Meetings
When Hermione woke she realised that she had slept for at least 5 hours. It was about 1:00. She had had the weirdest dream. She was with her dream guy and he didn't speak or do anything thing he just stood there. She found this odd and judging by her surroundings it looked like she was in the room of requirement. Her dream guy was just about to speak and them she woke up. It was really strange.
She sighed and got up. As she did she dug into her pockets to find that note. It wasn't there! She started to panic because she didn't want to let anyone know she was meeting someone. Hermione started to retrace her steps and so she walked back into the common room and there by the coffee table was her note!
She breathed a sigh of relief that she had found it. Hermione looked around and saw that Draco wasn't around. 'Good' she thought 'at least he didn't read it'. Hermione didn't know why but she wanted to keep this to herself it was strange, it made her feel special, someone actually wanted to talk to her and it didn't seem like this person wanted to talk to her about homework.
Hermione felt hungry so she walked out of the common room and to the great hall for some late lunch.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco left the note on the floor and decided to read some more, since his book was pretty interesting. So he sat down on the sofa again and began to read.
Quite a few hours had passed before Draco stopped reading. He still hadn't finished the book, but he still found it interesting and he was still learning more facts. His stomach rumbled to inform him that it was time for lunch. Draco looked at his watch and saw it was 12:00. He got up and walked out of the wall concealing the common room and went down to lunch.
He was gone about half an hour before he came back. He had brought a few slices of toast back to munch on as he read some more of his healing book. He read until his toast was gone which was a surprisingly short time. Draco yawned loudly and suddenly felt so tired, he looked at his watch and it was about 12:45 so he decided to have a quick nap before doing anything else, he stumbled over to his room and flung himself on the bed and was asleep almost straight away.
When he awoke it was about 4:50. He quickly stood up and then remembered that he was going to follow Hermione to see who she was meeting. He had had a weird dream. He was standing in what looked like the room of requirement and he was standing opposite what looked like Hermione and he was about to say something to her and then she vanished it was weird. Then the remainder of the dream was about he old friend Andre who had tragically died at the beginning of year 6.
Draco kept having nightmares about him, Andre was a shape shifter and could change into what ever he wanted. Draco kept having nightmares where Andre kept saying that it was Draco's fault that Andre had died and Andre kept changing into gross, unimaginable things, this dream terrified Draco.
Draco was thinking all of this while he went into his trunk and got out his invisibility cloak that he had gotten from his father just before he went to Azkaban. Draco put it on and disappeared from view. When he was sure that he couldn't be seen he quickly walked to the room of requirement trying to be quick but keep silent.
As he got onto the floor he saw Hermione outside the room pacing backwards and forwards trying to make the room appear. Here was Draco's chance to slip in undetected. He ran stealthily up to her and stood right behind her waiting for the door to appear.
The minutes ticked slowly by and Hermione was on the verge of going back because she thought it was some prank. Then finally the door appeared and Hermione quickly smiled as she stepped into the room with Draco close on her heels.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione was so excited she was going to meet the person who had sent her the letter. She had read most of the day after she had woken up and eaten, just to pass the time but now it was time and she was walking through the door to meet the mystery person.
As she walked into the room the door slammed shut. As it did a boy stepped out of the shadows on the other side of the room. He was the fittest guy Hermione had ever seen . . . well maybe apart from Draco. But this guy filled her with awe and he was cute, he wore a cheeky smile on his face when he saw her jump at the sound of the door slamming. She smiled at him.
"I got your note" She stated nervously. He smiled even more when she said this but still didn't say a word. "So . . . will you tell me your name so I can at least know who I am meeting with." Hermione asked. He was looking Hermione up and down, and Hermione thought that pretty creepy.
"Certainly" He said "My name is Andre . . . Andre Snohtyp (A/N: His last name is pronounced: Snow-type)" He extended his hand for her to take which she did. But he didn't shake it he slowly bowed down slightly and brought her hand to his lips "and of course I know that you are Hermione Granger" He smiled as he said this while putting her hand back at her side while she blushed. No one had treated her like that before.
"I also know that you are not some mudblood filth as most people seem to think" He watched her with amused eyes as she gasped at his knowledge of her. They had slowly without realising it walked more to the centre of the room away from the door.
"And how do you know that Andre Snohtyp?" She asked him with some amusement. Before he could answer though they both heard a gasp coming from the other side of the room. Andre whipped out his wand and looked at the place where they had heard the noise through narrowed eyes.
Hermione too got out her wand and together the slowly approached the noise. Without warning Andre started to blast anything in front of him with the stunning spell. They heard a moan and a thud of something heavy falling to the floor. An evil grin spread across Andres face as again they crept on waiting to see who was in the room with them.
Hermione had never noticed it before but the room of requirement had no lights in it apart from the bright full moon shining in through the wall length window, the room was nicely decorated with moon and stars, Hermione looked at them and smiled. "The moon and the stars are my favourite things" She thought to her self.
"I know!" Andre told her. She looked at him with an open mouth. "Reading minds is kinda my thing" He told her. She nodded her head.
"Well could you not do it please? It kinda makes me nervous" She added a nervous laugh.
"Of course" he replied "Now lets try and find our mystery visitor!" Slowly they searched the ground for any signs of another person but amazingly they couldn't find anyone. After about 10 minutes searching they stopped looking, because it was getting kind of hopeless.
