Chapter 23

I thought I was numb, but then I felt his hand on mine. I could hear his voice. I couldn't comprehend his words. I didn't try to but then it all became clearer.

"Juno" was all I heard. Draco was beside me. Why was he here? He shouldn't be. All his love had been false all these months. How had it come down to this with me in the hospital having been cursed severely with the same boy by my side?

I felt his hand leave mine and the stool shift. He had gotten up to leave. I opened my eyes and the light hit my eyes. "Ughh!" I groaned and tried to open it more. Draco stopped and he stood there with his face turned around looking at me.

He turned around completely now and kept looking at me. I averted my gaze and glanced out of the window.

"I missed you," he said. I didn't respond. "You're not forgiven you know," I said, he knew very well what I meant.

"I'm sorry"

"Go back to your father and do what you're told to as always," that was me taking out my frustration of seeing Draco and Pansy together during Christmas.

"I couldn't help it"

"Well neither can I help you now"

"Stop being so stubborn," he said.

"Then leave," I said. Why were we even fighting anymore? The war was over, everything could be normal. This was the wrong time for my anger on him to come out.

"Oh Come on! You very well know why I did all that, you actually thought for a second that I would prefer spending time with Pansy over you?" his voice started shaking now. I still refused to look at him and heard him walk up to the foot of the bed.

"Look at me," I could hear he was slightly angry now. He grabbed my face and made me look at him. A whole fleet of emotions came over me.

"I know," he said. "I know how bad it hurt staying away. I don't want to repeat that again. Please don't do this to me Juno.." his voice trailed off.

His eyes betrayed a lot of feelings. He pulled me and kissed me. I just smiled into the kiss and put my arms around his neck pulling him down while his hands rested on my neck. We stopped and looked at each other. I could already predict his smirk coming on.

"Don't," I said.

"What?" he asked smiling with a mocking shocked expression, and then he smirked.

"That," I said and leaned in for another kiss.

"Miss Swan, I think you would do well to remember that this is the hospital wing" I groaned, Madam Pomfrey.

"Madam Pomfrey we need you here!" I heard Hermione's voice outside and giggled. Madam Pomfrey left us and went. Maybe this was not going to be bad after all.

I guess happy endings did exist in the magical world.
