Draco and Harry looked at each other then back at Hermione.

"Hermione, what are you talking about?" Asked Harry.

"In my dream, I found how I got my powers. And why my parents died." She got quiet after the last part.

"Hermione, it was just a dream. It doesn't mean anything." Draco said.

"No I wasn't just a dream! It was real! I was there and everything! I saw everything!" Hermione was starting to get frustrated.

"Then what happened?" Asked Harry. Hermione gathered up her strength and told them what happened in her dream. After she was done, Draco and Harry looked shocked.

"Hermione, that doesn't explain your powers." Harry said finally.

"Yes it does! Don't you get it? They tried to do a spell on me to kill me. Remember he said that he had to play around with the blood he got? He didn't do it right. He forgot a step and it messed up. Instead of killing me, he made me stronger." Hermione reasoned.

Draco didn't know what to do. He felt horrible. His father did this to Hermione because he loved her. Now Hermione has this power that he can't do anything about and her parents are dead. This was all his fault. Hermione must of sensed it because she looked at him with knowing eyes.

"Harry, can I talk to Draco for a second? Alone." Hermione asked.

"Sure." Harry walked out of the room and closed the door. Draco turned back to Hermione.

"I'm so sorry Hermione." He said. His eyes were already glassing over.

"What are you talking about?" Hermione asked.

"This is all my fault. If I didn't love you, your parents would be alive and you wouldn't have those powers."

"Draco! Don't you dare think this is your fault. You didn't do anything wrong. You aren't responsible for your feelings. And my parents weren't going to live forever." Hermione resolved.

"But they didn't have to die so early." Draco finally let a tear fall. Hermione reached over and pulled him into her arms. She let him cry on her as long as he needed. And he cried for a while.

After a while, he looked up at her. He could see that she had let a few tears fall as well.

"Hermione I'm so sorry. This must be so horrible."

"Draco. You didn't do anything. I don't know how many times I'm going to say that. But you didn't." Hermione wiped her tears away from her face.

"I'm never going to let them hurt you ever again. I promise." He said. Without him knowing, Hermione grabbed him by his face and pulled him into a kiss. Draco was taken by total surprise. He had no idea that she would do something like that right then. He kissed her back. He knew he shouldn't but he had to kiss her.

There was a knock on the door and Hermione reluctantly pulled away from him. She looked at the door and yelled for Harry to come in.

"I hope I wasn't interrupting anything." he said looking at the two. He looked at Hermione's lips. They were swollen. 'They had been kissing before I came in. aw, that's so sweet.' Harry thought to himself.

"Well, Hermione, I have to go and look that spell up that you said they used. Maybe we can reverse what happened to you." Said Harry turning around to leave once again but Hermione stopped him.

"Wait! I want to keep them for a while. I want to see if I can control them first." Said Hermione looking into Draco's eyes and then turned back to Harry.

"Are you sure about that Hermione?" Asked Harry.

"Yes. I know I was given these powers for a reason. So if I find out how to use them, they may be of good use."

"Okay, well then get some sleep. I'm going to see if I can find you a place to say at for a while until we can get Lucius. With him running around, your really not safe."

Of course I'm safe. Hermione thought to herself. I have you two protecting me.

She looked at Harry and smiled. He turned left closing the door. Hermione and Draco could hear him apparate out of there. She turned back to him.

"Well, I guess I should leave to." Said Draco getting up to leave. Hermione grabbed his arm to stop him.

"Please stay with me." Hermione said looking up into his eyes. He could see that she was terrified.

"Hermione, what's wrong?" He asked her.

"That dream. It kind of scared the crap out of me." Hermione said.

"Did you miss something when telling me and Harry?" Asked Draco.

"A little bit." Hermione confessed.

"Wanna tell me what happened that has you so scared?" He asked her.

