Chapter 21: Another Dream

It was the big day. Hermione Granger was at the altar looking at her husband to be: Draco Malfoy. Dumbledore was the priest and Draco has just said, "I do".

"Hermione Granger do you take Draco Malfoy to be your lawfully wedded husband? For richer, for poorer, 'till death do you part?" Dumbledore asked.

Hermione looked at Draco, who smiled. She was about to say 'I do' when he overcame a huge change. His eyes turned red and his nose to slits. She was staring into the face of Lord Voldemort!

~*~

Hermione screamed and jolted upright from her bed. It wasn't a loud screamed, so Draco didn't hear. There was cold swear her forehead. She got up and walked over to windowsill and poured a small glass of water for herself. As she drank, she looked outside. The stars were shining down in the late winter sky and a cool breeze swept through the grounds.

'What could that dream have meant?' she thought, 'There's no way that would ever happen would there? NO! Voldemort is not coming to my wedding, let alone my fiancée!' she put the glass away and went back to bed, and slept dreamlessly.

~*~

The next morning at breakfast, Pansy kept shooting Hermione dark looks, while she (Hermione) gave back red-eyed ones. By the end of breakfast, Pansy wouldn't dare look at Hermione and kept touching a small scab (a/n I hate that word, it's so sick) near her hairline.

But during breakfast, Hermione got a gift, or rather, a parcel. The letter read:

Happy Belated Valentines Day

~Draco

Smiling, she opened the gift and gasped. It was the phoenix necklace she gave back to Draco when they broke up. There were guilty tears in the corners of her eyes, she blinked them away and looked up at him. He was smirking at her and she mouthed, "I can't" he didn't make it out and mouthed, "What?"

So she pulled a small parchment slip and scribbled, "I can't wear this." And sent it back with the owl.

It flew to Draco, who read the note and quickly responded with a scribbled, "Why not?"

As people were leaving, she sent back a, "Tell you later." And followed her friends to Potions, putting the gift in her bag.

During potions, Draco kept giving her questioning glances, which she ignored and Pansy was fidgeting every time they happened to be in a 5-foot radius from each other. When Draco and Hermione sat near each other in Arithmancy, he kept writing notes with "Why?" written on them. And she would always write "Later" back. She got fed up with his constant "Why?'s" and threatened him with a "If you don't stop, you'll never know!" which shut him up immediately.

When 'Later' arrived it was when they were both doing their History of Magic assignment (Why did Rudolph the Ravenous scare the villagers of Marshcroft out of town? **). She kept avoiding him asking, by saying she still had more to write, even though her paper was already a foot longer than expected.

So instead of asking about the necklace, and the night before, he said, "Want to know what I dreamt of last night?"

"Sure." She said absentmindedly while sharpening her quill.

"We were getting married—"

"What!?" Hermione said, snapping her quill in half and going pale as she spun around in her chair, "Wha--what did you say?" she was trying to calm her shaking voice."

He eyes her suspiciously but continued, "I said, we were getting married and Pansy came in trying to object, but one of the Weasleys turned her into a beetle. Then we got married and lived happily ever after, the end." He ended smirking. But then asked inquisitively, "Did you sleep well?"

She hastily replied, "Of course I did!"

"You're not a very good liar. Have a bad dream?"

"No not really. Pansy kept threatening me with rock cakes. I was just mad at her from yesterday." She rolled her parchment and stuck it in her bag. Her hand touched the necklace box and she pulled it out.

"We'll talk about the necklace after you tell me about 'throwing Pansy'" he laughed.

"She hit me after the match and I pulled an angry mood. I have new powers!" she told him about the whole incident.

"Good thing you didn't have then when you hit me in 3rd year. Imagine if I slammed into the Whomping Willow." They both laughed. "Now, why can't you wear the necklace?" he motioned for her to sit with him on the couch.

She did and toyed with the silver phoenix, "I just can't. I feel guilty about before and I don't deserve this." She put it in Draco's hand.

"Want to know what I think about this necklace and the breakup?" he asked.

"You think I was a royal pain in the arse and it was all my fault." She said sadly.

"No. That this phoenix symbolizes the death of the old relationship, and the birth of our new one. And that we'll always make-up." (a/n. Aww how sweet!)

"How very philosophical. But I can't take it." She was very determined.

"Yes you will. I bought this for you, and you will have it. You don't even have to wear it if you don't want to! Just leave it in the bottom of your trunk if you want to! As long as you have it, I'm happy." He made a move to put it on her, and she didn't refuse.

"Fine! Thanks so much Draco." She said, pulling her hair back.

"No, thank you Hermione. For giving me another chance." He clasped it and let it hang on her bare neck.

~ End of Chapter 21 ~

A/N: It was easy to write that part. Where Hermione said that she couldn't accept the necklace. Why? 'Cause it's past experience. Remember Hullabub? With Age?

**Cortex, Hullabub, the starred things is a possible lesson I might do. Just to let you know.**
