The next day Draco went down to breakfast and found Hermione sitting by herself.He looked over at the Slytherin table and noticed Blaise wasn't there yet so he walked over to Hermione.

"Can I speak to you for a minute out in the entrance hall?"

Hermione nodded and followed him out into the hall and then to an empty staircase.

"What do you want?"She asked leaning against the wall.

"I like you Hermione, I always have.I don't care what Blaise says I want to try a relationship with you."

"Why should I believe you?"

"Because I've never wanted a relationship with anyone before.I'm telling the truth."

Hermione nodded "Oksy, but can we keep this between us, and maybe not tell anyone yet.Especially Blaise. I want to show him we can handle this ourselves without him interferring."

"Fine with me. This means I can keep my face longer."

Hermione laughed.Draco then moved in and gave her a passionate kiss on the lips before they both walked back into the Great Hall to finish breakfast.

September 1st

Weeks passed and Hermione and Draco were going strong. Noone knew about thier relatioship which is exactly how they wanted it.Hermione was still having nightmares and they were to the point to where she wasn't sleeping but maybe an hour a night.

Blaise and Draco were both worried about her as were her friends in Gryffindor.

Hermione was sitting in the library when Draco caught up with her.

"Hey can I sit here?"He asked.

Hermione looked up from her Arithmacy book and smiled "I'd be offended if you sat anywhere else."

Draco smiled then leaned down to kiss her before he sat down.

"You look really tired this morning."He said noticing the bags under her eyes.

"I'm still having those nightmares.Plus Blaise is avoiding me. I've only asked him what they mean and it's like he went into hiding.He wont tell me anything, and I know he knows whats going on."

"He's only trying to protect you. If it were important he's tell you."

"You think?"

"I know.I've been his bestfriend forever I know he's tell you if it were life or death."

Hermione nodded then laid her head on Draco's shoulder.

"Come with me."He said grabbing her hand and leading her to the couch in the back of the library.He sat down then pulled Hermione down beside him.He picked up a pillow and layed it on his lap as he put his feet up on the coffee table.He patted the pillow.

"What?"

"Lay down.I'll make sure you don't get disturbed while you sleep for a couple hours."

"You would sit here why I sleep?"

"Of course on."Draco patted the pillows again.Hermione layed her head down and pulled her feet up so she was in a ball on the couch.Draco manovered his cloak off and draped it over her and within minutes they were both out.

Blaise was looking all over the castle for Harry.He had to talk to him, and he had to do it quick.Blaise finally found him in the charms classroom studying.

"I've been looking for you everywhere."

Harry looked up from his textbook."Oh hey Blaise.What's up?"

"I need your advice on something."

"Okay, but why me? Why don't you ask Malfoy?"

"Because he's to busy with my sister.They're going out, and they think they're keeping it secret from me.To bad Draco talks in his sleep.Anyways I'll kill them both later right now I need to talk about something more important.It's about you know who, and who better to talk to then you when it comes to him."

Harry closed his book "Okay what's up?"

"I've been avoiding Hermione because she's been having nightmares about our father taking her away.See when I turned eleven I asked Dad what ever happened to my sister, and he told me that he had to give her away because her life depended on it.Before we found Hermione I was looking through some of Dad's old books and I found out why. There was a prophecy about a female Zambini who would help take Voldemort down.She would have more power then anyone could imagine.I guess they didn't know we were twins because mom said that when she was pregnant with me they made sure I was a boy and then they weren't gonna have anymore kids.Well Hermione and I were born, and I guess noone knew about her so Dad gave her before she could be killed, and before anyone found out.You see now that we have her back and she has her birth name anyone could be after her for the Dark Lord.He's gonna want her dead just as much as you."

"Harry took a second to process this then looked at Blaise "I'm guessing Mione doesn't know, and that's why you came to me."

Blaise nodded.

"I don't know what to tell you Blaise.Hermione needs to know so she can watch her back.Especially if Voldemort found out about her now.Also check on your mom.She may be in danger for hiding the truth even though your dad is already dead.You should also tell Dumbledore, He can protect her better than anyone I know."

"Thanks Harry. I was also thinking about what you said about uniting, and maybe that would be a good idea.Espeacially since Voldemort's getting stronger everyday."

Harry nodded."I'll be there if you want me to when you tell her."

"Thanks but this is something I need to do by myself."

Harry nodded.Blaise left and decided to think things through before he told his sister everything.

Draco woke up and lookde at his watch.They had been asleep for almost 3 hours they missed their afternoon classes and were about to miss dinner.Draco looked down at Hermione and was about to shake her awake, but couldn't bring himself to do it.She looked so peaceful and beautiful sleeping on his lap.He just watched her for a few minutes.He tried to moves is legs a little which proved to be a stupid idea when they started to tingle.

"Hey Mione. We're gonna miss dinner if you don't wake up."

Hermione moaned a little then openned her eyes and snapped awake quick. "Dinner?How long was I out?"

Draco moved his legs to get the feeling back "Almost 3 hours, and don't freak because I accidentally fell asleep too."

"Blaise is gonna freak when he sees us."

"I'll smooth things out with Blaise just go ahead down to dinner, and I'll be there shortly.If he asks you fell asleep in the library, and I'll tell him I was out by the lake all day thinking some things out."

"Okay.I'll see you later."She said giving him a kiss goodbye then grabbing her books and rushing to the Great Hall.

Draco went to the Slytherin Common room before heading down to Dinner.

Hermione entered the great hall and immediatly looked for her brother, but he wasn't there.

"Hey Mione where were you all day?"Ginny asked.

"The Library.I fell asleep."Hermione sat down by her and across from Ron and began to fill her plate.

"You fell asleep?"Ron asked.

Hemione looked at him "Yes I fell asleep.Is that okay?"

"Yeah I'm just surprised.I guess you are human."

"Very funny Ron. I thought you weren't talking to me."

Ron shrugged and went back to eating.

"Ginny have you seen my brother?"

"Nope.Strange though I haven't seen Harry either."

Hermione thought that was strange.She noticed someone coming in, and saw Draco.

He looked at her and smiled before sitting at his table.

"So Mione when were you gonna tell me about you and Malfoy?"Ginny asked.

"Huh?"

"Oh please, it's so obvious."

"Is it really?Do you think Blaise noticed?"

Ginny shrugged.Hermione pulled her attention back to her plate and they ate in silence.

Harry was talking to Dumbledore with Blaise that evening and the man never looked so old.

"I had heard of that prophecy, but I never heard of who it pertained to.Your sister is going to be in immediate danger, and so will your mother. I'll move her immediatly to safty."

"Thank you Professor, but what about my sister?"

"She'll be safe here.She does need to know what is going on though."

Blaise looked down "I'll tell her when the time is right."

Harry looked at Blaise "Hermione'll figure it out.She's to smart."

"I'll tell her!"

Blaise then got up, and left to go to bed.
