Chapter 5 ;; Dreams and Memories

"CRUCIO!" a voice yelled in the darkness. Screams were heard from the contact of the spell.

Draco gasped to himself, trying to keep himself concealed.

"Stupid Mudblood whore. This is all your fault!" Draco heard a soft yelp in the darkness as they kicked her in the stomach. Draco could only imagine who was the victim of all the curses. Hermione…

"CRUCIO!" he said once again. Draco couldn't take it anymore.

"HERMIONE!" Draco yelled.

The man in the black cloak turned around and laughed at him, "You think you can save her?" He laughed mockingly at him. "This is all you're fault!" Draco felt the anger building up inside of him. How dare he…?

"Draco…Go…" Hermione whispered.

"It's your fault! You fell for the mudblood bitch. I told you to stay within your own class Draco." The figure stepped out of the darkness and faced him. "This is your punishment." His father looked at him, daring him to go against him. "You killed your mother."

"I DID NOT!" Draco yelled back at him.

"YOU KILLED HER! AND NOW YOU WILL KILL THE ONLY ONE YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT!" his father laughed. Draco felt himself lifting his wand to perform a spell.

"Draco… leave me…"

"I will never leave you Hermione! I LOVE—"

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

"NO!" Draco saw a flash of green light and didn't think. He just reacted. He saw himself running, trying to beat the speed of the curse. He dove after Hermione and--

"DRACO!"

Draco opened his eyes to see deep chocolate brown eyes staring down at him. He looked up at the brunette and rubbed his eyes.

"You alright?" Hermione asked. Then she looked down at him only to see him in pajama bottoms with no shirt on. She raised her eyebrows, trying to keep her cool, but blushed. Draco looked at himself, wondering why she was blushing. Once he realized why, he blushed himself.

"Oh sorry," he rubbed the back of his head, embarrassed. "I usually sleep like this."

She blushed, not minding at all. She ran those thoughts out of her head, "It's alright. You ok?"

Draco shook his head and rubbed his eyes, "What happened?"

"I don't know. I just heard you yelling in your sleep." She looked at him with concern in her eyes.

"Oh… I just had a bad dream." He stood up and stretched. "What's there to do today?" he asked trying to change the subject. Hermione looked at him hesitant, but decided against asking him any further.

"Well, we could go buy our books and other stuff for school." she suggested.

"Sounds good to me."

So Hermione and Draco walked around Diagon Alley, talking and buying supplies. Draco looked at her bright shining eyes. She's so beautiful. He shook that thought out of his head. No, I can't. That dream had to have meant something. I can't let that happen to her.

Hermione watched her friend as he was lost in thought. I wonder what his dream was about. I do hope he's alright.

Draco saw her looking at him in concern and gave her a questioning look. Hermione shook her head and smiled, shaking his question away.

"So did we get everything?" Draco asked. Hermione looked over the list and smiled.

"We still got one more thing…"

He looked at her puzzled, "I swear we've got everything."

Hermione laughed and grabbed his hand, causing both their hearts to jump, "Come on." She lead them to the front of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.

"What are we doing here?" he asked.

"I have some friends to say hello to. I haven't seen them in a while." They walked into the store only to be greeted by a fiery redhead.

"'MIONE!" one of the twins—Draco couldn't tell who—engulfed Hermione into a hug.

"George!" she smiled.

"Honestly 'Mione, you're the only one that could ever tell us apart." Fred said, coming up behind the counter and giving his old friend a hug.

George looked over and saw Draco, "What's this git doing here?" Draco glared at him, daring him to say more.

"Cool it you guys," Hermione said, sensing the tension. "He's with me." The twins looked at her in confusion.

"He's nicer now you guys, I promise." She gave them a look.

"Alright Mya, we trust you." Fred nodded, although he still looked skeptical at the idea. George walked over to the front of the store and conjured up a floating sign that said "Out to Lunch".

