Chapter: The midnight vision

A cold hand rested against my cheek as I slept. I turned to see Voldermort grinning madly over me.

"Lovely girl, shame I have to kill you."

"H-H-Harry!" I called.

"He's already dead."

My head slowly turned to the cot next to me to see Harry sprawled on his bed with a look of horror on his face. His dazzling emerald eyes were fixed on the ceiling minus their usual sparkle and his mouth hung open.

Tears slid down my cheeks once it finally hit me that Harry was gone.

"Don't worry, you will be next."

"I am not afraid of you!" I rested back on my arms, awaiting his killing spell.

He raised his wand parallel to my forehead. I shuttered and noticed him lean forward.

I closed my eyes. He began to laugh madly…that is when I woke up.

My body was covered in sweat. My hair stuck to my neck when I sat up.

"Harry?" I whispered.

He did not move.

I kicked my blanket off and placed my feet onto the floor. My legs began to shake as I attempted to stand. Once on my feet, I tried walking the three foot gap between our beds. I lifted my leg to find that it was hard to move. Must be the medicine Madame Pomfrey gave me. After two steps my knees gave in and I fell. I grabbed for Harry's bed when I fell and pulled myself onto it.

"Harry…"

My voice was hoarse and dry.

I tried to shake his leg.

He began to stir.

Good it was just a dream.

"Harry!"

"Huh? What's going on?" He reached for his glasses. I began to cry once more, "He didn't get you."

"What re you talking about Hermione?" He began to get out of bed. "Did you see someone?"

"Nightmare." I wiped away my tears.

Harry stroked my head. "What happened?"

"Voldermort got you." I rested my head on his bed, still kneeling on the floor.

"Do you want me to talk to you until you fall asleep?"

"Can I just sleep with you?"

Harry paused. "Sure. Get on up here."

I struggled to my feet but Harry held out his hand for me. In the darkness I could still see the outline of his body. He helped me into his bed and readjusted himself to make us both comfortable. I buried my head into his chest. He wrapped his arms around me and held me close. ((A/N: Especially since it was a small bed.))

"I am sorry for yelling at you earlier." He whispered.

"It's all right. I am sorry for being overdramatic."

"You have every right to be, I was an ass!"

I laughed.

"You okay now?"

"I think so."

A few moments of silence passed before any one said anything.

"Good night Harry."

"Night Hermione."

I closed my eyes and inhaled Harry's scent until I fell asleep.

The next morning I woke up extra early to take a shower before going down to the great hall. When I got out Harry was still asleep.

I kissed his forehead before retreating behind a curtain to change. He woke up and sat up, rubbing his head.

His hair, as messy as ever, looked even more untamable. He yawned as he reached for his glasses for a second time this morning. This time with great success.

Madame Pomfrey pulled back the curtain and approached him. "Good Morning Mr. Potter."

"Morning."

"Why don't you take a shower and go down to breakfast."

Harry nodded. He got up and stretched and walked toward the showers I held my shirt to my chest as he passed.

He walked into the bathroom as I put my shirt on. I pulled back the curtain and gathered my belongings. Madame Pomfrey smiled at me. "You want me to tell him that you went to breakfast?"

I nodded.

"Have a nice day Miss Granger."

"You too."

I walked out the door and down the stairs to the great hall.

"Hey Hermione, feeling better?" Ginny shouted as I walked toward the Griffyndor table.

I smiled. "Yeah."

"Where is Harry?" Ron asked.

"Taking a shower."

"Hermione are you going home tomorrow?" Ginny asked as I sat down.

"No, I am staying here."

"I thought you were." Ron exclaimed.

I shook my head.

"We are going back to the burrow. We always thought you had made plans with your parents."

"They sent me an owl a few days ago saying that something came up."

"Ooo." Ron blew some hair out of his eyes.

"Hey it's no big deal guys."

"We invited Harry along, now you will be all alone."

"It's fine guys. I have to catch up on my reading." I pat my book bag.

"I guess all that time you spent snogging with Harry really does cut into your reading time." Ron said jokingly.

"Shut up Ronald." I blushed.

He laughed.

I threatened to throw a piece of toast at him.

He shielded his face.

"You're just jealous, Ron." Ginny folded her arms.

"No I'm not. I just like pissing off Hermione."

"Oh really." I laughed after realizing this.

I raised my hand with the toast in it.

"Oh no not the toast." Ron shrieked in a girly tone similar to his sisters.

Ginny rolled her eyes.

"What are you so uptight about Gin?" Ron asked while hiding behind his transfiguration book.

I noticed the tears forming in her eyes.

"Nothing."

"Ginny, is there something wrong?" I placed my toast onto my plate.

The tears in Ginny's eyes became bigger.

"Seamus broke up with me!" She wailed.

"I am so sorry Gin." I said comforting.

"I told you that you shouldn't date him."

Ginny glared at Ron. "Well I did."

"You aren't helping anything Ron." I said through my teeth.

Ginny laid her head on the table and began to cry.'

I looked at Ron. "Comfort her!"

He pulled his younger sister into a hug.

She cried into his chest. Ron gave me a look that showed how much he didn't enjoy it. I shrugged then took a bite out of my toast.

"Good morning baby." I heard whispered in my ear.

I turned around to find Harry behind me.

"Morning." I smiled. "Thank you, for last night."

I kissed him.

"No problem. I wish we could do that more often."

"God, did you guys have sex in the hospital wing?" Ron said with a disgusted look on his face.

Harry looked at me. "Darn it, our secret is out Hermione. Now everyone will know about the bun in your oven."

"You got her pregnant!" Ginny exclaimed.

Many people turned around. I blushed while Harry laughed.

"No, Hermione isn't pregnant. We have not even had sex."

Ron and Ginny looked relieved.

I laughed at the looks on their faces.

"Then what are you guys talking about."

Harry looked at me.

"I had a nightmare and Harry comforted me and I did not get a chance to thank him."

"Is that it?" Ginny wiped away the tears that lingered on her cheek.

"Yup."

I could fell Harry's hand go against my back as it finally rested on my side.

A/N: I am so glad this week is over. It has been so stressful. Now I can sit here, listen to my music and type. Since we all know that is what I want to do. But since this sudden heat wave I have been too tired to do anything really and my wrist hurt from yoga yesterday. So yeah. I hope you guys liked this chapter. I have good news. I am writing a new Harry Potter story. So once it is complete I will put it up. It will be a Harry Potter Musical. Sounds fun huh? Don't worry there is actually a plot. I am working hard on it so I hope it is good. I guess I will talk to you all later!
