A/N: Ok so as usual I will have my replies to the reviews at the end. And have you all heard the news? The next HP book – Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince is out on the 16th July 2005. I can not wait. Anyways on with the story

Chapter 5

Once Hermione was in the safe confines of her dorm room she sat on her bed and opened the letter.

Dear Hermione

Thank you for replying to my letter I didn't know if you would or not. I understand that it is weird just writing to someone you don't know the name of so you can call me Dragon.

I noticed a few things about you the other day, things that only someone falling in love would notice. Like when you are concentrating you stick out your tongue and slowly glide it across your bottom lip or that when are thinking of something or someone you put your fingers through your hair.

It is when I noticed these things that I realised that I was falling in love with you, I have been trying to deny these feelings since I saw you in the fourth year at the Yule Ball. You looked amazing that night and that is when I felt something for you other than what my feelings already were.

I am not sure why I am writing letters to you maybe it is to let you know how I feel about you, and you can get to know the real me without judging the me that you know.

I hope to get a reply soon

Yours Always

Dragon

'Wow… just wow' that was the only thing that Hermione could think of. How could anyone feel like that? Especially for her? It took Hermione quite a long time before she could think of a response for it then she did.

Dearest Dragon

(Draco is now reading the letter out loud in his dorm)

I didn't quite know that what to say right now to be honest I am a little shocked that someone could have those feelings for me.

I am willing to keep writing to you and getting to know you in the hope that one day you well have the confidence to tell me who you are.

In your first letter you mention that you woke up from a dream sweating. I also have the same problem. I find myself dreaming of the same thing almost every night. I am running down a corridor towards something that my heart wants more than anything else, I know that because I can feel it. I can feel my heart pounding faster and faster as I get closer to the thing I desire the most. But I always wake up before I can open the door. I do not know what it means but I know that if you have a reoccurring dream it is best to try and decipher it. However when I went to get a book out on deciphering dreams but the last one was taken by non other than Draco Malfoy.

It's just like him to take the thing I need the most away from me.

I am telling you this in confidence and I hope that you do not tell anyone of this dream.

I hope to get a reply from you soon

Always Thinking

Hermione

No one knows how much he had changed from last year, because he didn't have a friendship close enough to anyone to tell them what had happened. He had no one to tell.

The reason he had changed was because he no longer idolised his father. He witnessed his father murder his mother Narcissa because she had told Lucius that she didn't want Draco to become a Death Eater. She had said that he was worth more than the life of a Death Eater. Narcissa knew that Voldermort would fall eventually at the hands of Dumbledore and Harry Potter and she didn't want her only son to be dragged down with him, and for saying that Lucius had performed the Avada Kedavra curse on her killing her instantly and making sure that Draco had seen it.

That event had changed him instantly. Draco knew that Malfoy's didn't love, but he did, he loved his mother she was the only one who cared for him. She had kept him safe when Lucius decided that he needed to be punished for no reason at all, other than the fact that Draco had always asked questions when he was younger. Of course when he got older he realised that asking questions would get him a beating so he never asked questions.

Draco folded the letter and put in his drawer along with the first reply he had gotten from Hermione. He would have to think about what to write in return. He knew that Hermione was a smart girl, well she was starting to grow into a beautiful and smart young lady actually, but all the same he knew that if he slipped up on a clue of what his real identity was she would figure it out and he was scared of what she would do when she found out.

So he decided to get his homework done first then that would give him until the next morning to write a reply to her, he knew that if he wanted any girl in the school he could get her. He wasn't vain but he knew that he was easily the best looking guy at the school. He had worked out a lot during the summer it was his way of relieving his anger of what his father had done. So now he had muscles and had rock hard abs he also had a certain charm and he was very smooth when it came to talking to the ladies that's how he knew he could get any girl he wanted. Actually many of the Slytherin girls had already threw themselves at his feet already and the same goes for the girls in Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. But he also knew that none of them compared to Hermione. No one had her intelligence, her wit, her smile, her figure or in fact any part of her, she was totally unique and some how Draco knew that they were perfect for each other. Each others better half, each others sun and moon or at least she was.

She was the sun that brightened his darker hours, she was the moon that shone brightly and made the darkness look beautiful and peaceful she was his everything but the only problem was that she didn't know he felt like this, she knew how Dragon felt. He was sure that if she knew it was him, Draco Malfoy the Slytherin she would probably laugh in his face and turn him down but he couldn't help how he felt he had tried to deny it for so long but now he somehow broke and couldn't hold in his feelings any longer.

A/N: Ok I hope you liked this chapter it tells you basically how Draco feels and it also explains his sudden change in character.

Evie Malfoy: I agree it is some how unbelievable that she doesn't know straight away who it is but that's the thing. People always say you spend a long time searching for the one when the one is right under your nose I think that applies to this fic. Thanks for reviewing.

Etcies: I am happy that you have no complaints so far I just hope that you have no complaints about this chapter

Random gal: Thanks I hope it turns out to be a great story. I hope that you liked this chapter and as always keep reviewing
