Too Perfect

Chapter 11

Dreams and Sandwiches

Draco went to the front desk.

"What can I do for you?"

"My name is Draco Malfoy. I'm looking for the room of Hermione Granger. She fainted at some shocking news of her father. I came looking for her, but her father didn't know where she was, and I can't find anyone else in her family. Nobody seems to know where she is! And I've got to find her, find out what's happening, and then go report to half a million people!" He'd been talking incredibly fast, and now he took a deep breath. The receptionist popped her gum and stared at him.

"Um…what can I do for you?"

Draco rolled his eyes and said, "Where's Hermione Granger's room?"

"Room 315, dear."

Draco took off, searching for Hermione's room. He found it and stopped, thinking about what he should expect.

"How bad is it?"

"Fainting isn't bad…"

"But what if she hit her head? She could be in a coma! And worse, she could've lost the baby!"

"That's doubtful. Just go in!"

"I don't want to go in."

"Why not? You love her, don't you? Why shouldn't you want to make sure she's alright?"

" As long as I stay out here, nothing can happen. If I don't know, then I can't feel bad about it."

"While that's a good point…"

"No, you know what? I can't just stay out here, wondering and worrying. If I go in, I can figure it out and ease my mind. I hope."

"That's the spirit, mate."

Draco took a deep breath, opened the door of the room and stepped into the bright room.

Ginny woke up from one of her dreams. She sat up in a cold sweat. She pondered her dreams. She had had two of them. She got up and pulled on a blue fluffy robe and her slippers. She crept down the stairs and across the silent, empty Common Room. She tiptoed up the Boy's Dormitory steps and creaked open the door to the 7th year Boy's dorm. Ron was muttering in his sleep about spiders, but everyone else was silent. She went over to Harry's bed and opened the curtains slowly. Harry was sleeping soundlessly. He looks so cute when he's asleep. She put a Silencing Charm, to keep anyone from hearing what she was going to tell him. She sat on him and he woke up instantly, crying, "What the hell?" Ginny smiled, glad she had put a Silencing Charm around the bed.

"Hi Harry." She slid off his stomach onto his bed.

"Hey…Ginny. Uh…am I dreaming?"

"Uh, no, Harry."

"Then why are you in here?"

"That's a good question—"

"Even better question: Why'd you sit on me?"

She smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry about that, love. I wanted to get you up quickly…"

"It worked…okay, so why?"

"I had another dream, Harry."

He sat up, interested.

"You did? What happened?"

"It was about Hermione…"

"Hermione?"

"Yes, and I'm really confused about it. On one hand, it could be good, or really good, but then it could be bad, or really bad, or really, really bad. I can't read it."

"Okay, well tell me what happened?"

"Well, I saw Hermione. She was sitting on a hospital bed. She was crying. Draco was there, too, and he was just…standing there…smiling. She said to him, "What else could happen to us?" and then Draco hugged her."

"It doesn't sound good."

Ginny shook her head and said, "No…no, it doesn't. I had two, actually."

"What was the second?"

"It was about Mr. Granger."

"He seems to be in a lot of these dreams of yours. I'm starting to wonder if I should be getting jealous."

"Hey, these aren't pleasurable dreams, you know! I hate them. I wake up in a cold sweat, I feel like I shouldn't go to sleep at night, the things I see are sometimes terrifying, and I feel like I shouldn't see them! It doesn't seem right."

"No, they aren't fun. I had to go through this, remember?"

"Yeah, I remember…you saved my dad's life with one of those dreams, Harry…how could I forget?"

He nodded and she said, "Can we get back to my second dream about Mr. Granger?"

He nodded again and she said, "Okay, so I didn't hear anything in these dreams, it was just visual. It was really sunny outside. It looked like it was summer. It was in St. Mungo's…I'm sure of it. Hermione was lying in a bed next to him, a bundle in her arms. She was happy for a moment, and then she looked over at Mr. Granger… something happened and all of a sudden there were people everywhere. Hermione was crying, trying to reach out for him. It looked like she was crying, "Dad! Dad!" but I can't really read lips, and I couldn't hear anything, so how could I know? So then it fast forwards a little bit and a Healer is telling Mrs. Granger, Hermione, and Draco something, and Draco takes the bundle, which I'm assuming is her baby, from Hermione and her and her mother start sobbing uncontrollably. Draco looked a little teary, too."

