Wow its been forever..

*DM pov*

I could tell I wasn't in my bed. I was in a sitting position, and my neck was really starting to hurt. I started to stretch, but stopped when I heard something groan. I opened my eyes.

There was Mione. She was leaning against me and had her arm reached around my stomach, as if I was a giant teddy bear. Malfoy's were NOT teddy bears.

For some reason though, I didn't mind having to comfort her last night. I could tell from the moment she came into the sitting room last night, that something was wrong. I wasn't sure what it was, but I decided I needed to figure it out. Who would have thought, that Granger, best friend of Harry bloody Potter, Part of the Trio that worked to take down Voldemort, would be afraid of a little thunder. The worst part was, that I thought it was sweet. Recently Mion-Granger, has been growing on me … a little

The other day I was even helping her find her way to the pool and back. Maybe it was because she was in a bathing suit. That's probably it. Men can't help their hormones.

Suddenly I realized I'm still on the couch and M-GRANGER is still using me as her personal teddy bear. Why do I not want to wake her? It would be the perfect revenge for all the times she's brought up Doug, but I just can't bring myself to wake her.

I'm still pondering what to do when she sits up faster then I've ever seen someone. She sways a little bit and holds her head for a second. She must have sat up too fast and her eyes clouded. ((ever sat up too fast and you black out for like a second?)) She looks over at me and blushes.

"I'm so sorry! It's just storms, and yeahh. How long have you been up?" She finishes looking a little akward.

I smirk and stand up and stretch, "Not too terribly long Granger. It was no big deal last night, just a little surprised is all. I bet Doug enjoyed the company."

She looked down and realized she was holding Doug. HA. She laughed and launched him at me, but I caught him due to my reflexes from years of qudditich.

She stood up, and stalked into her bedroom mumbling something that sounded like, "Stupid storms ruin my life, and why do boys always have to have fast reflexes. For ONCE I would like to throw something at him and knock the smirk right off his face" She slammed the door.

Oh well, might as well get ready for breakfast. I take my shower and get dressed, but by the time I go out into the sitting room it's evident that Mio-GRANGER has already left 'I really have to stop doing that' I say to myself as I start walking to the dining room.

"Doing what?" Comes a voice from behind me.

I turn around surprised, well maybe I shouldn't be surprised to see Granger walking towards me with a book in her hand. Looks like she's coming back from a quick stop at the library before breakfast, "Do you have to sneak up on people like that?" I ask with a glare. I don't like being surprised, or overheard.

She smiles as we make it to the dining room, "I'm sorry."

I look at her suspiciously as I sit down at the table. Why is she being nice to me?! I wonder what it could be, as I pile the food on my plate. She senses my question and mumbles to herself, 'that she knew that tactic wouldn't work', before looking at my with a pleading look.

I give her a questioning look, but she speaks before I can say anything, "Don't say no until you've thought it through. okay Draco?" She pauses and takes a deep breath, "I know you're not going to like this, but I have a HUGE favor to ask of you." She glances at me nervously, "Tomorrow is the weekly Wealsey dinner, and I'm supposed to bring you since we're getting married and all. Mrs. Wealsey just wants to try and smooth things out between you and the guys before the wedding, or at least try. Everyone has to invite their partners." She finishes and looks down at her plate. Almost with a look that says she's afraid of me, or how I'm about to react.

Why did she have to be friends with the WEASLEY'S of all the wizarding families on the entire continent. I look up and notice for the first time that my mum is at the table. She's glaring at me. Daring me to say no, great. It looks like I don't have a choice.

"What time will we be leaving?" I ask in defeat. "Do I need to get off work early?"

She whips her head up and smiles, "No when you get home from work will be a fine time."

…

Why on earth did I agree to come to this? Everyone's going to hate me. I hold my breath as Mione opens the tarnished looking door. I mean I REALLY don't care what they think of me, but it would probably upset Mione if I didn't at least try and act semi pleasant.

