Chapter 4 - It Begins
Hermione looked at Draco with curiosity and fear in here eyes. Did he over hear me and Ginny talking?...Is he having the same dreams?...Does he have feelings for me or worse does he know I might have some feelings for him?...This was the most nerve wreaking position Hermione was ever in. She had never felt so much pressure on herself, especially since it was Draco Malfoy of all people who was causing it. Oh Ronald...I'm so sorry...
"...um sure...what is it?" Hermione asked in fear.
"Remember a few days ago when you handed me that parchment from Dumbledore?", said Draco.
"...yes..." Hermione was getting anxious.
"...Well..." said Draco. She looks tense.
"What about it Draco?" Hermione was getting sweaty.
"Well I have to tell you...there is a little change. I saw Dumbledore this morning. He said instead of seeing using tonight we would like to see us before we go to our morning class. He said it was urgent", explained Draco. Hmm...it seems like she was expecting me to say something.
"Oh is that all", said Hermione with some relief.
"...um...yes...were you expecting something else?" questioned Draco. She was so expecting me to ask her about the dreams and the book.
"Oh no...Of course not. Well alright then lets head down to Dumbledore's office, we have class soon as well", said Hermione as he picked up her very heavy books. Hm...I was really hoping he would have asked me.
"Here let me get those", said Draco as he picked up Hermione's books. Maybe I should have just asked her about the book and dreams.
"Oh…thanks", said Hermione as she walked over to the common room door and opened it.
Draco and Hermione walked down the corridors to Dumbledore's office. Not once did they look at each other or say a word. Last night and this morning had been more wired than they could handle. Finally they reached Dumbledore's office. Hermione and Draco stepped on to the stairs. Behind it was a very big eagle that watched them as they went up. The got off the stairs and approached the headmasters' office. Noticing that Draco had no hands free, Hermione knocked on the very big wooden door.
"Ah...Mr Malfoy, Mrs. Granger please please come in", came the voice of an old and kind man.
Hermione pushed the door open and walked inside with Draco by her side. The office was amazing. All the walls were filled with pictures of the previous Hogwarts headmasters. All were sound asleep. There were so many things in Dumbledore's office. Right by Dumbledore's desk was his phoenix. A large glowing bird. Dumbledore walked out from behind the bookshelf and found Draco and Hermione waiting for him.
"Hello Professor, how are you", asked Hermione as she helped Draco put down there books.
"Thanks", whispered Draco, as he looked into Hermione's eyes.
He is giving me goose bumps again..."No problem".
"I'm fine my dear. Now we do not have much time to discuss because you both have to head off to class. So I will get right to it", said Dumbledore as he took a seat and so did Hermione and Draco.
"Sure Professor, what did you need to see us about to urgently?", asked Draco.
"Well, as you know, tomorrow is the first big Quidditch match of the year, between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Every year I have the head boy and girl decorate the playing field in a theme picked out by the students. This year's theme is Midnight Blue, since the match will take place in the evening. Now here is the folder with all the necessary spells and such that you will need to use to set up the field. There are also some sample layouts in the folder. You may make your own if you wish, or mix and match the ones you are given. Have lots of fun with this. You two will also be opening up the match. Mr Malfoy you will be releasing the bludgers and Mrs. Granger you will be releasing the Golden snitch. Remember as soon as you release them, you must get out of the field right away. So do you two have any questions?" said Dumbledore as he handed them the folder.
"Um...no...You have let us know everything we need to know", said Malfoy while looking through the folder.
"Alright then you to better be on your way before your late", said Dumbledore.
"Bye Professor", said Hermione as she and Draco picked up there books.
"Bye", said Draco.
"Have a good day you two", said Dumbledore, as he feed his Phoenix.
Draco and Hermione quickly ran down to class. Professor Snape hated it when students were late for class. Draco and Hermione walked into class and noticed that Snape was not very happy at the moment. The class had already begun to work. No one dared to look up to see what would happen.
"Ah, Mr Malfoy, Mrs. Granger, how nice of you two to grace us with your presence", said Snape, while he handed them the parchment with today's in class work.
"Sorry Professor, we had to go see Dumbledore", Hermione said. She did not even notice that she had a tight grip on Draco's hand. Hermione was petrified of Snape. Draco was just as scared today. Neither of them had been late for his class.
"Excuse me Mrs. Granger. Do not speak unless I ask you to. 10 points from Gryffindor and Slytherin. Now both of you take your seats...and you might want to let go of each now". Snape turned around and continued his rounds in the classroom.
Draco and Hermione both looked at each other. They let go of each other hands and headed towards the desk. There was only one station left. Everyone had already paired up with someone. Draco and Hermione only had each other as an option to work with. The both of them set there books down and got to work. Draco unrolled the parchment and started to gather some of the ingredients.
"Um...I'll get what we need, you want to start setting up the equipment?" said Draco very quietly. I cannot believe I did not notice I was holding Granger's hand. I hope Pansy did not see. Draco looked over to see Pansy was giving him the dirtiest look ever. She saw, I'm never going to hear the end of this.
"Sure", Hermione said as she started to put the equipment together. I was holding Draco's hand...what will Ron think if he saw. Oh good, he's at the back, he didn't see then. Maybe I should talk to Draco about this. I mean it seems like he is having the same dreams too.