"Before your father came, we were happy. It felt so real. Like they never died. We were at the table eating like we used to do and then your father came and took them away all over again.
I saw the fear in my mothers eyes. Before she died she looked so surprised. And then… they were closed and she died. Again. And my father, he was a mess. He whispered into her ear, he said he was on his way. He knew he was about to die." Hermione's face was now streaked with tears. Draco pulled her over and held her close but she continued. "He killed them because he was after me and I wasn't there. I was with the Weasley over Christmas vacation." Hermione let more tears fall from her eyes. "All because of me."

"Hermione, I would take it all back if I could. You know that?"

"What are you talking about?" Hermione asked him.

"All the things that I said at Hogwarts. And what happened to your parents. I would take it all back if it meant that you could be happy again." Draco let his own tears fall. they sat there and held each other until Hermione fell asleep. Draco looked at his watch. It was already 3:30. He didn't want to wake Hermione up so he picked her head up carefully and laid it back on the pillow. She moved on her side and fell back to sleep. Draco stood up and took his shoes off. He walked into the living room. He decided that he would sleep on the couch tonight. Hermione wanted him to stay with her but she didn't say stay in the same room. He went to the lining closet and pulled out some blankets and sheets. He got everything ready and took of his shirt and pants. As he laid down he thought some more.

I don't understand. Draco thought. How did she manage to go back in time and interact with her parents for a while but she couldn't with my dad. He thought about it for a while until he fell asleep.

Hermione woke the next day with a blazing headache. She rolled over to look at the clock sitting on the nightstand. It was eight o'clock. She remember there was supposed to be a certain blond boy with her. She looked around the room for any signs of him but there wasn't. She got out of bed and walked over to the dresser across the room. She had puffy eyes that were bloodshot.

"How the hell am I going to explain this to the people at work. Maybe I can get to Ginny before I go to work. She'll know a spell that can fix this." Hermione said to herself. She walked out the room to the living room to be surprised to see a blond boy snoring on her couch. She walked over to him, careful not to wake him up, she sat at the end of the couch and watched him sleep.

"You look so peaceful." She said quietly. He stirred and she held her breath. When it looked like he was sleeping again she rose up quietly and walked to the bathroom. When she closed the door she cast the silencing charm on it and turned on the shower. "Today is going to be a lot better than yesterday. Guaranteed." She stepped inside the shower and let the water run over her for five minutes before she really washed up. When she was done, she stepped out and wrapped a towel around herself. She then walked into the living room to find Draco sitting up and rubbing his eyes. She stopped and stared at him hopping he wouldn't turn around.

Draco heard her and turned around. He couldn't help but stare at her. She was beautiful. Her hair was wet and she started to blush. Who wouldn't stare at something as beautiful as her. He must of realized that he was making her uncomfortable so he turned around.

"I didn't know you were awake yet." Hermione said thankful that he stopped staring at her. "Sorry if I woke you."

"No you didn't wake me up. I woke up my self." He said still not looking at her.

"Well, the bathroom is open if you want to take a shower yourself. I'll just go get dressed now." She said feeling foolish. She rushed to her room and closed the door softly.

Draco stood up and walked to the bathroom. He had to use it all night but he didn't feel like getting up. When he was done he decided to go home and get ready for work. When he walked out into the living room he saw Hermione dressed, thank god, folding the sheets and the blankets. When he was visible, she looked up and smiled.

"I'm going home to get dressed." Draco said taking the stuff from her and putting it back were he found it.

"Okay. What time do you have to be at work?" Hermione asked him.

"1:00. Why? What time do you have to be there?"

"1:30. I was just wondering. Well, it's only 10:00 right now. When your done you can come back for breakfast if you want." Hermione looked down to hide her blush. She didn't know why, but he made her feel different. Draco smiled at her sad attempts to hide her now rosy cheeks. He lifted her chin with his finger and kissed her. Hermione felt her breath leave her the instant his lips touched hers. Draco smiled at her and continued to kiss her. Hermione finally responded and kissed him back. She let her hands run through his hair. She found that difficult seeing as how he hasn't combed it since yesterday. She smiled at that and he pulled away from her.

"Are you laughing at my hair." Draco asked her. Hermione's smile faded. She didn't want to stop kissing him. But she decided not to show that to him.

