malfoy?" I asked annoyed

He was about to say something, but he was interrupted, "DRAKEEYYY! YOU'RE AWAKEY!"

In came in the same blonde as last night. I started to laugh. 'Drakey?' Even Drake didn't sound like a name for Malfoy! He was a Draco, and that was it. Draco shot me a glare. It seems like he doesn't like the nickname either, or me laughing at it. I can't tell which.

I assumed it was his girlfriend. As soon as she got close to him she started to kiss him. I figured yesterday after seeing her, that she was in fact his love interest. She was a blonde with blue eyes, and gorgeous. She also had clothes on that screamed money, so she was most defiantly Malfoy's type. The only question was, Mr. Malfoy really seemed to dislike the girl yesterday. I wonder why?

I quickly wrote a few things on the clip board and hurried out of the room. Almost running into the Malfoys. "Oh, excuse me! I'm so sorry. I was just in a bit of a hurry to- umm …honestly, to get away from that." I said pointing behind me, at the couple making out.

Mr. Malfoy scowled towards the pair, but Mrs. Malfoy smiled at me with tears in her eyes. "I can't thank you enough for what you have done for my Draco! We will be forever in debt to you!"

Mr. Malfoy rolled his eyes, "Narcissa, no need to over react in front of others."

I smiled at Mrs. Malfoy, "It's not a problem in the slightest Mrs. Malfoy. I was just doing my job, and you owe me nothing. And you reacted as any mum would. I know many more mum's who would be more emotional than you." I said the last part to Mr. Malfoy.

"Great, now she's comparing you to, that Weasley women." Mr. Malfoy said crossly.

My smile disappeared. I turned and looked at Mr. Malfoy, as if to say. 'You did NOT just say that!' Then started to give them the update. I started rambling off very medical terms for what I had found out, just because I knew they would pretend they knew what I was talking about, so wouldn't ask questions because they were too proud.

Mrs. Malfoy surprised me by asking, "So this means what? When can we take him home?"

I smiled at her. "Considering all he's doing here is terrorizing the nurses, and not getting enough sleep I'm going to let you take him home, but if anything is wrong bring him back in. He will have absolutely NO visitors, and will be on total bed rest. I have the day off tomorrow. If you need to contact me don't owl the hospital. Also he has a check up in two days. Someone will come in and help you check out, but I must be going." I finished as I walked out of the room. I had other patients to tend to.

*DM pov*

Wow Granger has changed a lot since Hogwarts. I can't believe out of all the healers in the hospital SHE saved my life. You would think she would have poisoned me further or something. Then again Granger has always been such a little saint. Always helping everyone. It also surprises me how different she looks … Her hair doesn't seem so big and.. I don't know. She just looks different.

"Draco honey, we can leave now." Mum told me from the door. I stood up, feeling a little shaky. Granger said I might have some slight side effects, but they'd pass soon since I'm young. We made our way out of the room and towards the main lobby. We floo'ed home, and then mum sent me straight to my room.

This is the first time I've not wanted to be in my room. I usually love my big bed, with the green comforter, dark wood, and fluffy pillows. My room is fit for a king, and that's why I like it.

I sat down on my bed and got comfortable. "Binkley, Ginger!"

*CRACK* *CRACK* "Binky and Ginngy here to serve master." Binkley said in a squeaky voice.

"Get me some lunch please. I'm hungry."

"Yes Master. Mistress told Binky you needed to be served more." Binkley said and left with a *CRACK*.

"Ginngy was very worried for master!" Ginger said in a quiet voice and then also left with a *CRACK*.

*HG pov*

The rest of the work day went by as usual. All day I was busy thinking about Ron, and what would happen tonight. Would he still be upset? I know Ginny said he was angry, but that's why I gave him time to cool off. I guess we ARE cousins, but a lot of pure bloods married close cousins..

Eventually it was five o'clock, so I floo'ed home. Surprisingly Ron was already sitting on the couch in my family room waiting. I walked towards him, and sat down next to him on the couch. "Hey Ron," I said quietly.

"Hey Mione." He said back, finally looking at me, "What are we going to do?"

"I- I don't know. It's not like anything's really changed technically."

"It's practically illegal to marry your second cousin! It can't possibly work between us now. The only people that do that are the Malfoys, and we don't want to be like them. Why did you have to be a Montresor?" He finished angrily.

I looked at him shocked, "If that's how you feel then I think it would be best if we broke up." My eyes were tearing up, so I stood up and walked into my bedroom. I locked the door, and put a silencing charm up. I didn't want him to hear me cry.

