Hermione and Draco sat down next to each other in Dumbledore's office, Draco's parents sitting next to him. When Dumbledore sat down he had a very serious look on his face, that's when Hermione thought the worst.
Don't tell me anymore bad news, please, oh God, please. She thought closing her eyes waiting to hear what was going to be said.
"Mr. Malfoy, Mss. Pattan" Dumbledore addressed them, Hermione's eyes shot open then and Draco inhaled a deep breath. "Now, The Malfoys' and The Pattans' have decided to take your relationship to the next level. Since your not with each other one hundred percent on the time the two different families have wished you two to stay in one dormitory together."
Hermione's heart stopped for a few moments, not knowing exactly what this meant, "Sir, what do you mean?"
Dumbledore took a deep breath, "It means you two will share a room together, it's like a small apartment really except its in the school and theirs a password to the room. There is no food in there but a common room and two beds. You will both be moving from your house to there. You'll still be in your houses you are now, you are Slytherin and you Gryffindore. But, will be living in the same area." He explained, Dumbledore shooting an evil look at Lucius and Narcissa.
"Thank you, Dumbledore." Lucius started, standing now, "You've been a real help."
It's then when Hermione felt as if something wasn't being said, it was like they were being pushed together. It felt like somehow someone wasn't saying the whole truth about something. Hermione though, went along with it, with out no choice.
The first night in their own little room together was hell to remember. Draco was sitting on the leather couch near the fire, he was reading some Dark Arts book his father had sent him in his fourth year.
"This is absurd!" Hermione was saying upset as she unpacked her clothes into a dresser. "I can't believe that there making up live together! It's like there pushing us together for some reason!"
"Hermione, shove off it," Draco began, Hermione rolling her eyes, "Don't you want to live with me?"
"Well," Hermione began still unpacking, "Yes, but, this is too weird, its like we're moving too fast."
Draco put his book down and stood up starring at Hermione, "Too fast?"
"Yes," She replied, still not noticing Draco had gotten up and was starring at her.
Draco felt anger serge inside of him, "You know how many girls would die to be in your place?"
She stopped unpacking, looked over at Draco with a very confused look. "Where did that come from?"
"Well, do you?" Draco repeated, his anger still crumbling inside of him making him angrier by the minute.
For a moment she didn't know what to say, or how to feel. "No, I don't know how many… but I'm sure your going to tell me." She said, her angry side taking a hold of her.
"Many girls, my top girl Pansy is now hurt inside because of you." He said, and at that moment he knew he said too much. As he looked at Hermione he saw tears developing in her eyes, she blinked and tears came rolling down her cheeks.
"Really?" She said softly, still crying, "Well, why don't you just invite her down here? I'm sure you two would have a real good kick! Seeing how you only want to be with Pansy and think of only her then I'll leave to give you two privacy."
With that she ran for the door, "Wait, Hermione, I'm sorry!" He tried to explain but she had shut the door behind her and didn't plan on returning that night.
Draco stood there, feeling stupid, why do I have to let my anger take over me? Why must I say things I don't mean? God, the way she looked at me.
Draco sat down on Hermione's bed, finding her shirt and putting it up to his nose. He inhaled her scent and only wished he could turn back time and re start the night all together.
Hermione ran down the empty corridors with tears streaming down her face, she then found Harry and Ron standing along another empty corridor talking quietly. She didn't hear what they were saying and didn't care. She ran to them and went into Ron's arms with out even realizing it and cried upon his shoulder.
"Hermione?" Ron asked gently, holding her close while his thoughts wondered on the question why she was crying.
"Hermione, what happened?" Harry asked, rubbing her upper back to make her feel safe and protected.
Hermione couldn't think at the moment, or even breathe. All her mind was on was Draco and how he had looked at her tonight like he looked at her all the other years. It brought back bad memories and hateful thoughts of him, which she didn't want.
As she slowly calmed down she withdrew a deep breath and let go of Ron, "I'm sorry, it's just."
And she told them what had happened, the whole story, spilling her guts out. How she felt for Draco, how much fun they've had together, and their first fight.
They were all sitting down on the grass in one of the courtyards now, it was dusk and Hermione didn't feel like going back to her new dormitory.
"Harry," A voice called to him, everyone looked up and found Professor Moody (the real Professor Moody) standing there. "May I have a word for a few moments?"
