Another chapter today! I'm all proud of myself. Well, I will be if I get it finished. But I'm not going to bed til I do. Now, I had this chapter all planned, then I changed the name of the book, so I have to rewrite parts of it. Enjoy!

Chapter 14

'Summer' Reading

Draco woke up when he felt someone looking at him. His wand was pulled and a curse was on his lips when he realized where he was and who his wand was pointed at. Hermione's eyes were wide as saucers. He put his wand away in his sleeve and sat back.

"Sorry Hermione. I don't wake up well."

"I-it's ok. Don't worry about it." She looked away from me for a second, then looked back. "Umm, who are you?" She looked embarrassed. I smiled.

"I'm Antonio, remember?"

"No, but I'll take your word for it. So why are you here?" She seemed curious, something I wasn't used to from her, at least not to me. "Have you been here before? I feel like you have, but I don't know why." She sounded funny, as if talking to me from a dream. Then, she shook her head and looked at me again. "What are you doing?"

"Well, in response to your first question, I'm keeping you company. The second, yes, I have been here before. Multiple times. And to the third, I'm reading the book for our muggle studies class." She took a moment to process this information then threw more questions at me.

"What is it called and what are muggle studies? And what the hell are muggles?" I rolled my eyes then started explaining.

"It's called Armageddon Summer, muggle studies is one of the many classes you're taking at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and muggles are non-magic folk."  She looked at me like I had four heads. "You're a witch, Hermione."

"Oh."

"Yeah. Any more questions?"

"Yes, one. Can you read the book to me? It sounds familiar, but I'm not sure why."

"Yeah. Where do you want me to start?"

"The beginning."

"All right." I flipped to the start of the book and started reading. "Chapter one, Marina. It all began at dinner one night last fall, when Mom announced, right after grace, "I've had a revelation." I read to her for over an hour when I finally looked up. She was sound asleep, face to me and a small smile graced her lips. I smiled over at her, then got up and headed to the Great Hall for breakfast.
