"I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you" – Oprah Winfrey

Chapter 6

The homework that night was difficult even by Hermione's standards. So, inevitably, Ron and Harry came in search of Hermione. They had hunted around the library and she wasn't there. They had been to the heads common room, but the portrait told them that she wasn't in there and that they couldn't enter without one of the heads permission.

They didn't know where else to look, until they looked out of the window by chance and saw her sitting by the lake, reading a book.

They made their way out towards her, but when they reached her, they noticed that she had fallen asleep. They were just about to walk away when Hermione started to mumble in her sleep.

"…hmmm…. Draco… don't… not here… someone will see us…" She shifted and the book fell from her lap to the floor with a thud. The noise immediately woke her. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and looked up, to see her two very confused best friends staring at her.

"What? What are you two staring at? If you want help with your homework you will have to go to the library. I am not going to spend this year doing your homework for you."

Neither of them said anything, they just stared at her in disbelief, Hermione got angry with them. "Are you just going to stare at me? Or are you going to tell me what you are staring at? Well?"

Harry was the first to speak "Err… 'Mione? What were you dreaming about?"

Ron let out a stifled grunt. Hermione looked at them curiously. She of course knew what she was dreaming about. It was the same thing she had been dreaming about since two weeks ago, when she had seen Draco naked. She had been dreaming about him, Draco.

"Nothing, why do you ask?" She looked up at Harry, but it was Ron who spoke this time.

"We heard you mumbling in your sleep. You were talking about… um… about … Malfoy"

Hermione stood up so quickly that it shocked Harry and Ron. She was angry, she wasn't sure why. Maybe it was because she had been hiding her feelings for two weeks now. Although she wasn't sure what her feelings were exactly, she knew that she didn't want Harry and Ron to know. They would go mental if they knew she had seen him naked. Or did they know? What exactly did they hear? "Whatever you think you heard, you're wrong. I was not dreaming about that slimy git. I was dreaming about that Transfiguration essay we have to do" Of course it was a downright lie but who would suspect that it was? Everyone knew that she loved to work and loved to study. So her dreaming about it wouldn't seem too unusual, would it?

Harry and Ron looked at each other; both knowing that Hermione was lying but by the look on her face, they didn't want to get her any angrier.

"Ok," they said together "so will you help us with our homework Hermione? Please? It is so hard. Please?"

Hermione's anger subsided a little. "I will not do it for you. BUT, I will look at it once you are finished, ok?"

They both knew that if they had made any mistakes that Hermione would sort it for them, so they nodded.

The Golden Trio finally headed back up to the castle.

Hermione had spent most of the weekend avoiding Draco. Helping Harry and Ron with their homework helped with that, until Sunday night. She walked into the heads common room, to find Draco shirtless lying asleep on the couch. He had obviously just taken a shower because his hair was wet and was lying in his eyes.

She just stood there, looking at him, watching him sleep. She was mesmerised by the way his chest rose and fell as he breathed, and how he looked so peaceful and angelic like. She was about to get lost in him sleeping, but then he moved.

He opened his eyes and looked at the Gryffindor watching him. She looked shocked that he had woken up and embarrassed that he had caught her watching him sleep.

He got up of the couch and slowly walked over to her. She walked backwards until her back hit the wall. She looked into his bluish grey eyes and could see that his eyes had darkened. He put his hand on the wall beside her head and leant on it to support his weight. He continued to look into her eyes, never breaking contact.

He brought his free hand up to her face, traced her lips with his thumb and then moved his hand down to her neck and down her arm to her hands, giving her shivers at every touch.

He leaned in to her so that she could feel his breath was on her cheek, she closed her eyes thinking he was about to kiss her when… "I know you've been dreaming about me Granger. I hear you mumble my name every night, and one of these days I will hear you scream it, when you are lying beneath me."

When Hermione opened her eyes she saw that Draco had begun to walk back to his dorm room "What makes you think that I would want to sleep with you Malfoy?" She said, in what she hoped was a calm voice.