"Ginny…this dream is really bad…worse than anything I ever dreamt about! If what I'm thinking is correct, then Hermione's father is going to die on the day Hermione has her baby!"

Mrs. Weasly arrived at the Burrow, exhausted. She blinked the sleep from her eyes a few times, flicked her wand, and groaning, sat down at the table. Instantly a loaf of bread, cheese, ham, and mayonnaise came flying from the refrigerator and started making themselves into a sandwich. When it was done, Mrs. Weasly flicked her wand again and the kitchen cleaned itself and the plate with the sandwich floated over to her. She had taken one bit when Mr. Weasly came into the kitchen from the back door.

"Hello, Molly."

"Hi, dear."

"Long day?"

She nodded and said, "Are you hungry?"

He nodded his head now and Mrs. Weasly picked up her wand and flicked it again, the sandwich materials coming back out.

"Thanks, love."

She nodded and went back to her sandwich.

"How's Mr. Granger doing?"

She swallowed and said, "Not good."

"He's still the same, then?"

"No, actually he's getting worse. He's dying. The doctor's don't think he'll make it past the summer."

"Does Hermione know yet?" His sandwich was ready and floated over to the place next to Mrs. Weasly. He sat down and started eating.

"Well, Dumbledore let her Floo from his office…her mother wanted to tell her in person that he was fading…but she fainted before she could tell her anything else."

"Is she alright?"

"I don't know. The Healer's wouldn't tell me anything, and the receptionist just sat there, popping her gum and not doing a ruddy thing. I couldn't figure out which room was hers, so I just left a note for Mrs. Granger saying to contact me in some way to let me know what was going on and if she was alright."

She took a deep breath and another bite of her sandwich.

"I hope she's okay. Draco won't be able to take it if she's not. She's pregnant with his baby, correct?"

"Yes…I hope her father lives until the birth of his first grandson…that would be terrible if he didn't! I can't imagine what it would be like if we had never gotten to meet our grandchildren! Bill and Marie's daughter, Hannah and their son, William…Charlie and Rebecca's son, John…Imagine dying before then…"

"I really don't want to picture that…"

"Exactly!"

"Well, my day wasn't so peachy, either."

"What happened?"

"Well, we've had more cases of regurgitating toilets…"

Mrs. Weasly made a disgusted face and he continued, "and we're having calls about biting teapots, jumping alarm clocks, and self-writing pens."

"What's wrong with a self-writing pen?"

"Well, if a Muggle is using it, lots. Many memory's were erased, and items confiscated."

"Long day…"

A/N-

Note #1- I absolutely LOVE writing people having conversations with themselves, so writing Draco's little talk with himself was really fun! It's just Draco's mind, talking to his…his more sensible yet sometimes argumentative side. I believe we all have one of those inside of us. : D!

Note #2- Mr. and Mrs. Weasly's conversation was basically for cheer entertainment and stalling time. It was pretty funny, I thought. I don't believe I said anything about their grandchildren before, so I created wives for Bill and Charlie and a few grandchildren. I felt there should be some. Plus it made Mrs. Weasly's little speech longer! Haha.

Note #3- I'm sorry that this chapter and the chapter before were short. The next one will be longer, I promise! I wanted a few cliffhangers to keep you interested. I think the next chapter will have the birth of Hermione's baby in it. BIG time skip, but I think there's only going to be two more chapters in this story (tear)

Note #4- THANK YOU SO MUCH! All of my reviewers deserve medals of HONOR! Y'ALL ROCK SOME SERIOUS SOCKS! Seriously, I love all of you so much. GROUP HUG: D

Please review, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Hope to her from ya soon,

Love,