Ron looked over to see Draco and Hermione working on there assignment.
"Harry...Hermione has been acting wired lately...and spending a lot of time with Malfoy...I'm worried...you don't think something is going on do you", asked Ron quietly.
Harry looked over to see Ron looking at Hermione. Harry placed his hand on Ron shoulder. "Ron come on, he's Malfoy...Hermione would never do that to you...There head boy and girl. There probably busy with some stuff"
Ron sighed..."I hope you right", said Ron as he turned back around and got to work.
That class was probably the longest ever. It did not seem to end. Snape went around and collected everyone's papers and potions. Everyone gathered there things and were on there way out. Pansy went rushing out class with eyes as red as ever.
"Um...I guess I'll see you tonight", said Draco as he packed up his books.
Hermione looked up at him, "Yeah alright...and I'm sorry if Pansy is mad about what happened."
Draco looked over at Hermione and smiled. He placed his hand on hers. Her hands are so soft... "Don't worry about it...see you tonight." Draco rushed out before Hermione could say anything.
Ron walked over and put his arm around Hermione and gave her a kiss, "Hey M'ione, how come you were late; you have been spending a lot of time with Malfoy lately."
Hermione looked over to see Ron and Harry standing beside her, "He's head boy Ronald..." Hermione said sounding somewhat irritated, "What do you expect; we have to do some things together."
"Alright calm down...me and Harry have to go to Quidditch practice before the big match tomorrow. Ginny said she would be in the library. Bye" and Ron turned around and walked away.
"Bye Hermione..." said Harry as he gave Hermione a hug to comfort her.
"Bye..." said Hermione. She packed up her books and headed for the library. Could things get worse...what do I do...Me and Draco are getting closer and closer...I'm not being fair to Ronald and myself...and...Draco... Hermione found Ginny sitting at one of the tables in the back of the library. Hermione sat her books down and started to confide in Ginny. She was all she had right now.
"Ginny, I'm so confused", Hermione said between sobs.
Ginny grabbed some tissue and handed it to Hermione. "What happened?"
"I think Ron is getting suspicious", Hermione said as she wiped her tears.
"How did this happen", Ginny was in shock.
Hermione put down the tissue. "Well first off, after you left, Draco said he had to tell me something."
"You call him Draco", Ginny asked.
"I can't help it...just listen...he said he had to tell me something. I thought it might be about the book or even the dreams. But, it wasn't he told me we had to go see Dumbledore. He even took my books for me. When we left Dumbledore's office we had potions...with Snape and we were late...", Hermione said.
Ginny's eyes just got wider and wider. "Oh my..."
Hermione continued, "The whole time Snape was bashing us...we were holding hands...and didn't even notice."
Ginny was in complete and total shock, "Did anyone see you two?"
"Pansy I think did. She dashed out of class and was so mad. I said sorry to Draco and he placed his hand on mine and told me...don't worry", Hermione said as she picked up another tissue.
"Hermione...I think you really have to sort out you feelings. You're not being fair to yourself or Ron...and...Ma...Draco", Ginny said as she comforted her friend.
"Yeah your right...I think I will talk to Draco about this soon...look at the time...its 7...we better head to the Great Hall for dinner, the boys are probably waiting".
Hermione and Ginny packed up there things and headed for the great hall. They found the boys sitting at the table and were talking to fellow Gryffindor students. Hermione and Ginny sat down beside one another across from the boys.
Harry gave Ginny a kiss, "Hey babe...what were you girls up to?"
Ginny was putting some mashed potatoes in her and Harry's plate, "Oh...nothing...just did some work and talked"
"Ron...would you like some?", asked Hermione as she was holding the mashed potatoes.
Ron looked up at Hermione, still looking somewhat upset, "No".
Hermione set down the bowl and began to eat her meal. He is so mad...well...I do not care...Let him be stubborn. The four of them sat there talked among themselves and others while enjoying there dinner.
Back in the common room, Draco had fallen asleep on the sofa. After such a long day, he was exhausted.
He could feel the heat that was in the room when she entered. She sat down by the fireplace. He handed her a blanket and joined her. He put one hand through his hair and the other happened to end up being on her hand. He looked over and looked at her.
"Um...Draco...we need to talk about something"
Draco lifted his hand and moved closer to her, "What is it Hermione?"
He looked into her brown eyes. The heat from the fireplace was making her sweat. A drop of sweat came down her cheek and stopped by her lips. He took his hand and wiped it off. His hand slowly traced down her face and to her neck. Before she knew it, she had locked lips with him. They shared a passionate kiss with one another. His hand slowly went down her toned body. She slowly fell back and he followed her down. The kiss broke. They were looking into each other eyes.
She then broke the silence, "What now?"
He slowly started to move closer to her, trying to steal another kiss before reality would kick in.
There came a knock at the door...
Draco woke up to the sound of someone walking down the hall. They were getting closer and closer. Draco felt something hit his cheek and looked over. The dream book once again was lite up. He opened the book to find something he was not expecting...well at least not yet.
...and now it all shall beings, do not ignore it...Draco...
The door slowly began to open.
