WE CAN LIVE LIKE JACK AND SALLY IF WE WANT

Hermione tossed and turned for the rest of the night and at 600am she got up and went out to the common room to read a book. She kept looking at Draco's door and thinking about Voldemort. Frustrated, she gotup and went to his door. She knocked and said,"Draco, please wake up, I need to talk to you about my dream."

His door cracked slightly and Hermione heard some familiar music playing in the boackground.

"I know this song, some American band isn't it?" she asked.

"Yeah, Limp Bizkit, I found it in a muggle store in London. It's my favorite song."

Hermione giggled at the name of the band.

"but my dreams, they aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be"

She just sat there listening for a moment wondering why Draco would like this song. This song was beautiful and sweet, almost soothing as the man sung.

"Do you like it, Hermione?"

"Yes, its very beautiful just like your eyes." It came flying out of her mouth before she could stop it.

"What???" asked Draco as he turned to look at her.

"I'm sorry, that came out wrong-the song talks about blue eyes, that's all I meant." she whispered.

"The muggle music was one of the things I liked most about London. This song especially helped me to understand what I was really put on this earth to do. I wasn't meant to kill. All my like I have been taught to hate muggles and their ways because they supposeably forced magic underground but now I'm not so sure. I have reread some of our History of Magic books and discovered that most everything I have been taught was either twisted or a flat out fabrication. There has always been a seperation between the muggle world and magic and even back in Salazar Slytherin's days the two worlds co-existed just fine. I t was the purist that began to ruin the arrangement because they didn't want anyone contaminating the gene pool. Then along comes the Dark Lord with gifts beyond most people's imagination but instead of pioneering the wizarding world into the next millenium, he goes on a killing spree in search of the ultimate power and madness."

"A..well...Mal-I mean Draco, it sounds like you've really done your research. But before I fell to sleep I was thinking about Sirius and what you wanted to do. First, we can't use Dark magic-he could come back evil. Second, Harry doesn't need a bribe to help you..if you told him what you've just told me I feel sure he would help you if he could. Lastly, I think the man from my dream was Voldemort."

Draco sat there for a minute just listening to the music trying to find the strength within himself to tell her what she needed to know. "The dream you had sounds like an empowering ritual which is used to help the Dark Lord regain all his lost power and more. If a witch or wizard has a gift, such as a seer, than that power can be transferred to another along with their lifeforce. My guess is that he's trying to empower himself to ge the upper hand on Harry."

"Please tell Dumbledore, Draco. He can help you, your mother and all of us." begged Hermione.

"You don't understand. Even with all of Dumbledore's powers, Harry is the only one who can defeat the Dark Lord. But he is young and still has lots to learn. My father and all the Deatheaters know that if Harry is allowed to finish school he would be to great an adversary for the Dark Lord. Soon the Dark Lord will strike and Harry will be all of our only hope for a free future. I could help in the fight but it would have to be a secret. Please understand that all I want is a normal life. A life without fear of unforgiveable curses and senseless killing. Sometimes, I even ask for a muggle life. You know-like Jack and Sally Nobody, working 9 to 5, paying bills, having kids and taking holidays to wherever. A life without lies and hooded figures in the shadows. Can you try to help me have that?" ventured Draco.

"Yes, Draco, I will help you if I can and when it's time to telly Harry and the others just let me know. Oh, Draco, can you answer something for me?"

"Ask away-" he replied.

"Is this song supposed to be about you?"

"With any luck, yes." he admitted.

"If you ever need someone to talk to feel free to come to me and don't worry if you have to mean to me around the others I understand and will try not to be offended." she said and then turned around to leave.

"Hermione?" he called after her.

She turned back around and said,"Yes?"

"Your eyes are beautiful too." he confessed and gave her a smile that made her blush as red as the colors for Gryffindor.

In spite of their tiredness, Draco and Hermione went to their first class with the satisfaction of having found a new friend and alli under a cloak of secrecy. Oh, how the world is full of suprises and possibilites.....
