Hello! Thank you for the reviews, and to answer your question on Hermione's blindess I have a solution to that. It will come up in the later chapters...I first have to fire up Hermione's and Draco's love situation. Read and find out! And Reviews are always appreciated :)!
He woke up angry again. Nowadays he became cranky and even more irritable than his usual self. The empty feeling of not getting what you want was terrible. Especially when your a Malfoy and getting things you want is a necessity. Giving a big sigh and running his hand through his hair he sat up. He sat there sort of dazed and thought about a certain someone. Rubbing his forehead he thought of Hermione sleeping peacefully in the room next to him. He tried to imagine her sleeping, with her soft hair scattered on her forehead and her breathing softly into her pillow. He smiled at this thought and closed his eyes to reminisce. Again he remembered his state of being Slytherin King and Hermione's supreme nemesis. Becoming angry he broke out of his trance and headed towards the bathroom.
Hermione contrary to Draco's daydream was lumberd on top of her books in the common room snoring with a slight drool seeping out of the side of her mouth. After studying till 3 in the morning Hermione was too tired to walk to her bedroom to sleep. Draco finishing his shower came out to the common room. He saw her sleeping like that and laughed silently. Knowing her schedule he knew that she had afternoon classes that day(In senior year well in my school you get to chose afternoon classes). Picking her up gently and cradling her in his arms he carried her to her bedroom. Sighing deeply Hermione smiled and tucked her head in towards his chest. He carried her to her scarlet colored bed and laid her gently inside the covers. Sunlight was pouring inside the room and a sort of soft aura surrounded the bed. Almost forced Draco leaned down slowly and gently kissed Hermione's lips. Releasing his lips he opened his eyes to find that Hermione had a slight frown on her face. Laughing he left the room to eat some breakfast.

Hermione woke up for a start at about ten and wondered why she was in her bed. She had the most weird dream. She usually had a dream that Orlando Bloom (she was into muggle movies) was an elf prince and she would ride along side him through ministera. But all of a sudden her dream was cut short and Malfoy had slayed Orlando (GOD FORBID...but its a dream :P!) and ran to her and kissed her. It felt so real she thought as she felt her lips with the tips of her fingers. Sighing she inturn began to get ready for class.
She walked along to the hall way and heard Harry and Ron calling her name "Hermione, ready for potions?"
"Hey, yeah I was just about to go there."
"Thank Merlin its not Slytherin...we're with the lovely hufflepuffs."
"ditto" replied Hermione.

Back to the common room...
Draco was already sitting on one of the squishy armchairs in the common room reading a book when Hermione entered the room.
"Hermione?"
"wow...that's a first I thought the word "granger" was inbedded in your tongue"
"No need for your witty sarcasm "granger" " hes sniggered...
"Ahh...soo what do you want to pester me about now?" she inquired.
"Ok...to be serious I'm a bit curious on how you lost your sight, I mean your eyes seem perfectly normal..."
Hermione flinched when she heard that statement.
"I...I...got hit by a car...and uh...my eyes got hurt..." Hermione managed to mutter out.
"You know what? I don't believe a damn word you said...just tell me Granger, what bad is it going to do?" Draco asked...in a slightly pleading voice.
Hermione burst out crying...
"Do you really want to know?! You don't..it was soo horrible..."
"I dont do this much but sit here...and my best quality is not making someone feel better...but its better to tell someone how you feel."
"Well, I feel like crap..ok?! I can't see where the bloody hell I'm going and people...people like you just make life worse...and that memory...that...that bloody memory I can't erase."
she sniffed...Draco stood up and moved gently towards her. He lifted his arm slowly and touched his pale long hands against Hermione's wet cheeks. Wiping her tears he pulled her into a soft embrace with his arms around her waist.
"You see...I met Voldemort this summer...on accident...I was walking to the grocery store when that dirty rat that works for vol-demort kidnapped me and brought me to this old dirty looking mansion...then..."
Hermione whimpered a little again and tried to continue her story...Draco held her tighter and urged her on..
"He...he looked at me...I was soo frightened...and he said that I had been a nuisance...and for that I must pay...then...that dirty rat brought something in a couldren. It was a mucus yellow and he cackled...I can remember it...evil and extremely happy...he...he...poured that stuff over my eyes....my eyes burned...for the longest time...and in the background I could still hear that god awful cackle...laughing...After...I don't remember...I think I passed out..it was too much pain...I woke up in the hospital bed..."
