If I Fall-A Dramione Fan Fic

07-Healing

I've left behind this little fact:
You cannot kill what you did not create
I've gotta say what I've gotta say
And then I swear I'll go away
But I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise

Ginny and Hermione spent the better part of the morning in her room chatting. Ginny had agreed to room with her the rest of their stay in Diagon Alley. She said she didn't want to be alone either. Then at midafternoon the both decided it was time to go get lunch.

As they started walking down Diagon Alley when Hermione noticed Harry and Ron leaving Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. Ginny noticed Hermione's discomfort and steered her to walk the other way. As she turned she bumped straight into a man.

"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to run..." As she looked up she recognized the man. "Malfoy." She said curtly.

"Do they not teach muggles how to walk anymore Granger?" He asked with a smirk.

Before she could reply though someone grabbed her by the arm pulling her back hard. Hermione watched pure hate wash over Draco's face before she realized who was behind her. "Get the hell away from her Malfoy." Ron spat.

"If you value your hand, you'll let go of her arm Weasley." Draco hissed.

"Who the hell do you think you are Malfoy? She's my girlfriend. I'll touch her as I dam well please." Ron said tightening his grip.

Ginny barely had the chance to pull Hermione away before Draco grabbed him by the shirt. "Get something straight Weasle, you dumped her. Now let me make myself clear. If you ever touch her or any other woman with more than a feathery fucking touch, I will cut your hands off and feed them to you." Draco whispered so quietly Hermione and Ginny barely heard him.

"She's my girlfriend Ferret. I will touch her however I want." Ron said pushing Draco back. That was all it took, not even a second later all hell broke loose. Draco jumped on top of Ron and began punching him. "You. Are. A. Disgusting. Creature. Weasley. I. Can't. Believe. She'd. Date. You." Draco said between hits. One more blow later and finally Harry and 2 other bystanders were able to pull him off.

Hermione stood there in horror at the sight of Ron's bloody face as Harry picked him up. All she could do was watch as Harry began to drag him away, Ron still screaming obscenities. She looked at Ginny who had tears in her eyes as she watched obviously torn.

"Go Ginny. He's your brother. Make sure he's ok." Hermione said trying to fight back her own tears.

"I'm sorry" Ginny cried before running off.

Hermione looked over at Draco who was holding his bleeding hand refusing to look at her. "Come on, let's get you back to your flat. You’re going to need a lot of healing spells." She said numbly pushing him from where he stood.

Hermione lightly pushed Draco into the chair before turning back to go find the potions she needed. Luckily for her, he had obviously stocked up on first aid potions. She walked back towards him setting the supplies on the table.

"What in Merlin's name were you thinking Malfoy!?" She screamed as she rubbed a numbing potion on his bloodied hand.

"I was thinking that I gave you fair warning. Even after that in fact, I wasn't going to say anything when I saw him. Then he had to act like it was ok. Like what he did was perfectly normal." Malfoy said wincing a bit as she placed a cloth on his hand.

"I am not some abused woman Malfoy! I can handle Ron just fine thank you. I don't need you coming in pretending to be Superman." Hermione finished putting on the last of the healing potion and grabbed a bandage.
