Chapter 3--Back in the Dream

"Hermione?"

"Yeah Ron?" Hermione said turning around.

Hermione was in Gryffindor common room; she had been there all day after classes ended.. She had been working with Ron and Harry but Harry soon excused himself to go and get drinks for them from the kitchens. And like always she was almost done her homework

"Ron what is it?" Hermione asked, when Ron wasn't talking.

"HermioneIwaswonderingifyouwouldgooutwithme?" Ron said very fast, his face turning redder then his hair.

"What?" Hermione asked totally taken aback. "Ron can you say that again, only slower this time?"

"I was just wondering if you Ahh," Ron took a deep breath in and out, "If Ahh, if you would go out with me?" Ron said, now his face was redder then a tomato.

Hermione was in shock sure she loved Ron, but she also loved Harry the thing is though she only loved them as brothers, she could never date them.

"Oh Ron, why me?" Hermione asked looking down on to the floor.

"Because I love you," Ron said taking a step towards Hermione.

"I love you too Ron, but not in that way. You and Harry are like my brothers, I could never date you nor Harry,"

Harry walked in through the portrait hole carrying hot chocolate and donuts. Harry looked up to see Hermione picking up her books with a sad expression on both her and Ron's face. She walked over to the portrait of a unicorn that led to her room.

"Hermione where are you going? I have the snacks," Harry asked as Hermione said the password and the portrait opened up.

Hermione turned around and saw Harry, "Oh sorry maybe some other time, I have to go, bye," and with that she walked through the portrait and left.

"Well her loss here Ron I got Honey Glaze your favorite," Harry said passing the donut to Ron.

"No thanks Harry I'm not hungry anymore," Ron said. He stood up and left the common room up to his dormitories.

"Alright," said Harry totally confused. "Ron not hungry? boy I must have missed something," Harry said to himself biting into the donut.

(That night)

"Hermione look up at the stars!" a voice said.

Hermione looked up at all the stars.

"Wow there so pretty," six-year-old Hermione whispered.

"You want to go by the river?" The little boy asked.

"Sure,"

Hermione and the little boy stood up, and went by the river hand in hand. They stopped at a clearing.

"Here Hermione I got this for you," The boy said handing her a pink and purple butterfly key chain.

"Wow, thank you," Hermione said hugging the boy.

"What do you think your doing!" shouted a cold voice.

Hermione shot up in bed in a cold sweet.

"Why do I keep having that same dream over and over and why does it always stops there?" Hermione asked herself. She got out of bed and put on her housecoat, she left her room and sat in front of the fire in the common room. She sat in her chair with her knees up on the couch staring into the dancing flames of the fire just thinking.

(In Dracos room)

"Look up at the stars!" Draco said.

The girl beside did.

"Wow there so pretty," She whispered.

"You want to go by the river?" Seven-year-old Draco asked the girl beside him

"Sure,"

Draco and the little girl stood up and went by the river hand in hand. They stopped at a clearing.

"Here I got this for you," Draco said passing the little girl something.

"Wow, thank you," she said, hugging him

"What do you think your doing!" shouted a cold voice.

Draco shot up in bed in a cold sweet,

"That dream, why do I keep having it? Who's that girl? What did I give her? Who tried breaking us up?" Draco thought to himself.

When he realized he wasn't going to get an answer he stood up, put a shirt on and went downstairs to the common room. When he got there he noticed someone else.

"Granger why are up this late?" Draco asked sitting down in his chair.

Hermione jumped a little when she heard her name and his voice. She was in deep thought and didn't hear anyone coming near.

"I could ask you the same thing!" Hermione said looking at him.

Draco looked at her then sighed,

"I keep having this weird dream," He said in a low voice.

This of course caught Hermiones attention, this and the fact that he was telling her something.

Hermione turned away from him and looked back at the fire.

"I know what you mean,"

Draco looked up from the floor and stared at Hermione,

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"I keep having this reoccurring dream," Hermione told him.

Draco looked back to the floor.

"Hey Malfoy?"

"Yeah?"

"I was wondering, well you see, I don't really like fighting and arguing with you all the time and I think you're a really nice guy. I guess what I'm trying to say is. Malfoy will you be my friend instead of my enemy?" Hermione asked not taking her gaze from the dancing fire.

Draco looked up at her for a long time, no one has ever asked to be his friend sure he had people from Slytherin like Crabbe and Goyle, but they only hung out with him because he was a Malfoy. That's why people hung out with him because he is because of his name or for his money. Hermione however asked him for his permission; she didn't care who he was or how rich he was.

Hermione turned her gaze from the fire and looked at him, the way the fire hit her face Draco could see what was in her eyes...Hope.

"You know Hermione you're not like most girls,"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, you don't make someone like you, you ask or help them, you try being their friend with kind words and kind ways," Draco said. Even in the dim light he could see her face turn a little pink.

"Does that mean you want to be my friend?"

"I called you 'Hermione' didn't I?" Draco asked with a smirk on his face.

Hermione smiled and Draco got up off the couch and walked over to her. He held his hand out and Hermione took it, they shook hands then Draco helped her off the couch.

"We should get to bed we still have classes in the morning," Draco said, letting go of her hand when she got to her feet.

"Goodnight," Hermione said walking to her dorm.

"Goodnight," Draco said doing the same.

When Draco got into bed he laid there for a while.

"A real friend, wonder what that is like?" He said to himself.
