Side by Side: Dreams

Do you ever dream?

Don't we all?

No, not like that, but like… I don't know, maybe dream of a different life?

No. My life's perfect.

Huh.

Huh?

Nothing.

Sure.

Silence

You're life is perfect.

I know.

You're rich.

Very.

Good Looking.

Definitely.

Intelligent.

Naturally.

Pureblood.

Silence

Is that it?

What else do you want me to say?

Nothing.

Huh.

What do you dream about?

I dream that I'm more than just a muggleborn, that I am more than just a girl. I dream that I am equal.

Huh.

Yeah.

Silence

I lied.

About?

Dreaming.

What do you dream about?

You.

Hermione turns her head to look at Draco lying in the grass next to her. He's staring at the sky, face tense, eyes squinting against the bright sunlight reflected of the castle windows. His face is turning a little red, and she wonders if wizards have a spell for sunblock. He could use some. Perhaps she will invent one.

Hermione slides her hand closer to his and loops her index finger onto his. He loops his around her. She turns back to face the sky, ignoring blade of grass tickling her neck or the heat from the sun against black tights, and stares off into the sky.

It's good to dream.

Yeah.