"It seems like we're always closing the shop for you." he laughed.

Hermione laughed in agreement. It was true. "That's how we became so close."

Strangely, she and the twins had formed a deep bond that could almost rival the one that she had with Harry and Ron. They had helped her out with her problems with Viktor and through that, using loads of their products, causing them to form a deep bond.

"Care to tell the story?" Draco asked, curious at what had gone down.

"George?" Hermione asked.

"Naw, Fred's the best story teller." He grinned.

Viktor had cheated on her with one of the veelas at a wizarding festival and Fred and George—who had been at the festival selling their latest products—had held the weeping Hermione as she told the tale. Surprisingly, the day brought back great memories.

"HERMIONE!" Fred called. He saw the poor girl wandering around the fair, with tears in her eyes. He looked at his brother questioningly and they gave each other a look, knowing what they should do.

"Alright everyone, we're going to go out for lunch right now." George told the crowd in front of his stand. The awed in disappointment.

"We'll be back in half an hour! So don't worry!" Fred gave a charming smile to the crowd.

"Yeah! So don't worry. You'll get more of me ladies." George gave a wink. Giggles were heard from the females. Fred glared at him and George shrugged his shoulders, grinning. "It's not my fault the ladies love me." His brother shook his head, but laughed.

Slowly the crowd went away as they closed up their shop with a sign that said "Out to Lunch".

They walked over to their little brother's best friend and lead her away from all the people.

"'Mione!" George called. She looked at him with tear-stained eyes and collapsed. Both brothers reached out and caught her. Fred held her as she sobbed onto his broad chest while George stroked her hair softly.

"Aw Mya, what's wrong?" George whispered.

Hermione looked up at both of them with such a heartbroken look, even the twins felt like their heart was breaking. Slowly she told the tale. "He sob was sob kissing another girl!" she finished.

Both brothers were shaking with anger. "That lousy git!" George said. Fred thought for a second and his eyes brightened. George saw that look in his twins eyes and grinned.

"'Mione, how would you like to get a little revenge?" Fred asked. Hermione looked up at their mischievous smiles and couldn't help but smile herself.

"What do you guys have planned?"

A while later, Fred was seen at the food area dressed up like a waiter. Viktor was there, sitting with the girl. Fred was disgusted. It was like the two couldn't even live without swapping spit.

"Hello, would you like to buy a rose for the lady?" Fred asked, swooping down with a bundle of roses.

"One please." Viktor paid for the rose.

"OH VIKTOR, YOU'RE SO SWEET!" the girl squealed in an annoying voice. Fred wished he could cover his ears.

"Of course baby." Again, they kissed. Fred walked away toward a waiting George and Hermione, slowly counting down in his head. Five, four, three, two—

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR FACE?" Viktor screamed. All eyes were on the couple.

"What do you mean what's wrong with my face?" the girl asked.

"LOOK!" He held up a mirror. The poor girl looked in the mirror only to find her face covered in boils.

"AHH!" she screamed. "GET THEM OFF ME!"

"Come on darling, lets go find something to fix this." The couple left the area, leaving the trio laughing with delight.

"OH you should've seen her!" Fred said, as the trio laughed at the memory. "Her perfect face was absolutely COVERED with boils. And our boil roses make your boils change colors, so there she was, crying with jelly bean dots!"

"Yup. One of our best products for the revenge wanting girlfriends and boyfriends." George smiled.

Hermione laughed, "So anyways…"

A while later, George and Hermione were disguised as workers at the hotel. Viktor and the veela came walking in practically attached to each other. Hermione felt like she was going to tear up, but George squeezed her hand in assurance.

"Can we help you?" George asked.

"Yes, can we have a hotel room please?" Viktor asked. Hermione felt disgusted at the idea of what they were going to do with the room to themselves.

"Of course." Hermione rang up the price and handed them the key to the room.

