Rain of Tears
Chapter 6
Nightmare
Draco sat behind Hermione. He held in his hand the Daily Prophet but he wasn't reading it. He kept thinking of Hermione. She looked so beautiful now that her hair was different and she, herself, was somewhat changed.
Hermione was reading the book that Draco had been reading (Your Blood and Mine.) She rather liked the story. It told the tale of how two enemies fell in love and how by blood they were denied to marry each other. However Hermione felt like she was being watched and she didn't like it to much, so in less than 30 minutes she closed the book and began to walk towards the stairs when she realized she still had Draco's book. "Can I borrow this?" she asked.
Draco looked up at her and then at the book in her hand. He shrugged and said, "You can have it, I've read it."
"Thank you Draco." Hermione thought for a second, she had called him Draco. She couldn't dare call him Malfoy when he had done something sweet...or had he really.
She went up to her room. Hermione wasn't at all tired though it was almost eleven and she had an early class. She read Draco's book for at least another hour.
When the clock ticked midnight she decided to try to get some shuteye. But it wasn't working, so much had happened and the day's images kept playing back on her mind.
She tossed and turned for sometime. She tried to count sheep but her mind kept playing tricks on her.
She decided to go down to the common room and sit there to see if her mind would clear. She slipped on her red robe and white slippers.
She was making her way down the stairs when she heard someone call out "No stop please, don't stop it." Hermione listened to hear from where the cries were coming from. She followed it to Draco room. She hesitated as she put her hand on the doorknob. Then she heard Draco call out again, "Don't, your hurting her your going to kill her, stop!" Hermione opened the door and walked in. His room looked just like hers except that the walls were green. Draco was on the bed with his blankets up to his waist he was sweaty and he kept on shouting, "Stop! Stop!"
Hermione went to his side and shook him to see if he would wake up. Suddenly he sat up and opened his silver eyes. He was breathing really hard. He noticed Hermione next to him. "What are you doing here?" he asked with a somewhat hateful glare in his eyes.
"I was going to the common room and I heard you call out. So I came to see what was wrong." He seemed calmer now and was breathing more easily. "Are you alright?" asked Hermione.
"I'm fine could you please get out, Hermione." There it was again. He had called her Hermione.
"Are you sure? Do you need anything?" She asked still not convinced.
"I said get the hell out." He said in an angry tone.
Hermione went out of his room with out another word. She couldn't go to sleep now so much had happened. So she laid herself on the couch and let her thought wonder off.
She woke up the next morning. She checked her watch it was 9:40 there was no point in going to class it was about to end.
Hermione just sat by the fire, thinking of the night before, when she heard a peck on the window; she went and opened taking the letter from a barn owl that had fluttered into the common room.
She opened the letter and read:
Dear Miss. Granger, Your detention will take place at 8:00 tonight. Meet me in my office.
M. McGonegall
Hermione groaned. She had totally forgotten about detention.
The week went by pretty fast. She got the homework she had missed for Care of Magical Creatures.
Detention wasn't too hard all they had to do was help Professor McGonegall with some exam papers.
Hermione was in Transfiguration class when she got the news that would ruin her life. First, how she hadn't paid attention in her last Transfiguration class she didn't hear McGonegall tell them about the project they had to do, and that if they didn't turn it in they would get a weeks detention. After class McGonegall asked for her and Malfoy to stay behind. "I don't want to here any excuse you might have came up with. First you can take a week detention, or you can take my proposition. Here goes: Mr. Malfoy, you know you are failing this class. I have assigned you a tutor for one month. If you do not raise your grades in one month or at least make and effort I will drop you from this class. And you Miss. Granger can take these lessons twice a week for a month. So what will it be?" Hermione couldn't decide which was worst. Malfoy must of felt the same because he didn't say anything. "Please pick, I do not have all day." She waited a while "Alright I'll pick for you Miss. Granger you will give him the lessons." Hermione's jaw dropped. " If he gives you any trouble please come tell me, for then not only will he be dropped from my class he will also earn himself the detention. Hermione wasn't sure how things would go but she agreed. Draco didn't seem too pleased, since he wasn't able to get a say in anything.
