Death Wish - Chapter 3
Chapter 5
Hermione yawned from next to Draco's bed. She couldn't remember the last time she was able to sleep comfortably in a bed of her own. Throughout the night, she kept him company against the nightmares that plagued his dreams. Looking at him now, Draco had settled but somehow manged to knock away his blanket and was now lying on his side, facing away from her and this bothered her, not being able to see his face.
Not fully awake, the brunette gently arranged Draco so that the blonde was now lying on his back and not agitating his injuries. After a few minutes passed of watching his chest rise and fall slowly, Hermione fell asleep, waiting for the moment when large blue eyes would be able to greet her.
Hermione awoke to professor Snape standing over her in just a robe. "Wash up and come to the living room." He told her. Ten minutes later, Hermione found Snape sitting in the living room, his eyes were closed and hanging over tired black bags. He held his head in his hands, black hair falling over his shoulder not appearing to notice her.
While waiting for Draco to be discharged from ministry custody, she learned of how Snape had taken a break from teaching at hogwarts to help prepare for Draco's release. Dumbledore had understood, but still was reluctant to let him go. He was their biggest asset in the fight against you know who.
"Professor?" She asked, hesitating in approach him. He looked at her, standing by the door and ushered her over so she stood by him.
"I've talked to Dumbledore, tomorrow we are to return." Hermione could barely hold back her surprise at that.
"But Professor, that's too soon. Draco's been through a lot and is still recovering. Is it wise to risk his safety without further preparations?"
"Trust me Granger, I've thought about that myself." He looked out the window up at the dark clouds gathering in the sky." It would be wise to wait until he completely recovers, but i don't believe we'll have time."
"What do you mean?"
"We're in the open." He said, stepping away from the window. " Draco's at risk the longer we stay here." He turned around and Hermione saw worry in his charcoal eyes. "Pack your things, we'll leave in the morning."
Not knowing what else to say, Hermione bid him goodnight." Harry, Ron, Where are you?"
Authors Note: I think the next chapter will have Draco waking up so I hope you all look forward to it.
