Recap CH. 23

"It's ok I'll just try to get them done quickly so I can go to sleep early" Hermione said. She couldn't stop thinking about Draco and the baby that they were going to have together. Hermione already decided on a name trying to match his father's name, his name would be Dominic William Malfoy. 'Draco would have been so happy with that name' Hermione thought to herself. As she said this thought she looked over at Draco. She saw him turning and looking in all directions, she saw him asking Zambini a question and him shaking his head towards Draco. Hermione couldn't figure out what he was doing until she remember that they were linked telepathically. A light bulb just went off in Hermione's head.

"Maybe there is a way to save him" she said to herself. Leaving on that thought she bid her friends farewell and headed off towards detention.

Chapter 24: The Dream

Disclaimer: Own nothing but plot

Hermione just got back from detention and she wasn't one bit exhausted, Snape made her cleanout his cupboards and made her alphabetize all the potions and ingredients. She sat down in a chair and used her powers to do everything and was finished within in hour. Snape gave her a grunt telling her that she could go and she left. When Hermione returned to the common room, she didn't see Draco in the common room and assumed that he was already in bed. Her plan had to be put into action tonight since it would take some time to work, if it did work. Hermione walked up stairs and went into her room. She changed out of her school uniform and into her pj's. She laid down in bed and concentrated hard on what she wanted to be in Draco's dream. As she concentrated she fell into a subconscious and entered Draco's mind.

Draco's dream

Draco was walking around the school lake thinking to himself. He always came here because it was peaceful, calm, and serene. It was in a distant from what his destiny was. He sat there staring at the lake when a white light was erupting from the middle of the lake. He stood up to get a closer look from where the light was coming from. All of a sudden out of the light came a beautiful women in white robes, like the ones the gods wear, her dirty blonde hair was pinned up and curls were cascading down her back. The girl had a sense a familar to her, but he just dismissed it. He tried to use his powers to freeze her from coming closer but she just deflected it with her hand. Draco was awstruck by the girl when she finally stood in front of him face to face.

"Who are you?" Draco asked in awe. He was captured by the girls grace and beauty. She just smiled at him and held her hand out for him to take it. He looked at it with intent and finally took it.

'I am a goddess, dear son of Posiden' she said mentally to him. Draco gave her a startled look.

"How do you know who I am? And who are you? which goddesss are you?" Draco asked. The girl just smiled at him again and continued to walk down the trail around the lake hand in hand with Draco.

'I am the daughter of Athena, your soulmate, I am here to help you, you are going down a very dangerous path, one that will lead you to your destruction' she mentally said seriously. (A/N: Does that make sense?) Draco stopped in mid stride and turned to look at her, this is what the prophesy said about him and his soulmate the daughter of Athena, but why come now and not sooner?

"You are not her, you play tricks with my mind, to try and sway me to the light, wellI will not be swayed by someone who "claims" to be my soulmate" Draco said angrily. The goddess turned towards him and frowned.

'Draco open your heart, doesn't something in you beleive that youare good and you have a higher calling then just being evil?' she said mentally. Draco looked at her from looking at the lake.

"How am I supposed to trust you, I've been lied to my whole life, the only one who has ever care for me was Lord Voldemort, he took care of me when my father died and gave me a home and a oppurtunity to the world with him, and you come along out of the blue and tell me that I'm good, well I'm sorry but I'm just not buying it" Draco said as a mtter of factly. The goddess sighed and smiled at him.

'Somebody thinks you good, somebody believes in you, thinks your wonderful, smart,a good person, and above all their in love with you,let them into your life, trust them' The goddess said softly. Draco couldn't believe his ears, somebody believed in him, and loved him but who? Just then the goddess was being surrounded by a white light and she was starting to fade away.

"Who, daughter of Athena, who loves me? Please tell me!" Draco screamed out towards her. The goddess just smiled at him.

'Who does your heart tell you?' and with that she was gone from his dream and left to sit and ponder at the lake.

Hermione snapped back into reality with a jolt. She couldn't believed it worked. She could tell in his heart he wanted to be good, but something was holding him back, like fear of the consiquences of disobeying Voldemort. She couldn't stand it though that her soulmate, was not with her right now comforting her. She would have to work quickly though, the baby would be due in 4 1/2 months, which is when the war would start, the war that decides everything. She laid down in her bed and quickly drifted off into sleep forgetting her troubles and thinking of her future son Dominic.
