~A/N~ Alrighty, here goes chapter 4! R.R.&RO! Thanks for the reviews!
*AmSam Malfoy*
****************************************
~6:35 AM: I'm sitting on my bed, thinking about everything that just happened. Draco Malfoy's favorite color is red. He likes Good Charlotte, Rooney, and Linkin Park. He doesn't really hate muggles or "mudbloods". He hates mostly everyone in Slytherin. And he thinks I'm beautiful. *sigh* We talked for hours. Well really only about a minute, but it seemed like hours in TDW (the dream world, for short). He explained what he knew about TDW, it all still kind of scares me, but it's our sanctuary now. He's a really good person, and we have the same sense of humor. I'm kind of skeptical, because up until now there has been nothing but animosity between us. He seemed sincere though. I guess only time will tell. I think he must be lying when he said I was beautiful, but it still felt nice to be complimented.
We were talking about who knows what... just random stupid things. I vaguely remember us talking about cheese? at one point... And all of the sudden he just blurted out,
"You are so beautiful, has anyone ever told you that?"
I know he was lying... how could anyone think I was beautiful? But I felt so comfortable around him. I'm trying so hard to trust him and give him a chance. But there is something inside of me screaming to leave him alone, not to trust him. Who knows... -Hermione.
*I know you're there, I can see you... But it's hazy, like in a dream. Is it real? Are you real? Or is it all in my mind?*

Hermione entered the Great Hall that morning. She sat at her usual spot, next to Harry and across from Ron and Neville. They filled up their plates with toast and bacon. Hermione had some peach jelly on her toast. They were midway through eating when the clamor of the post owls could be heard. Hermione hadn't been expecting any mail but she received a copy of the Daily Prophet and a small note, folded in 3's. She opened it up slowly, not knowing who it could possible be from. It read:
Her-My-Oh-Knee What are you doing on Friday night? I hope to see you in TDW, -D.M.
"Who's D.M.?" Harry asked, apparently having read the letter over her shoulder. She eyed him, then said sarcastically
"None of you business!" Hoping to play it off.
"And what is 'Tee-Dee-Double You'? And WHY did they spell your name all... funky?"
"Harry, are we feeling a bit nosy this morning? I said its none of your business." She said this jokingly, hoping that he would just let it go, but that didn't work too well.
"Hermione, you are keeping something from us." Ron rolled his eyes, it was those two who were always bickering. It was so dreadfully obvious that Harry loved Hermione, but everyone always suspected it was him. No, he had a girlfriend.
"Oh yes Hermione, secrets don't make friends..." She laughed.
"Harry, there's no need to worry, its just a letter from a friend in Huffle, get over it." He rolled his eyes muttering an incomprehensible 'Girls' under his breath.
Little did he know, this was no girl. Hermione let her eyes wander a bit, finally spotting the blonde sitting almost directly across from her. She smiled at him and he smiled back. She began to sign something to Draco, hoping Harry wouldn't see. She pointed at Harry then to the note and then finally to her eyes. After he understood she made a face that showed a bit of fear and a bit of annoyance. He chuckled a bit but as soon as someone over at the Slytherin table heard him, he turned stony again and Hermione went back to talking about the upcoming Herbology exam with Neville.
****************************************
"Hey there sexy." Were his ears deceiving him? Or had he just heard Hermione call him sexy. He stopped and turned around to face her.
"Hey there yourself. Fancy meeting you here." He had been looking for her of course. Hopefully she had been looking for him too.
"Well, I was just taking a stroll... But I thought maybe it is unsafe to walk around here all alone at night. I'd be safer with a big... strong... male to protect me." She stepped closer to him at each pause. She was inches away from his face. He was squirming again.
"Happy to oblige." He draped his arm around her shoulder, relieved to have her a little further away from his face. But she stopped him before they could go any further. She got in his face again and gripped his hand.
"I wasn't talking about you Malfoy. I was talking about... some other big strong male." They both grinned, and she buried her head in his chest as she stifled a laugh.
"Good comeback Granger." She socked him in the shoulder, hurting herself more on his shoulder bone than she hurt him. "Oh, now I know I definitely don't wanna mess with you!"
Hermione stopped him once more only this time she planted a kiss square on his mouth. They kissed each other hungrily, their insides wanting more. Hermione's head was screaming at her to stop.
"No! No! No!" It said. She was being manipulated. This was all part of Malfoys' plan to get her into bed. But at this moment she couldn't care less. This just felt so... right. Her head eventually won out, and she pulled away from his strong embrace. They stood in each others arms silently, breath ragged.
"Did that feel like it was... OK to you?" She asked him. He nodded vigorously. "Can I trust you?" she asked. He took a deep breath.
"I hope so..." She nodded solemnly. He caught her lips once more.
****************************************
~12:35 AM: I just got back from TDW. I kissed him. I know I shouldn't have. But... I can't even explain. I don't regret it. I think I'm falling for him. But Even he doesn't know if I should trust him! That's not exactly a vote of confidence... I'm conflicted... I'm too tired to even think right now though. Its time for some real sleep. -Hermione
*I've never had true love before, never when I longed for it and when my life was in order. So why now, when everything's crazy? Why weren't you here before?*
