Just Go For It

Chapter 40

Hermione had to blink a few times and she looked at Draco. Draco looked really upset and shocked. Harry, Blaise and Ginny were looking at them curious. Hermione took a deep breath and walked over to Draco and hugged him. Draco put his arms around Hermione but he was shaking.

"Do you want me to tell them?" Hermione said her voice just above a whisper.

Draco nodded his head in agreement.

"Draco's mother is at St Mungo's because of a dark magic spell. She is awake but really weak." Hermione said softly still hugging Draco.

"Oh Merlin." Blaise said. "Are you allowed to go and bring someone."

"Yes I am." Draco said. Hermione and Draco stopped hugging.

"Who are you going to bring?" Blaise said hopefully.

"I'm going to bring Hermione." Said Draco smirking at the look on Blaise's face.

"So you have knew me since we were really young and you have only really started speaking to Hermione this year but you're still going to bring her either though I'm your best mate." Said Blaise but gave Draco a smile to show he was joking.

"It's just how to get there." Said Draco wonder filling his voice.

"You could disapparate." Said Harry.

"Oh my Harry how many times do I have to tell you? You can't dissaparate on Hogwarts Grounds." Said Hermione frustrated.

"Sorry Hermione." Harry said holding his head down.

"Wait Draco isn't there a fire in Dumbledore's office?" Hermione asked Draco.

"Yes there is. Hermione this is why they call you the Brightest Witch of Our Age." Draco said to Hermione. Hermione smiled.

"OK so are we going to go?" Hermione asked.

"Yes." Draco said. "You guys can stay here while I go to St Mungo's with Hermione to visit my mother. I don't know how long we will be. But please don't wreck the place." Draco grabbed Hermione by the hand softly and pulled her out the room.

"So we can go wild tonight can't we." Blaise said and started running about everywhere.

"I think he's had to many fire-whiskys." Harry said.

"I love you so much Ginny I love you I love you I love you..." Blaise said then started singing.

"You think Harry." Ginny said.

Hermione and Draco had walked up to Dumbledore's office. The gargoyle just sat there waiting for the password.

"Oh ummm sweets, sweets, sweets." Said Hermione thinking.

"Sweets?" Draco asked.

"His password is always a sweet." Hermione responded.

"Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans." Draco said. The gargoyle didn't move.

"Toothflossing Stringmints." Hermione said. The gargoyle still didn't move.

They both tried a few more times.

"Uhh what are we going to do?" Hermione said.

"Keep guessing." Said Draco.

"Don't be sarcastic with me Draco." Hermione said.

"Well there are plenty more sweets we should just keep guessing." Draco said.

"Ok umm Drooble's Best Blowing Gum." Hermione said. The gargoyle still didn't move.

"My turn Chocolate Frogs." Draco said. The gargoyle started to move. Draco started smirking.

"Oh shut up." Hermione said.

They both stepped on the steps that travelled up.

When they walked into the office it was the same the books on the shelves and the unusual furniture and objects. Dumbledore was sitting at his desk and looked up at them through his half moon spectacles.

"Yes Miss Granger, Mr Malfoy." Dumbledore said.

"We were wondering if we could use your fire to floo to St Mungos." Draco said to Dumbledore.

"Your mother?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes but how do you know?" Draco asked.

"I can feel a sense of sadness only people feel when their mother is sad or ill." Dumbledore said. "And of course you both can use the fire. I will know where you are so don't worry." Dumbledore led them to the fire. "I think it is best if you both travel together to avoid not being able to find each other." Said Dumbledore a twinkle in his eye.

Hermione and Draco both got into the fire together and Draco picked up some floo powder. Hermione was holding Draco's arm tightly and closed her eyes.

"St Mungo's" Draco said.

The fire glowed green and pulled Hermione and Draco though over fires. Hermione was still holding Draco's arm really tightly. When they had appeared in a fire place in St Mungo's Hermione opened one eye and then the other to make sure they were there. Draco pulled Hermione softly out of the fire. Hermione let go of Draco's arm and then they started brushing the dust of their clothes.

They both walked up to the front desk.

The receptionist had long golden blonde hair with beautiful green emerald eyes. She was wearing a formal cream dress with cream heels and black tights. She had diamond earrings in her ears with a diamond necklace and a pearl bracelet. On her face she had a little bit of mascara a nude lipstick.

"Yes." said the receptionist.

"I'm here to see my mother, Narcissa Malfoy." Draco said.

"OK she is in room 15b." The receptionist said kindly and smiled.

"OK thanks." Draco said quickly.

Hermione and Draco walked down the hallways until they found room 15b.

"Here it is." Draco said. "Can we go in?" Draco asked the doctor.

"Yes." Said the doctor.

They both entered the room and Narcissa was awake perked up on the bed by pillows with Lucius on a chair next to her. Narcissa looked pale and she was shaking slightly.

Lucius looked up at Draco and Hermione who was currently hiding slightly behind Draco.

"Draco." Lucius said with no emotion in his voice.

"Father." Draco said back.

"I'm going to get a drink." Lucius said to Narcissa then left the room.

"Who is this girl?" Narcissa asked her voice lacking.

"She is my..." Hermione nodded to Draco to carry on. "...girlfriend." Draco finished.

"How lovely." Narcissa smiled at Hermione.

"Mother you do realize this is Hermione Granger." Draco said.

"Yes I do. I know she's a muggle-born and fought on the light side against The Dark Lord. But she is also very pretty and smart. And as long as my son likes her I like her." Narcissa said her voice still lacking.

"Please don't tell Father." Draco said. "I don't want to tell him just yet. And Hermione say hi." Draco said smiling that Draco spoke to her.

"Hi." Hermione said rather shyly.

"Hermione you are never shy and now you are why?" Draco said.

"Because if you haven't noticed your mother is ill in St Mungo's and why are you rhyming?" Hermione asked.

"I don't know I didn't really mean it to rhyme." Draco responded. Narcissa smiled at her son and Hermione while they were still talking. She noticed how Draco didn't have the Dark-Mark anymore. Hermione was probably going to be the best thing to happen to her son...

Or is it...
