Hello, how are you. So, do you own the Harry Potter chacters? Yeah, neither do I...

I'm really sorry I haven't updated in forever. It's kind of hard to get on the computer when you're grounded...but to make up for it I have a bit of a Draco/Hermione moment happening in this chapter...YAY!


Great Hall (October 19)

Hermione entered the Great Hall around 5:30 Sunday morning, she couldn't sleep. Something in the back of her mind was bugging her, but she couldn't figure out what it was. The room was empty except one other student. It was a Slytherin, so she didn't feel like she had to look to see who it was. The Slytherin, on the other hand, was watching her closely.

'Come on, look over here!' Draco Malfoy, the Slytherin, was saying to himself. He wanted to prove to himself that he was not attracted to the muggle-born. He had cast a spell on her, summoning her to the Great Hall. His dream caused him to do this.

THE DREAM

He found himself waiting in front of the Slytherin portrait for Hermione Granger to emerge from behind it. When she did he got on his knees and proclaimed his love for her to her and everyone that was around him. She smiled and told him that she too loved him. Then they kissed.


At that point Malfoy woke up, sweating profusely. What's worse, he wasn't sickened when he awoke. It was a very innocent dream, fewer things occurred in it then had in some of his other dreams, but none of the others had Hermione. It was a very innocent dream, but he couldn't forget the kiss. It seemed so...real. Nothing like anything he'd ever gotten from Pansy.

He stood up and walked towards Hermione, making sure nobody else was around.

"Hey." He whispered while sitting across from her.

Her eyes went wide and she stared at him. It took her a little while to realize she was in the Great Hall, and not in her bed.

"So, you couldn't sleep either?" She yawned and watched him carefully.

"Nope, but I got here first."

"Oh," A light suddenly clicked on in her head; "You're the Slytherin."

He nodded, and for another half-hour they chatted about random things. They stopped once another student walked into the room.

"I guess I should go before another student accuses you of liking me."

She smiled as he walked off. 'Well, he's being really nice lately.'

'Well, it's been confirmed,' Malfoy sighed as he walked out of the Great Hall, 'I'm falling for Hermione.'


Hallways (October 19)

'Draco is acting really weird lately.' Hermione told herself as she left the Great Hall almost twenty minutes after Malfoy had.

'He's not being his usually self, I've actually been able to stand him lately. On the other hand, Harry and Ron have become the biggest jerks I've ever met. Maybe this is just some crazy twisted dream or something.'

She walked up towards the Gryffindor common room to collect her books, completely forgetting that it was a Sunday. She passed Harry and Ron, who had obviously just woken up. Probably for Quidditch practice or something like that. She tried to hide in the crowd of people around her, but it was pretty hard seeing as their were only five people around her, two of which were the before mentioned.

Both guys, obviously forgetting they were jerks, waved her over. Hermione stuck up her nose and gave them the cold shoulder as she walked away from them.

"Stupid gits, they don't even remember that I'm mad at them."

Some second year Ravenclaws heard her talking to herself, and snickered to each other while walking in the opposite direction. She had to stop herself from the urge to give them all detentions.

She turned the corner and realized that she didn't have any classes that day. When she thought this she closed her eyes and clenched her fists.

'I am losing it!' She almost screamed, but stopped herself when she heard a voice call out her name.

"Hermione," It called out again, "Are you okay?"

She looked up and smiled once she realized it was Draco. She really did not want to put up with anyone else at that moment.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little frustrated, that's all." She sighed and leaned against the wall opposite of Draco. "I know this may make me seem stupid, but I actually thought that today was Monday. I was heading up the Gryffindor Common Room to get my books."

Malfoy laughed at this comment, "That doesn't seem stupid Hermione."

Hearing him say her name sent chills down her spine, at other times he said it like a curse word; but this time was different. She dismissed the thought and he continued talking.

"I've actually done that plenty of times."

"No!" Hermione looked at him, a smile forming on her lips. She was about to say something else when she heard two familiar voices shouting out her name.

'Damn, I really do not want to put up with them right now. What can I do to get rid of them? Oh I've got it!' Her face lit up and she moved towards Draco.

"Forgive me for this Malfoy..." As she saw Harry and Ron turning the corner and walking towards her, she grabbed Draco's face and brought it to hers, linking her lips with his.
