"Granger! Wake up already!"

"Come on, Granger!"

"It's only a dream!"

"It's okay, Hermione! You're safe" they whisper, this time right next to my ear.

I launch forward a scream caught in my throat. Malfoy hovers in front of me, my face pressed close to his chest. He shrinks back as I try to control my breathing. "She was. . . she was right there. I swear. . . she was there."

His silver eyes harden at my words. I take in what is not Malfoy Manor, but instead my dorm room at Hogwarts. Tears marked my face, my throat tortured from screaming. I freeze in realization that I was merely dreaming before bursting into silent tears.

It had seemed so real.

Malfoy steps back, waiting for me to calm down, before realizing that wouldn't be happening any time soon. His hand reaches up to pull at his hair, watching me.

"She's no where near here, Granger. The war is over." His words are quiet.

"I-I know." My tears slow down until the only remaining indicator of my breakdown is the redness of my face. "Sorry, it won't happen again."

He turns on his heel, gliding towards my door before glancing back at me. saying, "Don't make promises you can't keep."

It isn't until he has left that I realize he called me Hermione.