"Maybe I was. What are you going to do about it?" She asked him. Draco didn't reply to her as quickly as he would of liked. But he came back with a supposed to be smart remark.

"Wanna find out?" He asked her. There was so many things that he could do to her at the moment but he decided that it was to early for that kind of activity. Plus that would be taking advantage of her. None of that.

"Sure." Hermione was purposely trying to test him. She wanted to see what he was hiding. So she had to play dirty.

"Granger, do you have any idea what your trying to get yourself in. I don't think you would want to find out."

"Fine then. If your scared. Then I'll stop." She smiled teasing him.

"Fine then, I'll say that I'm scared. Even though you know better than I do that nothing scares me." He checked his watch. "I better get going if I want to make it back for breakfast. Anything you want me to pick up before I come back?" He asked her.

"Nope, just hurry up. The food won't take long to cook and it'll get cold." She said.

"Fine. I'm going, I'm going." He said. He flashed her a Malfoy smile and apparated home. Hermione smiled at the though of him coming back for breakfast. She really didn't have any idea what she was going to cook. It had been a last minute idea. Hermione walked into the kitchen and opened the cabinet. She decided on some pancakes, bacon and sausage and started to mix the batter and turned on the stove for the bacon and sausage.

'I wonder' she thought to herself. She sat the bowl with the batter in it down and stepped back. She concentrated on the bowl with all her might. She willed it to stir itself. Hermione could feel the beads of sweat running down her head as she tried not to blow anything up. Just as she was about to give up, the spoon started to stir the batter. She couldn't believe that it was working. She then decided to walk out of the kitchen to get one of her books and read while the food cooked. That was a bad idea. As soon as she turned, the spoon started to spin too fast and pancake batter was flying everywhere. She turned back to the bowl and willed it to stop. It did, but too late. All the mix was gone from the bowl and hanging on the wall. She pulled out her wand and preformed the cleaning spell. She started the new bowl of mix and decided to just do it by hand.

By the time she was done, Draco hand appeared in the dining room.

"It smells good in here." He said sniffing the air. "Pancakes, bacon and…sausage?" He asked her naming all the things he could smell.

"Good job. Hurry! Sit! It's almost time for you to go to work." She said sitting herself down and digging in. Draco dug in too. He watched Hermione take a few bites hers. She ate half her pancakes and most of her bacon and a few bites of sausage. After that she pushed the plated away and looked up at Draco. She saw him staring at her and she smiled back.

"Are you done too?" She asked him.

"No."

"Then why are you staring at me?" She asked.

"Because your beautiful." He said. Hermione felt her face blush again. "you blush a lot. Did you know that?"

"Yeah." Hermione answered looking down at her plate. She checked her watch. 12:50. "You better hurry. You only have ten minutes left. Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, its great! Where did you learn to cook so good."

My mother. Hermione said looking down at her plate again. Draco wished he wouldn't of brought that subject up. "I tried using my powers again today." She said. Draco looked up at her interested.

"Oh, really? Did it work this time?" He asked shoving more pancakes into his mouth.

"Kind of. I got batter everywhere though." Draco didn't have any clue to what she meant so she broke it down for him. "I tried to stir the pancake batter using my powers. It was working for a while but when I turned away from it, it went crazy and well, you can figure out what happened." She said. Draco was holding back a laugh. It was funny. It really was. Hermione realized what he was trying to do and she glowered at him. He felt it and he stopped instantly.

"Sorry. Well, I better get going." he said looking at his watch. It was 12:55. He got out of his chair and pulled out his wand. "Are you done?" He asked Hermione. She nodded and he wave his wand at the table and kitchen. Everything started cleaning it self and things flew into the cabinet.

"Thanks." Hermione said.

'No thank you for the meal. it was great. See you at work." He bent down and kissed her on her lips. But before Hermione could kiss him back he was gone. She opened her eyes to see herself staring at the wall.

"Well, I better go and re-clean myself." she said looking at her clothes.
