Chapter 11- The Next Day and Draco Returns
Hermione awoke the next morning. The memories of the night before and her confrontation with Lucius Malfoy came rushing back. She curled up with her pillow and began crying.
‘If anyone is listening up there, please, please watch over Draco and bring him back to his friends and I. We miss him so much.’ Hermione prayed as she cried.
Severus came walking out of the bathroom and heard the soft sobs of his daughter. Slowly he walked to her door and knocked. After hearing her say enter, he walked in. It nearly broke his heart to find his only child crying into her pillow. He slowly approached her, sat beside her and pulled the crying young woman into his arms.
“Sshh. Everything’s going to be fine honey. Lucius can’t hurt you now. Draco will be just fine as well. You and he will get married on March 15th. I swear on my life Hermione.” Severus whispered as he stroked her hair.
“Why is this happening dad? First I lose mom, then you, I get you back, Draco gets hurt and then Lucius tries to kill me. When will this end?” Hermione sobbed.
“Soon. Harry is growing stronger by the day. He will defeat Voldemort. I just know it. Soon this nightmare will be over. For all of us.” Severus answered softly.
Father and daughter sat there holding each other for a few minutes. Finally Hermione got control of herself. She then gathered a change of clothes and headed for the bathroom. Severus entered the sitting room and ordered them breakfast. He knew she wouldn’t be ready to face the school just yet.
Thirty minutes later Hermione came out wearing a long black skirt, a white button up blouse with a green cardigan over it. Her long black hair was pulled up in a French twist. They ate the food silently. After the food was gone, they left the chambers and made their way to the hospital wing.
“Severus, Hermione? I thought you would be returning tomorrow night.” Poppy said in surprise.
“We were. That was until…honey, go see Draco. All right.” Severus said.
Hermione nodded and went to her fiancée’s bedside. Severus pulled Poppy into her office. Once they were both seated, Severus continued his story.
“Last night Lucius showed up at the cottage Jocelyn and I lived at. He was going to kill Hermione. Luckily she screamed and I came in. He’s now at the Ministry. I’m hoping to hear back soon about his trial. He stupidly told Hermione that he himself, had killed Joce. Now, he’s going to pay for his crimes.” Severus explained.
“Oh Severus. Thank Merlin you and Hermione weren’t hurt. At least Jocelyn’s murderer will face justice.” Poppy said as she patted Severus’s arm.
Back outside, Hermione sat beside Draco. Talking to him softly and stroking his blond locks. He looked so peaceful. All she wanted was for him to open his beautiful eyes. To wake up. She needed him now.
“Please Draco. Please, open your eyes.” she whispered as she leaned over and gently kissed his cheek.
“Hmmm. Herm…Hermione.” a soft whisper said.
Hermione gasped as she sat back up and looked down at Draco. She watched as slowly his eyes began to open. Draco blinked a few times before he focused on his fiancee beside him.
“Hermione, what happened? Where am I? Draco asked.
“I can’t…you’re really…Dad! Madame Pomphrey!” Hermione stuttered.
Severus and Poppy came rushing over. They froze in shock as they saw Draco staring back at them. A confused expression on his face.
“Welcome back Mr. Malfoy.” Poppy said with a smile.
“Draco, you’re finally awake.” Severus said as he patted his godson’s leg.
“Thanks. Now will someone tell me what happened and why I’m in the infirmary?” Draco asked as he began to sit up.
Poppy went to send word to Albus and fetch something to eat and drink for Draco. Severus and Hermione told him how Pansy had sabotaged his potion, that he’d been unconscious for the past week. He was also told that Pansy’s trial was in two weeks and about Lucius showing up the night before.
“Thank god you weren’t hurt.” Draco sighed as he hugged Hermione tightly.
“I know. Now that you’re awake, are you going to the Pansy’s trial with me, dad, Ron and Harry?” Hermione asked.
“Yes. I want that…that bitch to pay.” Draco said harshly.
“She will. Now, Poppy said you’re free to go. She also sent one of the house elves to bring some fresh clothes. Grab a shower and then you and Hermione go find your friends.” Severus said.
Draco grabbed his clothes and rushed for the bathroom. Forty five minutes later Severus watched with a smile as Hermione and Draco rushed out of the hospital wing. The two found Ron, Harry and Ginny outside sitting by the lake studying.
“Any room for us?” Draco asked as he and Hermione approached them.
“DRACO!” the three called out.
Ginny hugged and kissed Draco’s cheek while Ron and Harry shook his hand and gave him a brotherly hug. Hermione quickly told them about Lucius. They were relieved he was caught and that Hermione and Severus weren’t hurt.
“So, you’re going to pug face’s trial with us right?” Harry asked.
“Yes. I can’t wait to see her get what she deserves.” Draco answered.
The five returned to Gryffindor Tower where Draco was eagerly welcomed back. The afternoon was spent with friends and helping Draco get caught up in his classes, which wasn’t hard. At dinner, everyone, save the Slytherins, welcomed Draco back with warm smiles and hugs. Things seemed to be looking up at last for everyone.
