Chapter 8- Dream Connection
Draco found himself in a dark room. He didn't know where the walls were. He didn't know if there were any walls at all! There was no door and it looked like the floor was gone. All he could see was black.
"Draco? Draco, is that you?" A soft voice whimpered. "Are you there, Draco?" The voice sounded so helpless. He looked everywhere and found a faint light; like a moonbeam. A girl stood there. It was Cho. She looked like a ragged, helpless little child with a tear-stained face and tattered, bedraggled robes.
"Cho!" Draco called to her.
"Help me..." She whimpered once again. "Draco, help me... please help me..." Her voice trailed off into sobs. Then she walked to Draco, who almost ran to her. Cho hugged him tight and cried. She looked like she hung onto him for dear life. Draco held her for support and comforted her. As soon as they calmed themselves, a deep bellow sounded.
"STAY AWAY FROM HIM, GIRL! I WARNED YOU! GET AWAY, FILTHY BLOOD!"
Then a loud, scolding voice of a woman sounded. "YOU ARE FORBIDDEN TO SEE HIM! WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU? STAY CLEAR OF HIM! HE'S DANGEROUS!"
Both voices, shrill, scolding voices, were deafening. Draco and Cho covered their ears and screamed, telling the voices to leave them be. The two of them dropped to their knees. Draco cursed and Cho cried hard. The scolding, shrill voices just became louder and louder.
Draco and Cho gave up and just shut their eyes tightly, hoping it would soon end. They were down on their knees, holding on to one another for protection. This made the voices angrier and loud as ever. Cho and Draco started to sweat out of fear. Then they both screamed, "Leave us alone!"
They tried and tried, but it didn't work. It just made matters worse.
Cho's eyes suddenly opened and she sat up. She say Draco do the same in the bed next to hers. They found that they were in the Infirmary. It was just a dream. The both of them breathed hard and had cold sweats.
"What in the world...?" Madame Pomfrey looked up. "Are you two alright?"
"I-It was just... yeah..." Cho clutched her head. She was a bit dizzy.
"I'll be back with some towels." Madame Pomfrey said and left.
Draco then looked at Cho. "Did we just dream...the same thing...?"
"Most likely." Cho gave a small smile. "If it involved darkness and loud voices, then yes." She blinked and found drops of tears run down her face. She was still overwhelmed from the dream. But she quickly stood up, staggered on Draco's bed, and threw herself onto him. "I'm sorry...! For hurting you and caused your father to..." She found herself sobbing. "I didn't know what to do! My mum... your father... everything was so confusing and wrong! I shouldn't have listened to anyone but me!"
Draco hugged her tightly. "It's okay," he gave a small laugh "I'm sorry as well. I should be! I never meant what I said about hating you. I can never hate you or forget you, even though I had thought for a while I had. But when I hurt you with that spell-sorry for that-I realized I still really care for you. No matter what anyone said. You're alright from the spell...?"
Cho nodded. "Yeah."
"Here you go, dears," Madame Pomfrey came back with two hot, damp towels. "Now, just lie down a while with these on your foreheads." She looked at them. "Miss Chang, do you mind going back to your own bed, please?"
"Oh, sure. Sorry." Cho went pink.
"Mmhm," Madam Pomfrey smiled teasingly and placed the towels on their heads. "So, you both have solved your endless conflicts I expect? Mr. Potter and Miss Granger said that you, Mr. Malfoy, hurt Cho here with the Crucio spell. That's quite harsh."
"It was an accident. I didn't mean the spell for Cho. It was supposed to hit-"
"Mr. Potter," Madame Pomfrey finished. "I know. Am I not right? You two kept me busy this past week! It's a surprise Professor Dumbledore hasn't expelled you both! Fighting... huh..."
"Draco," Cho just noticed he was actually "there". "Why are you in here? You didn't get hurt, did you?"
Draco looked puzzled. "I... I don't know. All I remembered was that my head was pounding with pain that I couldn't see clearly. Potter and that Granger were yelling, and I just... gave in. I felt the pain just shortly after my spell hit you."
Just then, Dumbledore walked in. "I can tell you what happened. And after I'm done here, I hope you and Harry could stop the madness you two have."
Cho gasped. "Is Harry okay? And Hermione? If they are, I don't want them to thing I'm... dead or anything..."
"Hermione is fine. It told her you'd be okay." Replied Dumbledore.
"And Harry?"
"He doesn't know your progress yet. He's serving detention at the moment for doing the Crucio spell on Mr. Malfoy." Dumbledore nodded to him.
"He did what?!" cried Draco angrily. "So that's why I blacked out?!"
"Yes," said Dumbledore calmly. "But I warn you this: don't try to get him in return. I have tolerated the fighting long enough. It must stop immediately. One more out of you and Harry, and you'll both be expelled from Hogwarts on the spot. Understood?" Draco nodded and Cho's eyes grew wide. "Now, if you'll please excuse me, I need to see how Harry's doing since I know you and Miss Chang are doing just find." With that, Dumbledore left.
"Madame Pomfrey," said Cho. "How long exactly were Draco and I in here?"
"About a day now. You both scared me. I thought you'd never wake up! It seemed you two were in endless nightmares!"
Cho and Draco glanced at one another and smiled.

Author's Note: Relieved now, are you? Lol... Are you disappointed that this is the end? [sigh] Well, I'm sorry. It has to end somewhere, and this is the end... of the chapter I mean! =D There's got to be some sort of ending to the story, and this isn't it! Just a few more chapters ahead! Oh, does anyone here RP (role-play)? I sort of need someone (more for the lads) to RP Draco Malfoy on xanga... anyone have a xanga?
