Chapter 44
"Draco" Ginny said coming up behind the boy laying a hand on his shoulder. Draco didn't even turn his head and acknowledge Ginny he continued staring at Hermione and holding her hand tightly.
"yes" he said his voice sounding a little scratchy.
"Maybe you should go up to the heads common room and take a shower and a nap" Ginny said softly no removing her hand.
"No" Draco said with venom in his voice.
"You want to look present able when Hermione wakes up don't you" Ginny said.
Five minutes passed without a sound from Draco and finally he just nodded his head and began to stand up still no letting go of Hermione's hand. He leaned over slowly and pressed a kiss to her forehead. "Don't worry love, I will be back soon I promise" then he placed a kiss on her lips. He laid her hand gently back on the bed. He turned and looked at Ginny. "I will go and take a shower but I am not under any circumstances going to go to sleep Hermione needs me here."
"What ever you want Draco, I will go to the kitchens and get you some food and some tea for after your shower and meet you in your common room." Ginny said as they both walked out of the infirmary door. There Ginny and Draco went separate ways him toward the head's common room and her toward the kitchens.
As Ginny went into the kitchens house elves surrounded her asking what they could do to help her. But a House elf with two different colored socks and a red hat on his head pushed his way to the front. "How can Dobby help Ginny" Dobby ask
"Can you be kind enough to bring a pot of tea to the head common room for Draco and maybe a sandwich of some sorts?" Ginny ask kindly.
"Dobby would be proud to help Ginny" Dobby said with a lopsided grin.
"There is another thing I must ask of you Dobby, I want you to put this vile of sleeping potion in the pot of tea for Draco, but you can't tell him" Ginny said
"Dobby won't say a word to Draco" Dobby said taking the vile in his hands.
"Thank you Dobby" Ginny said.
"Tell Mr. Harry Potter, Dobby said Hi" Dobby said looking at Ginny.
"Of course I will." Ginny said leaving the kitchen and heading to the head's common room.
By the time that Ginny got to the head's common room Draco was sitting on one of the couches waiting for her, He had already taken his shower and had changed into clean robes. "The tea and sandwiches should be here at any moment" Ginny said sitting on a couch opposite of Draco when the Tea and Sandwiches appeared on the coffee table.
"I really need to get back to Hermione, In case she wakes up" Draco said as he started to get up.
"You can go back as soon as you have a bite to eat and a bit of tea, You haven't been eating well and Hermione would kill me if she knew I let you get away with making yourself sick." Ginny said.
"Oh all right" Draco said picking up a turkey sandwich and taking a bite. Soon he had finished three sandwiches and was finishing off his first cup of tea when he yawned.
"maybe you should go and take a nap" Ginny suggested a slight smile on her face.
"No I have to get back to Hermione" Draco said standing up slowly.
"Hermione will still be there when you wake up Draco, you need rest." Ginny said looking at him pointedly.
"No" Draco said threw another yawn as he stretched his arms shaking his head to ward off the sleepiness.
"Guess that is why Madam Pomfrey wanted me to give him the potion" Ginny said to herself as she watched Draco try to get the sleepy feeling away. "Why don't you finish off your cup of tea then we can walk together to the infirmary and see Hermione" Ginny said smiling.
"I guess I could finish off my tea" Draco said as he bent down and picked up his cup drinking the last bit of it. Draco yawned again and suddenly he dropped his cup and it shattered when it hit the common room floor. Draco then fell back onto the couch his eyes closed his breathing even.
"I thought that would never work" Ginny said laughing at the sight of Draco sprawled out on the couch. She took her wand from her pocket and levitated Draco into his bedroom and placing him on his bed. "You can see Mione when you wake up" She whispered trying not to make to much noise and covering him with a blanket from the couch. Ginny left the heads room and went back to the infirmary to tell Madam Pomfrey that Draco was asleep and should be back in a few hours.
Madam Pomfrey and Ginny were in her office discussing how Ginny got Malfoy out of the infirmary and to the heads common room when they heard a groan coming from the patient area. They both ran to see what it was when they saw Hermione slowly opening her eyes and squinting at the bright lamps that were on.
"Mione your awake." Ginny squealed as she ran to hug the older girl.
"Not so loud Ginny" Hermione said her throat scratchy.
"Miss Granger let me check you over" Madam Pomfrey said, "Then we shall call in the headmaster and your father."
"My father" Hermione whispered looking at Madam Pomfrey.
"Yes dear he has been worried sick along with Mr. Malfoy." Madam Pomfrey said casting a few spells.
"Where is Draco" Hermione whispered looking at Ginny.
"He has been sitting here with you ever since you came back, I had to convice him that he wanted to look presentable when you awoke to make him go and take a shower, then we gave him a sleeping potion so he would get some rest" Ginny said.
