Chapter 8 - The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
It was now the first day of winter break. Harry and Ron decided to go to the Burrow. Hermione stayed behind as did Draco.
"He keeps asking me if I am ready to go to the next step, but the thing is, I am not. I can tell he is terribly upset, but he keeps shrugging it off," Hermione admitted to Draco.
"Then he does not deserve you love," Draco said.
"Well, the things is, I don't love him," Hermione finally admitted to Draco.
"What. I hear you tell him so all the time," Draco said confused.
"Well I started telling him because I thought I would grow to love him. But the truth is kissing him is like kissing my brother." Hermione admitted, if felt good to get that off her chest.
Draco tried his hardest to suppress a laugh.
"I think I want to break up with him, I think I have feeling for some one else," what she could not tell him was that he was the one she had feelings for.
"Wow Angel (His nick name for her), that's great. You know I think I am in love with some one." He said with a genuine smile.
Hermione could not contain her smile "Who is it Dragon? (He nick name for him)
"That's the thing, I don't know, she comes to me in my dreams almost every morning. She sings, I know she is real. It is like she is singing to me, but I never get to see her face." Draco was with an exasperated sigh.
"What song does she sing?" She asked curiously.
"That's the weird part, I can never remember the next morning when I wake up. But I know it is the same song every time." Draco said
Well I heard this song once, and I started to believe it, it saysa dream is a wish your heart makes." Hermione said with a small smile.
"Wow, that is perfect, you know Angel, I am glad we became friends," He said as he hugged her and trotted off to bed.
"I just wish we could be more my beautiful Dragon," She whispered as he walked out of the room.
It was now Christmas Eve. Draco has had the dream of that woman every morning and he was desperate. Hermione was helping him to find a spell that would reveal the woman's face. Though she was still deciding whether or not to break up with Harry, whether Draco wanted her or not. She had been in the Library all day when she finally stumbled across something in the restricted section.
The book read: Some one calling out to you in your dreams? Can you never see their face? Say this spell before you sleep and their true identity will be revealed to you by morning.
Somnium Inclino ut Verum-i
Once the spell is said. The next time you dream your mystery person will be revealed.
"Angel you found it, you brilliant, brilliant witch!" Draco gushed
That night before bed, Draco said the spell and drifted into a peaceful sleep.
It was two in the morning and Hermione could not sleep. She needed to think her feelings through; she knew Draco was sound asleep. Since she did her best thinking in the shower, she knew she would not disturb him, she decided to have a soak.
She stood under the warm spray, deciding what to do. Draco was in love with some one else. She did not love Harry. She was destined to be alone, to never find love. She almost felt like not singing, she wanted to give up. But she decided to give it one last try. So she began to sing that very familiar song.
Draco was dreaming of Quidditch when he dreamed changed, he was laying in bed thinking when the song started.
When I fall In love
It Will be Forever
Or I'll Never Fall In Love
He sat up in his bed, the singing was coming from the bathroom. He pinched himself, it did not hurt, he was still dreaming,
In a restless world
Love has ended
before it's begun
And too many
moon light kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
He reached for the door knob and pushed the door open.
When I Give My Heart
It Will be Completely
Or I'll Never Give My Heart
The room was filled with steam, but he could make out a woman's body no more then a few steps away.
And the moment I feel that you can feel that way too
Is when I fall in love you with
Draco stared, that was in woman he loved, and she is just so close.
"Atlast, I want to say I love you."
He woman began to turn around and he woke up.
"Damn it" he mumbled, he was about to turn over and go back to sleep with the song began again.
When I fall In love
It Will be Forever
Or I'll Never Fall In Love
Draco stood and ran to the door, he pinched him self hard "Son of a Death Eater, that hurt," He said
In a restless world
Love has ended
before it's begun
And too many
moon light kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
He opened the door, he stood and watched.
When I Give My Heart
It Will be Completely
Or I'll Never Give My Heart
Draco was mere centimeters from her. He finally remember the song, he sang softly with her.
And the moment I feel that you can feel that way too
Is when I fall in love you with
The woman had heard some one singing, she began to turn around.
"Wait," Draco called out "You are the woman of my dreams and I love you." He said suddenly breathless.
"Dragon," the woman said as she turned around.
"Angel, it was you? You are my dream girl?" Draco asked.
Before Hermione had a chance to respond Draco took her very naked body in his arms and kissed her like his life depended on it. Hermione moaned into his kiss and slowly brought her hand into his hair. The stayed like this for a while, until they could no longer breathe, they reluctantly pulled away.
"Draco, I have feelings for you, I couldn't tell you before, because I wasn't sure my self." Hermione said in breathless anticipation.
Draco swooped a still very naked and very wet Hermione in his arms and brought her to his bed.
"Um, Draco I don't think…" Hermione began.
"Shh.. Angel we aren't going to do anything, I have finally found you, and I am not letting you go. I am going to hold you thought the night," He said as he placed her on his bed.
The next morning Draco thought it had all been a dream. He was disappointed. He moved to get out of bed, but could not; there was a weight on his chest. There lying on his chest was Hermione, her brown mass of curls spread across him. He sighed, so this is what Happiness feel like he thought to him self. He never wanted it to end. Draco kissed the top of her head and whispered, "Happy Christmas Angel."
"Happy Christmas Dragon," she said in a low seductive voice. "I was wondering when you were going to wake up"
"How long have you been awake," he asked.
"Long enough to know that you snore," She said with a laugh.
"Malfoys do not snore!" Draco insisted.
"Okay, sure what ever you say," She said.
"Hey, I got you something," as Draco pulled out a box from his night stand.
"Wait, I got something for you too," Hermione grabbed Draco's wand and said "Accio Draco's present," as a present flew into the room and into her hands.
"Here," she said as she handed him his present.
"You open your first," He said as he watched Hermione open her present.
"Oh Draco, it is beautiful," She gushed, It was the most exquisite brace let she had ever seen, he was covered in Rubies and Emeralds. It was perfect.
"Read the inscription," He instructed her.
"To Angel, the best friend a Dragon could ask for," she read out loud. She began to cry. "Draco, this is the best gift anyone has ever given to me," She said as she leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips. "Now your turn," She said excitedly.
Draco quickly opened the gift, his eyes lit up. Inside the box was a name plate that said Draco Malfoy, President & CEO- Malfoy Limited.
Also, stationary and a 24 karat old pen with his initials engraved on it.
"Oh Angel, this is perfect. I can't believe you remembered. I told you I was taking over Malfoy Limited months ago!" He picked her up and swung her around.
Among all the merriment Hermione heard a soft pecking in the window.
"Hedwig? Oh my god Draco, what about Harry?" She asked in bewilderment
"What about him," he said nonchalantly.
"I have to tell him, I don't want to hurt him though," She said as she walked over and let Hedwig in, the bird dropped off the package and left right after. Hermione opened the package and reading the enclosed letter.
Mimi,
Happy Christmas! I wish more than anything I could see your face when to you open the gift, don't forget to read the inscription.
All my love,
Harry.
"Uh oh, I have a bad feeling about this," She said as she unwrapped the small box. Once it was opened she gasped at the present enclosed.
