Chapter 25: Dreams part IV
"Have you ever realized that Christmas colors are red and green?"
"Yeah, so?"
"It's like, it's like someone's tryin' to make a point."
"Red and green"
"Opposites"
"Gryffindor and Slytherin" I muttered. She heard me though.
"What?"
"Nothing, it's just that at my school there are four houses. Like teams, but the people are magically sorted by who they are, like personality. It's hard to explain, but anyways, each house has a color and an animal. My house and Gryffindor, that's another house, are rivals. Slytherin's, my house's, color is green and Gryffindor's color is red." I tried to explain.
"And yet those two colors are like representatives of a time of peace and goodwill (A/N p.s. we're both Jewish) and your houses are like branches of those symbols"
"But just because the colors are supposed to stand for peace and junk doesn't mean that it has anything to do with Slytherin and Gryffindor."
She looked at me with her 'prophet' face and said "Then why did you bring it up?"
A smile found its way to her face and we both cracked up, even though we both knew that she made a good point and was serious.
She leaned in close to me.
"Draco,"
"Yea?" I leaned back and she put her head on my chest.
"I have something to tell you" she sounded nervous
"What is it?"
"Well, I haven't been completely honest with you this whole summer, and we're going back to school the day after tomorrow." She began
I sat up. She looked really nervous as she looked into my eyes. I knew what was coming next. Either she was gonna say that she was only using me or something related to that or that she really liked me. I hoped that it was the second one because I really like her too, but was always afraid to tell her, for numerous obvious reasons.
"Well, I..." she began, but a bell was heard that signaled that it was time for me to go. I hesitantly go up and looked at her.
"Tell me tomorrow. I'll be here at about seven, so we can get to your end of the summer gig and you'll have time to tell me. I also have something to tell you"
I left the room and closed the door behind me.
End of Dream
I woke up with a start. Thinking about my dream I remembered the next day. Father forbid me from going to the party. I didn't see Emma until the day at the platform. That was what she was gonna tell me. That was why she was talking about red and green.
UGH! I should have noticed before. The underpants, the talking to Potter and Weasley, everything! I could avada myself! I've been a total ass and I didn't even give her a chance to explain ANYTHING!
While I was thinking of a way to apologize and try to make up, Blaise came into the dormitory.
"Yo man, I was wondering when I would see you wake up. Man, you were in such a deep sleep I thought you were dead" he joked.
"I wish" I muttered.
"What?"
"What did I miss?"
"Oh" he said, eyeing me suspiciously "Um, you don't have your first class for another twenty-five minutes"
I looked at my clock. It said 8:35.
"SHIT!" I said. I grabbed a uniform from my drawers and threw them on. I didn't have time to take a shower. I brushed my teeth and gelled my hair. By the time I was finished, it was 8:46.
"Before we go to class, we have to check up on the Dark Lord's daughter" Zambini said.
He grabbed my arm as I grabbed my books. We ran to the Infirmary.
"I don't see why I had to come with you. You could have just checked up on her by
yourself." I said. I didn't want to see her. I knew that She would never want to kiss Potter and only wanted to tell me the truth.
"Do you want to get in trouble for not following orders?" Zabini said.
"Whatever" I said. We looked through the curtains. I saw her sleeping. She looked so angelic. I didn't know how I could ever have been mad at her.
"OK, we checked up on her, now can we go?" I said. We ran to Charms with the Ravenclaws. We got there right on time.
Throughout the double period, though, the only thing that I could think about was Emma.