"Behave," she says and grabs my forearm to brings me inside. It's not like I couldnt have came in on my own. I look around and see Weaslette, some Gryffindor whose name I don't remember, and Loony talking at the table, but they stop in shock when they see us.

"It was brave of you to come," Says Looney. I nod in response.

"Wow Mione, I really thought you were joking when you said you talked him into coming!" Ginny says as she stands up cautiously.

"Oh Ginny!" Mione sounds excited, "Look at you! I can't believe you're already nine monthes!" She finishes as she walks over and gives her a hug. She says hello to Luna and Lavender, and they all sit down and begin talking. I stand there awkwardly for a second when suddenly someone is leading me towards the doorway on the far wall.

"It was so nice of you to come here with Hermione. Why don't you come out here dear, and socialize with the rest of the men?" She leads me into another shabby looking room and towards a sofa, with someone who I had never seen before, on it. I sit down and she turns to leave, but not before she glares at Ron telling him to behave.

Great, now I'm completely alone with Weasel, Potter, and some stranger. I look around to see Ron and Harry playing a game of wizards chess on a tattered chess board. It appeared they were ignoring me so I gladly do the same. I turned to the dark hair man next to me and ask in my most polite refined pureblood voice, "Hello, I'm Draco Malfoy. And you are?"

He smiles, and shakes my hand, "Rolf Scamander, nice to meet you. I'm Luna's assigned partner."

I tried not to laugh, but that was sure a funny way to explain the marriage law, "I'm with Hermione Granger."

"Oh how nice-" he starts but is cut off.

"You are not WITH Hermione you bloody prat!" Weasel explodes.

I raise my eyebrow, "Then what would YOU call living together Weasel?" I asked calmly.

"How can you say you're with her when you were so terrible to her for so long!" He practically shouts.

Harry is just sitting there debating his next move, but Rolf is a bit surprised. I didn't say anything. Ha Mione, and you thought I wouldn't try and behave! Look at me now.

"You're an bloody, arrogant, git, and she deserves better than you! She has always hated you and always will!" He yells.

I know she deserves better, but he can't tell me what HER feelings are. Bloody bastard

I stand up and walk towards him, "Oh yeah, and how do you know that? Did she happen to talk to you about it?"

He glares at me and his face starts to turn purple. Out of the corner of my eyes I see the crowd coming in from the kitchen. I wonder how much they've heard.

"I JUST KNOW!" He yells and punches me in the jaw. I fall back a bit. I throw a punch, and surprisingly make some contact. I hit my head on something as I fall, but I pull my wand out, sit up, and try and catch my breath from the fall.

I hear a couple of screams, and I see that Potter is holding Weasley, so he can't come after me. I put my wand down since there's no one about to attack me. I'm too tired to hold up my wand arm. I lay back down. I'm so dizzy.

…

"Oh just move out of the way you incompetent fool, we don't have all day! I'll just do it!" I hear a very familiar voice saying.

I try and sit up, but I can't. My head hurts. I just open my eyes instead. There's Mione working on mixing a small cup. She looks up with a satisfied smile and stops, "You're up?! It's been a couple hours! Finally! How do you feel? It was just a concussion, and a bloody lip, but you blacked out. Since we were all coming here anyways, I thought I'd have you fixed up properly!"

I open my mouth to talk but she starts talking again, "You would have been fine if you hadn't tried to throw a punch, and had just got your balance back. Then that stupid table. Tell me how you feel!" She finished impatiently.

"You're not mad at me?" I asked confused, because she's talking so much. I mean I had fought with Ron.

She gives me a small smile, "I figured we wouldn't get to eat. Rolf told us everything that happened, so I know you tried your hardest to keep your temper. I was actually quite proud of you. I just wanted you to show that you're trying, and Mrs. Weasley noticed."

I smile, "Stupid Weasel shouldn't have said you hated me."

