Draco's P.O.V

“No, I'm saying you're not absolutely insane,” she replied.

Sure you are,” I smirked.

She rolled her eyes.

“Think what you want.”

“I will.”

She sighed.

“Can I take a bath?” She asked.

“Let me help - ”

“Never mind,” she said quickly.

“ - you to the bathroom,” I finished.

Her cheeks reddened a bit.

“Alright,” she muttered.

I helped her up and to the bathroom.

“If there's any blood, at all, let me know. I'm going to leave this door cracked. Call me if you need anything,” I told her.

She nodded.

I left the door cracked when I left.

It was a while before Hermione called me to help her. She was already dressed in a short nightgown. I helped her to the bed and got bandages again. She had no complaints as I used the potion again and wrapped her leg.

“Hermione?”

“Yes?”

“Why are you afraid of me helping you?” I asked.

Her eyes shot to mine.

“I - I don't talk about it,” she replied quickly.

“Hermione,” I said, leaning close to her and putting a hand on her cheek, “just know you can trust me, and you can talk to me about anything.”

I kissed her forehead before lying down. She followed and hesitantly scooted closer, seeing if it's okay. I put my arms around her waist and pulled her against me. A blush spread across her cheeks before she buried her face in my neck.

I woke with a light in my eyes.

“Well aren't we cozy!” A familiar voice laughed.

My eyes snapped open when Hermione jumped from my arms and fell off the bed. Blaise Zabini stood at the foot of the bed with a grin on his face.

“‘Ello mate,” he grinned.

“Zabini, you weren't suppose to be here ‘till ten,” I muttered.

“It's eleven mate,” he laughed. “I guess time flies when your snuggling with people.”

I rolled my eyes.

“Who was that anyway, and where'd she go?” Blaise asked.

I looked over the edge of the bed. She was trembling a bit, her back pressed tightly to the wall.

“Come on Hermione,” I sighed, offering my hand.

Granger?” Blaise asked, bewildered.

“H - hi,” she uttered nervously.

“You were - you - you cuddled - ”

“Blaise, please don't tell anyone,” I pleaded quietly.

Hermione bit her lip, but didn't look up.

“I - I won't; I'm just surprised,” he replied.

He looked at Hermione and his eyes suddenly widened.