Draco....gave away from the embrace and looked into Hermione's eyes....he saw fear, terror, sadness all rolled into one giant emotion. He had a weird feeling that he was her gaurdian...and that he must protect her from all evils...he knew this potion...abscondo...evil, but there was one more thing that abscondo did to the victim other than removal of eyesight...it was the potion of property also...Hermione was now forever chained to Voldemort...and he now claimed Hermione's body. He knew there was one cure, but it was risky and no one would give that much of a sacrifice.
"Its all ok...just leave everything to me..." he whispered in her ear as he held her against him again...by this time Hermione had fallen asleep.
~~~~~~~
Hermione had woke up around 10 at night in her bed and felt soft cloth inbetween her fingers...the last thing she remembered was her crying in Draco's arm and suddenly feeling faint.
She walked into the common room when Draco sat up from his desk to stretch. He was studying, waiting for Hermione to wake up...He smiled as he saw his little Gryffindor stumble out of her room.
"Had a good sleep?"
"Crummy...gah...and I still have that transfiguration essay I still have to finish..."
"Ever think of taking a breather now and then? How bout taking nice stroll outside? Lovely weather..."
"I dont know..."
"Come on...I promise I don't bite" Draco smirked.
"And yet your mascot is a snake" Hermione laughed.
"I promise I don't bite....allot" Draco said jokingly.
"Fine but you better give me the origins of the gladreious stone for my report"
"Deal" Draco said as he grabbed hermione around the shoulders and walked her towards the door. Quickly putting the night robe around her and quietly getting his broom they left.
"May I ask why your holding a broom" Hermione asked.
"How perceptive of you...its nothing...just a bit of protection."
"If you are thinking about putting me on that broom...then you are incredibly wrong." Hermione said nervously.
"nothing of the sort..." Draco said silkly.
They walked a little whiles until they were out of the great hall and now in the mass patch of grass just outside the castle.
"The night is warm" Hermione said happily.
"It is...if you could see the stars theyre shining the brightest tonight."
They stood there...feeling the warm breeze brush against their skin...Hermione felt free for the first time...she could see with her hands. Feeling the soft wind seeping through her hands as she spread them apart. She could also smell Draco...his cologne wafting towards her...she breathed in the musky scent and couldn't help but be happy.
"You know..." Hermione said quietly.
"hrmm?...what is it...?" Draco asked.
"Your...a nice person...I...I mean your not that ruthless pureblood that kills people with just one stare that everyone knows you as..."
Draco laughed "My stare of death doesn't seem to work on you anymore."
They talked for a while. Hermione realized that Draco wasn't the bad boy that he had tried to show her all through her 6 years of Hogwarts. She almost felt closer to him than to Ron and Harry.
"Ah...now lets have some real fun..." Draco said.
"What type of fun...if it includes the kind where I am flying...I will not take part in it."
"Thats where you're wrong Granger."
"But you PRO-MIIIIIIISSSEED" As she felt one hand go over her waist and her legs on top of a broom she was being swerved upwards as she felt a lurch in her stomach.
"Remember I'm a slytherin." Draco whispered in her ear.
He flew with amazing grace...gently flying letting the wind rush against them. Hermione, after getting used to the shock felt complete joy. The wonderful feeling of her hair fluttering on her back and Draco's strong arms keeping her in place. She felt safe in his arms.
"So..how do you feel?" Draco whispered tickling her ear with his breath.
"Horrible, soo horrible that I might just want to kiss you." she replied shyly.
Draco slowed down to a stop in midair.
He turned her around and gently placed a kiss on her soft lips. 'This time shes awake and concious' he thought
Hermione had never been kissed and seem to relish the feeling of it. Wanting more she pressed her lips more deeply into his. Draco wove his hands in through her brown curls and deepened the kiss. Time itself had seem to have stopped. Midair, in the middle of night where the stars were glittering the sky Draco and Hermione finally realized what was truly missing in their lives.
Releasing from the kiss...Hermione whispered "So...what's next?" in Draco's ear.
He woke up angry again. Nowadays he became cranky and even more irritable than his usual self. The empty feeling of not getting what you want was terrible. Especially when your a Malfoy and getting things you want is a necessity. Giving a big sigh and running his hand through his hair he sat up.