I can't believe he was giving up that easily! He was just quitting. I love him, and sure it hasn't been perfect lately, but I never even thought of us breaking up. I laid down on my bed and cried. He could be so stubborn sometimes. Sometime after 11 I fell asleep.

I woke up the next morning as light came in my window. Great, today's my day off, and since its only 8 in the morning I have all day to be depressed. I turned and glared at the window, cursing the sun, when I noticed an owl at my window.

I got up and let it in. The poor owl was tired. I wonder how long it's been there. I didn't hear it since I had a silencing charm up. I recognized it as the Potter owl…

Mione,

Please tell me that Ronald didn't do anything rash yesterday?! He was in one of his moods when he and Harry came home from work yesterday, and then he left to go to your house. Anyways, I figured since today was your day off work, and I have to shop for maternity clothes (because I'm getting even fatter) we could go shopping today! Write me back, but just so you know I will be at your flat at 9 o'clock even if you decline.

Love, Ginny

I looked at my clock. 8:12 I better hurry. I scribbled a quick reply saying I'd love to go shopping and then got in the shower. I took a quick, relaxing shower, and then dried my hair magically and put on makeup.

I picked out a jean skirt that was one of the shorter things I had, and an brown shirt. If Ron saw me today he would regret breaking it off. After I was sure I looked great, and my hair was controlled, I went out into my family room and waited.

Right on time Ginny floo'ed over and looked around the room with a critical eye, almost expecting me to not be there and still be in bed. I stood up off the chair I was sitting in, "Ginny! I'm over here!"

She had started to storm towards the bedroom (she must have thought I wasn't ready yet) when she turned around. As soon as she saw me she smiled, "Mione, don't you look nice today." She sat down on the couch. "What happened last night? Ron isn't talking to anyone. Mum's worried."

I took a deep breath. I had prepared myself for this question. "Well Gin, he was at my flat when I got home from work yesterday. You know Ron. He was in one of his stubborn moods. He said it wouldn't work, and kept going on and on about how it would be like the Malfoys, or something like that. So we ended it." I finished sadly.

She sat there in shock, "So you didn't want to break up with him?"

"No, of course not! I THOUGHT we were in love, but he just ended it. I had been thinking about it and a lot of pure bloods marry cousins. Apparently we can't work." I stood up, "Will you come with me to Grindgrots. I have to go transfer my account to the new one or something like that. Which isn't good, because I have all my loans from healer training, I'm still going to be broke."

Ginny stood up and smiled, "Ron will get over it Mione."

I smiled too, knowing that he obviously didn't love me as much as I thought he did. LAst night he made it clear he DID want to break it off. Maybe he was looking for an out? I'll probably never know. We floo'ed to The Leaky Cauldron, and walked towards the bank.

We arrived, and I walked up to the goblin. "Excuse, me sir?"

"Key please." Said the unfriendly looking goblin.

"See that's the thing, I don't have a key, because …"

"No key, no entry." He stated firmly, as if he was a prerecorded machine, and he was dismissing me!

"Now you listen here," I said angrily. I hate when people look down at me and think I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm also not in a good mood because of the whole Ron situation. "I just found out my last name, and it's Montresor. Does that ring any bells?!"

Ginny started giggling beside me. And the goblin looked at me in shock. It seems I had said that a little too loudly and others were looking at us. Griphook started to walked over, "Hello Miss. Montresor I remember you. I also got a message from the ministry in the post telling me you'd have to come by soon. Sorry about my fellow worker, please follow me."

Ginny and I followed him into the dark tunnels and rode on the cart for a very long time. It seemed to take forever, and I thought we had to be there soon.

Ginny leaned over and whispered to me, "Wow, this is really impressive. We passed my family vault a long time and, and now we just passed the Potter one. I doubt you'll go into debt from your healer loans."

I was about to reply when the cart stopped suddenly. There were five big doors that we could see. Griphook turned to me and asked, "Which one would you like to go in first? The Montresor, or Luchesi?"

I looked at him in shock . "I own more than one of them?"

"Yes." He said pointing to two of them. I didn't really take notice to which two, but I followed him to one of the closer giant doors. He took out a key, and opened the door. Inside was more gold than I had ever seen. There were so many coins I couldn't even begin to count them. Then there were many family heir looms. I couldn't wait to have the time to look through these old wizarding objects.

