Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

Author's Note: Well i just thought i should update. This chapter don't really tell much except for a development to Draco's part.

-------

Draco sat down at the edge of the bed to think. When Ginny left the room, he felt a tiny pang of guilt but it disappeared immediately. Why should I feel guilty?

What Ginny really didn't know of course was the dreams that Draco have been having about her. Other than the dreams that had lead him to The Burrow, he had been dreaming about a particular red-head. He was drawn to her. He wanted his hands to run through her fiery red hair and he wanted to touch her soft skin with his bare hands. He simply wanted her. Draco shook off that thought and sighed in frustration.

He knew that if he stayed in The Burrow any longer, his mother might die and he did not want to lose her. But if he wants to go back to the manor and rescue her, he has to have a good plan. He knew that Death Eaters would be keeping a tight guard around the manor. But if he could use the capability taught to him, he might just able to fool them.

In the months that he was under training and tortured by the Death Eaters he had actually gained a lot of information on hexes and mind control. But he knows that he wouldn't be able to conquer them alone which was why he was right here in The Burrow, trying to get help from people that he had despise since the first time he met them. He had no idea why his dreams had brought him here but deep in his heart he knew that it was the right place to go. He knows that the Order fight against Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters and if he wants them defeated, he needs the Order's help.

He was sure that the Order had not disbanded yet because he knew that they know better that some Death Eaters were still lurking around. They wanted revenge and thought that Draco would be a great leader for them since Lucius had been. But they were wrong of course because Draco turned against the dark side. Yeas, he had followed their orders by learning and training with them but it was all for his own good. With all the information that he had gathered, it would be an advantage to go against the Death Eaters.

"Just owl me if you have any of these dream again alright?" Hermione whispered to Ginny as they descended the stairs slowly. As they walked down the stairs, they could see Harry whispering to Ron. As soon as Harry saw the girls, he stopped and changed the subject.

Hermione knew that she would manage to screw it out of the boys. No matter how much they want to hide something from Hermione, they just couldn't.

"Alright, spit it out. You guys don't whisper just for nothing."

"You tell her." Harry nudged.

"No you tell her. It's your news." Ron replied.

Hermione could see that Harry was feeling uneasy and quite nervous. He keeps shifting his glasses and Hermione knew that if he does that, it means that he was really anxious.

"I got an owl mail last night."

"And?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah that's about it." Harry replied as his ears turned a light shade of red. Ron sighed in frustration.

"He's picked to play for England in this year's Quidditch World Cup!" Ron cried out happily. With that, Hermione and Ginny congratulated Harry at the same time.

"Harry that's great! Congratulations!" Ginny said.

"Wow! Congratulations Harry!" Hermione said.

Hermione smiled at Harry and stepped forward to give him a hug and Harry blushed slightly. Ginny noticed it as his face turned pink but Ron being Ron didn't. Ginny could see that Harry was actually paying more attention to Hermione and now that she saw Harry blushing when Hermione hugged him, she wondered if there was anything more.

"You're going to France then. France is brilliant Harry! You'll love it! Mum and Dad always bring me there in the summer if we're not in Greece." Hermione started chattering about the towns in France that she had visited but Harry looked uncomfortable. Ron looked at Harry and started to laugh. "Ok, what's so funny Ron?" Hermione asked.

"It's useless telling Harry all of these. He doesn't want to go and if he is not accepting the proposal then Lionel Jordan will be England's Seeker." Ron explained.

"Lionel Jordan! That playboy from The Warriors? Oh Harry, he doesn't deserve that place in the England squad. You do!" Ginny cried out. "Why didn't you want to go anyway?"

"I just thought that the Order might need me if another war breaks out you know." Harry said lamely.

"We don't know anything yet Harry. Please go. If Ginny is saying the truth about this Jordan guy then I think you deserve that place in the squad more." Hermione pleaded.

"I'll think about it." Harry said.

"Ok that aside…I'm the new Potions teacher at Hogwarts! McGonagall straight away hired me. She said I'm the best shot and they really need someone urgently so I'm starting tomorrow!" Hermione said excitedly.

Hermione was beaming happily at all her friends but she thought she saw a flicker of sadness in Harry's eyes. But when she threw a questioning look at Harry, a small smile crossed his face.

"I'm happy for you." Harry said.

"Thank you." Hermione replied.

Hermione put on her usual brave front but deep inside, she was actually afraid. Of course she was excited at the prospect of going back to Hogwarts but this time, she would be alone. Ginny, Ron and Harry are not going to be with her and she will surely miss them. She looked over at Harry who was acting weirdly after she told everyone the news.

"Oi Harry…Ron!" Fred called out from his room. "Come check this out. George and I just discovered a new creation."

Ron immediately ran up the stairs with a stupid smile on his face. "Come on Harry, if it's successful then we'll be the first one to test it!"

Harry climbed up the stairs behind him reluctantly. The two girls sat down on the sofa sipping on Butterbeer.

"Have you noticed anything wrong with Harry lately?" Ginny asked Hermione.

"Not really. Why?"

"You mean you didn't notice how he acts around you?" Ginny asked unbelievingly. Hermione looked at Ginny carefully and with a woman-to-woman instinct, she realizes what Ginny meant.

"Oh no. You don't think…no, absolutely not. We're friends." Hermione stuttered.

"And that's a problem because?"

"Friends are just friends Ginny and besides I've known Harry half of my life…it's just going to be weird."

"Oh Hermione, I think you're blinded! Don't get me wrong…you're smart…but when it comes to love…you have no idea." Ginny said teasing Hermione who blushed a deep red.

"You know, he did keep me company last night when I didn't ask him to."

"There you go." Ginny said triumphantly.

Hermione sighed and thought about what Ginny had just said. It's not that she doesn't like Harry but at this moment, she couldn't think of him as more than a friend.
