"Hey," said Hermione when Draco came back.

"Hey," said Draco. "well, it's late. Goodnight," Draco kissed her on the cheek and went to his room. He lay on his bed, not one bit tired. He had a lot on his mind.

Hermione, on the other hand, was extremely tired when she finally went to bed at two. She was studying for her N.E.W.Ts in June. It was only March; she could slap herself for not studying earlier. When she finally did go to sleep, she had a very weird dream.

She was running through the woods. No, that wasn't right, it was the Forbidden Forest. She was running from someone, but who? She only saw him a couple times. Lucius Malfoy, that's who it was. He was holding a gun. A gun? Someone like him wouldn't even touch a muggle weapon. Then, he shot her in her leg; he didn't have very good aim.

Hermione shot up. She woke up from the pain in her leg, she rubbed it. It was stinging, in the same spot where Lucius had shot her in her dream. She held her wand near her leg and muttered "Lumos". Her leg was perfectly fine, except for the fact that is was tingling. She put her wand down and got back in bed and fell asleep. For the rest the night, she had a dreamless night.

"What time did you go to bed?" Draco asked that morning at breakfast.

"Two," said Hermione. She decided not to tell Draco about her dream. She was just being stupid.

"Two? What were you doing?" asked Draco.

"Studying for our N.E.W.Ts," said Hermione.

"Oh," said Draco. He should of known.

"Mr. Malfoy, come here, I need to talk to you," said Professor Snape.

"Umm... ok," said Draco. He got up and they walked into a chamber on the side of the hall. "What is it professor."

"So, you know what your prophecy said, yes?" asked Snape.

"Yes, I do," said Draco.

"Have you told her yet?" asked Snape.

"Told who, what?" asked Draco.

"Have you told Miss Granger that you're Voldemort's heir?" whispered Snape.

Draco looked down. "No."

"Why not? She's going to find out sooner or later. The better if you tell her, not someone else," said Snape.

"I'm afraid," said Draco, his head still down.

"Of what Mr. Malfoy?" asked Snape.

"I'm afraid that if she knew, she'd leave," Draco turned around so he was facing the wall not Snape.

"She won't leave you," said Snape.

"How do you know?" asked Draco. He turned to face him as he said it.

"Because, she loves you," said Snape. 'Ok, this is very weird coming from Snape,' thought Draco.

"How do you know that?" asked Draco.

"It's in her eyes," said Snape. "Anyone can tell. The whole staff can tell."

"I'll tell her when I'm ready," Draco said as he turned to leave.

"What if that's to late?" asked Snape. Draco stopped and glared back at Snape. Snape held his gaze before Draco turned to leave.

"What was that about?" asked Hermione when he sat back down.

"Nothing, just about my low grade," lied Draco.

"Oh," said Hermione.

As the days flew by, Hermione's nightmare condition worsened. Now you can actually see when the cut, or whatever, was.

Draco woke up one night around three. He heard something in Hermione's room. He hurriedly got out of bed and went to her room. She was twisting and turning in her bed, yelling, no! no! no! over and over again. He went over to her. Something caught his attention on her arm, it was a deep cut. Then another appeared and another. By this time she was screaming, but still asleep. Harry and Ron came down.

"Why is she screaming?" asked Ron.

"I-I don't know, but something is very wrong," said Draco. He picked Hermione up and ran to the headmaster's office. Harry and Ron got a glimpse of Hermione and ran after.

"Dumbledore! Dumbledore!" yelled Draco.

"What is it Mr. Malfoy?" asked a very shocked headmaster.

"It's Hermione, I-I don't know what's wrong," said Draco.

"Dumbledore's eyes widened. "Take her to the hospital wing. Hurry!" Draco, followed by Harry, Ron, and Dumbledore ran to the hospital wing. Dumbledore banged on Madam Pomfrey door.

"Poppy, come here quickly," said Dumbledore.

"What is it, headmaster?" asked Madam Pomfrey.

"Miss Granger," said Dumbledore. He her led to Hermione's bed.

Hermione had woken up when Dumbledore pounded on Madam Pomfrey's door. The weird thing was that she didn't scream in pain after she woken up.

"Doesn't it hurt?" asked Madam Pomfrey.

"No," said Hermione. Draco's eyes flickered left to right. He was searching his mind for something.

"Realism Nightmarium," Draco muttered.

"What?" asked Harry.

"It's a curse. Dark Magic. I read it in one of my father's books. When hit by it, you'll start to have nightmares of yourself getting badly injured about a week after the hit. First, you have dream and you feel a sting. Then, it'll show a scar. Finally, you get the actual injury, but you can't feel it, unless you are sleeping." while Draco said this, Madam Pomfrey busied herself on Hermione. Draco turned to Hermione. "When did you start having these dreams?"

"A couple weeks ago," said Hermione. "About a week after the attack with Nott." She said slowly. "That must have been the curse he hit me with."

"It's a good thing I remember the antidote," said Madam Pomfrey.

"You've seen this before?" asked Dumbledore.

"Once; a while ago," said Madam Pomfrey. "It's a very rare spell. Not a lot of people even heard of it. It takes about an hour to brew. I need Professor Snape. I only know what's in it. He probably knows what to do."

"I'll go get him," said Draco. He ran out of the hospital wing, down to the dungeons, then into the Potions classroom and into Snape's office. Draco pounded on the door.

"Go away! It's 3:30 in the damn morning!" yelled Snape from inside.

"Professor Snape! It's an emergency!" yelled Draco. He heard angry steps toward the door. Then, angry groans and mutters under Snape's breath as he opened the door.

"What is it?" snapped Snape.

"Realism Nightmarium," said Draco. Snape grabbed his robe, got the ingredients, and ran with Draco to the hospital wing.

"Who?" asked Snape.

"Hermione," said Draco.

After an hour passes and the potion done, Hermione drank the really disgusting potion, but the Polyjuice Potion was far worse.

"She'll stay in here until tomorrow morning," said Madam Pomfrey. She ushered everyone out, told Hermione to go to sleep, and went to bed herself.

A/N: Ok, the title of this chapter is the curse Hermione got hit with in Another Attack. Its kinda crappy, so if you have a better one, please tell me! I really need help on that. If I like yours, then I'll credit you like down here or something.:)