"Oh" Hermione said as Madam Pomfrey brought her some chocolate.
"Would you like me to call in your father and Professor Dumbledore now?" Madam Pomfrey ask.
"Yes please." Hermione said sitting up in the bed a little. Madam Pomfrey left to send an owl leaving Hermione with Ginny.
"Who came and Got me" Hermione ask Ginny.
"It was Draco and your Father" Ginny said smiling as she took a seat beside Hermione.
"And I have been unconscious all this time" Hermione ask.
"Yes you gave us all a fright." Ginny said, "Draco barely ever left your side, and your father only left when he had to."
"Who is my father Ginny" Hermione ask looking at the younger girl.
"Are you sure you want me to tell you or would you rather find out when he gets here." Ginny ask a little unsure.
"Just tell me Gin" Hermione said. "It's Professor Snape, he nearly gave Ron a heart attack when he threatened to throw him out of the infirmary for yelling in your unconscious state. Ron even passed out" Ginny said.
Hermione just stared at her as the infirmary door burst open and Professor Snape sauntered in. He stopped when he felt Hemione's eyes staring at him. He slowed down hesitantly walking toward her bed. "Your alright" He muttered as he reach her bedside.
"Yes" Hermione said in a whisper "I'm alright"
"Thank Merlin you are ok, if you hadn't been I would have killed that ignorant muggle with my bare hands." Snape said his voice harsh. Hermione's eyes widened as she looked at her real father.
"So it's true you are my real dad, all this time and you have been right here." Hermione whispered.
"I thought you were dead, that they took and killed you when they killed your mother" Snape said in a low voice.
"But you have been so unkind to me all this time." Hermione breathed out.
"You looked so much like her, it was a reminder every day that my wife was gone, and so was my child. It was so uncanny I couldn't help but dislike you. I wondered what my baby would have been like and I saw her every time I looked at you, then I found out you were my child" Snape said.
"I'm sorry I am such a painful reminder." Hermione said her voice low.
"I couldn't believe you were alive, and when I found out I was so happy but then I found out you were in trouble, Draco and I arrived as soon as we could." Severus said with a small smile. "I know it is going to be hard for you to just accept me with open arms after the past seven years, but I will be patient Hermione, you are my daughter, and I love you"
"It is going to take some time getting used to the fact." Hermione said with a thoughtful expression, "but I want to say thank-you for saving me, I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been there."
"From now on I will always be here for you Hermione" Severus said in a very unlike Severus moment.
"Thank-you" Hermione whispered as she gave him a small smile and a hug.
"You need to let the poor dear rest Professor" Madam Pomfrey said giving him a stern look.
"Alright' Severus said with a nod, giving one final smile to Hermione he swept out of the room.
"Madam Pomfrey do you think it would be alright, if I go back to my rooms" Hermione ask with a pleading look.
"Dear you need your rest" Madam Pomfrey said looking at the girl.
"I would be much more comfortable in my own room; this hospital bed is very uncomfortable." Hermione said giving her a puppy dog look. "And if I need anything I can call a house elf to come and get you, or Draco" Hermione added.
"If Miss Weasley will help you to your rooms, you may go" Madam Pomfrey said giving the girl a small smile.
The door to the Infirmary opened and Albus Dumbledore stepped into the room the twinkle back into his eye. "Hermione I see you are up and about" Albus said with a smile.
"Yes Madam Pomfrey just agreed to let me go back to my rooms." Hermione said returning the smile.
"Did she" Dumbledore said "Well then let me accompany you back and we shall chat on our way."
"Sure" Hermione said as she slowly walked to where Dumbledore was standing and offering his arm to her.
"Miss Weasley you can go back to your common rooms inform Harry and Ron that they can visit Hermione sometime tomorrow afternoon. "Dumbledore said giving her a smile.
"Yes Sir Dumbledore" Ginny said as she exited the Infirmary.
"So Hermione I presume Severus has already been to see you" Dumbledore ask looking at her.
"Yes he just left a little before you came in" Hermione said looking at the old professor.
"Did he tell you that I was Athena's Father" Albus ask Hermione slowly.
"No" Hermione said her voice small.
"I Figured he would leave that part to me" Dumbledore said. So Dumbledore started his story and by the time he finished with it they had reach the common room.
"Thank you for telling me everything" Hermione said with a small smile. "It was nothing Child, you deserve to know everything" Dumbledore said as he gave the password and Hermione slipped through the portrait. Hermione quickly turned and gave Dumbledore a quick wave as she walked further into the common room.
She made her way up the stairs to Draco's room and she gently pushed open the door, so she wouldn't wake Draco up.'
