Chapter 8 - The Letter

"You are sure this information is correct?"

"Yes it is."

"Very well. I shall deal with this matter."

"What shall I do in the meantime?"

The individual handed a package over to the other person in the room. "Keep bringing me more information and there will be more of this."

The individual took the package, "Very well. We shall keep in touch".

"Of course", said the individual, as they turned around and walked out of the room.

The other individual looked down at the package and smirked. They turned around and left with the package tightly held in there hands.

Hermione woke up the next morning, somewhat shocked and scared. Who were those people in the dreams? I couldn't see them…are they coming after me and Draco?… She looked over to see that Draco was asleep beside her on the sofa. The fire was still running, just as warm as it had been when she had came into the room the night before. She looked over at the clock. It was 10am on Sunday morning. She looked over to see Draco's arm in a plaster. She then remembered the events of the night before. Harry had walked in on her and Draco, and now knew there little secret. She was so exhausted from all that had been going on.

Hermione slowly got up, being careful as to not walk up Draco. She stood up and noticed that the dream book was in his lap. She slowly picked it up. It was still open to the page that Draco had been reading the night before. Her eyes widen as she read what was on the page.

Keep friends close and enemies closer Draco...

Hermione's heart sank. Oh, my god…he must think that Harry is going to say something. I have to go see him otherwise,I might lose him…and maybe even Draco. Hermione set the book on the coffee table. She was still in her clothes from the night before. She quickly ran upstairs, grabbed her robe, and put it on. She ran back downstairs. Draco was still asleep. She leaned in and gave him a kiss on the forehead. She ran out of the dorm and ran to the Gryffindor dorms. She said the password and walked in.

Harry looked up from his books to see Hermione standing in the common room. It was still empty, as students were still asleep.

"Hermione…what are you doing here?" Harry asked as he put down his books. "Is everything ok?"

Hermione walked over to him and sat beside him on the couch. "Harry, I need to ask you something"

Harry looked at her with curiosity. "Sure…what is it?"

Hermione would not believe she had to be asking her best friend this, but she had to be sure it was not him in the dream. She could not bare the chance of losing Harry or even…Draco.

"I had a dream, and in it two individuals were talking, but I couldn't make out who they were. They were talking about giving information to one another", said Hermione.

"Is that all? There is nothing to worry about Hermione, it was nothing", said Harry.

"There's more…," said Hermione.

Harry looked at her with fear.

"When I woke up, I found the dream book with Draco…" Hermione was cut off before she could finish.

"Did you sleep with Draco?" Harry asked with rage.

Hermione looked at him with fear, "No, not in the way you are thinking. I fell asleep on the sofa last night and so did he. That's all Harry."

"Oh…sorry…I got scared", said Harry. "Continue…"

"It's ok…When I took the book off his lap is said…Keep friends close and enemies closer Draco...So I got scared. I came to ask you if…well…if you are truly ok with all this? For all I know…that could be you in the dream", Hermione said as she looked down at the ground.

Harry put his arm around Hermione, "Listen…I know this is hard for you to believe, but Hermione, even though you are with my enemy…I would never do anything to hurt you or him. I just want you to be happy…even if it is with Draco. I know you went through a lot with Victor last year. I just want you to be happy".

Tears began to flow down Hermione's cheeks. She had gone through so much with Victor last year. He had become associated with Lucius Malfoy and Voldemort. Hermione found out and would not stand for it. So she left him knowing that he still loves her to this very day. A little bit after they had broke up, she found out she was pregnant. She decided not to keep the baby because it would be a danger to her and the baby. It was the hardest choice she made.

Hermione's tears slowly began to stop. "Harry, can you please to me a favor?"

"Sure", said Harry.

Hermione was so scared to ask but it was the only way to make sure Draco knew that Harry was on there side.

"Can…can….can you please talk to Draco, and tell him what you just told me?" Hermione looked back down. She was scared to meet her eyes with Harry.

Harry pulled her face up and smiled, "If it makes you happy, let's go".

With that being said, Hermione jumped up with Harry's hand in hers. They left the Gryffindor common room and headed to the head dorms. Hermione said the password and they went in.

