The day after the fight with the giant lion, Hermione and Draco
continued their 'normal' trainings. Hermione was glad she didn't have any
more dreams about Draco. She wondered why they didn't have them anymore,
and to her surprise she was a little disappointed not having them.
Harry and Ron still didn't knew that she disappeared every night. They thought she was fine, and going through her daily studying in the library until late.
Draco and Hermione were able to control their powers much better. Hermione continued talking with her cat. He always gave her advice when she was confused and he would calm her down after an annoying night of training with Draco.
Even though Hermione didn't like to admit it, but she actually missed Draco sometimes at night, and she couldn't wait for the next day, when she sometimes had potions or Care of Magical Creatures with Slytherin.
She was telling herself over and over again that it was just a little crush. But two weeks after Draco saved them both from that lion, she could not stand lying to Harry and Ron anymore. She had to tell them. So one night, before she was supposed to go to the library to study for the O.W.L.'s, she told Harry and Ron she wanted to talk. They sat in a quiet corner of the common room, when Hermione took a deep breath, and started to tell her two best friends all that happened to her the past few weeks.
To her big surprise Harry and Ron listened to her intently without interrupting her, not even after she told them about the dream about Draco.
Nobody talked for a minute or so. Then it was Harry who talked first: "We knew there was something happening with you. First we thought you were seeing someone, but we couldn't figure out who it was. We were actually planning asking you about where you disappeared to every night, because we looked in the library several times, and you weren't there. That's why we agreed with each other, that whatever it was, that we wouldn't be angry at you."
Hermione felt something in her heart she couldn't describe. She felt proud, that she had such good friends. Harry understood, that was clear. But what about Ron? He was a more difficult person than Harry. She looked at her other friend.
"I can't believe it! Can you really talk to animals? And can you help defeat You-Know-Who? Man! That's something. It isn't dangerous, is it?"
"Slow down Ron!" Hermione laughed, but became more serious. "Yes, I have many powers, that can be of good use for the whole wizarding world. And of course it's dangerous, Ron. I am willing to give my live to fight Him. He killed my parents, and also Draco's father."
Ron's smile vanished. "I understand that Hermione," Ron said.
"Thank you," Hermione said. "I couldn't wish for two better friends. I am actually surprised that you two didn't start pitying me for having to be with Malfoy every night."
Harry and Ron suddenly became very uncomfortable.
"What?"
"Well, actually," Harry said. "We had figured out something. And we have accepted it. Ron was a bit angry at first, but he's ok with it now. As long as it makes you happy."
"What are you rambling about, Harry?" Hermione asked confused.
"We know you're in love with Malfoy," Ron said.
It seemed like Hermione couldn't think straight for a moment. Wasn't she dreaming? Were Harry and Ron confessing they saw that she, Hermione Granger, was in love with Draco Malfoy?
Then it hit her. It was true.
"We see the way you look at him, every time at breakfast. How you look at him in potions, when he's working. Don't think we're stupid," Harry said. "Well, to be true, Ginny figured it out for us. That's when we start really wondering of who you were daydreaming of every morning at breakfast."
"But," Hermione said softly, "don't you mind?"
"Well," Ron started, "maybe just a bit, but we think we can live with it. As long as you don't start kissing in public."
At that Hermione laughed. She couldn't stop. After a minute or so, she managed to get something out of her: "Did you really think he feels the same way? Even though he respects me now, he still thinks I'm a filthy mudblood."
"Well, Ginny reported to us that she saw Malfoy looking at you the same way you did during meals," Ron said. "Ginny seems to have a big crush on Harry." He grinned, while Harry got a red head. "I think their secretly dating," Ron whispered.
"That's great Harry!"
No, it couldn't be that Draco felt the same way about her. It just couldn't be.
"Sorry, guys. It's time for me to go to 'the library'," Hermione said. She stood up and hugged both her friends tightly before disappearing through the portrait hole.
~*~*~
Hermione felt confused right now. She kept thinking about Draco. Even though he wasn't always nice to her, or a real friend, she still felt something for him. And it wasn't just a little crush, because he was the most handsome boy she'd ever seen. He had these beautiful grey eyes. If you looked at them a little better, you could see a clear colour blue in it. It wasn't just his eyes, but also his hair, the way he looked, the way he acted, the way she felt so save when se was near him.
Was it all because of the connecting they had? Only because they were born at the exact same moment? Or was it more than that?
Hermione reached the classroom, and entered without knocking. She was getting used to just entering. She was usually earlier than Draco or Remus, but this time they both were there.
"Hello, Hermione," Remus said.
Hermione almost had a heart attack when she saw Albus Dumbledore was in the room, standing next to Draco.
"Hello, Miss Granger," he said, his eyes sparkling like usual, but more sadly.
"Hello, Professor," Hermione said nervously. Draco looked also kind of nervous.