And with that Harry left Ron and Hermione with a smile and look of interest on his face, he always enjoyed talking to Moody.
"I'm sorry, Hermione." Ron said softly, and looking up he caught contact with her eyes.
"It's alright, it's just that Draco isn't that bad once you get to know him." She said, looking away from him eyes.
Hermione smiled and then felt a very hard hit on her head, she then felt dizzy and fell to the ground the rest of the way, blacking out.
Hermione then opened her eyes, sitting up she felt a bit dizzy but found Ron no where to be seen. In fact, no one was around to be seen.
"RON?" Hermione shouted out, hoping he would answer, "come on, stop playing around… I don't like these tricks."
Just then Hermione felt someone behind her, and grab her putting their hand over her mouth.
"You're going to come with me," A voice said in a very soft whisper, she could tell it was a boys voice though, but a mature boys voice. Hermione's heart was racing as the mysterious boy led her to a very old looking brick. He grabbed it and immediately they were flying through the air and then suddenly landed.
Hermione sat up, looking around she found herself to be in a huge room full of torches lit up with fire. She looked around the room more clearly now, she found herself to be sitting in a circle, surrounded by men in cloaks with hoods on so you couldn't see their faces.
Then a man walked up to her, a man with two snake like eyes and a pointed nose. His eyes seemed to be cold but were the color of red fire.
"Stand up, Mss. Pattan, welcome." The man said, and it was then Hermione knew who this was… it was Voldemort.
She stood up and immediately said, "Voldemort."
"Very good!" He responded with a wide smile, "Now, you will bow to your grandfather and then stand as the Princess of the Death Eaters. Your rightful place now, Hermione."
Hermione's heart sank, she had to be dreaming, and this couldn't be real?
She didn't want to bow, he had killed so many people, but did he say her grandfather?
"My child, please, I know your frightened, but I don't intend on brining any harm to you, you're my grandchild… not by blood. But I took your mother in as one of my own and now her daughter will be my grandchild. Now, bow." He said, looking at her softly, which felt awkward.
You killed my best friends parents, I will not bow! She thought to herself, fury coming inside of her.
"Alright, fine, but later on, I know you'll bow. I… I… I lo… I care deeply for you and I know what's best. So, for now, go find Draco… kiss and make up!"
Hermione slowly opened her eyes, everything coming in at a blur but then clearing soon enough. It was there she found Ron trying to wake her.
"HERMIONE! Oh, I thought that rock hit you a bit hard!" He said, hugging her friendly like.
"Ron, a rock?" She asked, thinking back on what she had just experienced, or didn't experience, was it a dream?
"Yeah, this rock came from no where and decked you right on the head, are you ok?" He asked, just then Harry came back and Hermione jumped up.
"I've got to go," She said, "Bye guys." She said running off and soon enough she returned to her dormitory.
She said the password quickly and ran in the room before it shut and locked itself. She found Draco lying on her bed sleeping. No matter, she ran and jumped beside him slowing climbing upon him and holding him tightly.
"Take it you forgive me?" Draco asked sleepily, opening his eyes. Hermione wanted to forgive him, and so she did, I love him she thought to herself.
"Yes," she explained, still holding on to him.
"I am sorry, Hermione." He said sweetly, and she knew it was honest, she knew he wasn't lying. She never told him about her dream, or what wasn't a dream. She didn't want to bother him with such a silly idea of Voldemort being her grandfather.
All she wanted the most right now was to feel safe in his arms, and she did. It seemed like the only place she felt safe at the moment, so she stayed in his arms.
She pushed off her suitcase to the floor and pushed her clothes to the floor as well. She climbed in her covers as he climbed in with her. He took off his shirt, reveling his beautiful and worked out stomach. They laid down together, feeling warm and pure love.
"Goodnight Draco," She said to him, making a beautiful connecting with his lips. After a few moments they broke apart.
"Goodnight, my love." He said, as they both fell fast asleep.
Draco with sweet dreams of him and Hermione together, being happy forever, and falling in love with her over and over again everyday for the rest of his life.
Hermione's dreams filled with Voldemort, and the thought of him being her grandfather wouldn't leave her mind. It intoxicated her, but as she slept through the night she knew Draco was near which made her feel safe and secure… and even… loved.