"Do you think you could tell me how you know who I am? It's just I've only told a few people so I don't see how you could know" She looked into his eyes just to see if there was anything there to give her a clue whether this was all some huge big joke. But all she found was serious eyes peering back at her.
For awhile it seemed like he was doing some very quick thinking because he didn't answer straight away. After a while he spoke very cautiously and slowly as if trying to get the words right. "Well obviously I can read minds right?" She nodded "Well what if I told you that just as you were walking into this room you were thinking about who you were and I sort of well . . . listened in" He ended sheepishly.
She smiled at him then. "that's ok, but just keep it to yourself right?" He nodded in agreement. "So what exactly did you want to talk to me about . . . or was this it?" She asked, while wondering how long she had been there.
"About half an hour. Don't worry no one will miss you yet!" He gave her a slow chilling grin. "Oops! I wasn't supposed to do that was I?" He gave her his sheepish grin. "And yes that was about it. I just wanted to tell you I know who you are and I will be there if you need me. Just come to this room and think the exact same thoughts as you did tonight. You could stay longer, if you wanted?"
Hermione was going to say no straight away and leave. But there was another part of her that was changing and that longed to be dangerous and know what it was like to play unsafe that part wanted to stay. But at the moment her unchanged part was winning.
"Erm . . . no I should get back though I will keep the offer in mind . . . night!" So Hermione left the room. Things were a bit dazed and it was a blur getting to her room. But she got to the wall and said the password. As she stepped into the common room she saw Draco on the sofa reading a book.
"Where have you been?" He asked. She looked down and replied.
"Err . . . well you see I got this note from someone wanting to see me, and I went to see who that person was, he was nice enough and he just wanted to talk to me about . . . homework, that's it he wanted to talk to me about homework" Hermione finished speaking and bowed her head even more, letting her hair cover her face. She didn't know why she was lying slightly but she just had a feeling that he might get upset. She didn't know why he would but she had a feeling that Draco was the jealous type of guy. She just wanted to protect him, did that mean that she liked him or . . . did he like her, she was confused.
"Well can I at least know this guys name?" Draco inquired.
"Who said it was a he?" Hermione answered looking up.
"You did, you said 'he wanted to talk to me about homework' so what's his name?" Draco replied while looking at her and keeping eye contact.
Hermione didn't see anything wrong with telling him "His name is Andre Snohtyp"
"Right" Draco replied and all the while they were just there looking at one another, as if there was an agreement to stay silent.
~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~
After Hermione had walked into the room of requirement Draco stealthily tiptoed to the other side of the room. He just wanted to make sure that she would be safe and he be there for her if anything had happened. He had just come to realise that he did care for her quite a bit even if he wouldn't admit it to himself just yet. He liked seeing her everyday, he didn't know it but he did feel happier when she was around.
So Draco stood in a dark corner while he watched the door slam and Hermione jump in surprise. He saw some one step out of the shadows and Hermione speak to him. He couldn't really catch what they were saying because they were still standing by the door. Though he could still see all their actions.
He saw the boy talk to her back he couldn't see him very well because from Draco's position the boys face was in shadow. He saw him extend his hand and Hermione extend hers, he saw him take Hermione's hand and bow down to kiss it. Draco felt a hot flush of envy and anger towards the guy and even more so when he saw Hermione blush and the way he kept smiling at her.
They were drawing into the centre of the room as they were speaking and they were now close enough to let Draco hear what they were saying. Though he still couldn't see the mystery guys face.
". . . not some mudblood filth as most people seem to think" Draco looked up at the guy in surprise, how had he known that, his voice was seeming ever more familiar to Draco he just couldn't place it.
"And how do you know that Andre Snohtyp?" Draco gasped when he heard the name. No it couldn't be, he was dead, he had to be dead! Unfortunately they had heard him, and at last he could see Andre's face. It was just how he had remembered it, though it was the first time Draco had seen him look at something through narrowed eyes.
Draco panicked they were coming towards him, he was trapped, they had their wands out and they were steadily coming closer! They were going to catch him! Without warning though Andre started blasting things in front of him with the stunning spell, Draco saw his chance of escape and took it, he moaned loudly and fell with a thump to the floor.
He then started crawling on his hands and knees to the other side of the room slowly and silently because he could slip past them now. He saw Andre's evil grin and didn't like it.
The next half an hour passed, and Draco learnt that Andre could read minds, and Draco didn't believe for one second that Andre had read Hermione's mind and that's how he knew what she really was, though Hermione seemed to believe it.
Draco's blood started boiling when he heard that Andre had only asked Hermione to come so that he could basically introduce himself to her in a non-obvious way, and he wanted her to stay longer as well. Andre was hitting on his girl! Well Hermione didn't know that she was Draco's girl yet but Draco didn't worry about that. He saw her hesitate and then answer 'no'. Draco was glad of this and Draco ran out stealthily straight after her.
Hermione started walking slowly in the direction of their common room. So Draco took this opportunity to rush past her and make it look like he had been there all the time. He rushed around the corridors until he got to the wall. He said the password and quickly ran into his room and flung the invisibility cloak in his trunk, he grabbed a book and ran and jumped onto the sofa.
He only had wait about 5 minutes until Hermione came in. He asked her where she had been, he looked dismayed when he saw her look down and answer him, he wondered why she was lying slightly, but then again she didn't know he was there the whole time, at least she was telling the truth about Andre's name. then they were just staring at each other.
It was then when Draco decided that he needed to show Hermione how much she meant to him, and that he would like her to be his girl. Oh yes he would show her.