Draco was coming down the stairs from just taking a shower. He got to the bottom and stopped. He did not know what to say. Him and Harry had never had a proper conversation.

"Um…Draco…Harry has something to tell you", said Hermione as she walked over to Draco with Harry beside her.

Draco looked at Hermione curiously.

"…Alright…" said Draco.

Draco led the three of them to the sofas. Hermione sat down with Draco and Harry sat across from them. Hermione looked at Draco and took his hand. Oh…what about Ron…what do I say to him…I do not even know who I love.

Harry looked at both of them.

"Look Ma…Draco. You and I have had our differences since the beginning and I know that we will never be the best of friends. But, I have been talking to Hermione for the past few days. From what I see, I can tell you both care for each other very much. I want Hermione to be happy. She went through a lot last year with Victor Krum. If she is happy with you then I am happy. Just take good care of her", Harry told Draco.

Draco looked over at Hermione, who was smiling. "Thanks Potter".

Harry smiled. "Well, I better go. Ron will be looking for me".

"Wait Potter. What about Ron?" asked Draco.

"What about Pansy?" Harry asked back

With that said, Harry said bye to the two and left. Draco gave Hermione an hug and kissed her on the cheek.

"So, I'm guessing, that you found the dream book this morning", said Draco as he got some things together.

Hermione blushed. "Yeah, I did. Where are you off to?"

"Oh…I'm going to the library to work on some things with Blaise, Raven and…Pansy…then I have Quidditch practice", Draco said slowly.

Hermione looked at him with a frown, "Oh…alright…Well I'm going to spend the day here studying. I have lots to catch up on. I'll probably be studying with Harry, Ginny and Ron."

Draco smiled, "Have fun".

Her gave her a kiss and left out of the common room.

Hermione went upstairs and took a nice long shower. When she got out, she went straight to the library with Harry, Ron and Ginny. They four of them sat there the entire day catching up on homework. It was nearly midnight when Hermione got back to the common room. There she found Draco sitting by the fireplace waiting for her.

"Hey, how was the study session", asked Draco.

Hermione went over and sat beside him. "Fine, but I'm so tired".

Draco looked over at Hermione. "Well then go to sleep, we can talk tomorrow."

Hermione looked over at Draco and gave him a kiss. "Thanks."

Hermione and Draco both went up to there rooms and went to sleep straight away.

The next few weeks of school was packed with work. Snape and been giving them in class assignments that were to be done by the end of every class. Along with two rolls of parchment every week on a topic that he assigned. Binns, there history teacher was giving them quizzes every class to make sure everyone was up with there readings. McGonagall had been giving them many group assignments to do. These are just some of there classes. Along with this and all the other extra classes Hermione was taking, she was swamped with work. She also had her head duties. She had made excuses for her friends that she and Draco discuss everything in the evening. That allowed her to spend more time with him.

Draco and Hermione had become closer over the past few weeks. They were getting to spend time with each other every night. Sometimes during the day, they would go to Hogsmeade to spend some time together. They were both growing fond of each other. They still were confused about there feelings. Pansy and Ron had no idea still.

By now, it was the end of October, and the Halloween ball, called, The Midnight Fright, was coming up. With all the work everyone has had lately, no one even noticed it was coming up.

Harry and Ginny were going together and Hermione was going with Ron. Draco and Hermione had been talking about going together but they knew they could not do that.

There were 4 hours until the ball. Hermione was in the common room just finishing one of her essays for Divination. She and Ginny were going to get ready together. Draco was going over to Blaise so they could get ready together as well.

Draco came down the steps, with his dress robes in hand. He set them on a chair by the door, went over, and joined Hermione.

"Hey…why don't you put those books away and spend some time with me before I have to go", said Draco as he pulled the books out of Hermione's hands.

Hermione looked at him and smiled, "Um…nope."

Draco grabbed the books and put them on the floor, "Don't make me have to force you".

Hermione fell back on to the sofa, "Are you threaten me Ferret?"

