Hermione sat next to her two best friends Harry and Ron they were talking about the upcoming quidditch match. Hufflepuff versus Ravenclaw. Hermione began to eat her breakfast and tried to pay attention to the boys conversation when she felt as if she were being watched. Looking up suddenly she saw none other than Draco Malfoy staring intently at her. It wasn't an evil, up-to-no-good kind of stare but a curious one that was directed at her. Hermione tried to ignore it but suddenly he smiled not a smirk but an actual smile. Sure that this was a trick of the light Hermione looked again and it was still there. She smiled back.
Draco was watching Hermione as she ate and listened to Ron and Harry talk. He hadn't meant to stare but there was no stopping it the dream from the night before was haunting him and he had to find out if she had had the same kind of dream. All of a sudden Hermione looked at him and caught him staring she looked a bit confused and tried to turn away when he smiled. Not his trademark smirk but a true smile that he had not done for several years. Hermione looked a bit shocked but then she smiled back. Draco thought to himself, "I have to talk to her and find out if she knows anything about these dreams." Just then the mail came and his eagle owl flew down with a letter from his father. It read: Draco, I have been summoned away to help aid your grandfather and won't be back for the rest of the year. Keep your grades up your mother is coming with me so you will have to stay at the school for the holidays. Lucius. Aiding my grandfather what a load of crock I don't even have a grandfather aiding the dark lord is more like it and if mother went that means she's either under a spell or he killed her. More than likely she had been feeling poorly for a while now and hadn't been out of bed for a week. At least I won't have him here to interfere with my business. Draco grabbed a piece of parchment and wrote: Hermione I need to talk to you. Tonight at ten on the quidditch field alone. Bring your wand if you want but that won't be necessary I only want to talk. Draco. He then gave the note to his owl and ate his breakfast as it flew across the great hall to deliver its message.
Hermione a bit startled at receiving the letter only hesisitated a little but took the note and read it to herself. She looked back at Draco who was eating and when he glanced her way he had a faint blush to his cheeks. She was a bit confused about all the sudden attention he was giving her but thought to herself that it couldn't be that bad just to listen to him maybe I can get some answers to some of my own questions. She then looked back at Draco and waited for him to look back up and then she smiled and shook her head to indicated that she would meet him. He looked slightly relieved at her answer and gave her a quick smile to indicate that he understood then they both went back to eating.
"This is going to be an interesting day," they both thought to themselves.