I took out the bag I brought and put some in. I turned to Ginny, "How much do you think I should take? I need about 500 for my loans this month, but if we go shopping I should bring like 200? I haven't gone shopping in a while, and I'll need grocery money."

"Mione, that's not even an eighth of an eighth of a eighth of the gold in this room. Don't worry about it."

I took the money feeling a little guilty, but I needed it and it WAS mine. We walked out and started towards the other vault. "Can we just go? I don't need to go to the other one."

"Yes Miss. Montresor." Griphook said as we got into the cart. The ride back seemed to be shorter. We got up to ground level and Ginny and I headed towards the shops.

We were walking into a baby store talking about the baby. "So Gin, have you and Harry been talking about names, now that you know it's a boy?"

"Yeah, Harry and I were thinking either James, or Albus. We decided not to make any decisions until we see him, so we won't know his name for three more months." Ginny said with a smile as she rubbed her rather large stomach.

She's been so happy since she found out she was pregnant, so has Harry. They'll be great parents.

"Did you guys decide on the safari, or qudditich theme? I knew Harry really wanted the qudditich one."

Ginny laughed, "He finally let me have my way. We're getting the safari one. Just in case we actually have a girl, later on. Can you imagine my mum's reaction if I had a girl. I hope, some day."

I smiled, "Yay! I really liked the safari one! The little giraffe and lion were so cute."

"We should buy the set today, and then we can go shop for clothes."

We bought the baby room set, and then headed to some other shops. She bought a few bigger shirts, and I bought a couple nice shirts and pants, and then a new nice set of robes. After a couple of hours Ginny's feet were starting to hurt and she was really tired. We floo'ed back to her house, and I helped her get into bed for a nap.

I wrote a quick note to Harry telling him that Gin was upstairs, so he wouldn't worry when he came home to what seemed like empty house. Then I floo'ed home.

I put my new clothes away, and then put my money in a safe place. I was cooking supper, when I heard an owl pecking at my window. I went over and opened the window, letting in a very majestic looking owl. I took the note from his leg.

Healer Hermione Montresor,

Lucius and I request you company at The Malfoy Manor. At first Draco was fine upon arriving at home, but a couple of hours ago he started to develop a fever. I am very worried about my son, and I would be forever grateful, if you would make a house call. I know it's a lot to ask, but could you please come?

Narcissa Malfoy

Ugh, it's not like I can refuse a nice letter from Mrs. Malfoy. I went back into my room and changed into my new, black, robes, so I would look professional. I grabbed my wand and medical bag, and apparated to their Manor.

Stupid. House. Calls. I was thinking as I walked towards their giant front door. Their house was very grand and nice looking. I knocked on the huge front doors and was immediately let in by two house elves. Just great. They have house elves.

"Wait one second Miss. Ginngy must go get Mistress." The smaller house elf said before she disappeared with a CRACK.

The other house elf stood back, almost watching me to see if I would take anything. I looked around. The house really was nicely decorated. There was a lot of green, silver, and dark wood, but it all fit with the mood of the house. It looked different than the last time I was here. All of a sudden Narcissa came rushing in the room.

"Oh I'm so glad you're here Hermione! Come, come quickly. He's getting worse."

I followed her through many corridors, and up two flights of stairs. We finally arrived at the room. She stopped outside, and opened the door for me. I walked into his huge room. It was just like the rest of the house. Maybe just a little more personal, but just as tasteful. I walked towards the large bed, and Malfoy was lying on the bed sleeping fitfully.

I put my hand on his forehead. He was burning up! His temperature was probably about 104! I took out my bag and gave him a potion for the fever and started to check him for other symptoms. He seemed to have a fever and swollen lymph nodes. It didn't seem to be anything incurable.

I noticed that Mrs. Malfoy was standing in the door way looking nervous. I turned towards her to tell her the verdict. "He seems to just have a fever and swollen lymph nodes. I gave him a potion that should help, but I don't want him having ANY company for the next couple of days. I had no idea this would happen when I let him come home yesterday. I had the day off today, so I thought he would be better here with no nurses interrupting his sleep. I'm so sorry he got sick. I feel terrible, that you're so worried and I feel as though it's my fault." I finished sadly.

"Oh it's not your fault. It's just Draco never gets sick, so this is just new for me. This probably couldn't have been avoided." She insisted with a sad smile. "His girlfriend came over yesterday. He insisted that she could visit him."

I gave her a potion to give to him every twelve hours. Telling her I'd be back after my shift tomorrow.
