Dream of Me

A/N:  So far, so good. I haven't gotten any flames, I have been getting at least one review per chapter, which is excellent for my case, and there are no signs of me giving up on this fiction because I am bored with it!! Yay, for you and for me! I'd like to be more well known you see, so if you have a friend who enjoys these kind of romance and angsty fics, send em' to me! Well, I hope you all R/R, and even if you don't feel like reviewing, please take the time to let me know that someone reads my fics, I'd love ya'll for it!

       -Chapter Three-

     "The Way It Really Is"

            "There's nothing good about the Potter boy, he's poisoning your mind, I thought you were smart enough for a job this important mudblood," hissed an evil voice.

            "Who said that?" Hermione waited for her eyes to adjust to the darkness, she had no idea were she was, she hadn't been here before. 'I must be dreaming' she thought as she looked around uncertainly.

            "I did child," Hermione gaze fell on a form of a man, he was tall and thin, and his back was hunched as he sat in the shadows.

            "Who are you, and where are we?" Hermione's voice quivered as she stared into the piercing eyes of the man, she didn't want anything to do with him, but she somehow felt drawn to the energy she could feel flowing from him. She inched ever closer, hand out stretched to the man. She touched his hand, and it felt strangely real.

            "I am your master, and we are in your dream," he pushed her hand away and whipped himself clean of all of her dirtiness. "Don't touch me," he commanded, and Hermione quickly snatched her hand away.

            "I know you very well, better then you know yourself," his frown curled into an evil grin.

            "No you don't, how can you know me? I don't know you," Hermione tried to sound confident, but from everything that had been going on lately, she wasn't so sure.

            "I have been watching you, from the day you were born, I have been able to sense your greatness."

            Hermione's eyes lit up, no one had ever said she was great before. "Really?"

            He nodded and moved toward her a bit. "But, you want to know the way it really is, don't you?"

            Hermione inched closer to him, "of course I do."

            "The Potter boy, he is not your friend, he has never been your friend, he's only been using you to get back at me for killing his bloody parents. Really, I was doing him a favour. He knew he couldn't destroy me without the help of you, because you are much stronger then he is Hermione. If you help me, we can rid this world of black haired brats like him. Together, we can create a world much better than this, all we have to do is get rid of Harry Potter."

            Hermione's eyes reflected the hatred towards Harry that the man's did, she just barely whispered "I'll help you."

~*~

            Harry was once again left to stare at his ceiling in wonder, as he thought about Hermione. 'You only love her as a friend' he kept telling himself, but truth be told, he wasn't so sure anymore. The way she had looked at him before, was practically heart breaking. Just seeing her like this, made it hard for him to breath. He didn't know what was going on with Hermione mind exactly, but he knew he had to stop it. No matter what he had to do but, find her true love? Harry had no idea who Hermione's true love was, or if he even loved her back. He looked to his right were a picture of himself, Ron, and Hermione stood. They were all smiling and looked like they were having fun. 'God, I wish I could see Hermione smile like that again,' he thought. Well, at least she was getting better, or at least he thought she was…

            A/N: Uh oh! I am sorry!! I wish I could make it longer, but I felt the need to end it here, at least I still worked in a bit of Harry POV in the end. All and all, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I don't expect many reviews, it wasn't very good. But, I think it was needed, the story wouldn't be the same really if you didn't get to see more about how Hermione gets all 'freaky' well, I have written 3 chapters in a row, so I am not expecting to be asked by any of you peoples for another one to soon, my advice to you is read slowly…love what you have! Well, the fourth chapter, I am warning you now, may be a bit of a shock to you, its going to have a lot of action in it, and hopefully it'll end being a bit suspenseful. It should be done within three days, at the latest a week. It depends on how much homework I get. Well, if you wanna review it would be very appreciated, and here's a little note the TheFly, I have read your story, and I loved it!! I am honoured you have reviewed mine, and don't worry, this whole…umm…issue all works out in the end…or does it? Guess your going to have to keep reading to find out!
