Chapter four: Screaming in the Night~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~```
Hermione screamed and sat up quickly looking wildly around her room. She was breathing heavily and was sure all the other prefects must have heard her. She had a premonition and she didn't like it at all. It showed her all sorts of people dieing in all sorts of gruesome and gory ways right in front of her eyes. She placed a hand over her heart and willed her breathing to become less raged. Her door opened and Hermione looked up started. Draco rushed in worry in his eyes. Hermione leaned back against the head board as Draco sat on the edge of her bed.
"Are you alright? I heard you scream and it sounded as if you were dieing or something." He said concerned. She smiled at his concern and placed a reassuring hand on his cheek.
"I'm fine bad dream that's all." She said and sighed. She had never had a premonition when she slept and never one so horrible.
"Glad it wasn't anything serious like it was when your room was pink." He teased giving her a smile. She punched his arm playfully and hugged him.
"Nice to know some one cares about me." She stated. She then started laughing. Draco gave her a confused looked and waited for her to explain.
"Did you see the look on Ron's face when he thought I was dead?" She said between her laughing fits. Draco laughed as well, he liked the way she laughed it was better then when she all dark and quiet on the train.
"Fuck." Hermione said glancing at her clock on the night table. "It's four in the morning! I'll never get back to sleep now." She said making a face. Even though none of the lights were on in her room he could still make out her angry expression. She settled her self back down with a sigh and turned on her side and looked up at Draco who was still sitting on her bed.
"You can lie down if you want. You don't have to stay sitting." Hermione said raising her eyes brows at him trying to get him to loosen up. He had seemed a little up tight after they had kissed and walked back to the common room quietly. Of course when they got back to the common room he could make noise if he wanted because he was just taking her to the hospital wing. Hermione however couldn't make a sound and she seemed to glide across the room in her quietness. She wondered if she scared him at all. She pushed her way into his thoughts and looked through them careful to not let Draco be alerted by her entrance into his mind. His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts some about her some about his father but all seemingly coming back to the subject of her. Hermione left his mind and looked into his eyes which were lost in thoughts that she had read.
"Are you ok?" Hermione asked softly. He didn't answer her he just turned his head to face her.
"I know that you went into my mind." He said softly looking down. "Now you must know how I feel about you." He continued. "I've never felt this emotion before. My father always told me that it was for people that are weak. But right now I can see that it's not for the weak but it's something that should be fought over." He said ending his little speech. Hermione took in a deep shaky breath and watched him. She didn't know what to say so she just lay there not moving or daring to move or else he might leave.
"Love is something that is fought about Draco." Hermione said softly and sat up moving closer to him. She placed her hand on his cheek again making him look at her. Hermione took in a sharp breath as another premonition came to her. She saw Draco walking down a hallway and a hooded figure came out of nowhere a grabbed him and they both disappeared. She then saw a dark room that smelled of death. The hooded figure pointed his wand at Draco a muttered a curse. Draco cried out and doubled over in pain shaking. She was there suddenly and she called out to the figure. It looked up raised it's wand at her and shouted some curse that made her fly back against the other wall. Hermione was shaken out of her premonition when she heard Draco calling her name shaking her slightly. She shook her head and looked into Draco's eyes.
'I had a premonition. And it wasn't good' She said into Draco's head.
'What did you see?' he asked her his voice passing weakly through her mind.
'I saw you walking down a hallway and a hooded figure garb you and disappear with you. I then saw you being placed under a curse until I appeared and I was thrown into the wall.' She thought back looking into his eyes scared.
"I don't want to loose you." She whispered looking down. Draco searched her face for any sign of emotion. But she kept her emotions well hidden like he did. He reached out and gently pushed her chin up to look at him. He leaned his head in a kissed her lightly. She kissed back and could feel her body relaxing.
"You'll never loose me. I'll always be here for you." He said softly looking into her eyes. She smiled a small smile and leaned her fore head against his.
"It's interesting how people can be brought closer together over little things." She said laughing softly but hinting that she was unsure.
"I agree it is strange." He said pulling away from her. "I guess I should be going then." He said starting to get off the bed. But Hermione grabbed his arm.
"Don't go." She whispered looking him in the eye. There was something that made him sit back on the bed and lay down next to her. It was a need for someone to care for her that made him wrap her in his arms and hold her close. He felt her warm breath on his chest and smiled. He liked the feeling of her body against his how her skin felt so soft as it touched his own skin. With his head filled with thoughts of Hermione Draco drifted off to sleep with Hermione pressed against his body.
*******************
Draco woke to find Hermione gone. He sat up quickly and looked around. Her jimjams were in a small pile by her closet. The door to her closet and the door leading out of her room were open. He grabbed a robe and walked into their mini common room but she wasn't there either. He heard the muffled voices of people yelling down in the bigger common room and opened the door to be greeted by Hermione's loud booming voice.
