Chapter 9 || Year 2

Hermione's POV-

There were two groups in the hospital wing- the gryffindors, all cramped around Harry's bed, and the slytherins, all standing around Draco's.

All of us gryffindors turned our heads towards the slytherins as they all walked out, except for Draco, who was still laying down on his bed, his eyes closed.

"Perhaps you guys should go too, I don't want you getting in trouble for staying here too late. Plus, there will probably be a party in the common room because of our win, so go there and have some fun." Harry spoke up.

Everyone said their goodbyes as Madam Pomfrey came around to give Harry his sleeping potion to try and reduce the pain he will have from regrowing his bones.

I hung back and waited until Harry was asleep, before walking over to Draco's bed.

"Are you still awake?" I whispered.

Draco didn't respond, he just remained there with his eyes shut, so I figured he was sleeping.

"I know you can't here me, but I just want to say a couple of things. I hope you do feel better tomorrow, because I watched as you fell, and I was a pretty big fall. I also wanted to say that even though you hate me, I don't hate you. I don't think I ever can." I sighed, standing up to leave the hospital wing.

"I'm sorry for calling you a mudblood." Draco's soft voice sounded, startling me.

I turned around to see him sitting up, well awake.

"I forgive you." I smiled at the blonde.

"And don't you ever think that I hate you, because I don't." He said sternly but kindly.

"Thank you." I whispered.

"Please, stay with me until I go." He pleaded.

"But what if someone sees-"

"No one will come in here, and Potter's asleep over there, so he won't know either." Draco stated, motioning to Harry who was snoring quietly.

"Fine." I smiled, sitting on the edge of his bed.

"Thank you." He grinned, putting his head back onto the pillow.
