Chapter 4

Hermione woke the next day with a pounding headache. She groaned and rolled over to see Draco at his desk sleeping and someone standing beside him. Whoever it was, he was very short and had big ears. Hermione tried to focus her eyes in the dark. It was a house elf! He turned towards Hermione and smiled. He bowed slightly and cautiously stepped towards Hermione.

"Who are you?" Hermione asked.

"Dobby, miss." The house elf said with a low bow.

"Hello, Dobby." Hermione said with a slight bow of her head. Hermione was used to having servants, but she loved them like they were her family. She wasn't a spoiled brat who was mean to or took advantage of her servants.

"How are you feeling this morning, miss?" Dobby asked.

"I feel a lot better. Did you heal me?"

"No, miss. Draco did it, miss."

"Really?" She asked as she looked over to the sleeping Draco.

"Yes, miss. Master Malfoy stayed up all night taking care of you, miss."

Hermione was surprised. She did see his face before she passed out and he looked worried, but she never thought he would take care of her like that. Hermione was lost in thought when Draco stirred. 'He's waking up…' Hermione thought.

"Miss?" Dobby asked to get her attention.

"Huh? Oh, thank you, Dobby," Hermione said with a sweet smile.

Dobby smiled at her before bowing and running out of the room. Hermione didn't know what to say or do. She hated that that stupid human scum got the drop on her. She never expected him to attack her when she turned away. Vampires didn't do that in a match. It was considered a disgrace to whoever did something like that. She knew humans were different, but that was…

"Hermione?" Draco asked. Hermione turned her attention to Draco who was now awake and staring at her. He seemed to be still half asleep.

"Good morning, Draco," Hermione said as she tried to stand up. She was suddenly yanked by something around her neck onto the bed. Confused, she looked back to what was holding her. It was a freakin leash! "What the..." was all that she could say.

"From now on, you will be on that leash," Draco said. He stretched and stood up.

"What?! I'm not a pet! And I'm definitely not a DOG!" Hermione yelled at him.

"Maybe you're not a dog, but you are something like my pet. And you can't behave, so you will be on that leash," Draco said as calmly as he could.

"I am NOT a PET! And I'm NOT wearing this...thing!"

"Yes you are! You tried to run away, and when I let you off, you started a fight!"

"He started the fight!"

"You did when you told the girls about his cheating." Draco untied her leash from the bed and held it tightly in his hand.

"They needed to know, and I didn't tell them! I pointed out Blaise to Daphne and they did the rest."

"It doesn't matter! You don't behave when you're not on a leash!"

"You…you…agh! I can't believe I actually liked you!"

"What?"

"Forget it!"

"Fine, let's go," Draco said as he rolled his eyes. Draco wondered what exactly she had meant. Did she just like him and accept him? Or did she…nah, there's no way…right?
