Hermione was terrified. Trapped in a dark tunnel. No entrance or exit. Nothing to charm, transfigure, nothing change or move to help her get out. The walls closing in around her, her claustrophic fears increasing by the second. She kept running in attempt to escape this wretched place. Her breathing ragged and shallow. She was scared out of her mind. Suddenly an inhuman creature stepped out from in front of her and hissed menacingly, coming closer.
Her heart stopped as she fumbled for her wand. Spell after spell, nothing happened. She finally let out a fearful whimper and started weeping, waiting for death. Suddenly a light burst from above. Someone grabbed Hermione and snatched from the impeding danger. "Hermione, are you all right?" A voice whispered as a gentle hand caresses her tear-stained face. She looked up into the eyes of her rescuer. Those enchanting grey orbs. Malfoy?
And then Hermione awoke. What was that? Draco Malfoy? Why? Questions swirled around in her head. Holding the soft, maroon covers for support, she slowly sat up on her bed. How is this possible? What was it? Why? The mantra of questions had started up again. She shook her head. She needed to think. She headed for the common room, clutching the nightstand for support, still dizzy from the vivid dream. As she found her favorite spot in the common room, she continually stared at the fire, picking apart this dream.
Draco Malfoy lied awake in bed, topless, yet beads of sweat quickly gathered at his forehead. Why could he not stop? His mind kept coming back to her damned face. The wide doe eyes. The glistening tears, sliding off her face. The long chocolate brown curls. Why? Why?
This was incomprehensible. He hated her. She
was beneath him. He kept fiercely telling himself. But then why did
he keep thinking about her? Why? He pulled at his messy golden hair
in agony, in despair. What was this? Abnormal. Inconceivable. Yet he
could not shy away from it. His mind only focused on
her.
"Impossible" he whispered to himself,
"Impossible."
End of Chapter Two.
