Piercing Eyes
Chapter 1: Snape and Draco are evil, and so is this dream!
I angrily stamped down the hallway. God, I was furious! 50 points from Gryffindor for being not even two minutes late in stupid Potion class! That was so NOT fair! Oh, how I hated Snape. Snape who disadvantaged Gryffindors ALL the time. Snape who always took points off my house. Snape who always tried to catch me breaking to rules. And - Snape who absolutely worshipped that lousy little grey-blue eyed, silverblonde Slytherin bastard.
Draco Malfoy.
Damn, if I hated anyone more than Severus Snape, it definitely was little Malfoy. Sure, he wasn't exactly "little" anymore. Now, being in their seventh your in Hogwarts, the always detested evil Malfoy boy had turned into a tall, well-built, muscular young man of 18 years. His blue-grey eyes however still had that evil little twist, especially when he tried to make fun of somebody. Preferrably me. Miss Hermione Granger. Oh-so ugly Gryffindor mudblood. But even if Malfoys outer appeareance had slighly changed, his hateful, cruel character hadn't changed one tiny bit!
No surprise it was him who informed Snape of me coming late today! The teacher wouldn't even have noticed it, with his head in the cupboard looking for something. Hell, the lesson hadn't even started yet, and I actually had been able to sneak in and sit down at my desk VERY quietly.
Of course I should have known better. I should have realized that I would never ever get away with it. Not in Potion class. Not with stupid Malfoy.
"Hey Granger, you dare to come late?"
I couldn't even say a word, so fast had Severus Snape spun around and spoken "50 points off Gryffindor for coming late. Watch your time Miss Granger." I had decided not to reply, since I knew Snape would take more points off my house if I tried to start a discussion.
"Ugh. Screw all of these Slytherin bastards!" I disgustedly thought to myself and quickened her pace. Two minutes until Transformations class, and hell, I didn't want to be late AGAIN. Especially since Professor Mc Gonagall wasn't the nicest teacher either.
Right then I almost ran into the person whom I wanted to see least right now. Draco. Wait? Had I actually thought of him is "Draco"? What was I thinking?! I slightly shook my head and finally looked up to the pale face of the boy in front of me. "Watch yout feet, Malfoy!" I hissed at him.
Malfoys nice-shaped lips turned into an evil grin. Yuck! Nice-shaped LIPS! I couldn't believeI actually had thoughts like this? How did I get the idea that Malfoy had nice-shaped lips? Yuck ! He was pale as a ghost, and his eyes were always evilly staring at someone, and his lips, his mouth, hmmm - 'yuck! stop it now!'I told myself. There was no way I would find a damned Malfoy attractive. Well, he was in very good shape to wasn't he -
"Watch yourself, you filthy mudblood!" Draco interrupted my thoughts. He still grinned. "And you know, Granger" he added, "don't drool too much over me." He smirked once more and with that he quickly walked away.
I finally managed to close my mouth. Had that really happened? Had I been staring at Malfoy, thinking about his good looking parts - not that he had any - and made a complete fool out of myself?
I sighed deeply. 'I know, why I'm acting so weird' I thought to myself. 'It must be, because I didn't have a boyfriend for such a long time'. It seemed like a plausibe explanation to me. Harry was going out with Ron's sister, Ginny. Ron himself fell in love with Parvati. And I was alone. All alone. Sure, I was still best friends with Ron and Harry, but we didn't spend as much time with each other, as we had used to.
Malfoy wasn't going out with anyone either, was he? I quickly chased this thought out of my head, and finally hurried to Transformation class. Ugh, now I was late again. If the whole day was going to be like this, I'd end up in detention. Blame Malfoy. Ugh.

Ahhh nice day. My first lesson - potions class - had already been great fun. I had a good laugh, when stupid know-it-all Granger came late. Of couse I reported it to Snape. I mean,aftera ll I was Snapes favorite student, right? Not the I personally liked Professor Snape that much. His preferation for me almost scared me sometimes. Almost, that is. Almost, because I never get scared. I'm a Malfoy.
