I Fell Into Your Arms

Chapter 30: You Owe Me

"Ooh thats a cold way to greet your savior, but Ill let it slide. I know being bedridden makes you snippy." Draco leaned casually against the wall.

"You are not my savior." Hermione huffed.

"I am. Listen you ate some chocolate a few days ago and you began with a spliting headache." Draco explained

"How do you konw that?" Hermione demanded.

"Im your Healer, its my job. Magic showed me where your pain originated and how. Dont underestimate my intelligence. I spent 5 years in remidies for magical miladies." Draco replied his grey eyes unreadable.

"What was I given?"

"A highly concentrated potion that when injested had you re- experience your worst menories. Do you remember them?" Draco was alarmed by the disgusted look on the womans face.

"Id rather not say. How long until I can return to work?" Hermione demanded.

"Two weeks." Draco answered.

"Two weeks?! Thats too long to be here!" Hermione huffed.

"You are very weak. You need around the clock care. Dont argue with me. It will take time for you to be independant again. So be patient." Draco replied

"Have you told my father?" Hermione scowled.

"I did. He wants you to remain here. If he has too, Sirius will strap you to that bed to be sure you are getting enough rest. He was a mother hen with Potters recovery, he would have been with yours." Draco wrung his hands

"Id rather my father fuss over me than you." Hermione spat.

"He agreed you would fare better if you stayed with your Healer." Draco smiled

"Dont you see? Hes trying to get us back together." Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Im not complaining." Draco smiled

"You lied to me, lead me on. How am I supposed to trust that you want me now?" Hermione sent the blonde a withering glare.

"I will even take Veriteserum to prove it. Please Hermione." Draco pleaded

"If you care for me at all, please leave me alone." Hermione said turning her head.

"So, did it work?" A man asked

Blaise smirked, "you know it did. Draco fell for the 'its to help her' act."

The man pulled back his hood revealing Sirius. "The two love each other. Yes Hermione can be very stubborn, she just needs a push in the right direction."

"Even if it involves poisioning the poor woman?" Blaise raised an eyebrow

"You cant prove that was me." Sirius crossed his arms. "Amelia allowed it, if it was. Hermione needs drastic events to happen to bring her close to those she needs."

"Tell me when that happened." Blaise was unconviced

"Hermione met Harry by him saving her life from a troll. Hermione and Ronald got back together after he was poisioned at 16." Sirius looked ready to begin ranting.

"Ok, I believe you. No need to get your wand in a knot." Blaise raiased his arms.

"Thanks for helping me, now remember you are under oath not to tell a soul about this." Sirius warned
