Chapter 7: Questioning Daydreams

After Slughorn left Hermione and Malfoy, the two made their way up to the Gryffindor common room in silence, a million thoughts floating in their heads.

'Why did he kiss me? It doesn't make any sense. Even if he was trying to make it so that I wouldn't get in trouble with Slughorn I still got in trouble. I might not even have been punished if it weren't for him because I am Head Girl,' Hermione thought, biting her lip.

'I cannot believe I kissed the Mudblood. I mean, she does look good but she's Mudblood Granger! Member of the Golden Trio and Little Miss Perfect! Father would kill me if he ever found out,' said one part of Malfoy. The other part of his brain was thinking quite differently. 'But father is dead here…And on this plane, he probably would not have even cared that I kissed a Mudblood. And it's not like it was a bad kiss…'

The two arrived at the portrait hole, spoke the password, and entered the common room, the awkward silence between them holding strong. Finally, Malfoy decided to say something. He was a Malfoy after all and because of that he never had any reason to feel awkward.

"Your welcome, Granger."

"Er – thanks I guess."

"Still overwhelmed by my impeccable kissing skills? I bet Weasley never kissed you like that," said Malfoy with his characteristic smirk.

Hermione had no idea what to say to him so instead, she decided to glare at him.

"Hermione! Draco! Over here!" called Ron from across the common room.

Hermione went over to where Ron was sitting with Parvati, Malfoy following behind.

"Hermione! Your birthday is tomorrow!" exclaimed Parvati.

"Merlin! Your right! I completely forgot!"

"How could you forget your own birthday?"

"Well, a lot has been going on lately…" Hermione said, trailing off and glancing over at Malfoy.

"Your going to love the gift I got you. I got it from Fred and George's shop. Should be really interesting."

"I can't wait to see it."

"Nor can I. I'm sure it will be very…lavish," said Malfoy with sarcasm.

"Well, I'm off to bed. Long day. See you all tomorrow."

"Hermione! Wake up! Happy birthday! Open your presents so that we can see what you got!"

Hermione opened her eyes to see Parvati and Lavender Brown staring down at her, excited expressions on their faces.

"Sleep," Hermione said groggily, shutting her eyes once again.

"No!" yelled the two other girls in unison.

Together, they grabbed Hermione's feet and pulled her out of bed. Hermione landed on the floor and glared up at them until she saw her presents out of the corner of her eye.

'Wow. I never get this many presents. I wonder why I get so many more on this plane than I do on the other.'

Hermione went over to her pile and grabbed the closest gift. It was from both Parvati and Lavender and was a make up kit.

"Now we can do makeovers and stuff!" Lavender squealed.

Hermione tried to looks pleased but could not help but grimace. She didn't like to wear makeup and Parvati and Lavender were always trying to get her to wear some or to put on outfits that barely covered anything. She used to say that she had to make up which was why she never wore it but now she had no excuse. Hermione moved on to the next gift which was from her parents. They had given her a set of Muggle books that she had been eyeing over the summer both on her plane at home and this plane. Smiling, she grabbed the next gift which was from Tonks. Tonks had given her a ticket to a concert for the Weird Sisters for during Easter holiday along with a card.

'Dear Hermione,

I hope you like this gift! It was really hard to get these tickets but I got them! I know you really wanted to go and I have not seen them perform for ages so I thought it would be the perfect gift. Anyway I hope you have a brilliant birthday and that my dear little cousin is treating you all right. I will probably see you and Draco over the Christmas holidays. Happy birthday!

Love from,

Tonks'

Hermione's smile grew wider as she read the letter. She was so happy that on this plane, she and Tonks were still close, though she did find it a bit strange that Tonks was friendly with Malfoy.

Hermione opened a few other gifts including some homemade treacle tarts from Hagrid when she reached her last gift, which was from Ron. Hermione opened the parcel and when she saw what he had gotten her, she laughed. In her hands, Hermione held a long colourful box. On the top of the box was a picture of a man and woman sitting on a beach gazing into one another's eyes.