"And with this room get a free complementary pack of chocolate." George said, handing them the packet. The two walked up the stairs, not even saying thank you. Before they disappeared, George saw Viktor pop a chocolate in his mouth.

Hermione looked at George, "What exactly do the chocolates do?"

He grinned, "Fred and I have the sickest minds." Hermione gave them both a worried look but decided to trust the twins.

The three stood at the counter, as their regular selves, talking to themselves. A while later, a scream was heard. The trio looked up to see the veela, wearing only a bedsheet, come screaming down the stairs and running out the front door. Viktor came running down a moment later.

He looked at the trio, "Have you guys seen a—" He spotted Hermione.

"Hermione!" he put on his best smile. (a/n ;; I know he has that weird accent. I don't feel like putting it on. Lets just say Hermione taught him pretty well)

"Viktor." Hermione nodded civilly.

"Do you want to go out tonight darling?" He asked smoothly. Hermione was angered. The nerve of him!

Fred and George both looked like they wanted to pounce on the Quidditch player. Hermione held both of their arms, holding them back.

She looked up at Viktor and smiled, "Sorry Viktor. I don't think things are working between us. I need a real man." She said with hidden meaning. The twins laughed as she hooked arms with them. "After all, why have you when I could have these two?" She gave him the sweetest smile she could manage and walked out with the twins.

"You guys are the best." Hermione grinned as she hugged them both.

"Aw, 'Mione, you know you're always worth it." George grinned.

Draco looked at them puzzled. "So what exactly did the chocolate do?"

The trio looked at each other and burst out laughing. "Well let's say…" George started.

"It made him a little…" Fred continued.

"Less of a man." Hermione finished. Draco looked at them questioningly, as if asking, are you thinking, what I'm thinking? Hermione nodded. Draco broke into a grin and started laughing.

"You guys are genius!" Draco laughed.

Fred and George beamed, having a change of heart about the guy.

"We know." George and Fred smiled. Hermione shook her head.

"Great job Draco. You just had to add onto their egos." she groaned.

"Aw Mya. Why can't you be more like your friend?" George asked.

"Because you both already have big enough heads."

"We don't have big heads." He said.

"Yeah, it's just covered with all this hair!" Fred added.

"Anyways, I heard its great with the ladies." George said.

"What do you think 'Mione?"

"I think you guys are clowns." She groaned. All four of them laughed.

"I guess we've closed down the shop long enough."

"Yeah, sorry Mya. But we do have a living to make." Both twins kissed their friend on the cheek and shook hands with Draco.

"It's alright. It's time we left anyways." They waved goodbye and walked out of the store.

Draco turned to her, "Mya?"

Hermione laughed, "It's their name for me. If you want you can call me that too."

Draco gave her a smile that made her insides melt, but what he said next almost made her legs give away. "It's alright. I like your name. It suits you perfectly." He grinned. "Hermione." He said softly to himself.

She turned to him and looked deep into his green eyes. She smiled softly, "Draco." They both stopped walking to look into each other's eyes. They stood there, mesmerized, never wanting to turn away, drowning in the green and brown orbs. Hermione looked at him, hoping he would reach over and kiss her.

Draco looked deeper in her eyes and even stepped closer so their lips were barely centimeters apart. She could feel his cool breath over her lips. Draco closed his eyes and—

"This is your punishment. You will kill the only one you really care about!"

Draco's eyes snapped open. No, I can't.

"Let's head back to our rooms?" Draco asked. Hermione looked at him, hurt in her eyes, which quickly melted away. He mentally kicked himself, regretting his decision.

"Yeah," she said softly. "Lets go." The two walked away, not knowing they were being watched.

"You don't think…?" Fred looked at his twin.

George grinned, "I think so." The looked out their window as the couple walked away.

Fred put an arm around his brother, "Our little Mya is growing up." He wiped away imaginary tears.

"Yeah." Then George got a mischievous look in his eyes. "You know what this means right?"

Fred grinned, "Yup. It's time to come up with new products!"
