„Hermione?... Hermione?... Hey you're here?", I heard Rons voice at last. I guess I was so in to my thoughts that I did not hear him for about five minutes . I blinked my eyes and finaly spoke to him:
„Yeah, I'm sorry. I guess I was lost in my thoughts", I smiled.
„So? Since you can hear and all... what Dumbledore wanted from you?" Harry asked me full with excitement.
I thought abot what to answer for a while. I could not figure it out – what was better – to lie or to tell the truth. Harry will be so pissed, I knew that. Well... Here goes the truth...
„He has a mission for me. Sort of...."
„A mission?" Harry and Ron said togother, their eyes sparkled and they leaned closer to me.
„Yeah. It's abot Malfoy."
Harry raised his eyebrow but kept his mouth shut.
„You know how he's on our side right now and everything? Well Dumbledore don't trust him.."
„Ha! I knew it!" Harry interrupted me. Huge smile was spreading on to his face, like on a childs face when Christmas is coming.
„Oh grow up", I spat at him and he stoped smiling at once.
„Sorry", he murmured.
„As I was saying.. Dumbledore does not trust him completely.. Harry could you please stop smiling like a baby? You are distracting me! Well he fears also for his life.. Dumbledore thinks that Death eaters will try to contact Malfoy so they could get to him and kill him."
„That would not be a big loss", Ron murmured and I gleared at him.
„Honestly could you both stop it? Dumbledore wants me to keep an eye on Malfoy in a very weird way..."
„You need to hide in his closet so you could spy on him?" Ron chuckled.
„Or maybe under his bed? We all know that Malfoy is having his own room so he could be safer than in Slytherins comon room. So he must be lonely. You could help him with that if you hided under his bed!" Harry laughted.
„If you will keep doing this I will not tell you what's my mission about" I pouted at them and crosed my arms across my chest.
„Sorry", they both mubled.
Oh well, they are my best friends...
„I will see him in my dreams", I wispered.
„How? What?" Ron asked in a high piched voice.
Oh... Ron and his jealousy. The thought of me dreaming about another bloke makes him suffer I guess.
„There is a spell and a special dream potion. I must drink the potion and then say the spell. After I'll fall asleep I will mentaly, not physically go to a place were Malfoy will be. As if I dream of him. He wil not see me, but I will see him", I stoped talking and looked at boys with their mouths hanging wide open.
„Honestly..", I shook my head.
„Why you? It's Malfoy after all. It's not safe," Harry raised his voice.
„It's only Malfoy Harry and I think it would not be safe if you were there alone with him."
„What? Hermione what are you..?"
„I'm just saying, that just because it's Malfoy you could not controle your hate towards him and you would use this mission to somehow hurt him", Harry gaped at me with disbelieve.
„Oh come on Harry,You know I'm right."
He just looked at me for a while.
„Are you saying that Dumbledore would not trust me with Malfoys well being?"
„Yes", I breathed with relief when I saw that my answer will not make him shout. He just thought about it for a while and shook his head.
„Why not me then?" Ron asked.
„Oh Ron ,we all know that you would end up traped in these dreams forever becauce you would say the spell wrong or mixed the potion wrong. And then we would have to save you from seeing Malfoy in your dreams forever," I smiled at him and he smirked at me.
„I guess you're right. But I don't like the thought about you dreaming about him."
„Ron, it will not be like that. I'll just keep an eye on him. That's all", I touched his arm lightly to comfort him. Rons ears turned bright red and I smiled.
„When are you going to start you mission?" he was worried a bit.
„Actually I'm going to start it right now."
I got up to my feet. Said my goodnights to everyone and went to my room. Thank God I was alone. I mixed that damn potion after instructions Snape wrote to me and drunk it. Yuk, it did taste like crap. I got under my covers, wispered the spell and waited to be draged in to Malfoys world. Oh the joy.
