AN: Hehe! I've decided to write another fanfic based on my dreams! This time, without the humor…Maybe I'll add a chapter that tells how the original dream went at the end of the story. Anyway, this is a Draco/Hermonie Fic., and if the characters behave out of what you're used to, its cause I had to do some adjusting for them to fit the dream.

Disclamer: I don't own HP…blah blah blah…but be warned, I DO OWN MY DREAMS!!!! MY DREAMS YOU HEAR ME!!!!!! DON'T YOU DARE STEAL THEM BECAUSE I'LL SEND AN ARMY OF COWS AFTER YOU!!!

Dark Fantasies

Hermonie sat in the palace garden, over looking her flowers. She carefully de-weeded the flower patch as she thought excitedly of what would happen tonight. Her brothers, Harry and Ron would come home today! She hadn't seen them for a month and she really missed them. Ever since their parents died, killed by a mad faery, Harry and Ron had to watch over all the human lands, a hard burden for them. Especially since the vampyres had begun to invade their territory, pushing deeper with each raid. But none of that mattered to Hermonie as much as her brothers' safe return.

By the time she had finished with the flowers and moved onto the vegetables, the sun was already making its journey down.

A maidservant ran out of the castle and towards her mistress. Stopping in front of her, she took a moment to catch her breath, before quickly addressing Hermonie,

"My lady, the two princes will be here shortly. They sent runners ahead of them and should arrive with the hour. You should hurry and change."

Hermonie looked up in surprise. Had it been that long? She loved to work in the garden and it was hard for her to believe that so much time had already passed. But in her excitement of seeing Harry and Ron again, she jumped up and ran to the castle, shouting a quick thanks to her maid.

Ginny sighed as she looked at her princess run into the castle. She was growing up, but inside, she was still a child. Smiling, she followed Hermonie into the palace knowing her mistress would need her help in getting ready, and sure enough, as soon as she walked into Hermonie's rooms,

"GINNY!!! I NEED YOUR HELP!!! I CAN'T FIND MY CLOTHES!!!!"

------

Harry looked forward to being home again. He wanted to see his younger sister. Even though she never complained, he knew she was lonely in the castle all by herself. He looked over at his brother Ron, and wasn't surprised to see him absorbed in his own thoughts.

"Worried about Hermonie?" He asked, knowing what the answer was.

"No."

Harry mentally counted, "1, 2, 3, 4, …now"

"Yes," Ron muttered sullenly.

Harry grinned. He knew Ron liked to pretend he didn't care for anyone, but Harry knew he was actually a big softie, especially when it came to Hermonie.

Harry soon also became absorbed in his own thoughts as they neared home. Hermonie was growing up, fast. In fact, it seemed like every time Ron and him left the palace for a few weeks, she grew a year. When they reached the castle gates, Harry and Ron left their horses with the stable boy.

They walked up to the palace gates and were greeted as a bushel of hazelnut colored hair threw itself at them. Harry laughed and hugged Hermonie, and after a few minutes, Ron too, joined in the happy reunion. Pulling himself out of the hug, he looked Hermonie over. She had grown a lot. He was about to mention this, when Ron voiced his thoughts,

"Wow, Hermycrab! Did you have another growth spurt while we were gone?" He smiled, knowing what her first words would be.

"Don't call me that name!!! And I don't think I grew a lot. You two are just gone too often." She pouted.

Harry smiled sadly.

"You know we really don't want it that way, Hermycrab."

Hermonie grinned. "I know!"

"Can we go eat now?" Ron's voice cut in. "The accused horse I was riding jolted me like mad. In fact, I think it was having fun, bruising my behind."

Laughing, the trio entered the castle, and to dinner.

-------

A pair of dark cloaked figures were conversing in a dimly lit hall.

"Are the preparations for tonight's ceremony ready?"

"Yes, sire."

"And the human sacrifices?"

"Already captured and locked up."

The tall dark shadow rubbed his shin thoughtfully.

"And my sons, are they ready as well?"

The smaller one, seemingly like a servant trembled.

"Master Thomas is in his chambers getting ready."

"Good, and what about Draco?"

"…Master Draco…can't be found, sire."

"WHAT!!!"

------

After dinner, the three siblings went up to Hermonie's room to have a good long talk.

Hermonie sighed comfortably as she plopped down on her bed. It was big, large enough for all three of them, with a bit of left over space. Harry and Ron laid on both sides of her, sinking their tired heads into the soft pillows. After a few minutes of contented silence, Harry spoke what was on his mind.

"Hermycrab?"

"Hmmm? What is it Harry?" She asked, sleepily.

"What do you think of Viktor Krum?"

"The king of the Southern lands?"

"Yes."

"He's…nice, but, well, he isn't too friendly and very possessive."

Harry and Ron shared a secret and worried look.

Ron spoke next, taking up where Harry left off.

"You know, he was very kind to us when we visited, and he was very courteous to you as well."

Hermonie sighed. Why were they asking her these pointless questions?

"I know that, but he doesn't treat his servants and people very well. And, he gets very jealous if anyone has something that he wants, but can't have."

Another look passed between the two brothers.

"Viktor has proposed to you. We met him at the border of our lands and he asked us for your hand."

Hermonie's eyes, which had been lazily drifting shut, suddenly sprung open.

"What?! What did you tell him?" She asked worry etched in her face.

Ron spoke up.

"We told him that we'd talk it over with you, but he wants to talk to you himself. In fact, he should arrive tomorrow."

A shadow passed over Hermonie's face, not going unnoticed by the other two.

"Hermonie?"

"Yes Harry?"

"You don't have to say yes, Ron and I only want you to be happy."

"I know," she mumbled.

Ron sighed, before rubbing Hermonie's head.

"Think it over Hermycrab, and we'll talk more later, okay?"

Hermonie nodded mutely, as Harry and Ron each gave her a good night hug and a peck on the cheek. After they left, Hermonie laid down, a million questions whirling in her head.

------

A dark shadow hovered over the window, as he gazed through it. For five nights, he had watched this human girl, and for five days, he did not feed upon human blood. Draco Malfoy questioned himself as he stared at the human girl. How did this happen? He had picked the girl to feed on one night, and instead, he was enraptured with her. So much, that he came back, night after night, just to see her again.

Tonight, he had seen her with the two other boys. His blood boiled, for some odd reason, as he thought back to the scene where they gave them good night kisses. And Draco had heard how they planned to marry her off to some low lifed human king. He wouldn't allow any such thing to happen! She was his prey! With that thought, he unfurled his pitch black wings and with one list look at the girl, flew off into the night.
