Hermione ran as fast as she could, never looking backwards as she did so. Her heart thumped. THUMP THUMP THUMP. She could feel the blood rushing to her ears and all she could hope for right now was to be able to escape from wherever she was.

Behind her, she knew was a flash of red. She gasped, not wanting to see it. It had been chasing her as far as she could remember. Or should she say 'he'. She had longed for him, her heart told her once. That she had wanted him so badly she might have murdered someone. She stopped running and closed her eyes. "PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE!" She screamed. "LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!"

Opening her eyes again after what seemed like forever, she saw that red was gone. Suddenly, a warmth reached her body and arms were around her. She felt safe for some reason. Lifting her her face up she found that her eyes and met dark ones.

Hermione woke up silently and found herself in a very dark room. She was alone on her bed and she found herself worn out from the dream that she had just had. It had felt real. She remembered the blood rushing around her and the sweat that had been dripping from her forehead. She had been scared. But then she remembered the dark eyes and smiled.

The sun began to rise and tiny bits of light leaked into her room. She could hear the crickets give out their last call.

"Hermione?" a voice called out.

Hermione turned around and found a face no further than five centimeters away from hers. She saw the same dark eyes that she had seen in her dreams and smiled. It was Viktor.
