Chapter 21- Midnight

Draco was fast asleep on the couch with his arm safely around Hermione's waist. He had come so far with her and wasn't about to loose her when they were so close to freedom. Hermione was finding it somewhat hard to fall asleep that night. She carefully lifter Draco's arm from around her and gently placed it on the couch insuring not to disturb his much needed rest.

The uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach wasn't very comforting. She slowly walked towards the back of the Burrow where she walked through the door leading to the...well I guess you could call it a backyard. Hermione felt a cool breeze whip past her. It was a nice summer night. Everything was so tranquil except for the racket coming from inside the burrow. She hopped it wouldn't wake up Draco. She heard the door behind her creek. She turned around to be face to face with none other than Harry.

"Ron sure has gotten a lot of clutter around the house." Harry said while straightening himself out after what seemed to have been a clumsy experience.

Hermione let out a small laugh in amusement. "Yeah, so that was you in there."

Harry nodded. "Hermione, I know your probably tired of explaining yourself but, in all honesty please tell me how you truly feel about Malfoy."

Hermione sighed feeling a bit exasperated. "Harry, I truly love Draco. I know we're not the most usual couple. In fact we are completely opposite. But as they say opposites attract. I love Draco Malfoy and he loves me."

"Are you sure? Is this really worth it I mean crossing a Malfoy? Especially Lucius?" Harry inquired very fretful with his friend's choice.

Hermione put her hand on Harry's arm. "Look, This will work out I know it. It's worth everything I've got and more. Even if I have to go through an army of Malfoys we will be together."

"Okay, As long as you know what your doing. But what about school? Will you be coming back to Hogwarts? Silly questions really." Harry said hoping it really was a silly question to be asking Hermione Granger.

Hermione went quiet for a minute. With everything that had been happening she completely forgot about Hogwarts.

"Hermione?" Harry asked a little concerned.

"I-I don't know Harry, we haven't really talked about it. To be honest we forgot about Hogwarts."

"Hermione you can't be serious. You're going to miss our last year at Hogwarts where you'll probably become head girl." Harry spoke with a very stern tone.

Hermione looked up at the stars not saying anything. She couldn't imagine herself not finishing Hogwarts.

"We haven't figured everything out yet. When we do determine everything I'll let you know."

"Hermione," Harry said not knowing how she was feeling or what he could do to help her.

Hermione and Harry had gotten so close over the years that passed. Their relationship was more of a brother sister relationship than just a friendship. He would always be watching out for Hermione.

"Well Hermione, its getting late I'm going to go back to bed and try not to kill myself getting there. You should head in too," said Harry breaking the silence.

Hermione laughed, "I will don't worry about me. Good night"

Harry walked towards the door and headed inside. A minute or so after Harry went inside she heard a little crash. Poor Harry, she laughed to herself shaking her head. Hermione went inside 10 or 20 minutes after Harry. She was finally feeling tired.

She saw Draco on the couch still fast a sleep in exactly the same position she left him in. She smiled and moved a piece of fallen hair behind his ear. She lay down on the couch beside him placing his arm back around her. Hermione closed her eyes and thought about Hogwarts. She had to talk to Draco about it in the morning. She didn't know what their plans were after they had gotten away. Before she had even realized it she had fallen fast asleep in Draco's arms.

There she was once again like so many times before. In the arms of her mystery man sharing they're passion for each other. It came to the moment again where he would tell her he loved her. She still wasn't able to see his face no matter how hard she tried. The words came out of his mouth. It was as if everything was in slow motion. It seemed to be exactly like all those other times. But something changed. It was different. She could somewhat see the features of the man before her. Finally she could see more clearly than ever before whom this anonymous man was. It was DRACO!

Hermione woke up simply beaming. The man she had been dreaming of all those nights before was her Draco. To her this was a sign, a sign that her and Draco were meant to be no matter what the consequences. This dream that she had been having ever since the beginning of the summer was finally so clear to her. For once in her life she felt like something that seemed so unattainable was actually genuine.

A/N: I know that was a super short chapter but I wanted to get a few things cleared up and out in the open. Please R&R!
