Unexpected


Hermione stared at the ceiling, she was lying on a large green canopy bed.

She silently recalled everything that had happened earlier this evening.

While Althea and Deryk left them in the recieving room for a walk. She and Harry had a little chat.

As soon at the kids left, she began to chatter nonstop, like nothing ever happened. She asked him about his life and other things. She had sat next to Harry, but he kept scuttling away from her.

Finally, irritated. She held him still and asked him what's wrong. Harry looked like he was about to faint.

When she shook him and asked him why, he stuttered something about a ghost.

Hermione blushed at the memory, she couldn't believe that she had been so stupid.

She started to explain everything to him. When it was finally getting late, Harry hastily retired. She had a vague feeling that he still doesn't believe her.


Draco popped back into the house, he swayed slightly and hiccupped. His colleagues had forced him to go out drinking.

A house-elf peered out from the banister at the upper landing. The elf popped down to his master.

Funny? Why was the elf dancing? He laughed. Everything started spinning. He felt bile push up his throat.

He placed his hands over his mouth and ran up the stairs and entered the first room to his right.

"No! ---" too late, the elf's sqeaky voice was cut off. He could only pray that the girl was asleep.
Hermione was startled awake when she heard the door open, she sat up and adjusted her eyes to the darkness. The door was open but no one was there.

Sighing, she stood up to close the door, when the bathroom door opened.

She stiffled a cry and slowly backed down towards the closed window, where moonlight was gently streaming in through the little gap between the curtains.
Draco still dizzy, looked around the room.

A figure was standing in a small patch of moonlight. Squinting, he peered into the darkness.

He staggered and swayed towards the figure. He stopped a few inches away from the girl.

He reached up and touched her face. "Hermione?" he choked out.

He gazed at the figure of the angel in front of him.
Hermione froze as she felt him reach up. No, it couldn't be.

Tears started to form. She bit her lip nervously as she watched him lean closer.

She could smell alcohol, as his lips were centimeters away from her.
Draco smirked, he was drunk, he was hallucinating. He pulled back, sneering.

No.

It had been years and Hermione's not coming back. It was another one of his "good dreams".

He slowly backed up, shaking his head, he pointed at the apparition.

"You... you're just a dream, you promised, but you never came back." his lips were quivering as he softly said this.

"You never came back." Crying he back out of the room, leaving the "dream" inside the dark room.
She stared at his crying figure backing out of the room.

"But I'm back...." she said, tears falling from her brown eyes.

"Draco...I'm back," her knees collapsed under her. She fell down to the floor crying herself to sleep.
