Fire

A clock on the wall chimed it was three hours past midnight, but a light still glowed from under the door across the hall. Inside Hermione Granger sat her eyes fixated on the newest book she was reading. If anyone was awake and had walked in that moment they would have thought she had just lost track of time while reading, but she hadn't. In fact her eyes were not even moving nor was she turning pages. She had lost track of time, but it was not the book that made her do so her minds' thoughts had wandered to school and a certain blonde boy that she loved to hate or perhaps hated to love.

He had done whatever was in his power to harass her and her friends since the moment they had met, and his father, a death eater a right hand to Voldemort the greatest enemy the wizarding world had yet to face.

It seemed so long ago that she had left the school and yet so long until she returned, but in reality there was about half the summer left. Only a month had past and there was only a month to go. She longed for the return to her studies and to her friends and despite the torment Draco had put her through she longed to return to him too.

As she thought about Draco she began to think thoughts she had never thought before, but quickly snapped back to reality when she realized that she was thinking about her and her friends enemy.

"What am I thinking?" she said aloud to the empty room. She pulled a piece of paper from the drawer in the night table beside her and decided to write to her friends. "This might help me forget about those thoughts," she thought and began to write, but as she wrote her thoughts travelled back to him. "He's so hot, but why does he have to be such an ass hole. No Hermione don't think about him like that. You really musn't I mean his father is a death eater and for all you know he probably is too. But I wish..." Her mind trailed off again she threw the letter to the floor of her perfectly clean room. "I guess I'll just go to sleep. I'll start fresh in the morning.

Her dreams gave her no rest. She dreamt of school, usually soothing to her, and him.