"Oh! I know what that is! It's a Patented Daydream Charm! I have always wanted to try one of those!" said Lavender, who was trying to snatch the box from Hermione's hands.

"Look, there is a note attached," said Parvati

'Dear Hermione,

I know you always said that these were just for kids but I think it might be kind of funny. Fred and George said that you should use it while your in one of your classes but you probably wouldn't want to miss anything. Anyway I hope have a good birthday.

Ron'

Hermione arrived at her first class, Muggle Studies, to find that her teacher was sick. All of her friends had other classes at this time so she decided to go up to the common room to read her new books.

She began reading one of the books from her parents, The Odyssey, but could not focus her attention on it. Her mind kept floating back to her gift from Ron. Finally, she decided to try it since the common room was mostly empty because everyone was in class.

Hermione retrieved the colourful box from her dormitory and read the box.

'To activate, pour the powder into a glass with powdered moonstone and water. The powder from this kit will alter the effects of the moonstone, which usually helps a person gain emotional balance. Once you mix the potion, drink it and point your wand to your head and say alucinor. This will activate the charm, giving you a 30 minute daydream of the most realistic fantasy you could ask for. '

Hermione followed the directions and felt herself move into the dream.

Hermione was in a huge library with at least a hundred bookshelves. The room was huge, with high, domed ceilings and windows made of stained glass. The room was dark, but small, glowing orbs floated among the bookshelves.

Hermione looked around and began to walk. As she walked, she realized that her outfit had changed. She was now wearing a silky green gown which had small crystal encrusted on the ends of the sleeves and the hem of the gown. Her hair had also changed and rather than being frizzy, it was smooth and sleek with soft curls forming at the ends.

"Hermione…" a male voice echoed

Hermione looked around for the source of the voice but could see no one.

"Hermione…Come look for me."

Hermione began to grow excited, anxious to see who the voice was coming from. She walked among the rows of bookshelves, looking down each one.

"You have almost found me…"

"Who are you?"

"Keep looking…"

Hermione continued to look when she finally came to the centre of the large library. In the centre, there were candles scattered about, and Hermione could faintly hear soft classical music playing.

She suddenly heard footsteps behind her and spun around. Her eyes landed on a man with white-blonde hair and light grey eyes. He was wearing a deep green shirt and tight leather pants. Hermione stared at him, unable to take her eyes off him.

She realised that this was Malfoy that she was looking at but did not care. In this daydream, there was something different about him and she wanted to be near him.

"You found me."

"Yes," said Hermione, who was suddenly breathless, as if she had just run a marathon.

Malfoy walked towards her slowly and put his hands on her waist, staring into her eyes. He leaned in, kissing her gently, then pulled away, looking into her eyes once more. She hadn't realised it before but she had been freezing, however once he kissed her, warmth spread through her and a tingling feeling spread from her toes up to her head. She rested her hands on his chest and gazed into his eyes like he had been doing to her. His eyes were warm and welcoming, filled with something Hermione could only identify as passion.

Hermione pulled him to her, kissing him with more force than he had used on her. Her hands moved around his hair, his hands still held her waist.

He pushed her into the nearest bookshelf. He had pushed her hard but she felt no pain. They continued to kiss, their kiss deepening, never stopping except for when he looked into her eyes…

After snogging for what felt like forever, Malfoy pulled away, once again gazing into Hermione's eyes. He raised his hand and stroked her cheek and gave her a soft kiss on her lips. They broke apart seconds later, their faces remaining inches apart.

"It's time for you to go…"

Hermione nodded, and Malfoy and the library faded away…

A/N: Okay, so I know there was not a lot to the daydream but I didn't want to overkill it. I liked writing the daydream though, it was so much fun! Anyway I hope it wasn't too disappointing. My beta liked it but she's a loser so I can't always trust her opinion…HAHAHA kidding! I'm very giddy right now. REVIEW!
