Chapter 4 Photographs

She boarded the plane with her carry-on after the excruciatingly long airport security check. She sat down in first class tiredly. She buckled herself in. A number of passengers came on as well and in a couple minutes she buckled up and prepared herself for take off.

She hated flying. A memory of herself flying to Canada with that creepy social worker guy. His black hair, kind of like the man in her dream. She sighed and gripped the armrests as they took off.

After they had levelled off she asked the waitress for a margarita and drunk it down in a matter of 10 seconds. Then she placed her head back and fell asleep.

There was a younger girl with curly hair crying sadly, packing everything in boxes. She picked up a photograph and tossed it aside. Hermione felt like a ghost looming over her.

She reached out to touch the girl but stopped and looked at the photograph. The people in it were moving; there was a tall black haired boy laughing with a red haired boy while he smiled and draped his arms around the red haired girl. The red haired boy smiled at a blonde haired girl.

In between the two boys was a rather intriguing blonde haired boy who was talking and laughing a lot with the rest of them and goofing around. He had his arms draped around a familiar looking girl but Hermione couldn't get her mind to see the face properly, no matter how hard she strained her eyes.

Before she could make out who it was a loud sob was heard as the girl snatched it up and tucked it into a small wooden box and locked it. The girl placed it in a cardboard box with some possessions. The girl picked up another photo and took a look at it and threw it on the ground.

Hermione looked at the picture. It was the same blonde haired boy in the first photo; he had his arm draped possessively around her waist but she seemed oblivious to the possessiveness of the gesture. Surely any other male who saw her like this would know she was off limits. He had eyes only for her and he cuddled her and played with her hair. He kissed her passionately.

Hermione couldn't see the girl clearly but saw her smile as she waved at whoever was taking the photo. The girl kissed the boy on the nose and twirled around happily. Hermione watched as he reached out to draw her back towards him and hug her.

Hermione felt a pang at thing and she didn't know why. The girls face slowly began to clear and Hermione heard the crying girl in the room get up.

Hermione abandoned the photograph. She saw the girl get up and brush the hair out of her face. There, standing right before Hermione, was her 17 year old self.

Hermione woke up with a start and was breathing heavily. She sat back in her seat again. That dream was so weird. She tried to remember exactly what happened but all she could remember was there were pictures…she couldn't remember the faces. The only face she saw was her own one.

Her 17 year old face crying and he face in the pictures when she couldn't see them in the dream. Hermione took out her laptop and decided to check her email and play some games on her computer to clear her head.

Draco Malfoy sat in the first class part of the plane, near the very front. He sighed and took out something from his bag. It was a picture. He always carried it with him. When Hermione had disappeared he had returned to her flat with the others to look for clues, all he found was the picture he now held in his hand.

It was them by the tree at Hogwarts. They had taken a group photo but then they took a picture of him and her. He looked at the picture and there she was smiling out at him before returning her gaze to his former 17 year old self.

They stood by the tree on the ground and he had his arm draped possessively around her waist. She was his and he had just then noticed that a group of Ravenclaw 7th years were starring at her. He she gazed into her eyes, Draco sat there remember the warmth inside her brown eyes, and he cuddled into her and played with her hair. He kissed her passionately. How long it has been since he had held her and kissed her like that.

Hermione had pulled away and waved enthusiastically at Ginny who was taking the picture at the time. She turned back to him and kissed him affectionately on the nose and twirled around happily. He watched as she twirled happily and he reached out to draw her back towards him and hugged her.

He put the picture away. He could remember her warm hugs, her happy smile, and her gleaming eyes. He had screwed up, she was under so much stress and he didn't see it. She left him without a trace and he didn't know why. Draco laid his head back, he missed her so much.

She had left them all, nobody knew why. Dumbledore had searched everywhere. Ginny had tried sending her letters, they always came back undelivered. All the teachers Hermione had tried to help find her. Snape, his godfather, had tried very hard to help Draco find her. Snape had drifted away from Draco afterwards. Draco had pushed people away. Only Harry, Ginny, Ron and Luna had stuck by him and were still in close contact with him.

He closed his eyes and tried to get some sleep before they landed.

Authors Note: I know, I know! It was short, but I got it out only about 30 minutes after I posted the last one, so think of it as a two in one sort of thing! Anyway please review! I'd love to here what you think!