"Now, how do you feel?!" She asks yet again, almost as if she wants the subject changed. "You worried me."

"My head just hurts. I'm fine really," I say trying to act like it's nothing.

"Well, drink this! I must be off to see how Ginny is getting along. I AM delivering her baby! Who would have thought that tonight would be the night her Doctor calls in sick!" She laughs, then turns to me and looks at me expectantly.

I sigh, and drink the odd colored drink. I sputter, "What is that?!"

"You'll be able to get out of bed in about an hour. If I hear you give any nurse a hard time I will not hesitate to call your mother for back up. Oh, and as soon as they say you're free to go, come find me in Ginny's room."

I nod my head, but then hold it because that was quite painful. Wow, what that was bloody brill Draco! Nod your head after you have a concussion.

She looks at me nervously, "I'm sorry I have to go so soon, but I really need to get back"

"Just go," As I lay back down. I show her I can be obedient, so she doesn't contact my mum!

…

I waited my hour, and then some because the stupid nurses kept asking me questions. Why the bloody hell wouldn't I remember what had happened to make me come here?! So, here I am TRYING to find Mione, but she never actually said where Ginny's room was There's a red head!

I follow him with a fair distance between us because he looks a little wild. I dont need to make sure, it's obvious he's a Weasley, just look at his hair. He has what look like giant burns on his arms, and long red hair. He eventually comes to a room full of Weasley's. See, I waas right!

"Charlie! You're right on time! She just had him. Isn't he precious?!" I heard Mrs. Weasley saying. "James Sirius Potter!"

I decide to lean on the wall across from the room. They don't want me in there. Suddenly Mione comes out of the room looking as if she's deep in thought. I stand up to greet her but she's already heading in another direction. I follow her, but am cut off by a nurse with a cart.

"Watch where you're going," she says a bit annoyed.

"'scuse me," I say over my shoulder, as I'm trying to catch up with Mione.

I see her going into the stairs, and hurry after her. I rush up the stairs, and just see the door on an another floor closing. Hopefully I'm not following some random person. I spot her down the hall turning into a room, so I decide to go see who she's visiting.

*HM pov*

Today has been the most stressful/weird day. work was awful because David's chemo still isn't going well, then Ron and Draco got in fist fight. When Draco fell and hit his head and didn't wake up. I was scared. Then Ginny went into labor

Why was I scared?! It was just Malfoy. I keep telling myself that, but recently. Oh My Merlin. Who am I KIDDING! I'm falling for Draco, DRACO MALFOY. I stand at the end of Ginny's bed deep in thought. How could this happen?

I can't THINK with all this talking around me. I find my way through all the Weasley's and leave the room. I have to find somewhere to think. I automatically run to David's room. It's late, so I won't disturb him

I walk into the room. He's sound asleep. His family must have gone home. He looks a pale and that worries me. I remember my dream with David and Draco. Do I connect them? Why did David turn into Draco. I feel the tears sliding down my face. I just don't know anymore. I'm supposed to hate Draco, but I obviously don't. What will everyone say? I'm so stressed out right now. I just can't go back up there to celebrate the new baby.

I look at David lying there so small, and I feel alone. Draco obviously doesn't even feel the same way. I don't have to worry about telling the others about my crazy feelings I've been denying. He's probably flirting with some nurse right now. The tears are coming more rapidly, and I let out a sob.

I hear someone behind me, and am about to turn around when I feel someone wrap their arms around me, "I know it's been a tough day Mione, but I'm sure he'll be fine."

I turn around and face a very worried Draco, "Who?" I ask quietly.

"The sick boy you came to visit," He said as if it were obvious.

I nod my head, and start to cry harder. Why is he being so nice? He pulls me close and hugs me tighter, "It's okay Mione, I'm here."

He is here, and it feels nice and safe. Now I know that I really do like him. wow, I'm fucked.

Well?! Please review!
