Friday Late Evening

Hermione was at the hospital only moments after Draco himself arrived in an ambulance. By now he had regained consciousness and was looking around a little bewildered, when it occurred to him that he was being wheeled into a muggle hospital Draco figured Hermione had come home.

At the reception desk

"He's my friend, I need to go in with him, trust me he'll get aggressive if I'm not in there." Hermione was currently arguing with the woman behind the reception desk who refused to let her into the emergency ward because she did not arrive with Draco. Hermione continued to argue until she figured she'd just sit down and let the hospital find out how Draco could be when he wasn't happy, of course she knew all about that after being on the receiving end for many of her few years. As if on cue a young looking doctor came running out from behind the door leading to the ward.

"Where's Hermione Granger?" he asked his eyes flying around the room whilst talking to the reception lady. She gave him a strange look before pointing out Hermione who was adjusting herself in the uncomfortable waiting room seat. The young, quite scared looking man came running in Hermione's direction.

"Are you Hermione Granger?" he asked looking desperate.

"Yes, why?" She asked trying to stop the smile spreading across her face.

"Um, well Mr. Malfoy is asking for you…" the doctor trailed off with an uncomfortable, embarrassed smile answering her own amused one.

"Oh, now why would Mr. Malfoy being asking for me do you think?" Hermione asked loud enough for the reception lady to hear.

"Well, accually asking is a very polite way of saying what he's doing," the young doctor explained, "he's more yelling and threatening people with their lives."

"Oh, you mean Mr. Malfoy got angry and aggressive?" Hermione asked again loud enough for the reception lady to hear. After this Hermione looked over at the desk wishing that she could poke her tongue out at the sour old cow, who, was currently giving her dirties across the waiting room.

"Please Miss. Granger just come out here and make him relax" the young man asked grabbing her arm just above the elbow and pulling Hermione to her feet.

The young doctor pulled Hermione through the doors into the emergency ward and practically ran all the way to where they were keeping Draco. Before they'd even rounded the corner into the right hallway Hermione could hear Draco yelling obscenities and, as the doctor had said, threatening to kill someone unless Hermione Granger was brought to him immediately. Hermione couldn't help smiling as she walked up the hall; it was just nice to know Draco was alive and at least somewhat well. Hermione came to the doorway to see Draco refusing an abdominal examination.

"My God Draco, stop being so difficult, they're just trying to help you, you stubborn git" Hermione managed between giggles at the scene before her, there was Draco half lying, half sitting on the hospital bed, shirt pulled up, two female nurses trying to restrain him long enough for a doctor to do the abdominal.

"Hermione Granger don't even think about laughing at me or I will feel the need to get up and do something bad to you" Draco replied relaxing into the bed now that Hermione was here to make sure that they didn't kill him.

"Um, I don't know if this is the best time but could I please have a moment alone with Draco?" Hermione said smiling a very cute smile at the young doctor who had brought her to the room. However, the doctors and nurses didn't need asking twice, they were moving before the sentence was finished. "Draco you need to learn some relaxation techniques, you looked like you were going to kill them."

"They were trying to touch me with their filthy muggle hands" Draco said an air of the man Hermione knew and hated.

"Pull your head in Malfoy. I'll do an exam, I've been training with Madam Pomfrey in my spare time, once I've got an idea of what you need I'll let them back in let them do their thing listen to what they have to say. Then when we get home I'll decide on a treatment plan, OK?" Hermione said in a tone that ment there was no discussion on the topic. Then she reached out and began to feel his lower torso, running her fingers over his abbs feeling for anything out of the ordinary, trying not to notice the amazing way his flexed muscles looked while she touched them.

"Ah"

"There?"

"Yeah, ah, right there. SHIT Hermione could you go a bit easy on them, it really hurts" Draco said wincing in pain as Hermione ran her fingers over a particularly nasty looking bruise.

"What happened Draco?" She asked looking into his eyes searching for a reason for their being there.

"Oh, I thought you might have figured it out already," Draco said a little hint of resentment for having to say it out loud, "my father came for a visit."

Hermione looked at Draco for a second searching his eyes hoping beyond all hope that this was some kind of sick joke that he'd been playing on her since day one, but all she could see was embarrassment and a little relief. He wasn't joking, Lucius Malfoy had been in her house, he'd been there and he'd hurt Draco, badly. Hermione was scared for the first time in a long time…

A/N: Hopefully that was ok, I just made it up as I went…the best part is I've got a good idea of the next chapter…YAY!! Now I have to say REVIEW, because this story has over 17 thousand hits and nowhere near that many reviews, truthfully I don't care what you write just write something…flame me, I don't care.
