Once the solemn breakfast was over, Ginny and Draco went to speak with the Dream Team. Since the trio could usually be found together, it was fairly easy to find them. They were all sitting on the floor in Ron's obnoxiously, brightly colored room playing an old wizard's card game. From the looks of things, the game was mere seconds from being over.  

They all looked up when Draco and Ginny walked into the room. For several seconds after their entrance, there was an unnatural, unnerving, uncomfortable silence.

Draco, in an unusual move, cleared his throat and took the initiative with them.

"Hi guys! Could Ginny and I speak with you for a few more minutes?

"So you can tell us…" Ron began responding back to Draco with a great amount of sarcasm dripping from his tongue, but was viciously cut off by a blow to his shin from Hermione. She gave him a meaningful glare that Professor McGonagall would have been proud of; then turned to Draco and gave him an inviting half-smile that encouraged him to continue.

Draco returned the half-smile and motioned with his hand to inquire if he could sit down on the floor with them. Harry scooted over to the other side of Ron to make room for Draco and Ginny.

Draco sat down and pulled Ginny down too. When they were settled on the floor, Draco continued speaking, "I know that I have done some horrible things to you guys. I know that I was an ass, but can you honestly say that you guys were any better? I don't think you can. However, that is not what is important anymore; what is important is that we are now a family. I love Ginny and she loves me. I am a part of her life and that means I am a part of yours too. I want to clear the air; I want to try to be friends. Not only because it is important to Ginny; it is important to me too. I am not that snotty brat that was on the train all those years ago. I have changed. I have grown up…just like you. So, can we try?"

With that said, he held out his right hand. Hermione quickly gave him her hand and shook it with a smile.

"Thank you" Draco said with a relief evident in his voice.

"No thanks are necessary…you are right, we have all changed." she replied with a smile.

Ginny, at this point, had tears streaming down her face and grabbed Hermione by the arm. "Thank you…" she said as she pulled Hermione into an embrace, "I've missed you 'Mione."

Hermione pulled her close and said, "I've missed having you talk to too. Ron and Harry can be such guys!"

Both girls broke into giggles with that and the boys shook their heads in male exasperation. Harry reached out his hand to Draco. Draco took with a grin and shook it.

"You have a wonderful lady there…treat her right or else." Harry said with a hard glint in his eyes and a smile at Ginny. Ginny looked at Harry in shock, but kept quiet.

Draco simply nodded and said, "I know and I am thankful everyday for her."

Then, Draco turned to Ron and presented his right hand. Ron took a long soulful look at it, looked Draco dead in the eyes and grabbed his hand firmly.

He shook Draco's hand solidly and said, "My sister seems happy…"

"I'd like to think she is…" Draco responded.

"I am…very happy." Ginny assured them all with a grin. A bond had been formed.

They sat playing games for most of the morning; it was marked with a lot laughing. Although every once in a while, Harry, Ron or Hermione would notice that Draco and Ginny would trade side long glances with serious undertones.

Eventually, it was time for lunch and Molly called them all to the kitchen. The lunch passed as it usually did with much family mayhem. Of course, it never reached chaotic levels because the twins were at their shop for the day.

Once the meal was over, Draco, Ginny, Harry, Hermione and Ron headed back up to Ron's room. They all reclaimed their pre-lunch seats and Ron grabbed the cards, but before he dealt them out; Ginny cleared her throat and asked for another few moments of their time.

"Ginny, this is becoming a habit with you and Draco." Hermione teased the young couple.

Ginny tried to smile, but it did not quite meet the mark. Draco slightly ruffled the hair on Ginny's head, but she exasperatedly batted his hand away. Then, she spoke, "As much as we want to prolong this new found peace between all of us- and believe me, Draco and I are both extremely happy about this- we also think it might be a good idea to further discuss our breakfast conversation."

"Ginny, I agree. I think we do need to discuss this. I assume that Dumbledore sent a copy of the Prophecy with you?" Hermione questioned.

"Of course…" Draco assured Hermione and pulled his wand out. From there, he Accio'd for the copy of the Prophecy that was in Ginny and his bedroom. The parchment floated through the doorway and fell at Draco's feet. He pointedly looked at Hermione then at the parchment. Hermione took the hint and picked up the parchment.

She read it carefully, sighed, and read it again. Once she had apparently gleamed all she could from the Prophecy, she sat it down on the floor.  

"Hermione- are you alright?" Ron asked his girlfriend who had suddenly become very quiet and pale.

"No, I don't think I am. Over the last two weeks, I have been having a recurring dream. At first, it started out as you, Harry and I walking in a field. It could have been anywhere and we are having a nice relaxing walk. Each night, the dream would become a bit longer and reveal more of the scene. Last night, I made it through to the part where one of us dies." Hermione choked up at the last statement and began crying in earnest.

Ron moved closer to Hermione and pulled her into his arms. He gently guided her head to his chest and lightly rocked her.

Once she had calmed down, she pulled back, sniffled loudly and asked for a hanky. Harry pulled out a cloth handkerchief and handed it over to Hermione. She blew her nose, gently folded the hanky up and put it in her pocket with a promise to return it later.

Then, she turned to face everyone and said, "I know who is going to die."
