I laid there stunned. Could I really be that creative and dream such a thing. Of course not I reassured myself. No dream could ever be so real….and amazing. I heard footsteps walking behind the couch, I sat up and looked over my shoulder to see Draco dressed in his usual black attire, heading for the door. Well maybe it was a dream. I laid back down, and closed my eyes hoping last nights experience truly was a dream and Draco walking out the door without acknowledging me wouldn't affect me at all. The footsteps faded, and so did my consciousness.
I woke up for a second time to being warm and comfortable. I stirred and rolled over to come face to face with Draco. His icy eyes just stared at me, as I stared back. It definitely wasn't a dream. He gave a light smile and kissed my lips, and my lips welcomed his kindly.
"Finally. You have been sleeping half the day away." He said tightening his arms bringing me closer to him.
"I was up earlier, I saw you leaving." I challenged. He stiffened suddenly. My stomach jumped into my throat, and tears welled up in my eyes. He was with another girl. I tried to act as if I wasn't assuming, or what I was thinking didn't surprise me. He kissed the top of my head, and I felt the urge to pull away. He felt the tension and he gave a loud sigh.
"Hermione. It wasn't what you are thinking. At all. You're my only one, I swear to you…. This was an unpleasant meeting between me and the other Slytherins." He paused and kissed my hair again.
"They aren't to happy that I am turning my back against the Darklord. Well at least they think that I am not into it at the moment considering my father's condition." He laid his chin on my head and rubbed my back. I felt a weight being taken off my shoulder as the truth wasn't so bad. I gave him a quick kiss before I untangled my self from him. I walk towards the stairs leading to my bedroom.
"You know, I am not use to you being so bold." I heard Draco call behind me. I only smiled and kept walking. I needed time to evaluate what happened in the passed two days and how this was going to work out. Reality isn't supposed to happen like this, enemies turning into star crossed lovers, falling for each other with no more than 10 minutes worth of words. I was living another life, one that only existed in plays. If this was written on paper and set out for the world to see, they would find it surreal and impossible. I walked into my room shutting the door behind me. I walked over to my bed and sat on the edge.
So what do I do. There has to be a plan that can be devised to work around this. I have it. Of course this…this…well what ever you call it…will be a secret. Harry and Ron or any other Gryffindor wouldn't be able to understand just as much as the Slytherins. Every day, this dorm could be our place. The only place where any sign that we are…now…close, can be shown. I am sure Draco will agree. No hints, or looks in the hallways, classrooms or halls. Keep up the controversy between our friends and act out our own fights…everyone will be fooled.
I thought to myself. I had it. I decided taking a shower and getting dressed in some new clothes would be called for. It was a weekend and I had no where important to go. A t shirt and shorts would do perfect. I walked over to drawer and grabbed my toiletries and clothes, and headed to the bathroom. Draco was no where to be seen, but I didn't give a second thought about it. If this was going to work, well if it even had the possible outcome of working, I was going to have to hide my sudden jealousy. A relati--this was already in the shadows and under to many circumstances as it is, drama was unneeded.
The shower was long and hot, releasing all the stress. I stepped out and finished the process,. I finally smelled of Vanilla and my hair in a slicked back ponytail, and it felt good. I went back into my room to grab a cereal bar out of my bag. I popped it in and chewed it. After all this excitement, I couldn't eat more than that. I stepped out of the dorm and started walking down the hallway. I could always tell Draco later about the plans.
"Hey Granger, been snogging with the weasel lately?" I heard someone say behind me. I turned to see a Slytherin boy staring me down, a smile on his face. I saw Draco standing a foot or two away from him, his teeth clenched and his fists balled up. I knew I had to act fast before Draco did something that we both would regret. I walked up to him and put my hand on the boy's chest, and grabbed a handful of his shirt, tugging him down to my level.
"Just because you can't have it, doesn't mean nobody else can touch it. Quit staring, and realize you're not my type." I let go of him and walked away. I heard his Slytherin friends making fun of him. I heard him grumble angrily before I went around the corner and entered into an empty hallway.
I took a couple steps before I was pushed into an empty classroom. Suddenly I felt lips crash against mine. But these lips didn't feel right….they didn't belong to the boy I wished them to be.
