A/N: Ok here's chapter 4 and chapter 5 is shortly coming I just need to edit a couple of things ok Enjoy!!

The italics are Ron's voice

-----------------------------------------

Recap: Last thing I remember seeing is both Draco and Ron, then I assumed I passed out. I assume this because I'm on a boat, with Ron, and he's smiling at me.

"Ron? How are you here?" I half whispered in bewilderment, actually how am I here? Although I have to admit it's beautiful out here on this boat…

"I'm here because I'm dead and you're here… Because I uh- knocked you out, Hermione your dreaming right now, this is the only way I could actually talk some sense into you."

Wait! "You knocked me out?!"

"Relax, Draco caught you, and he brought you home and he's looking after you."

"WHAT? RONALD BILIUS WEASLEY I'D KILL YOU IF YOU WEREN'T- already dead… How can you act so casual, you've been dead for four years!"

"Hermione, that is exactly why I can be so casual, I've been dead for four years, but you still haven't gotten over me… why?" He looked away, I knew he was sad but- I just- ugh! And…

"What do you mean why?" Is he serious? "You were murdered; you used yourself for a human shield that's why you are gone, and you aren't supposed to be gone! You're supposed to be here! You're supposed to be-" he interrupted softly, "Stop, either way I wouldn't be here."

Why- why would he say that? I looked up in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"I was dying Hermione, I was dying."

At first, I didn't know what to say… What do you say, when your dead husband who was murdered tells you that?

"Ron if this is a joke-"

"It's not a joke Hermione I had Ghost Sickness, and if I didn't die for being Harry's Human shield I would have been dead anyway. I remember finding out, and I didn't know what to do, it was six months before the last battle, I was in pain, I was in so much pain, and it would have gotten worse you know that."

He put his arms around me and pulled me in for a cuddle, he rubbed my shoulders and stepped back. "But you still could have told me…" I whispered softly nearly on the verge of tears

"No, I couldn't, you would tried, every kind of medication. I would have been taken off of the Order, it would have been a nightmare. I would have died a sick weak man, instead I made sure, I made sure, that you and Kaylee were going to be alright, because Harry, Harry was our only shot of killing him you know that."

"You know, you don't how much it grieves me to say- that you're right…" I laughed and Ron whipped my tears away, "How did you contract it anyway?"

"Previous battle, someone cursed me… Couldn't be helped…"

"Did anyone else know?"

"Yeah, Dumbledore, my healer of course, and Ginny she was my emergency contact…"

"Oh…" I thought about all the years without him, and I started thinking that maybe Ron was right I wouldn't have let him go, but if I saw him die as what he described a weak sick man, it would have killed me and devastated Kaylee either way I lost him…

"Stop being so sad all the time it doesn't suit you."

"Guess you're right… You seeing anyone, or can you see someone in wherever you are?"

"Yeah we can, and uh, Moaning Murtle, she's actually a lovely girl."

"Ronald…"

"I'm sorry, couldn't resist that one, but yeah, it gets lonely sometimes, so I do see someone…"

"I guess, then I should see someone too."

"Yes, you should, and I happen to have a bloke in mind."

"Really? Who?"

"You'll see Hermione-"

"HERMIONE!" I woke, up to see Draco, who looked like he was the one about to faint

"Dr-Draco?"

"Thank all things magic, are you alright?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm alright… what a weird dream, how long was I out?"

"Well let's see you fainted around 2 o'clock and now it's 6, so 4 hours."

"4 hours, oh great…"

"Relax sleeping beauty, after you didn't wake up for the first hour I brought you back home, it was only when you started crying in your sleep, that's when I got nervous. Bad Dream?" he asked, why is it always Draco? Poor thing again it's been the same since Ron died he always taking care of me always…

"It wasn't a bad dream, it was weird though, it felt real…"

"If it makes you feel better I've been having weird dreams too." He smirked, it's funny seeing him smirk he rarely does it anymore… I wonder whom Ron was trying to set me up with… "Listen Hermione," Draco continued, "If uh you want me to leave I'll understand…"

"Uh, no wait!" why am I yelling?, "Have some dinner before you go, I know you take care of Kaylee and me, but I've never actually seen you eat anything so… pizza?"

