Summary
Draco knows the cut is nothing, but he can’t see it well enough to heal it on his own, and he… Well, he doesn’t do well with being touched or having his personal space invaded; especially when being healed. Except when it’s Granger, for some reason. She doesn’t make him feel uncomfortable or panicked. Her touch only melts him.His mind healer told him his aversion to physical contact is due to PTSD, a muggle disorder. It essentially means he was burned one too many times by touch from others in his youth. Sometimes literally.But, when he was brought in to St. Mungo’s after an auror accident, losing way too much blood and in critical condition, Granger was the one to save his life. Her little hands and pretty wand fixed him right up. Since then, he’s only allowed her to heal him, touch him, invade his personal space. No matter what the injury or situation is, only Granger can take care of him. No one else.
