She walked into her room and was about to sit down on her bed when she remembered she had something to tell Draco. She turned around and started walking out of her room. She was at the top of the stairs when she heard a loud crashing noise from the living room.

She ran down the stairs and found Draco passed out and his head bleeding. She quickly ran to his side and examined his head. He must have passed out and hit his head on the table. She said to herself as she looked him over. The cut on his head was deep so she grabbed her wand and healed him.

There was a horribly painful throbbing in Draco’s head when he woke up. He slowly pried on of his eyes open testing the light in the room. It wasn’t very bright so he opened his eye all the way. He looked around and realized he was laying in his bed in his own room. How the hell did I get here?? He thought. And why the fuck does my head hurt so much??

Once his eyes had fully adjusted to the light in the room he looked around. He notice Hermione sitting in a big chair next to his bed. She looks so peaceful when she sleeps. She was holding a book in her hand and snoring very lightly.

Draco started to sit up but stopped when his head began to throb more. He managed to sit himself up just a little so he wasn’t laying flat any more.

After his head stopped bounding a little he leaned over and shook Hermione very lightly. Her eyes popped open and her book fell to the ground.

“Draco!” she said in shock and relief on her face and in her tone.

“Is that my name??” He asked playfully.

“Oh god! You don’t remember your name!?” she half shouted. “That is not good.” She said jumping out of her chair.

“Calm down Hermione!” He said quickly. “I was just messing with you.”

She frowned and glared at him before sitting back down. “That was so not funny. I was really worried about you!” she told him.

“You were worried about mer?” he asked with his trademark smirk.

She thought about lying and saying that she was just kidding but she didn’t want to lie. She wanted him to know that she really was worried about him. “Yes, I really was.” She said quietly.

He was a little shocked to hear her say that and he really didn’t know what to say. There was a long silent pause before Draco finally asked. “So what happened?”

Hermione had been looking around the room but her eyes darted to him at his words. “You don’t remember?” she asked.

He shook his head. “Wells what’s the last thing you remember?” She asked him.

He smirked. “The last thing I remember is telling Pansy to get the fuck out of my house.”

“Oh...yeah...well after that I walked back to my room when I remembered I had something to tell you. I was back to the top of the stairs when I heard a loud bang. I ran down the stairs and found you on the floor. You passes out and hit your head when you fell but I healed your head and brought you up here. You’ve been asleep for the past 5 hours or so.” She explained to him.

“What do you think caused it?” He asked her.

“I think it was the VL. Your heart rate was so high when you were yelling at Pansy it caused you to pass out.” She explained.

“Oh...I see...” he really didn’t know what else to say. He looked around his room and his eyes stopped at the window where he could see the moon.

“Why did you do it?” Hermione asked very quietly.

“Why did I do what?” He asked confused.

“Why did you defend me to Pansy? I thought you were friends.” she said.

He sighed. “Because your a good person and you don’t deserve to be talked to like that.” Hermione was surprised by his honestly but a smile smile spread on her face. “Plus I have always hated Pansy.” He hates Pansy?? She thought.

“So your not...um...together?” she asked.

“Me and Pansy?” he said in disgust. “Hell no! She is way to clingy and close minded and beyond annoying!” Hermione looked down at her hands. She didn’t want him to see her smile.

They were both quiet for a few minutes. “So what did you want to tell me earlier?” Draco asked her.

“Oh thats right!...I keep forgetting! I made some progress on my research with my boss. I have a potion I want you to try in a few days when your feeling better.” she told him with excitement.

“Really?” He wanted to be excited but he didn’t want to get his hopes up.

“Yes, I mean its no guarantee but its worth a try.” She told him understanding his lack of excitement.

“I guess it is.” He said. They both just stared at each other for a little before Hermione looked away. “Um...well I want you to get more steep and I’m going to go for a swim.” She quickly stood up and walked to the door. Before walking out she turned a looked back at him. “And that means stay in bed!” He chuckled sending a chill of excitement down her spine. I love when he does that. She thought as she walked out of the room.

She walked back to her room and changed into her bathing-suit. She loved to swim but she didn’t have a pool at her house.

Draco did as he was told and stayed in bed for a little bit but he was not tired enough to sleep any more. His head had stop hurting so he got up and walked over to his window.

He saw Hermione swimming and just stat there watching her go back and forth. He watched as she got out of the he was to high to see her very well but he saw her looking around the back yard.

Then she did something he never would have expected her to do. She took off her bathing suit.

Fuck!...I can’t see anything!! He thought as she jumped into the pool again. This is why I need to wear my glasses!!

He looked around his room for his glasses, which know one knew he wore. After about 15 minute he finally found them but when he got back to the window Hermione was just wrapping her towel around herself.

To late!...damn...He frowned. Some day!...some day very soon...
