Chapter 28:

I awoke the next morning in the hospital wing lying in Draco's arms. We were startled awake when Madame Pomphrey came to check on Draco. However she stopped dead in her tracks when she saw me. I got tense I knew it I was in for it now. I broke a handful of school rules. Lets see I was in the hospital wing after visiting hours, I was in bed with a patient let alone we were both Heads of the school, and of the opposite sex. It looked like her head was going to explode.

" Miss Granger, you really shouldn't be here." Said in a firm but calm tone, as she came closer. She sighed and her cold expression looked to warm up. " But seeing as how Mr. Malfoy is awake now, and you had been so concerned you barley left his side, and still managed to keep up with your school work and duties, I'm going to over look it and pretend that you came during school hours." I finally let out that breathe that I had been holding in since she showed up. We both smiled at each other. I was thankful.

" Thank you Madame Pomphrey!" She turned around to look over his charts and review his status, and then she turned around.

" Good news, Mr. Malfoy" Draco sat up and looked at her with anticipation of getting out of this hospital wing.

" You get to get out of here and back to your studies this evening" Both of our smiles dwindled down to a disappointed expression.

" This evening?, But its only the early morning now!" Draco whined.

" I know Mr. Malfoy, and Miss. Granger don't give me that look" she sighed again," I just want to make sure that your are alright before I send you out in the world. You were given a pretty deadly curse, and were pretty bad off." I looked at Draco and he just smiled at me and nodded.

" Don't worry He will be out by Supper tonight" She said to me as I turned to leave.

Draco sat up and watched me turn around to give him a sad look. I couldn't help it I missed him.

" Cheer up, I finally get to get out of this place, and I will see you at dinner." He smirked, " ya know I may have actually forgot what the common room looks like, so well have to get better acquainted." He joked and I just forced a smile.

" So go on get out of here Hermione!" I just looked at him. He was really kicking me out." Go , you have potions in 30 minutes and I have never known you to ant to miss a class or be late for one."

" But what about you?"

" What about me? I'm fine, Madame Pomphrey is here to look after me, and I'm pretty sure you'll catch me up on what I have missed in classes. I will see you at dinner" He smiled at me, and I made me go week in the knees just starring at him. Even in a weakened state after a near death experience he can still do that to me. " Now go before I take points off you for questioning my orders" I giggled and then turned to leave.

So I ran all the way to class to get there on time. I had noticed that Ron was also out, and I smiled to myself because I knew why. I took my seat next to Harry.

" Hey Hermione!"

" He's getting released at super today!" I whispered just loud enough for him to hear and Snape to not notice ands take points off of Gryffindor just for the fun of it. I was so excited I could hardly contain myself.

" Really?" Harry grinned, " I'm so relieved" I couldn't stop smiling I just concentrated on the lesson. The rest of the day was boring, and went by relatively slow. Why was it that whenever you were anticipating something it always took forever to come? I thought to myself as the great mystery of life. It was almost time for super and I was supposed to meet Harry in Ginny at the Gryffindor common room, but told them I would just wait outside. I didn't want to go in and have to have small chit chat with everyone in there, because I'm too polite to ignore then when I had to see Draco. So I just stood there for what seemed like hours waiting for my friends to go to super. I was slowly getting a headache because of course the Fat lady kept trying to get me to listen to her singing, and honestly she could not sing. I didn't have the heart to tell her, I just stood there and took the pain. Note to self-kill Harry and Ginny for keeping me out here through 2 whole songs and almost one encore.

" Oh, Hermione" I heard Ginny coming through the Portrait door. " Harry told me everything. You poor dear, I think its all-so romantic." She ran up to me giving me a lung-crushing hug. " I'm so happy for you." She sighed and looked at me " For you both."

" Thanks gin, that means a lot to me, but where is Harry I really need to get to the Great hall. I have been anticipating this moment all day." Just as I mentioned Harry's name he came through the portrait. And we left for the great hall. with butterflies forming in my stomach.

We sat down at our usual spot, and I glanced over at the Slytherin table and he was not here yet. I got disappointed and Ginny noticed that my mood had changed and tried to console me.

" I'm sure hell show up!" She smiled at me and I forced a smile back. Meanwhile I kept glancing over at the door and at the slythrein table every couple of minutes, but each time I got more and more disappointed and started to worry that he had been kept longer. My mind kept racing and Dinner was almost over, and he still wasn't here. I sighed and went back to listening to Ginny and Harry flirt, about Quiddich. I smiled and pretended I was paying attention as I swirled some peas around on my plate. I nearly jumped out of my skin when Harry tapped me on the shoulder, and pointed toward the entrance hall. Ginny looked up and her jaw dropped and my heart literally stopped at I stared at the man that stood at the door. It was Draco in the Dress robes that I transfigured for him in Mc Gonnagal's class at the beginning of term. I immediately smiled not caring if any one else saw that I was staring at Draco and he was staring at me smiling back. He started to walk toward the Gryffindor table and people were starting to stare, and the room got almost completely quiet. He stopped in front of Harry and me and with out thinking I stood up. He looked at me and then at Harry.

" Thanks man!" He officered his hand and Harry shook it gratefully. " I owe you one!" Draco said with no sarcasm, he was very sincere.

" No, don't be silly, but I do believe we are no longer enemies." Harry smiled and Draco just smirked.

" Yea I can live with that" He nodded" Just don't think just because we teamed up, and Weasly's now in the hospital wing that that makes us the new ' Golden Trio'" Draco teased, the boys laughed, and then he turned to me and smiled bigger than I had ever seen him smile at any thing or any one.

" I just have one thing I want to know." He gave me a hard look and I just raised one eyebrow not knowing where he was going. He slowly got down on one knee and I felt my heart race. I cupped my mouth and gasped.

" Hermione granger I love you! Will you marry me?" The room was quiet as ever and all eyes were on the two of us. I began to cry

" Yes, Yes a million times yes!" Draco stood up and we wrapped out arms around each other. At that moment my robes were transformed into the exact purple ball gown that Draco had transformed on me that very day that I transformed the ones on him that he was wearing. I felt like I was in a fairy tale. The whole hall burst out on cheers and whistles even the Slytherin table. We looked at each other and he gave me the most passionate kiss of my life.

The battle was over and the rest of my life was just beginning… or something like it any way!
