Just a friendly reminder that I do not own Harry Potter.
This is quite a short chapter but I hope you guys still like it :)
Read and review!
Love lots, TheMalfoys
Draco's eyes widened almost comically. How can this girl be Hermione Granger? Where did her bushy hair and large front teeth go? He swept his eyes through her petite profile once again, still not sure if he really believes this girl who claims to be the Hermione Granger.
He brought his eyes up back to her face, surprised to see it blushing scarlet. He smirked. It seems like Healer Granger isn't used to receiving attention, well that explains the awkwardness that seem to exude from her pictures in the daily prophet's articles about the triumph of the light side.
He risked a glance at her chocolate eyes, only to find her staring at him. He stared right back, transfixed. He just couldn't look away, it was like a switch was turned on signaling the onset of tension to make itself known. He can feel small shocks of electricity surrounding him making him sensitive to touch. What is happening to him?
He noticed her part her lips, running her tongue through her lower lip making it moist. Ah, so she can feel it too. He thought, distracted with her lips. Maybe she can tell me what's happening, she is a healer after all. He gazed back into her eyes, admiring how bright and child like it looks. She has such beautiful eyes, they were the brown and endearing. And no, not the muddy type of brown he had seen on so many girls before. Hers was different, it reminded him of his favorite chocolate treat when he was a young lad. The gooey chocolate lava inside the cake that he always devoured with his hands, earning him a good whack on the arse whenever his father would catch him with dirty fingers and sticky robes.
He was brought out of his reverie when her eyes left his. Growling softly, he followed the direction of her gaze to her fellow healer. What's her name again? Panda something? She went to Hogwarts with them, did she not? She must've entered the room when we were. . . uh preoccupied. He thought.
"I brought your orange juice with me." She said addressing Scorpius.
Scorpius happily smiled.
Hermione cleared her throat, as if that would help in clearing her cloudy mind.
"Ready to drink your potions?" she asked Scorpius while smiling.
"And my orange juice?" Scorpius added.
She laughed, attracting Draco's attention. What is with this woman that seems to affect him so much?
"And your orange juice." She confirmed.
He watched Hermione prepare the vials, pulling the stoppers and placing them gently on the table, ready for Scorpius to drink.
His mind drifts back to what had happened a couple of minutes ago. What in the world was that all about? He shook his head, trying desperately to straighten his thoughts. He has to get out of the room, the tension is almost too much for him.
He glanced at Scorpius, making sure he was ok and being taken care of. He clears his throat to get the healers' attention.
"I think I'll wait outside, if that's alright. Will Scorpius be ok?"
"Of course ! We'll make sure that he's back to tiptop shape when you get back." Panda the healer answered him.
He looked at Hermione as if asking her if what the other healer said was true.
She flushed and nodded. Turning her head abruptly and focusing her eyes instead on the vials she was holding.
Draco scurried out of the small room, wanting to be relieved of the electricity charged atmosphere inside it.
Outside the ward, he found himself leaning on the sickening white walls near the door. With a huge sigh and a frustrated groan, he ran both of his hands through his hair for what seemed like the thousandth time in the last twenty four hours.
Draco Malfoy's really having a very bad day.
Thanks for all the reviews. I love reading them so much :)
