The Following Day

~Characters Belong To J.K Rowling~

             Hermione was now sleeping. Madam Pomfrey had came as fast as she could and she attended to Hermione's cut. Madam Pomfrey was going to ask what happened but decided not to. She stitched up her cut and took off her old stitches. Shortly after Madam Pomfrey patched her up, Hermione knocked out.

                 Draco also realized that Hermione had called him by his name. He also realized that he had called her by her name when she was on the floor. We're making progress. He thought to himself as he slumped back on his chair, glancing at Hermione as she slept. Madam Pomfrey had let him stay all night because he insisted it was the least he could do for her.

              Draco did indeed stay all night right next to Hermione hoping she would wake up but eventually he fell asleep himself.

                The next morning Draco woke up and stretched and looked at Hermione who was still sound asleep. Draco gazed at her peaceful face before standing up and stretching. He then proceeded to walk into the hospital shower.

                 He stripped down and stepped in the warm water that relaxed his muscles. About five minutes later he got out and dressed up in his usual school uniform and went to go sit back next to Hermione. Draco sat and sat for hours either thinking about Hermione or thinking about the cruel things he would do to Goyle and Blaise. The wait did pay off though because she eventually  did awake. She fluttered her eyes open and slowly moved her head to her right.

             She saw  Draco who was staring at the air, lost in his thoughts. "Draco?" She whispered and Draco snapped his head towards her and jumped up and hugged her tight. "Hermione, you're finally awake! Do you know I've stayed here two days waiting for you to wake up? Mind you, that's a lot of time and It's about bloody time you wake up." He told her quickly.

                 He squeezed her tighter. "Erm...Draco?" "Yes?" He said in a low sweet voice that made Hermione just want to kiss and hug him. "Did you just call me Hermione?" She asked him slowly. Draco slowly let her go and stared at her. "I..err...I guess I did..." He replied, looking down at the floor. "Does that mean we're like...friends now?" Hermione asked quietly. "I suppose." Draco replied and Hermione gave him a small smile.

                 Just then Harry, Ron, Ginny, Luna and Neville rushed in through the doors. "Hermione!" cried Ginny and Luna in unison and they hugged Hermione. Harry, Ron and Neville however ran to Draco and Neville held him to his chair while Ron and Harry pointed their wands at Draco.

               "Did you do this to Hermione?" Growled Ron. Draco smirked at how ridiculous they sounded. Hermione drew her attention to the boys and Harry looked at Ron and they both nodded and both said "Expell-" " HARRY JAMES POTTER AND RONALD BILIUS WEASLEY! YOU BOTH OUGHT  TO PUT YOUR WANDS DOWN THIS INSTANCE!" Hermione yelled at them with a strict voice.

                Harry glared at Draco and him and Ron set their wands down and looked down to the floor, ashamed. "You three come here." Harry, Ron and Neville walked to Hermione. "You are never to point that wand at Draco unless I say so." Ron's eyes widened and his jaw dropped.

                "Hermione did you just hear yourself? This is Malfoy we are talking about! You just called him by his first name too!." Ron protested "I know what I said. Now, understood?" "Yes ma'am." The three mumbled in unison. "Now you may hug me." She said smiling at them and they hugged Hermione. After minutes of talking and Draco getting lost in his thoughts, they all decided to sit down to talk about what happend and if Draco should be considered friend or foe.
