Thank you guys for your reviews! It's so nice to know that people are reading my story and actually enjoying it. Haha the reviews are definitely what pumps me to get out more chapters.

To explain this chapter, I'm using it as a transition. This needs to happen so that other things can fall into place, get it?

Chapter 4: The Dream

She was walking down the corridor to the Gryffindor common room. Ron had told her to meet him there. She felt happy but knew something was missing.

"Oh Hermione, where do you think you're going?" Draco was suddenly standing in front of the fat lady's portrait, appearing out of thin air.

"You just called me Hermione." She felt herself being pulled towards Draco as if there were an invisible string attached to her waist.

"I know I did. I also asked where you were going. I guess I should have been more precise. Why are you with Weasley when you obviously want me?" Draco's eyes bored into Hermione's. Once again, she felt drawn to him.

"Oh Draco..."

He leaned in and pulled her towards him. He kissed her softly and she returned it as gently. The corridor walls faded away, as did the fat lady's picture. They were in the Head common room now and kissing more intensely. Draco ran his hands down Hermione's back. He lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his firm torso. He backed her against a wall and kissed a trail starting from her neck and traveled down along her collarbone. She groaned softly and a sexy grin spread across her lips.

"Oh Draco...

Draco...

Draco...

Draco..."

He wondered whether or not he should wake Hermione. Draco knew by the way she was saying his name that there was only one thing she could be dreaming of and he certainly did not want to deprive her of something that could prove to be so amusing. In fact, he was a bit curious what would happen next in the dream. Maybe he'd find out a thing or two about the hidden side of Gryffindor Princess Hermione Granger. However, Draco decided waking her up would be more traumatizing. After another round of "Oh Draco," he started in.

"Man of your dreams am I, Granger?" Hermione snapped out of whatever world she had just been a part of. Her cheeks reached a shade of red she thought not possible.

"Draco! What are you doing in my room?!"

"Calm yourself, Mudblood. I was actually being decent to you for a change. It was time to go to breakfast and I noticed you hadn't woken up yet. I admit I did wait a few moments before waking you though. I rather enjoyed the way you were saying my name." Draco flashed Hermione a seductive grin.

"Well Malfoy, thank you for waking me from my nightmare in time for breakfast. I probably would have gone into shock if you hadn't been there to save me from yourself."

Draco scowled but he stopped once he thought of the truth. Hermione Granger had a sex dream about me! He smirked again and walked towards the door.

"Don't worry, Granger. I'll be sure to turn on the charm whenever Weasel's around." With a smirk and a wink, Draco left her room.

Hermione flinched at his idea. What if he's serious? He wouldn't do that, would he? Oh Merlin, who am I kidding? This is Malfoy I'm thinking about. Oh no! It would kill Ron if he knew I dreamt about Malfoy! Great. Marvelous. What a wonderful wake up call.



All throughout breakfast, Draco stared at Hermione. She caught his eye several times and quickly averted her attention. Harry finally noticed the odd exchange and questioned her.

"Hermione, what's going on? Why is Malfoy looking at you like that?" Ron snapped to attention and whipped his head in Malfoy's direction. Sure enough, there was Draco with his eyes fixed on Hermione, ignoring his Slytherin fan club. Ron growled and looked to Hermione for an explanation.

"Something happened this morning. No, he didn't hurt me and no, I don't want to talk about it." Hermione continued eating as Harry and Ron exchanged confused glances.

"Come on, Hermione, you talk to us about everything," said Harry. Hermione smiled at the both of them and again caught Draco's eye in the process. She flushed and immediately looked down at her plate.

"Um, not about this, guys. Trust me when I say you don't want to know." An awkward silence followed her statement. "Anyway, I should go. I need to review my notes before Potions. When he takes points from Gryffindor today, I don't want it to be because of me." Hermione took off for the Head tower leaving a baffled Harry and Ron behind her.
Just as she had predicted, Snape docked 20 points from Gryffindor by the end of class—10 from Neville when his should-be green potion turned a dazzling pink and 10 from Lavender and Parvati for their obnoxious squeals of delight at the color.

Hermione's plan was to be the first one out the door so she could avoid any awkward situation involving Draco and Ron. However, Draco had other plans. As class was dismissed, he stepped in front of Hermione, blocking her way to the door. Harry and Ron were immediately by her side.

"So Granger, inform Scarhead and Weasel about our little rendezvous?" Hermione gulped as Ron and Harry glared at Malfoy. "Relax, I didn't touch her. I wasn't physically there for it, actually, seeing as it happened in Granger's dreams. She apparently finds me irresistible. Tough break, Weasley." Noticing the looks on their appalled faces, Draco smirked and continued on. "Ask her yourself. Ask her whose name she was saying in her sleep."

Ron's eyes glistened with anger and his fists clenched. He and Harry looked to Hermione with pleading expressions, hoping she would deny it and assure them Draco was lying.

"Merlin! It was just a dream!" She had tried to sound convincing, but the red complexion in her cheeks gave away her true embarrassment. Harry and Ron couldn't move- their mouths were frozen in shock.

"Tsk tsk, Granger. Lying is just plain wrong." Draco could barely contain his excitement at causing tension within the infamous trio.

"Sod off, Malfoy," Harry sneered. "She would never touch you." He may have recovered, but Ron was still immobile. Knowing the one girl he truly cared about was dreaming of Malfoy did not sit well with his stomach.

"Potty, people interpret dreams all the time and anyone would say from the way Hermione groaned my name that she wants me." Draco made it a point to stare at Ron as he reached his conclusion. He then turned to Granger. "Why are you with Weasley when you obviously want me?"

Hermione gasped. The dream! Draco winked and left the trio in their confusion.

"Guys, I want to get started with my work right away. I know this is an awkward situation, but it was just a dream, I swear. I'll see you both later!" Hermione ran off to her room and sprawled out on her bed. Her mind was racing about Draco's question- both in the dream and in reality. She couldn't help but think the impossible...

Had she been shown something she shouldn't have seen?

I think that may have been a little shorter than usual, but I know you'll survive. I should have Chapter 5 out within the next day or two so check back soon!

Review!
