Imperiused (Dramione)

January 1999

Hermione Granger woke up half of her body lying on Draco's. She opened her eyes slowly as she felt the urge to go to the bathroom. She saw Draco Malfoy's face almost touching hers when she opened her eyes fully. Her arm was around his torso and her legs entangled on his.

She felt herself blush as she saw and felt their current position. Her head was on Draco's shoulder and his arm was encircling her upper body. He was still sleeping peacefully as she gazed up at him.

This was probably why I slept so comfortably last night, she thought to herself as she tried to get up without waking him up. But instead of getting up, her body fell downwards towards the bed as he shifted his weight towards her.

Draco was still sleeping soundly, not knowing that his movement caused Hermione to be trapped under him. She couldn't move because he was too heavy for her.

Oddly, their closeness did not bother her at all but her body welcomed his warmth. She missed being this close to him as they had been weeks ago. She knew in her heart that she was bound to forgive him but not yet. She needs to know first if he was just lying to her so he can escape being thrown in Azkaban for violating her.

She wanted to wake him up so she can get up and go to the loo but didn't have the heart to do so seeing how peaceful he looked. She knew it was still early because the sky was still dark so she decided just to sleep again, the comfort she was feeling beside Draco surpassing her urge to pee.

Draco woke up from the alarm he set up last night at seven in the morning. He felt something warm beneath him as he opened his eyes. Seeing that somehow during the night he and Hermione Granger became entangled with each other.

He slowly moved a little away from her as not to startle her with their position. Then gently patted her arm to wake her up.

"Hermione, wake up" he called softly. "It's seven in the morning," he added.

She slowly opened her eyes as he continued waking her.

"Good morning," he greeted her with a smile and a kiss on the forehead.

"Good morning, Draco," Hermione replied returning his smile.

"Come on, let's eat so we can get ready afterwards," Draco invited, helping her stand up.

They had their breakfast then had their shower, Draco using the bathroom in another bedroom so they can save time getting ready. Hermione took longer getting ready, so Draco decided to call for a cab while waiting for her to finish.

The cab arrived at the manor gates after fifteen minutes, he and Hermione were already at the gates waiting for it.

********************************************

They had arrived in London at half past ten, thankful that the traffic from Wiltshire to London was not that bad considering today was a Saturday. It was probably because many people were still tired from yesterday's festivities.

Draco was quiet for the whole ride, just holding her hand. He was actually quite nervous going to London since many magical folks usually loiter around there. He wasn't sure how people will react when they see him and Hermione together going to a Muggle clinic.

The cab dropped them off in a Muggle women's clinic Hermione saw previously whenever she went to Muggle London.

"Good morning, I want to have a check-up with an OB Gynaecologist," Hermione informed the Muggle clinic's receptionist as they neared her.

"Good morning, ma'am. Do you already have a record here?" The receptionist asked politely.

"Not yet," the brown haired witch answered. Draco who was beside her was just still quiet and holding her hand.
