Chapter 7
Dreams
"Why are you so afraid of Professor Blue?" Malfoy asked. The question hit Hermoine like a whip. She looked away not knowing what to say.
"He killed me…" Hermoine said finally.
"Yup, your medicine should be here soon." Malfoy said mockingly. Hermoine gave him a stern look.
"I'm serious Malfoy." She glared at him irritably. "I had a dream and he killed me."
"Nobody even found out about Professor Blue until dinner and you didn't even show up. I don't see how you could have had a dream about someone you hadn't even met." Malfoy was ready for a good argument.
"I don't know…" Hermoine hadn't even thought about that. Now that Malfoy had pointed it out it kinda creeped her out. She shivered.
Malfoy sighed and rolled his eyes. "If you're really so worried about it then I would suggest talking to Trelawney about it. She's an idiot of a professor but believe it or not she is good at analyzing dreams." Hermoine looked at him like he was mad.
"I'm not going to go see that sorry ass ditz." Hermoine was astonished that he would even suggest such a thing to her. Everyone knows how much she hates that witch.
"Harsh." Was all Malfoy could come back with before Madam Pomfrey walked into the room.
"Oh, Draco dear I've been looking everywhere for you. I need you to keep an eye on Hermoine while I go finish up some paper work." Madam Pomfrey handed Malfoy a vial of a clear but obviously thick liquid. "Give her 10cc's of this every 4 hours."
"How long are you going to be gone?" Interrupted Hermoine anxiously.
"I'm not sure. I also have to run to the herbal shop in Hogsmead." Madam Pomfrey smiled. "Don't worry Draco will take good care of you." Malfoy grinned.
"Yes, Hermoine. I'll take good care of you." Malfoy could hardly suppress his wicked snickering. Madam Pomfrey gave them one last reassuring smile and left out the door.
"Does she realize she's going to the herbal shop in the middle of the night?" Hermoine asked Malfoy suspiciously.
"It's just her cover up for going to the pub." Said Malfoy. "She's actually a pretty hefty drinker."
Hermoine gave him a confused look. "Really?"
"You're so easy Hermoine." Replied Malfoy half laughing. "But… are you easy in other ways too?"
"Malfoy!" Hermoine wasn't surprised. Malfoy has always been a pervert, but for him to hit on her so directly. "You wouldn't stoop so low and take advantage of a helpless sick girl would you?"
"Helpless. Ha!" Malfoy meandered slowly toward the bed. "You have the mouth of a viper, Granger."
"Oh dear, are you flirting with me?" Hermoine grinned. "I must have mistaken it for stupidity."
"Let's see that viper mouth of yours in action." Malfoy was now standing over her, smiling all too maliciously. "Shall we?" He leaned down toward her.
Hermoine's mouth gapped in eagerness. She couldn't help herself. Draco was so seductive, she wanted him. She closed her eyes as he came closer.
Malfoy poured the thick clear headache potion into her mouth. Hermione's eyes flew open as she choked the awful medicine down. It tasted horrible and bitter like sour milk.
Malfoy laughed, "You really thought I would kiss you!?" He wiped tears from his eyes. "Like I said before, Hermoine, you are too easy!"
"You're such a…" Hermoine frowned in dismay. She couldn't think of a good word to describe Malfoy, he was so many things. "boy." She finally decided.
"Well I would hope so. Growing up all this time thinking I was a boy and finding out I was really a girl would be quite devastating." Malfoy said, turning toward the heavy door that led to the next room. "I'll be back in four hours to give you some more of the potion." Malfoy walked out of the room and shut the heavy door gently.
Hermoine sighed. She restlessly rolled over and closed her eyes in an effort to sleep.
"Hermoine…" A distant drawling voice said. A voice that sounded as if it were being taken away with the wind.
Everything was dark and light at the same time. Cloudy and clear. It had to be another dream.
"Hello?" Hermoine answered curiously. "Cardinal?" Was that who's voice it was? She couldn't tell, but who else's could it be? Everyone was asleep and Madam Pince was on the library floor unconscious.
"It's our destiny… Hermoine…" The voice sounded closer this time. Though it still flew away with the wind.
"Cardinal!?" She knew it was him. She could feel him, his presence coming closer. He was coming for her. He would save her again, but for what? To kill her again?
A paper flew to her feet. Where did it come from? Hermoine bent down and picked it up. It was a note in green ink. She had read about notes written in green ink before. In Japanese culture in was a sign of love. If you write a note to someone in green ink, they are sure to fall in love with you.
Sweet Hermoine,
Follow my voice. And drown me in your beautiful presence.
Your Destiny,
Cardinal Blue
Hermione woke startled in a cold sweat. She sat up in bed stiffly. Another dream about Cardinal Blue, just this time she could remember every detail.
Maybe paying a visit to Trelawney wouldn't be such a bad idea.
A.N. If only I could upload the colors and fonts I use for the fanfic. That would be cool cuz I put the whole dream in green except for Cardinal Blue at the end of the letter. Has anyone else heard about the whole green ink concept? I actually got it from a Ranma ½ manga (can't remember which volume ). I don't know if it was just in Ranma ½ or if it really is something in Japanese culture so don't get mad at me for giving you false info… yup it also ties in with the password I picked for Gryffindor Tower, Green Ink From Blue! I'm so clever lol.
