Summary: Sequel to "The Library." Hermione is back to kick some serious butt. Draco is also in the story, so for those of you depressed by the ending of "The Library," get ready for some well deserved revenge.
Chapter 3: Touch
Ginny and George stood there, mouths open, speechless. Hermione was immediately and completely awake at the familiar sound. That familiar voice. She turned to face the other side of the room and stood up slowly.
"Draco, how did you get here?" she asked tentatively, "This is Ginny's bedroom. I don't know why I would dream about you in Ginny's bedroom..." she mumbled.
Ginny coughed a small "ehem," and Hermione turned to face her. "You aren't dreaming Hermione." she said quietly.
Hermione gaped for a second, and then laughed, grimly, looking at Draco. "Of course I am"
Draco's face was puzzled as he looked to Ginny. "Wait? This isn't a dream?" he said cautiously.
"No. I am positive this is reality." George said coldly. He had not had the chance to warm up to the new Malfoy.
Draco now focused his eyes on Hermione, as if the whole room was in fog. He carefully approached her, and reached out his hand to gently brush her cheek. As soon as his fingers met her skin, he jumped back in complete surprise, a smile suddenly growing on his face. "I can feel you!" he yelled in amazement.
Hermione had jumped back in surprise as well. She never felt things in her dreams...
"How is this possible?" she wondered aloud.
"We made a mistake on the potion. It seems to bring dreams to life..." George said, still not particularly keen on the fact that Malfoy happened to be that dream.
"Life?" Hermione said breathlessly, undertaking the rising realization.
"Yes, as far as we can tell. Our flat is still covered in slug slime to prove it. Fred has nightmares about slugs. And you have nightmares about Draco Malfoy. Interesting."
"They aren't nightmares." Hermione smiled, overcome with happiness. After months of hopeless dreams, asking 'Please, just why can't he be here?' He had come. Hermione couldn't help herself, she started laughing with joy. She didn't care that Ginny and George were watching. She ran to Draco and planted a firm but passionate kiss on his unsuspecting lips.
He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her back, overwhelmed with living and loving again.
