Okay, so, yeah it's been like a year and a half since I last updated this and I am so sorry! But I had the urge to write, so here you go. I hope you like it & and I hope I still have some readers that are out there following along. Love ya guys :)

Hermione woke with a horrible feeling in the pit of her stomach. As she lay in bed she wondered what had her so shaken. Her relationship with Harry for the most part was good, she and Draco were getting along, she had made head student, and she was in her last year at Hogwarts. She knew she should be ecstatic.

"That's what's wrong." Hermione stated after she sat up in bed. That pit in the bottom of her stomach wasn't a bad feeling, she was sick. She gathered herself as quick as possible, ran to the bathroom, and immediately began throwing up into the toilet bowl. Draco woke to the sound of Hermione vomiting. Concerned, he got of bed to check on her.

"Granger, what's wrong?" Draco asked still sleepily rubbing his eyes as he stood in the doorway of the bathroom where Hermione was slouched over on the floor. Her curly brown hair was tossed up into a loose bun and her skin looked much paler than normal.

"Don't come in here, Malfoy. I don't want you to see me like this." Hermione said wiping the side of her mouth.

"Don't be ridiculous!" Draco continued into the bathroom. "How did you get sick?" He asked as he fixed the placement of her tank top strap that had fallen from her shoulder slightly down her arm. Draco noticed as his hand connected with her skin that her body temperature was much higher than it should have been.

"I have no idea." Hermione responded. "I just woke up feeling horrible." Even being sick Hermione couldn't ignore Draco's current state. As he was squatted down beside her, she took a moment to look at each muscle on his bare chest and stomach. Slowly her eyes drifted downward noticing he was only wearing a pair of green boxers. Inadvertently her eyes locked on the rather large bulge that his boxers weren't doing a very good job of hiding. Draco suddenly laughed.

"Even when you're sick, you're still thinking dirty thoughts about me. I'm a guy, Granger, this is how I wake up." Draco said pointing at his erection. Hermione began to laugh but turned her head back to the toilet and began to vomit again.

"I'll go get you a bottle of water."

Draco continued taking care of Hermione all morning. Eventually he carried her to the couch in the common area, where he convinced her, after much debate, not to go to classes today.

"I will come check you between classes." Draco said handing Hermione another bottle of water. "You need to get your fever down."

"Malfoy, why are you taking care of me?" Hermione asked shyly. She had been wondering all morning what was going on with him. Sure, they weren't at each other's necks all the time, and they clearly had an attraction to each other, but this was different and Hermione knew it.

"Honestly, because I know if this was the other way around, you would do the same thing for me." And with that Draco left for class.

"He's not a bad person." Hermione said aloud as she sat alone.

Draco sat in Defense Against the Dark Arts class extremely fixated on the pair seated in front of him. This was his third class of the day and he had already been back to his room to check on Hermione twice. She didn't seem to be getting much better. Draco suggested that she go see Madam Pomfrey but Hermione refused, saying her sickness would pass. Hermione had asked him what Harry said about her being gone. Draco lied and told her that Harry said he would come see her as soon as he got a long enough break between classes.

But Harry and the new girl he met yesterday, Sarah, were seated next to each other in class. They were laughing and chatting without a care in the world. This irritated Draco to no end. Harry had yet to ask Draco where Hermione was, and he had no way of knowing that she was sick. Draco took this as a sign that Harry didn't care about Hermione as much as he said he did.

"Hey, Malfoy." Sarah said smiling as she turned around towards Draco. Her pin straight blonde hair was in such contrast against her black robes. Draco took note of how sultry she looked even completely covered up.

"Hello." Draco responded with a smirk. He noticed Harry glaring towards him, so he shot a glare back.

"I know there is the whole Gryffindor Slytherin rivalry but you guys really don't like each other, huh?" Sarah asked.

"Let's just say, Malfoy is a prick." Harry stated plainly.

"I'm a prick? While you're over here flirting with your new friend, your girlfriend that you supposedly say you care so much about is back in our room sick as a dog, and you hadn't even noticed she wasn't here. I think that makes you a prick." Harry's eyes got wide as he took in what Draco said.

"Oh my god Hermione is sick? I can't believe I hadn't realized." Harry said instantly feeling horrible about himself. "I have to go see her."

"Yeah you probably should. And oh yeah, I covered for you." Draco responded.

"What?" Harry asked confused.

"I told her you asked about her and when I told you she was sick you said you'd go check in on her when you had a long enough break between classes."

"Why? Why did you cover for me?"

"She already feels like shit, I didn't want to make it worse by her realizing her boyfriend forgot about her."

Harry sat there for a moment looking a Draco a bit confused, but then quickly got up and left to check on Hermione. He didn't care that he may get in trouble by his professor he just wanted to make sure Hermione was okay. As Harry walked to Hermione's room he thought back to Draco.

"Maybe he's not a bad person." Harry said aloud to himself.