Draco smiled in a surprised way, "Yeah, sure… That'd be great…"

Why is he so surprised? He practically lives with us! Ugh boys! The minute they hit 14 they never grow up… Well the Pizza finally got here, and Draco and I are actually having a conversation.

"Today, seems to be the longest day of my life… It started out embarrassing and got even more embarrassing…" I laughed with Draco, there's something about pizza that just completely brightens up my mood.

"Well, I have to say I haven't seen you laugh or talk like this in a while and I have never seen as much of you as I have today." He smiled softly

"Pervert."

"That my dear friend is hardly fair, when you scream, I ran into your room because I-I thought, that- never mind." He stopped smiling, and suddenly I remembered what today was, the anniversary of Voldemort's demise but also of Ronald's death…

"You thought I had the dream again?"

"Sorry I didn't want to bring that up…"

"It's ok, I don't mind, at least not anymore… Actually I haven't had that dream in a while."

"Lucky you…"

"You have?" I asked concerned, Draco looked away, "Why didn't you say anything?"

"Because you've been more alive in these last couple of days… but truth is I've been having that dream more frequently of you and the other one…"

"You never actually told me what the other dream was… You know mine, It was that day in the Hospital Mrs. Wea- Molly -gosh that's still hard calling Ron's Mum by her first name- had Kaylee, and I was in recovery from some type of jinx and you, well gave me Ron's wedding ring, and-"

"And you said, 'Say it, Draco, if you don't say it, I won't believe it'… yeah I remember… They feel like dreams right? But they're actually all fact aren't they?"

"Yes… Yea they are. Draco?" I looked up to face him, everyone thinks that Draco has his father's pale grey eyes, when they're actually more blue like his mother's.

"Yeah? I'm sorry." He sighed

"Stop apologizing all the time, c'mon let's talk about how exactly did you walk in on Blaise and Millie?" I laughed off the previous topic

Draco laughed, "I was SO hoping you forgot about that, well you see…"

Rambled, on from topic to topic, until around 10 o'clock when we ran out of pizza and we were getting to that point, you know the point in a conversation where you either come to an uncomfortable silence or a comfortable one. The scary thing is, ours Draco and mine was very comfortable, we could just smile at each other without squirming, without trying to come up with some bullshit topic that probably consisted of the weather. We just sat across from each other in silence, and that scares me, that really scares me, because I'm still smiling, and I don't feel that awkward uncomfortable silence, and I don't know why… What really scares me about all of this is that, well he's smiling too, and we're both getting up.

"Hermione."

"Draco."

The eye connection again, and the silence. We walked over to my fireplace.

"Well," Draco sighed, "I should get going… I wish I could say I'm truly sorry about Krum, but that would be a lie." He leaned down and kissed me on the cheek like he always did, except this time he, I guess the correct word would be lingered, he lingered, and it felt nice…

…………………..

HELP!

"Well, Draco, tonight try and have some good dreams… Especially since you're leaving for Venice tomorrow night, ok?" I stepped back only a little.

"Thank you Hermione. And you too, you'll owl right?" he whispered

"Of course, Night Draco."

"Night Hermione."

He threw some Floo powder into the fireplace and went home, meanwhile I proceeded to have a nervous break down.

I mean really what the hell is wrong with me?! I had Viktor Krum break up with me, if you can even call it that, then I fainted, then Ron talked to me from the grave (actually in my dream…) and now Draco Malfoy decided to kiss me on the cheek which is usually normal, but not when he lingers even if it was only for a moment! He's NOT Supposed to LINGER at ALL!!!!

Why did my parents have to be dentists? Why couldn't they be psychiatrists instead? Then at least I would know what is going on in my weird little head.

not good… Not good. And Definitely NOT GOOD!

I wonder what he's dreaming about… AH! I didn't say that… let alone think it… How long is he going to be in Venice again? YES! Two Months!

Wait… Two Months? That's horrible! I'm going to miss him… I guess I better make a new list for the next two months…

Hermione get a grip! Oh man this is going to be a very LONG two months… I feel so confused, I thought that Draco and I were just- we could be- no we're just friends! Yes, but we could be more… What a mess…

Well, I'm off to bed… I knew this day would be long… what the hell am I going to do for two months? Bleh Good night!
