THAT NIGHT

***********

The arena lights went down just as she found her seat. Glancing at the empty seat next to her, Hermione felt a moment's sting of the loneliness that she knew so well. Since Harry and Ron had their own life and families she felt more lonely then she had ever felt before.

Life after Hogwarts was lonely.

She was lonely.

She shrugged out of her coat as the stage lights illuminated the stage and the crowd began to applaud

and cheer. The sight and sounds around her lightened

her mood and she leaned back in her seat and awaited

Ozzy Osbourne to take the stage.

He didn't disappoint with the melodies and harmonies

washing over like an old friend and by the time the

intermission came, Hermione found herself relaxed and

thoroughly enjoying herself.

GAZING THROUGH THE WINDOW AT THE WORLD OUTSIDE

WONDERING WILL MOTHER EARTH SURVIVE

HOPING THAT MANKIND WILL STOP ABUSING HER SOMETIME

AFTER ALL THERE'S ONLY JUST THE TWO OF US

AND HERE WE ARE STILL FIGHTING FOR OUR LIVES

WATCHING ALL OF HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF

TIME AFTER TIME

The lyrics were so true.

After graduation Hermione had remained in Hogwarts,

she was now a teacher.

Everytime she was lonely she went up the Astronomy Tower. Sitting where they had used to sit. It had been a wonderful time back these days, but like he had said at their graduation it had just been a school romance, nothing made for eternity. His words had broken her heart. Hermione still loved him. She would never stop loving him.

I'M JUST A DREAMER

I DREAM MY LIFE AWAY

I'M JUST A DREAMER

WHO DREAMS OF BETTER DAYS

When she closed her eyes she remembered the love they

have shared during their last year in Hogwarts.

Many times she was caught dreaming by another

professor.

Professor McGonagall just smiled when she caught

Hermione with the dreamy look on her face. What had

Professor McGonagall once said: "You will never forget your one true love and when he is your soulmate, he will come back to you, one day."

Hermione hoped that Draco had been her soulmate. She

missed him like crazy.

A single tear ran down her cheek as she remembered

the day he left her, it had been four years ago. She

would never forget the words he had said to her.

*I am sorry Hermione but it isn't working out the way it should, it was never meant to last. It was nice with you but it is over between us.*

I WATCH THE SUN GO DOWN LIKE EVERYONE OF US

I'M HOPING THAT THE DAWN WILL BRING A SIGN

A BETTER PLACE FOR THOSE WHO WILL COME AFTER US . . .

THIS TIME

A touch on her shoulder drew Hermione out of her

reverie and she looked behind her, angry that she had

to drag her attention away from Ozzy Osbourne and her

favorite song, it had been their song.

I'M JUST A DREAMER

I DREAM MY LIFE AWAY

I'M JUST A DREAMER

WHO DREAMS OF BETTER DAYS

Silverish gray eyes met hers and a hand held out to

her made her forget every word of the song surrounding her. It was like she had been hypnotized by the eyes. Hermione placed her hand in his and he pulled her up into the aisle, his arms suddenly surrounding her waist, her own arms finding their way around his neck.

"Draco" she whispered.

"May I have this dance, Mia?" he whispered in her ear

as their bodies found the rhythm and swayed together,

so closely pressed against each other.

It was like the four years they had been apart had

been erased from their memory, forever.

YOUR HIGHER POWER MAY BE GOD OR JESUS CHRIST

IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER MUCH TO ME

WITHOUT EACH OTHERS HELP THERE AIN'T NO HOPE FOR US

I'M LIVING IN A DREAM OF FANTASY

OH YEAH, YEAH, YEAH

"I missed you so much. Can you forgive me for leaving

you? For hurting you with words I was forced to say by my father?" Draco didn't wait for her response, he was pulling her further into his arms. He wanted to hold her and never let her go anymore. They had lost so many years.

Tipping her chin up with his finger, he enjoyed being

devoured by the sensuous depths of her eyes, content

to spend the rest of his life in their reflection. He

could stand the wait any longer; his control was now

totally lost and he dipped his head toward hers,

grazing her lips hesitantly with his own.

IF ONLY WE COULD ALL JUST FIND SERENITY

IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE COULD LIVE AS ONE

WHEN WILL ALL THIS ANGER, HATE AND BIGGOTRY . . .

BE GONE?

Her lips were soft and willing, her mouth welcoming

his own. Hermione's hands were fastened around his

neck, and Draco's were tangled in her hair.

The kiss became more demanding and more passionate.

They both felt the connection; the way their bodies

had that magnetic pull.

After breaking the kiss for air, he looked deep into

her eyes and saw the same feelings being reflected

that were shown in his - love.

I'M JUST A DREAMER

I DREAM MY LIFE AWAY

TODAY

I'M JUST A DREAMER

WHO DREAMS OF BETTER DAYS

OKAY

I'M JUST A DREAMER

WHO'S SEARCHING FOR THE WAY

TODAY

I'M JUST A DREAMER

DREAMING MY LIFE AWAY

OH YEAH, YEAH, YEAH

"Tell me I'm not going to wake up and find this was

all a dream" Hermione said.

"If you're dreaming than so I am. I love you, Mia."

THE END