"You inconsiderate assholes!! How dare you think that I would do anything with you! You're lucky I don't try to kill you two!" She yelled furiously. Draco made his way down the stairs and the sight he saw when he got their made his stop in his tracks. He knew Hermione was powerful but never thought she was this powerful. All the prefects and the head boy and girl were their except for one thing. The head boy and on red haired prefect were pinned to the high ceiling by an unseen force with a look of terror on their faces. Hermione glared at the two boys on the ceiling. She lowered her hand so that they thought that she was going to put them down but just before their feet touched the ground she flung them back up again.
"Hermione!" Draco called out snapping out of his trance and walking over to her. He placed a hand on her shoulder. "Put them down." He whispered in her ear. Hermione looked at him there was murder in her eyes. She was pissed by what the-boy-who-lived-to-annoy and his side kick did to make her this mad and use her odd new powers on them in front of every one.
"Please. Put them down. We can make them suffer in other ways then this c'mon." Draco whispered again replacing his hand on her arm and lowering it slowly. She didn't refuse his moving of her arm. She just gazed into his eyes and got lost in his thoughts of revenge against the other two. Harry and Ron's feet touched the ground and they fell back onto on of the love seats breathing heavily with fright.
"You know. I never thought you could wet your self for just being held several feet above our heads. I thought you were braver then that Potter." Hermione spat noticing wet looking spot near his groin. Harry blushed and looked away. Draco led Hermione back up to the common room and closed the door quietly leaving everyone else to stare terrified after them. Draco must have some type of power over her to make her stop when she was doing to Harry and Ron. They all thought that and slowly one by one the left for their dorms.
It was a good thing that it was a Saturday or else they would have been very late for their first class after Hermione's out burst in the common room.
"God! Ronald Weasley can you not think so loudly!" Hermione yelled at the door after a few minutes. She knew he wouldn't have heard her but she just felt like yelling at the moment.
"So, what happened down there that made you explode on them like you did?" Draco asked from his spot on one of the chairs by the fire place. Hermione looked at him and her pupils dilated and she pushed the memory of what happened into his head.
"I see your point. I would have done the same thing if I were you." Draco said nodding his head knowingly at her. Hermione plopped down on Draco's lap for no reason and stretched so that she was lying flat over his knees. Draco raised an eyebrow at her.
"No, there is no reason for this or for my madness." Hermione answered his thought. "I just felt like sitting here. Or you could say lying here." She continued. She was right she wasn't exactly sitting she more like lying like a blanket draped over his legs. Her body lay kind of limp on his legs her body arched so that her arms were over her head and her hands touched the floor as well as her feet did.
"Just checking." He said eyeing her piercing going through her belly button. It was a scorpion with a long tail. The tail was the part that went through her skin with the curve that had the point above it. The body covered her belly button and if someone was to look somewhat far away they would think that a real scorpion lay on her stomach. Hermione sat up and stretched her arms down to her feet revealing a tattoo of a black serpent coiled. Draco touched the tattoo gently with his index finger and began to trace the out line. Hermione sat up quickly trying to suppress giggles.
"Don't it tickles." She said. Draco gave her a devilish smirk and started to tickle her. She screamed and tried to run but her caught her around the middle and tackled her to the ground tickling her as he sat straddled his self across her waist. Hermione's body started hurt from her laughter and she tried to push him off but didn't succeed much in doing so.
"Stop! Please! It hurts!" She cried as she gasped for air. Draco stopped but didn't move from his position as she gasped for air clutching her sides. She glared at him half heartedly rubbing her sides taking in deep breaths as if she had run a long distance.
"That," Hermione stated. "Was not very nice."
"I know, but it was fun." Draco answered shrugging a shoulder at her. Hermione raised an eyebrow at him and raised a hand. She flicked it and smirked evilly at him.
"What did you do?" He asked starting to get up. Hermione grabbed his wrist and pulled him back down so that his face was about and inch from hers.
"Are you sure you want to know?" She asked softly brushing her lips against his making his skin tingle. He raised and eyebrow at her.
"What did you do?" He asked again this time with a hint of being despite in his voice. Her smirk turned into and evil grin.
"Look in your room." She whispered letting go of her death grip on his wrist. He got up and made his way slowly and cautiously to his room. He opened the door to see a bunch of leprocons (is that how u spell it?) playing cards with a heard of goats standing around his room. He heard Hermione's hysterical laughter in the background as he stared in shock around his room.
"I'm going to kill you!" Draco yell turning and running towards her. Hermione looked rather shocked and stopped laughing. He grabbed her wrist with a vice grip and glared at her. Hermione blinked and they weren't in their mini common room anymore.
