I did not open my mouth to talk before another good minutes. He had not been saying anything else during that. I never knew that he could be that patient kind of person. He used to look so cold, and flat, indifferent, but never patient. I had been sure he used to have everything going his way. Then, it hadn't been a surprise that he had grown up to a spiteful, spoiled, impatient boy, had it?

"Are you real?" I reached out my hand to his cheek. I was still having a hard time believing in spite of the evidences. But if it had been real, he would've drawn back and forming a disgusted face on his face. Or I thought so. "Of course you're not." I answered my self as I continued to trace his pointy face, along the cheekbone and his jaw. I was sure that somehow, I had maintained the expression of Luna Lovegood plastered across my face involuntarily.

By then, he had been more composed. He had been no longer in his frantic state. To be honest, both of us had been frantic at the first place. And somehow, his calmness brought me to the same condition as his.

His eyes were still focused on mine, as he took my hand hat had been touching his face, gently and rested it on his heart. I felt my stomach flip a little at this. "Of course I am. Can you feel that?" He asked. My heart went a little faster. He asked me whether I could feel his heartbeats. I was torn between being more skeptical or believe that he was truly there. My head hurt terribly from all this thinking. I could not let anything more than a stiff nod.

"Then I am real, aren't I?" He said way too softly for a Malfoy as he took both of my hand in his.

"You can't be," I drew back my hands, my eyes were brimming with tears that were threatened to spill.

"Granger!" He raised his voice a little bit, but was still somewhat calm. He took a good grip of my upper arms and shook me lightly as though I had been asleep and he tried to wake me. "What do I have to do to make you believe that I am really here?"

"You can tell me, when was the last time I saw you. What happened to me and what you had done to me," I couldn't believe I blurted out just like that. Even though that was the first thing that had come to my mind, I still thought that telling my very dream about Malfoy to himself hadn't been the cleverest thing.

I forced my self to stare back at his gray eyes. In spite of what he had done to me in the past, I had to admit that Draco Malfoy was a handsome bloke. He had a perfect build, that any guy want. A perfect pale complexion, perfect platinum blonde hair that seemed much softer than mine, but of course everyone else's hair was much softer than mine, since my hair was a complete disaster, but that was beside the point. His hair was softer than everyone else's. A perfect face structure that held the most part of his aristocratic features, a perfect smile, or generally more like a smirk, and last but not least, the most perfect attribute of him, his steely, gray orbs that seemingly able to melt me down under its gaze.

I had mentioned the word perfect referring to him, in a terrifyingly large amount. And I couldn't believe I was able to detail him in that kind of way. That stewed me just a little bit. Hell, it stewed much more than just a little bit. I was just gratified I didn't say those things out. I tried as hard as I could not to blush even the slightest. It had been an effortful attempt when his eyes bored through mine.

"It was last night, you were knocked out and I had stayed with you until you awoke. I recall, I told you some personal things, and-"

"You really did that?" I asked in disbelief. The tears that I had been trying to hold back were spilled, eventually.

"Yes, I did I-" He reached to wipe the single tears with his thumb for a mere moment and drew back his before I could even response. I let that slip, though.

"The whole pride thing, and the girl thing, was real?"

"Yes, I even told you that I rather-" He looked down momentarily and then back at me with his eyes growing wide as if something hit him. Something that had to be a realisation.

I couldn't believe that moment, Draco Malfoy, right in front of me, not spatting anything hurtful or slightly offensive, telling me that my impossible dream that I would never thought in my life would ever be, had been real. It felt really different. A good kind of difference. But I chose not to be too naïve and acted like he had changed entirely. He had been the bully to my friends and I. I was still unable to bring myself to completely trust him.

I was just going to try not to be too immature. Well, at least I tried not to show it. I couldn't entirely curb my immature mind from wandering off, could I?

"Don't tell me I gave you this idea?"

"Well, I don't even know why you're acting like it had not been the best idea of yours, and yes, you sort of did." I blurted out. Damn. It certainly had not supposed to come out like that. I thought I had a little too much sarcasm dripping out of my mouth from what I had been intended from the first place.

"I can understand why you cannot trust me," He said with those hurting gray eyes of his.

I felt a pang of guilt in instance. If I had not grown up with him, I would have believed his words just because the look of his eyes. But it turned out I had been immature before I even realise it. Maybe, even the slightest bit of that sarcasm had not been necessitated after all. Therefore I couldn't help but apologise.

"I'm sorry," I said facing the ground.

"You have nothing to be sorry about, I told you I understand." I didn't have any idea why he did. I had never deemed him to be an understanding person.

"I was being childish."

"I know," He said as he stood up and smirked. That kind of smirk that would swoon girls away. That stupid smirk that I had been hated for so long. That horrifying smirk that he used to flash when he and his cronies made my life in hell. I thought he was just going away when he turned around then held his had towards me and said,

"Care to join me for a ride?"
