*****************************************************
Hermione got ready for her Head Girl lesson with Professor McGonagall as she remembered the dream from last night. It was very scary, to her at least because it confirmed her worst fear, that she was actually starting to not despise Draco, but to like him.
She had been walking down a path in a forest, and felt very at peace with the world. She had come to a clearing where there was a beautiful lake with a sparkling waterfall. There was a small bench with someone sitting on it. She instantly recognized the platinum blonde hair as Draco's and she began to walk over to him. She sat next to him and stared out at the waterfall not saying anything at all. Everything just felt right. She felt his hand touch hers and then pull away, she looked up at him, he was still staring out across the lake. She sighed and looked down at their hands, they were so close together yet so far away. She began inching hers closer and closer to his until they touched, he began to pull away but she put her hand over his. His hands were like ice but hers were warm and welcoming. They looked at each other for a brief moment before their lips locked.
Hermione had awoken in a cold sweat, her heart racing and her body very tense.
She walked out into the common room again, a bit of make-up on and her hair up at the back of her head. Draco looked up as she came in, he too had been thinking about the dream, but his had been a bit different from hers.
He had been looking for a place to hide from his father and had come upon the lake clearing. Mesmerized by the waterfall he sat down on the bench and watched it. He heard footsteps coming and tensed up wondering if he should run or stay where he was. When she sat down beside him he had too felt that everything was right with the world and he wanted to make sure that she was real. He inched his hand over and touched her hand, pulling it back quickly as if he had been burned. She had then proceeded to place her hand over his, and he instantly felt warm. It was as if she was a blanket covering him to keep him warm. He looked at her and she looked at him, amber eyes staring into icy blue ones. He had the sudden urge to kiss her, and did as he thought was right. When he had pulled away she was smiling at him, mouthing something inaudible. Oh how he longed to hear that sweet voice, but she began to fade away just as fast as the dream had come.
He too had awoke in a cold sweat, and he had gone out to the common room to sit at the fire, finally nodding off to sleep. When he felt the fire being stoked again by the house elf he had gone back into his room for a bit more sleep, no longer filled with the dream.
When she walked into the room he looked up at her, wondering if she had had the same dream as he had the night before. He looked at her for a moment as she walked across the room taking a seat in the chair next to him by the fire.
'Merlin, she really is beautiful, this can't be happening to me, I'm starting to like a Mudblood.'
On accident the beginning of his thoughts had escaped his lips. He whispered "Merlin," and Hermione looked at him questioningly.
"What did you just say?" She ask, her eyebrow raising.
"Nothing," he was saved by the sound of Professor McGonagall's knock at the door of the common room.
She walked in, her hair pulled back into a strict looking bun and already in her robes.
"Miss Granger, Mister Malfoy, if you would please give me your undivided attention. I need to inform you of your duties as Head Persons of Hogwarts."
Hermione and Draco both turned around and looked at her, waiting for her to speak again.
"You will patrol the halls in the evenings after dinner on one select night of the week, Miss Granger, yours is on Friday, and Mister Malfoy, yours is on Saturday. You will walk up and down all the halls making sure that all is well. Next, you will be expected to sit together at the Prefect table, in the center, during all feasts and large dinners, including the Christmas and Halloween dinner. On the subject of Halloween, there will be a costume ball this year. You will be expected to organize most of this, along with the Prefects. You will also be required to lead the first dance. This is the same for the Yule Ball. Any questions so far?"
Hermione looked as if she had been stunned, 'I can't believe that I'll have to dance with Malfoy, but that won't be all that bad.' She shook her head no and Malfoy did the same.
"Now, you are aloud to dock points from the houses if you see need be, but if we find that you are abusing this privilege then you will be severely punished. You are expected to remain on best behavior and keep your fellow students from doing anything unintelligent. I expect you both to do an outstanding job this year. Now I am going to get ready for the train ride, are either of you going?"
Draco looked at the floor and shook his head, but Hermione nodded vigorously.
"Very well, Miss Granger, please be in the main hall at 7 for the ride back. The train is not to leave until 9 tonight, but I am sure you would not mind spending a few hours in Hogsmeade." With that she nodded her head and turned on her heel and left.
"Why aren't you going back?" She asked, and inquiring look on her face.
"Well, for your information, I just don't want to, I am going to stay and take a nice long hot bath and maybe read up a bit on Potions as it is my favorite subject."
"Alright then just asking, I am going to go and get ready for Hogsmeade. I'll see you later Draco."
Was it just him, or had she smiled a bit when she had said his name?
********************************************
Hermione checked her watch, it was quarter till 7, she took her purse and checked herself in the mirror. She walked into the Common Room and noted the smell of after shave and went to the bathroom door knocking softly.
"Goodbye Draco, I'll see you tomorrow at the feast."
She walked out of the room and to the main hall to meet Professor McGonagall leaving a confused Draco behind to dwell on her words.
Why had she even bothered to tell him that she was leaving? Why should he care? Just two of the hundreds of questions running through his mind at that moment.
****************************************************
A/N not a really fluffy chapter or anything like that…I might write another tomorrow, I doubt tonight, I know I will update the other one tomorrow though…and maybe a one chapter for each on Thursday before I leave…no promises though, please R/R!
Love and Fluff,
