Chapter Seventeen
Chapter Seventeen
Ron walked her back, him noticing her face showing some strain. They stopped in front of her portrait. “You okay Hermione, need any help at all?”
“No, that’s okay Ron. I’ll just drink a bit of the potion Pomfrey gave me and head straight to bed.” She touched his arm. “I’ll be okay.” in reassurance.
Ron reluctantly turned to go as Hermione said the password to her rooms. When she walked into their common room, she saw that Draco was sitting in front of the fire reading his book.
He looked up when he heard her come through the entryway. “Hey Granger, done your celebrating already?”
“Yeah, I’m beat. I think I’m going to go to bed.” As she slowly made her way to her bedroom.
Draco saw the pain she was trying to hide, as she gingerly made her way to her rooms. He waited a few minutes until he thought she would be in bed, then went to her door and peeked in to see her sitting on the edge of her bed, tears running down her cheeks.
She looked up at him. “I can’t change and I can’t open this bottle of potion I need to take. Could you help me please?”
Draco was already on his way to her side before she even finished asking. He carefully took off her sling while she slipped her good arm through the t-shirt. He helped her lift her left arm where he gingerly slipped her shirt off showing she was wearing a black bra.
She smiled at the hesitation of his hands. “I dug out a buttoned nightshirt, I figured it would be easier. You’re going to have to unclip the bra at my back.”
She stood up as he came around her back. She felt his fingers lightly graze her bruised shoulder before she felt him lightly kiss the tender area. He slid her bra off and helped her put the nightshirt on where Hermione tugged the front closed. He came around and helped her button her shirt, his fingers grazing her smooth skin. He then felt his way under the long shirt to the snap of her jeans. He undid them, then knelt down to slowly ease them down her legs.
“Hey Malfoy, while you’re down there....” She said suggestively.
“Although that sounds very tempting, and believe me the thought did cross my mind..... you need your sleep.” As he stood up to pull the covers back from the bed to help her in. “Whe the the potion you need to take?”
She pointed to the nightstand. “Pomfrey said to take a couple of spoonfuls and I should feel quite a bit less pain tomorrow. I guess, when I sleep the bones will heel faster.”
He helped her take the potion and was about to leave, when she grasped the back of his shirt. “Draco, stay with me.” She pleaded softly.
He looked at her laying there, her eyes already heavy with needed sleep. “Okay, I’ll be right back.” He quickly went to his rooms and changed into his pajama bottoms and went back to Hermione who was sitting up waiting for him.
He layed on her right side as she snuggled into his side, laying her cheek on his naked chest, while she carefully placed her left arm on him. He put his one arm around her waist being careful not to nudge her shoulder while he held her hand that lay on his chest. In short time, he felt her breathing deeply, indicating she was asleep. Sleep was a long time coming for him, as she drew her leg along his in her sleep.
Hermione woke up feeling disorientated a bit, to feel the even breathing of a very naked chest under her cheek. She moved her left arm testing it to see how it felt. There was a slight tinge of pain, but it felt a lot better than last night. One more night, and it should be good as new. She leaned up looking at Draco, while he slept, and leaned over to kiss the corner of his mouth. He pulled her closer as he slept on. She leaned more on him and kissed him fully on his mouth, running her tongue along his bottom lip.
He woke up feeling her lips on his and her warm body pressed close to his. He ran his fingers up to the back of her neck, tangling them in her hair, drawing her lips closer.
She pulled back reluctantly, her breathing unstable. “Time to get up Malfoy.” she said huskily.
He smiled up at her. “What if we just skip classes today and stay in bed. I’m sure we can find something to occupy our day.”
She laughed, kissing his soft lips one last time as she got up, keeping pressure off her one shoulder.
Draco sat up, and placed his feet on the floor, “So, how’s your shoulder this morning?” He asked as he stood up and stretched. “Need help getting dressed?” he said hopefully.
“I think I can manage. If all else fails, I’ll use my wand. Anyway, if you help, we’ll be late for breakfast.” She said as she left the room. Draco watched her leave thinking how sexy she looked in the morning, her hair tousled and her long legs showing underneath the oversized shirt.
Hermione had to only use her wand a couple of times in the process of getting dressed, while Draco waited for her, just in case. She put her arm pack in the sling and made her way down to breakfast with her book bag clutched in her right hand.
The rest of the day went by smoothly with Harry and Draco close by in case she needed a hand. The professors were patient at her awkwardness. In potions, Professor Snape partnered her up with Draco so she wouldn’t cause more damage to herself. She would read the instructions while Draco stirred in the ingredients and poured the ending potion into beakers to be graded.
At the end of the day, Hermione sighed in relief. She appreciated the help today, but it was beginning to fray on her nerves. She enjoyed a quiet few hours while Draco was trying out a new beater for the quiddich team. She grabbed up her book and snuggled into the corner of the couch, while Crookshanks curled up beside her, to quickly immerse herself in the story. When the words started to blur before her eyes, she put down her book and closed her eyes, where she soon drifted off to sleep.
Draco came in later to see her fast asleep on the couch, with her cat curled up beside her. He covered her with the blanket as he went to have a shower and to do some of the homework that was assigned today before it was time for bed. He considered waking her up and putting her to bed, and maybe joining her again, but she was asleep and looked comfortable where she was, so he left her there to sleep.
Ron walked her back, him noticing her face showing some strain. They stopped in front of her portrait. “You okay Hermione, need any help at all?”
“No, that’s okay Ron. I’ll just drink a bit of the potion Pomfrey gave me and head straight to bed.” She touched his arm. “I’ll be okay.” in reassurance.
