Chapter 2

Draco's Dream

As can be expected from Snape, he simply told Draco to sit down, without a word of his tardiness. Draco sat in the last empty seat right next to Hermione. She tensed as he sat beside her, reminding him of the events of the morning thus far...

Draco woke up exactly on time, as usual, but he promptly rolled over and buried his face in his pillow, hoping for the dream to continue. Unfortunately, as is often the case, he could not return to sweet slumber after waking at the proper time. He groaned in annoyance, but then realized whom he had been dreaming about.

Granger.

Why would he want to dream about a mudblood like her? However, he couldn't deny that her lips had felt so soft against his own...

Draco sat up and went through his morning activities, trying to forget these traitorous thoughts. As he went downstairs, he saw Pansy Parkinson waiting for him.

"Hi, Draco!" she greeted him. "Did you sleep well?"

He muttered a non-committal response and continued to breakfast. Pansy followed, attempting at conversation.

'She really is quite pushy, isn't she?' Draco thought. 'Perhaps I should teach her a lesson. But how...?'

Draco's thoughts were interrupted as he found himself staring at Hermione Granger. She blushed bright pink and ran back out of the great hall. Suddenly, Draco thought of a plan to show Pansy who is in control. He might even have some fun with Potter and Weasley in the process. Draco laughed aloud and went to prepare for the first class of the day, potions.

Draco kept glancing at Hermione Granger during potions, and his hand kept mysteriously brushing against hers. Draco was oddly silent during the lesson. He hadn't even taken the time to insult Hermione. Hermione had taken note of this, but chided herself.

'You're over-reacting. He doesn't feel anything for you.' Despite her mind's warnings, she could still feel her heartbeat accelerate and her skin tingle when she saw a bit of parchment on the table.

Meet me in the library after class. -DM

She glanced at Draco, but he was busy with his potion. She decided to meet him. After all, what's the worst he could do, insult her? She smiled at the thought of meeting Draco and continued to work on her potion.

A/N: To oreo69not96, thank you! You were my first reviewer ever, and yes, that makes you very special indeed. I have made the paragraphs shorter, but as far as making the chapter longer, I felt this was a good place to end and I didn't really feel like writing anymore at the moment. I may make some of the next chapters longer (I know it's frustrating to break the story for a day or so before you can continue), but it depends on how my brain is feeling. lol. To all my other readers (if you're out there), I love you and please review. I know it's not very good, but I will get better through your critique, and it brightens my day to read reviews (one hour after I read my first review I wrote and posted another chapter). Thanks! until next time.
