I wrote this a long time ago...sorry if it doesn't make sense!

Chapter Two: Boring Days To Come
"Oh chin up Hermione! It's only five days away! I think you can hold your Bloody dragons until then!"
"Oh Merlin," Hermione began exasperated, "There I go talking to my self again!"
"Well that's just bloody great!"
Gryffindor's Golden Girl reluctantly crawled out of her comfortable bed. She floated over her fluffy white carpet, and pattered her way across the cold tile floor of her large, regal bathroom. She placed a delicate hand on one of the many knobs, which controlled her whirl-pool.
It was quite similar to the one in the Prefects' Bathroom at Hogwarts, only Hermione's was considerably smaller, and didn't have as many peculiar bubbles and scents.
Hermione turned the handle with the ruby on it, instantaneously the warm water began to gush out of the shiny golden faucet.
Now came the hard part….bubbles…no bubbles….rose oil…lilac oil…?
This would probably be the hardest decision she would have to make all day.
In the end however, Hermione's bony hand, taking control of the situation, chose Prisma Powder.
The bathroom was every bit as white as her bedroom. It had a vanity, a shower, and the great tub she was about to hop into. There were a few sheer-curtained windows, and directly above the tub was a sky-light, which at the moment illuminating the miniature pool's water.
After yanking her flannel pants and white tank-top off of her slim body, Hermione gradually eased herself into the sun-drenched liquid. She gently closed the lids over her emotional, liquefied bronze rings, and let herself float in the prismatic water.
The skylight above her hit the cushy crystals, illuminating them from every direction, forcing tiny rainbows to dance jovially upon the walls, and gracefully on the surface of the water.
Slowly, Hermione allowed her gold-flecked spheres to open. She admired the how the powdered prisms masked her immaculate bathroom in astounding colors. From rose red, to peaceful violet, the colors ornamented everything they came in contact with.
The golden-eyed lion's mind drifted off to the dream she had experienced the previous night. She often found herself dreaming of that moment, it seemed vital to the flow of her life. His platinum hair affected her in every way, even what kind of jewelry she wore. It always had to be platinum. Platinum the stone had to ravish the expensive metal.
The stone always ended up being Lapis Lazuli, much to her surprise. But, that is what she thought of Draco lately, the stone appeared dark gray and of no value while in shadows, when it was seen in the light though, its perfect shade of medium blue flowed like waves as small gold-colored fragments twisted and turned, gleaming mischievously like a magnificently large school of tiny fish shining in the sunlight.
She had never seen a more beautiful stone.
Hermione often found herself thinking metaphorically when she marveled at the precious stone.
Draco, the stone, concealed in the dark, seemed worthless, monotonous, boring. But, when bathed in the light, or rather truth in Draco's case, anyone could see the treasures that lay in his soul and heart, like the stone's golden streaks.
Why wouldn't she allow herself to confide her troubles in any witch or wizard on the face of the responsible earth? Why couldn't she be honest towards others about how she felt?
"They just wouldn't understand."
Most importantly, why couldn't she accept it herself?
Loving Draco meant throwing out everything she had ever believed in...And who cares right?
To Hermione though, the world was defined through books and history...facts...she couldn't cast them away though.
It was all she had left.
The graduate squeezed her delicate eye-lids shut as she felt the fluid sadness well up in the bottom of her being and seep out through the windows-to-the-soul that were her eyes.
Hermione took in a deep breath as she let all the depressing thoughts she owned drip off of her. She resolved to wondering about the concert once more, instead of the band of tortorous thoughts which usually followed her mind.
How exciting it would be to finally relax and dance crazily in a hall filled with unknown muggles.
The well-trained Auror reluctantly climbed out of her magical tub. She examined her prune-like fingers as she reached for a warm dry towel.
Hermione closed her eyes, and allowed herself to get caught up in the softness of the towel. When she wrapped it around her body the sensation penetrated her skin, warming the deepest part her being.
She energetically bounced over to the spotless, clear, glass window. She gazed into the vivid sun, and indulged in the rich blueness of the dome which surrounded it.
Hermione wanted to live like this forever, young, free, and full of hopes and dreams.
Halfheartedly, the Gryffindor girl trudged into her gigantic closet.
For the last time that morning, she allowed her glimmering eyes to drift shut. When she closed her startling spheres, it felt like flying one-thousand miles away, no more troubles.
