Chapter 7

There's smut at the end of the chapter, feel free to skip that if you don't like it, nothing happens after the smut

Draco twirled Hermione around in their living room. It was a nice quiet afternoon and Hermione had put music on when a nice slow song came on. Draco wasted no time in standing up and grabbing Hermione's hand to dsnce with her.

Hermione giggled placing a soft hand on his cheek smiling brightly at him as they continued swaying to the song. Draco leaned into her touch, he wished he could stay like this forever. Just them together in their little bubble but without that bloody curse.

The song slowly came to a stop, they stood still as another more upbeat song started playing. Hermione gently pulled him into a soft kiss. Draco immediately melted into it letting hwr take control.

They pulled apart only to press their foreheads together. Hermione smiled at him before sitting down. Draco looked at her worryingly, Hermione shook her head, "just need a little rest,  can you pass me my book please?"

Draco handed her the book she had been reading earlier that day and sst next to her. Hermione scooted even closer leaning into him. Draco kissed the top of her head.

Ever since their flight Hermione had started feeling more frail. He was desperate to find something thst could help her. Anything.

Later that week Blaise brought him his findings.

Draco left Hermione in their apartment with a wheelchair he bought as a mobility aid in case she needed to get around but couldn't walk. He met up with his friend at his office.

"I cam cure her cursed blood but I don't think I can do anything for her heart Dray." Blaise admitted after showing him his research.

Draco felt tears threatening to fall from his eyes, "are you sure this will work?"

"at least for some time, might not work forever."

He looked at the foto of Hermione on his desk, "I'll talk to her, see if she wants to extend her time a bit."

Blaise nodded, "tell her thst I'll keep on working on it. I promise."

Draco nodded closing his eyes, merlin why was this so hard? If only he could transfer the curse onto himself, let her live a nice full life. If only.

Hermione sat on hwr wheelchair processing everything her boyfriend had told her. "if it means I get to spend more time with you then I'll do it."

Draco kneeled down in front of her, "are you sure?" Hermione nodded. "alright, I'll tell Blaise."

"can we go to the park? I need some fresh air."

"of course my love."

Hermione stared at Blaise as he prepared her arm, "I trust you Blaise."

Blaise smiled at her, "Granger I promise I'll find a permanent solution. Can't let the world lose that bright mind of yours."

He slowly injected the solution into her blood stream, "it should make you-" before he could finish Hermione doubled over emptying her stomach into a bucket he had already placed down, "do just that." he looked down at the vomit, it was all black as he expected. "well I'll have to study that now. Lovely."

Draco casted a claning spell on his girlfriend, "what's thst?"

"well my hypothesis is that it's just part of her curse that won't you know curse me. I'll still be very careful though."

"thank you Blaise." Hermione said in a small voice.

"of course Granger, that should keep you healthy for at least two weeks but if it doesn't Draco will keep one injection with him at all times and you can always send a patronus tk come get me."