"I'm here because needed to tell you that the ministry had been attacked this night," the Headmaster said. "I have the feeling the battle for you is going to start real soon."
~*~*~
That night Hermione lay in her bed, trying to get every thing in her mind. Professor Dumbledore had explained that Voldemort was beginning with his more dangerous attacks. This would be a dark time for her and Draco. Remus would work together with two real Auror trainers. They had only a couple of weeks before the real battles would begin. Hermione and Draco had to be ready then.
She was scared. Scared of all the horrible things that were happening now and of all the things that were going to happen. She was scared. And not even Crookshanks could comfort her this time.
Her studies would be laid aside for a while. She could study, of course, but she and Draco could be called out any time to fight against Death Eaters. Remus was sure they were as strong as three Aurors together. But then Hermione would realise she was still just a fifteen year old girl. Could she really handle this?
She fell into an uneasy sleep.
~*~*~
"Hermione? Is that you?"
"Draco?"
"We're in one of these dreams again," Draco said.
Everything became clearer. They were in front of the lake. Everything was covered with snow. It was peace giving, just sitting there. They weren't cold. The snow was actually really soft, as they sat there next to each other.
"Draco," Hermione said, "I'm scared."
"I am too," Draco said.
Hermione looked at him, surprised.
"Don't look so surprised," he said, smiling at her. "Malfoys do get scared, you know. They only show that to the persons they love."
Hermione looked at him, with big eyes. Did he just say he loved her?
"I love you Hermione," he whispered. "Ever since I got to know you better."
"I love you too, Draco," she said back.
They sat there, holding hands, looking at the lake. It felt like a real dream.
"Do you think we can defeat Voldemort?" Hermione asked.
"Yes," he said. He sounded so sure. How could he be so sure about it? "I feel something growing in me I can't control. It's this huge power. It feels good. And until now I didn't realise it was my love for you."
Hermione smiled. "I fell it too."
"Together, with you, I can't die. That's how I feel. And if we see this realistic, I think we can beat him. We have a great power in our hands. Do you remember the lion? That was some sort of a mythical creature. He was never defeated before. Many really strong wizards died trying to kill him. I couldn't hit him with a spell, until I took your hand. The power I felt was so strong, I felt like I could kill ten Voldemorts if they appeared before me. As long as we're together."
They sat in silence again. Hermione put her head on his shoulder.
"I have to confess something," Draco said softly. "I took the Dreamless potion for weeks, so that you couldn't enter my dreams."
Hermione chuckled and they sat in silence again. This was the most wonderful dream she ever had.
"This isn't just one of my fantasies, is it?" Hermione wondered.
"I think not," Draco said, while looking at the woman he loved with all his heart.
Their heads slowly bend and they lips met. They knew it was real.
~*~*~ ~*~*~ ~*~*~
NOT GOING TO BE CONTINUED!
That's the end. I know! Too sentimental! It's not like Draco to act like this. So in love and everything, but it's my fanfic, so I can do whatever I want.
To explain Draco's behaviour better: He's in love! He is so in love, that he changes for Hermione. I know, he changes a real lot, but, I don't care!
And I know Harry and Ron are quite out of character too. It's not like Ron to understand that she loves Draco. Not in a million years! But it's my fanfic!
I'm sorry this story ended so abruptly, but I had to end it. I haven't updated in ages. The only thing that kept me writing this story once in a while, was because of all of those wonderful reviews I got. I just didn't enjoy writing this anymore.
I know, it's a stupid end, but I don't care.
Thanks everybody for your reviews again! I love you all.
The only review I wanted to respond on was on VenusDeMilo's. You said it was not like Hermione to respond like that to that lion, that she froze and everything. But here's my opinion on Hermione: She knows so many spells and has read so many books, but think of that time in the first year, in the toilets! She of course is a great witch, but she just isn't use to real action. She knows only books, but when she is in real danger, she freezes. She has to learn not to be scared in danger. Well, that's my opinion. I hope you respect that. I still love your fic by the way!
Well, maybe I'll write a sequel one day; if I get some good reviews that you want one. I won't be hurt if you don't want one. But I don't know yet for sure! And actually, it won't be a sequel, but it will continue. I don't know yet.
And if anyone has a question or anything, about the story, I will be happy to answer it.
Oh, I read the reviews I got for this chapter, and 'no offence' told me this chapter looked like The Nights of Dreams and Days Inbetween. I've never read that story, so I didn't even knew it! So I'm sorry, if anybody is angry or something. I'm actually not a big Draco/Hermione reader. And I looked it up, and it seems that The Night of Dreams and Days Inbetween is written a month later than my story, so I don't know if she copied me, or I accidentally hers.
THANKS FOR ALL THE REVIEWS!!!
That was all folks. Well. Buy then!
I hope you review.