"Your back" Ej the mirror exclaimed. Hermione put her finger to her lips in a shhhhh... sign and walked quietly over to the bed where Draco lay curled up on his side. Hermione sat down on the bed right beside Draco and moved a piece of hair that had fallen into Draco's eyes, she leaned down and pressed a kiss to his forehead. Draco mumbled in his sleep and rolled over. Hermione laughed "Must be the sleeping potion" she whispered to herself, as she lay down beside Draco watching him in his sleep. "I'll just stay here till he wakes up" she said yawning, but before long Hermione herself was asleep.
The sun shown in the window, bathing Draco's face in sunlight, "and I was having such a good dream" Draco mumbled to himself as he slowly opened his eyes. Draco turned his head to look at the clock it read 11 am. "What" Draco said to himself, "I should have been back down with Hermione hours ago, what if she wakes up and is by herself." Draco quickly got up in a panic not even noticing he had unwrapped his arms from someone. Draco started rushing around his bedroom trying to find clothes.
Draco getting up from his bed had awakened Hermione and she was quite amused by his ramblings to himself and decided to let him know of her presence in the room. "Draco honey what are you doing" Hermione said softly sitting up a bit.
"Not now Mione I have to go and see you in the hospital wing" Draco said starting to rush out of his room. Then Draco suddenly stopped "Mione" Draco said turning toward her.
"Hmmm" Hermione said looking at him smiling.
"What are you bloody doing here" Draco ask staring at her.
"I came up last night, you were asleep so I tried to wait for you to wake up, and ended up falling asleep." Hermione said still smiling.
Draco ran back to the bed and grabbed Hermione up out of it twirling her around "You awake" Draco shouted laughing.
"Yes I am" Hermione said with a smile yawning a bit.
"You must be tired still" Draco said putting her down and looking deep into her eyes.
"I would rather spend time with you" Hermione whispered as she stood on her tiptoes. Draco bent his head toward her and they shared their first passionate kiss since before Christmas.
"I've missed you so much" Draco whispered in her hair, "I never left you side till Weasley brought me up here, and it must have been the damn tea." Draco trailed off.
"Don't curse Draco" Hermione scolded pulling back and looking at him.
"Sorry" Draco mumbled.
"They did it for your own good Draco" Hermione said, "Plus I got to surprise you" she added.
"Well..." Draco trailed off.
"Lets go back to bed" Hermione suggested taking Draco's hand and leading him back to his bed.
"Feisty already" Draco ask wiggling his eyebrows.
"You wish" Hermione said as she snuggled into Draco's arms. "Thank-you for coming to rescue me" Hermione whispered.
"It's No Problem, just don't ever do anything like that ever again" Draco said sternly.
"Don't worry" Hermione whispered. "They told me the whole story you know"
"They did" Draco ask trying to make conversation.
"Yeah between Professor Snape and Dumbledore, I got it all" Hermione whispered
"What are you going to do now" Draco ask quietly.
"I am going to take getting to know Professor Snape day by day, he is my father after all and he helped to save my life, and I really believe he loves me" Hermione said smiling to myself, "As for Rick I hope the ministry takes care of it, but if not I will prosecute him in the muggle world, My Adoptive mother, I think I will go and see her let her explain her side of the story, and say my goodbyes, I don't belong there" Hermione finished.
"That seems like a good solution Hermione." Draco whispered in her ear.
"Draco" Hermione said looking up at him.
"Hmmmm" Draco said as he nibbled her ear.
"I Love You" Hermione whispered as she captured his mouth with hers.
"I Love You too" Draco muttered when the kiss had ended wiping away her tears with his thumbs, "I don't know what I would do if I had lost you, you're the first person I have ever loved." He whispered as the shared another passionate kiss.
Epilogue
1 Year Later
The Ministry tried Rick and he was found guilty of rape, domestic violence and abuse, He was sentenced to five years in the wizarding prison, and his memory was to be erased after that time period.
It took Hermione six months to start calling Severus father, but their relationship was coming together nicely, it wasn't perfect but nothing nearly is.
It took Ron even longer to accept that Severus was Hermione's father he still gets a greenish tint if anyone even mentions it much to the delight of one Draco Malfoy.
Hermione made amends with Her adoptive mother, though she doesn't see her anymore, Hermione has left all muggle life behind her.
While Draco and Hermione are still dating, Draco is planning on asking her to become his wife on their next date. He has already received permission from Severus.
Thank-you everyone who has reviewed and helped make this story possible. I hope this has a satisfactory ending for everyone. I don't think there will be a sequel to Unlock my secret. Hopefully I will have some new idea's on a new Draco Hermione story. If you all have any idea's you would like to share let me know and I will see what I can do. Until then keep reading, Christmas-Snowflake