Granger had actually got 50 points off Gryffindor. Too bad she didn't have to go to detention as well. But 50 points is quite alot already, so I was quite content with myself. I had my reasons too didn't i?
Then, on the hallway, I had almost bumped into the filthy mudblood. And she even dared to hiss at me! "Watch your feet, Malfoy" she said. To ME! To Draco Malfoy! And don't ask me why, but the only reply i came up with was "Watch yourself, you filthy mudblood." Of course, I had at LEAST managed to insult her. But still. "Watch yourself" Ha. What a lame excuse for a snappy answer.
I had realized that my reply to her hadn't been as mean is I wanted it to be, right after I said it. But I was wrong expecting an apropriate answer from her. I noticed Granger was staring at me with a weird dreamy look. Had someone put a spell on her or what? It took me quite a few seconds. Hah. I almost had forgotten, she was a girl!
I'm so good-looking really!
I pulled my mouth into a smirk and probably apruptly stopped Grangers daydreams. About me! Hah!
"And you know, Granger" I grinned, "don't drool too much over me." Then I walked away, and headed to the Slytherin common room. I loved being Slytherin. Ahh it was great always being the "bad one". Seriously, I enjoyed being "evil" very much.
I only found Goyle and Crabbe in the common room and I really didn't have the nerve to talk to these two stupid gits right now, so I crossed the room and went up to the sleeping room. I lay down on my big bed, and my thoughts -again - drifted off to the mudblood, and the way she had stared at my earlier.
Not that it meant anything to me. Hell no! She still was a filthy mudblood, and a very annoying one as well. Always hiding behind our towers of books she was carrying most of the time. Ah, too bad she didn't have glasses, like her beloved Potter. That would fit her image of an ugly, boring know-it-all. However, she didn't wear classes, and also the rest of her didn't look so bad.
I grinned. If my father could read my thoughts now, he's be furious. 'Thinking like THAT about a MUDBLOOD?!','She STILL has better grades than you Draco!!' or 'You put shame on the family name!' were just a few of Dad's possible reactions that came to my mind.
But who cared about Dad? I was adult, my own master, and I could do anything I want, and with anyone I was pleased to. At that thought a smile crossed my face again, but imidiatelly fell off. I admit it, I got a little carried away with that here.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a very dark room, but although it seemed like now sunlight had every reached this place, it was full of beautiful flowers of all shapes and sizes. There was no furniture in the room, except a very large bed with a purple velvet curtain all around it. I was astonished of the incredible magic at a dark place like this, and looked around more curiosly. Suddenly I froze.
An enourmous snake. All white. Right on the bed!
I reached for my wand, but it wasn't there! Impossible! I had never lost anything!
Realizing I had nothing to defend myself, I turned around searching for the exit, only to find out that the room had no doors or windows at all! 'Don't panic, Hermione, don't' I told myself over and over.
Turning my head back, I froze again. That damn sname was right in front of my now. It slowsly creeped around me, then stopped with it's head right in front of my face. I tried to scream, but I couldn't, all that I could do was a weird purr-sound. The snake didn't move anymore, but stared right at me. I had never seen a snake like this particular one. it was of glooming white color, very long, and had grey-blue eyes. I blinked. A snake with grey blue eyes?
I didn't get the chance to think about it any longer, as my surrounding suddenly changed and I found myself in the Forbidden Forest. God, help me, this was getting very scary indeed!
And yet, I was shocked again. This time by an enourmous dragon. The dragon was all white too, just like the snake had been, and slowly bent down to me. And then .- what am I doing, I start to KISS that dragon!
With that I woke up. It was early the next morning. The sun found her way through the large bedroom windows, and had started to tickle my nose. What a scary dream that was! A white snake and a white dragon. She had to look into some books later, and she if she could find out anything about it.

What's the dream all about?
Is Draco really so sure of himself ? (okay stupid question, of course he is)
