Chapter 8: Comfort from a friend
"So, let me get this straight. You had the same dream that I had about you?" Draco said as he sat on the edge of her bed. Hermione nodded, still curled up in a ball.
"And we were having sex..."
"Almost at the point of having sex." Hermione corrected him. "What does it mean though?" Hermione said frustratedly as she threw the pillow aside and sat cross-legged.
"Nothing." Draco shot as her.
"How can you say that it meant nothing?" Hermione pulled her hair back on the side side "Look... these came from you."
"Things that we dream can not manifest themselves into reality, Granger."
"I know, but don't you find it a bit odd that we both have the same dream, at the same time, and I wake up with the physical attributes of the experience." Hermione got up, grabbed a pony tail and pulled her hair up into a messy-do. She put her hands on her full hips and waited for Draco to respond. *God he looks so hot* Hermione thought as she waited.
****************************
Draco didn't know what to say. He wanted so badly for the dream to be reality, but he hadn't tasted of her lips or felt her smooth skin, so how could he have given her the hickeys. The words she said on the balcony continuously ran through his mind *'At least yours was pleasant, mine was a bit unnerving to say the least.' Is that what she thought of the ecstasy he thought they shared?* Draco needed to be alone to think. "I'll talk to you tomorrow, I need to go to bed." Draco stood and walked towards the door. To his surprise, Hermione didn't object.
****************************
Hermione didn't know what to do, so she decided to turn to the one person she always turned to. the one person she felt understood her. Walking over to he CD collection, she selected her Evanescence 'Fallen' Cd. Hermione carefully opened the CD case and touched the disc. Instantly the room began to spin, then it stopped as soon as it had started, only she wasn't in her dorm room any longer. This new room in which she stood was the most familiar and comforting. The room belonged to her best friend, Ana. Through the darkness she walked over to the bedside table and turned on the lamp. The clock next to it said it was 3:49 am. Hermione sat on the edge of the bed as she watched her sleeping friend. Her curly, dark auburn hair was everywhere. Hermione smiled as she gently shook her by her shoulder.
After several moment she finally stirred, "Mum... its Saturday, lem'me sleep..." Ana mumbled as she rolled over facing away from Hermione who was laughing at her friend.
"Ana, its me, Hermione." Hermione said as she shook her again. Ana turned and squinted at her. A smile spread across her face as she sat up and wrapped her arms around Hermione.
"Hey girl, how's everything going.." Ana managed to say before she yawned. "Sorry"
"Things are a lot harder then I expected them to be." Hermione sighed.
"Your smart. You'll get through it, you always do." Ana encouraged her.
"Its not the school work that I am having trouble with." Hermione said
"Then whats the problem?"
"You remember that guy, Draco, I mentioned...."
"The albino?" Ana laughed.
Hermione laughed too. "Yes, the albino. Although I don't know if I would call him that anymore."
"Why not?"
"He is unbelievably gorgeous."
"Really?!" Ana yawned again
"And he made Head Boy."
Ana raised her eyebrow.
"I have to share my common room with him. Hes been such and ass to me over the past 6 years, with all his 'mudblood' comments..."
Ana interrupted Hermione "So, just hex him. Your 10 time more brilliant then any of the purebloods... Whats that on your neck?" Ana asked as she turned Hermione's head to get a better look.
"I'll get to that in a minute." Hermione said as she turned her head and looked back at her friend who had a look of total disbelief "FOCUS" Hermione snapped her fingers in front of Ana's face "Like I was saying, over the past 6 years he had been terrible, but since school started he has actually been nice."
"So, you think he's changed?" Ana asked still trying to look at Hermione's neck without making it obvious that she was.
"See, I don't know. One minute hes nice then the next hes the same ole Draco."
Hermione told her everything, from the first night to the dream she had tonight.
"Wow! So thats where you got those?" Ana said referring to the marks on her neck.
"I don't know where else I would have gotten them. I haven't kissed anyone else since I've been at school..."
"Technically you haven't even kissed him!" Ana laughed.
"I know, It's just so weird. I don't know what to do."
"Maybe he likes you just as much as you like him?" Ana suggested. "After all he did say it was a pleasant dream."
"Ana...I don't like him. I can't, not after what hes done."
"You do, otherwise you wouldn't have come to my house at 4:00 in the morning to tell me about him. Forgive him, Hermione."
"I can't..."
"You said that he told you he stood up for you to his father, and from what you've told me about Lucius these many years, that doesn't happen very often. Maybe he has changed, and is just waiting for you to notice it."
"So what should I do?" Hermione asked softly.
"See where things will go. And if hes as HOTT as your telling me, whatever happens won't be all bad." Ana gave her a huge smile.
"Thanks, Ana." Hermione hugged her. "I better get back it's getting late." The clock said it was 10 after 7. "Or rather its early" Hermione laughed.
"Love you girl. Come back and tell me what happens alright."
"You know I will." Hermione said as she walked over to the desk and touched the CD. By the time she got back to her room, the first rays of light were coming through her window. She wasn't remotely tired even though she hadn't slept much, so she decided to get into the shower. Hermione let the cool water run down her face as she stood with her head against the wall of the shower. She still had no idea what to do about Draco. She was attracted to him, yes, but how could she follow Ana's advice, and forgive him? Was what he said in the dream even the truth? Hermione stepped out of the shower and wrapped the fluffy over-sized towel around her slender body. She slowly turned the knob to Draco's room, and walked across the room to his bedside. His bleach blonde hair layed loosely around his face. He looked sweet and innocent...Hermione laughed quietly. Turning, she walked back through the bathroom and into her own room.
