I'm standing in the middle of this fog…A fog so thick I almost have to push curtains of it out of the way to pass through. It's cold. I pull my cloak around my body and shiver a little bit. I look around. Where am I? All I know is I'm looking for someone… I don't know who it is though. I start to run, looking left and right for whomever I need to find. I don't know who it is though and it's driving me insane. I need to find them! I'm running faster and faster searching for whoever is going to fulfill this void in my life…I know I need them! Everything will be fixed once I find them…

It's getting darker now…I can't see! "Lumos" I whisper and push forward momentarily catching glimpses of someone ahead of me… "Hello?" I call out. I really should get back to the castle I don't want to lose points for Gryffindor… I push through the branches…I stop. There he is. I can't make out who he is but I know its him… I feel it. There is something tugging on my heart. I feel myself walk closer to him as if my heart, my soul was indeed attached to him. Like two magnets we're gradually being drawn to each other…

I stretch and sit up in bed. "Wow." I was out of breath and there was beads of sweat on my forehead. I get up and go to my mirror. As I look at myself I see how myself and Ivory are slowly fusing into one. My brown hair had blonde streaks and my brown eyes had a slight blue twinge to them. I was getting so good at the charms to change my appearance that I didn't need a wand any longer. It had been going on for almost three months. Ivory had Malfoy hooked and in all actuality it was funny and unbelievable but it was starting to stress me. I felt as though I was falling behind in my schoolwork because instead of my usual hours I spent in the library studying I spent it with Malfoy. To make things worse I can't study with him because he believes Ivory to be a Sixth year, so I couldn't just pull out Seventh year Transfiguration in front of him or Advance Seventh year Potions. I leaned my forehead against the cool glass. I've spent so much time with that boy I had hardly had a chance to appreciate my dorm that I got as head girl. Behind me I could see my four poster bed draped in gold satin sheets and scarlet curtains. The carpet in the room was a gold and scarlet swirl pattern and the drapes on the windows were as such. I had a huge closet and a beautiful desk with a mirror sitting on the top of it. I simply loved the room even though I had only come in it so far just to sleep. So with the details of my exhausting dream lingering in my mind I grabbed my robe and entered into the bathroom. The tub in the head's bathroom was much larger than that of the prefect's bath. It had all the same knobs and faucets though. I filled the tub with hot water and the soap bubbles that didn't fade away. I poured vanilla oil into the tub and stripped out of my pajamas, to slip into the water. After about thirty minutes I got out and got dressed to go to breakfast.

As I entered the Entrance Hall I looked over at the Slytherin table to look at Malfoy. Catching his eye, I smiled.

"Mione!" Ginny whispered grabbing my arm and pulling me from the doors of the Hall. "Do you know who you are right now?"

I looked at her like she was crazy. "What do you mean? Of course I know who I am." I went to run my fingers through my hair and was startled to find that my hair was still its normal length. "Shit." I stepped back and slid down the wall to sit on the floor. "Shit."

Ginny sat beside me. "What's the matter Hermione? You've been doing so well with this Ivory thing but lately you have been slipping. Like you've been forgetting when you're supposed to meet with Malfoy. Sometimes you forget to change back your eyes and don't forget that one time you went to see Dumbledore and completely forgot to change your appearance!"

My head was in my hands. "I know. I know. I think it's time to let go." I looked up to find the hallway empty besides us. I pulled the hood of my robe up over my head and brought my hair to my knees. Closing my eyes I said the enchantment under my breath. Ginny sat there and rubbed my back. Out of no where I felt awful and tears sprang to my eyes. I kept my head against my knees and slowly rocked back and forth.

"Weaselette." I stopped rocking at the sound of Malfoy's voice. "Where's Ivory?" I looked up slightly at him hoping to Merlin that my appearance was all the way changed. Ginny gasped apparently she didn't know I has changed. "Oh Love!" He swooped me up in his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck and continued to cry. He smoothed my hair down. "I'll take care of her, Ginny." He began to walk off. I kept my head down the whole time. "New Beginnings." He said the password the the Head's compartment. Stepping inside he kept walking, opened a door and finally laid me down on satin sheets. Wait! Satin Sheets? We're in his room? On his bed? I stopped crying to pull away from him and to roll over and bury my face into a black satin clad pillow. He rubbed my back. "Love what's wrong?"

"Wehavetobreakup." I muttered letting the words come out as one big word.

"What?"

"We have to break up." I said slowly sitting up.

If possible, his face got pale. "Why?"

"I have to go back home. I can't be here anymore, I can't do this anymore." I put my head down. "I'm so sorry. Just think though. You'll never be without me. You never really were. I have always been and will always be right in front of your eyes." Before he could say anything I got up and ran from the Head's compartment, changing my appearance back as I ran down the deserted corridor. My hair was flying freely behind my back. Flushed I ran into the Entrance Hall and plopped down into Harry and Ron. I grabbed some toast and scrambled eggs and tried to act normal. After I had prepared my toast, I looked up to find Harry, Ron and Ginny staring at me. "What?"

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Ron asked.

"Better question: What the hell is wrong with Malfoy?" Harry asked as Malfoy stormed back into the Entrance Hall and towards the Gryffindor table. "He doesn't look too happy." Harry turned towards me. "Quick Hermione, What happened before he gets here."

Before I could explain, Malfoy was right in front of Harry. "Potter." He said in such a low voice we had to strain to hear him. "Why is it that your cousin just told me she had to go home?" Harry looked at me and I leaned towards my plate and began shoveling eggs into my mouth.

"She what-?"

"She ended it with me saying that she had to leave me. But then she said not to worry because she's always been here and will always be here." He looked sad for a moment and then quickly pulled himself together. "Forget it. You talk to her and get her to stay." With that he swept from the table.

"Mione!" Ron, Harry and Ginny all exclaimed in unison.

"It was time to let go."

SORRY SO SHORT! PLEASE FORGIVE ME BUT THE FUN PARTS ARE COMING UP! TRUST ME!