Draco turned around to look at her and smirked. "I hear everything Granger; I hear your moans and pleas when you sleep. I know what you dream, I know what you want. I know that you want me. You're either too scared or just too weak to try and get it"

Hermione had heard enough. She walked up to Draco and pushed him up against the wall "Let me tell you this Malfoy. I am not scared or weak. Nor do I want you in bed. If I did want you in my bed, I would have you in my bed do you understand?"

With that she left to her dorm room, leaving Draco standing against the wall in shock of Hermione's little speech.

Draco shook his head and went to his dorm room. He would have to think of a way to get back at Hermione for her little speech, but for now, he needed a shower.

When he got to his room, he stripped himself of his clothes and reached for a towel and wrapped it around his waist.

He opened the door and to his surprise Hermione was also standing at her bathroom door staring back at him.

Draco smirked "Thought you would try and get another look Granger?"

Hermione immediately looked at him "No, I would rather not have a second look, thank you, I just came in here for a bath but it seems you were about to have one so I will go to the prefects bathroom. Goodbye."

She walked out of the bathroom closing her door and picked up a change of clothes and headed to the prefects bathroom. She would normally put her clothes back on but seeming as the prefects' bathroom was only two portraits away she didn't bother.

Draco smirked knowing that Hermione wanted him; he didn't want her, well not exactly. He could get any girl in Hogwarts he wanted, even her. But he loved a challenge, and she would definitely be a challenge. He got in the shower thinking of ways to get her into bed. He knew it wouldn't take too much convincing on his part. He had, after all, heard her at night, when she dreamt about him.

Hermione woke up, to Crookshanks sitting on the end of her bed.

"Good morning."

She stretched and soon realised that Draco was leaning on her door frame. "Were you watching me sleep Malfoy?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No. I just thought I'd wake you up considering it is nearly time for potions, and I am sure a little bookworm like you wouldn't want to miss lessons"

He then walked out away leaving her door wide open.

Hermione immediately felt like a stone had been dropped into the pit of her stomach. Today was the day they had to test the Veritaserum on each other. She knew exactly the questions Draco would ask and that made her, for the first time in her life, dread going to a lesson. She would just have to get him to take the potion first.

Hermione got up and dressed and headed to potions. She was too late to get breakfast and to be honest she wasn't all that hungry. She was way too nervous to eat anyway.

Once she got into the room, she immediately took her seat next to Draco.

Snape then breezed in silencing the room as always, with his cloak billowing behind him and a look on his face that Hermione was sure had been hexed to stay that way.

"As you may or may not know, it has been a month since we began brewing the Veritaserum, and now it is time to test it. You will be tested in your pairs. Once you have tested it and I am satisfied that it worked correctly, you will be making notes from your text book on the next potion that we will be concocting. Now if you will come and get you're vials, we will begin."

As usual, Draco made no effort to get up so Hermione went to get the vile.

When Hermione returned to her seat, she saw that Draco was smirking at her and she knew why. He was going to ask her what she dreamt about in front of the whole class.

Snape interrupted her thoughts "Right, I will call you into my office in your pairs, and you will use the potions on each other. Mr Potter and Mr Goyle first"

Harry and Goyle appeared a few minutes later with Harry smiling and Goyle looking angry.

Harry looked at Hermione and seeing the look of curiosity on her face he shook his head and gave her a look that told her 'I'll tell you later'

A few other couples were called and then "Mr Malfoy and Miss Granger in my office now."

Hermione had been dreading this. She stood up and walked into Snape's office with Draco at her heels.

She entered the office and sat on one of the chairs, with Draco on the one next to her. "Mr Malfoy, please give me your vile."

Draco handed over the vile and looked over at Hermione and smirked. Hermione watched as Snape split the potion into two different beakers.

"Miss Granger you're up first."

Hermione gulped and took the beaker from Snape, and drank it in one swallow. She immediately felt light. Like her mind was a complete blank, and she liked it. With the amount of thoughts that had been swivelling around her head the past few weeks, this feeling of blankness was refreshing.

"Now Miss Granger, you will answer three questions from Mr Malfoy. Mr Malfoy, go ahead and ask your three questions"
