A few hours later, Draco woke up to find Hermione asleep in his arms. He moved ever so

carefully so as not to wake her. "Is this real or a dream, "he though aloud. As Hermione

stirred, he sat frozen with fear that he had woken her. Within a few moments she was

and I need a compartment to stay in." "Well, this will be our little secret won't it," Draco

whispered and with that he got up and out of the compartment. As he was walking away a