Draco looked at Hermione. He grabbed her hands and pinned them over her head. He was now on top of her. He slowly moved down and began to kiss Hermione slowly. They stayed in a passionate kiss for a minute. Draco then slowly back away.

"Not threaten you", said Draco. He slowly moved down to her ear and whispered, "just tempting you Granger".

Draco then moved down and slowly began to kiss her neck. He had released her hands which were now being run threw Draco's hair. Draco continued to make his may down. He then looked up at her and began to unzip her sweater. She looked up and him. She slowly got up and sat in his lap. Her sweater now on the floor, she slowly began to kiss him, while at the same time she unbuttoned his shirt. Neither of them had no idea what was happening. Draco slowly removed the top she was wearing, which he had gotten for her. Hermione then took off the shirt that Draco was wearing and threw it on the ground. Draco was moving his hands around all over her body. He was laying there with no shirt on and Hermione was in just in her bra. She slowly then began to move her hands to his belt buckle. She slowly began to open it.

There came a knock at the door.

Hermione and Draco looked at each other and released what was going on. They both got up off the sofa and quickly put there shirts back on. Hermione walked over to the door to see who it was.

"Hermione, it's me, Ginny. Open up. I have been standing here for 5 minutes", said Ginny.

Hermione glanced back to see if Draco was dressed. He was just finishing buttoning his shirt.

Hermione opened the door and let Ginny in, "Hey, sorry about that…um…we….were…um"

"We were both upstairs. We didn't hear you knock", said Draco quickly and he picked up his dress robes. "Well I'll see you girls later" and Draco left.

"Alright well, let's go get ready. They boys said they will be here around 7 to pick us up", said Ginny as they walked upstairs.

Back in the Slytherin common room, Draco had just arrived to be greeted by Blaise.

"Hey man, what took you so long?" asked Blaise as they went up to the boys dorms.

"Oh…nothing…Just a little make out session with Granger", said Draco.

Blaise laughed, "Just as I thought. So what is happening? Have you made a decision yet, about when you're going to break up with Pansy?"

Draco began to take out his dress robes out of its bag, "I was thinking before the Christmas holidays, that way she won't have to see me for 3 weeks."

"Yeah, I guess that's the best idea. What about Granger? When is she going to tell Weasel?" asked Blaise.

"I don't know", said Draco as he put on his robes. "We haven't talked about this yet."

Blaise looked at him with confusion, "Haven't talked about it? You guys have been seeing each other for 2 months and haven't talked yet?"

"Well no…We have just been spending time together, to get to know each other better", said Draco as he finished putting on his robes.

Blaise walked over to grab his wand and put it in his robes, "Up to you man. Well let's get going. The girls are probably waiting".

The great hall was completely different. The ceiling was now full of flying bats and pumpkins everywhere. Their was thunder and lighting flashing in the hall. Their were tables set on the sides of the great hall for everyone to sit at and food in the middle of them. The teachers table was at the front of the hall in its usual spot. All the students began to come into the hall as it slowly began to fill up.

Draco sat at the front of the hall with Pansy, Blaise and Raven, Blaise's girlfriend and Draco's friend. He looked at the back of the hall to see if Hermione was coming in. He spotted Harry and Ginny, and then noticed Hermione with Ron. Hermione was wearing a halter cut red dress with silver patterns. She looked over at Draco and smiled. They had gotten her dress on one of there visits to Hogsmeade. He smiled and turned back around to his table.

The ball went until about midnight. All the students began to file out around 12. Draco and Hermione stayed back so they could talk to Professor Dumbledore.

"Ah, Mr Malfoy, Mrs. Granger, excellent job. I am very impressed by the turn out this year. You two are doing an amazing job as head boy and head girl. I cannot believe what you transformed the great hall into for this occasion. Keep it up, you are both doing great", said Dumbledore.

The three of them walked to the end of the hall. Chatting along the way about what other events could possibly be coming up.

Dumbledore stopped at the end of the hall. "One thing to both of you before you go, the night I saw you two in the common room, I know it has been a long time now, but, I must warn you, you two are doing this at your own risk. Please be careful".

Draco looked at Hermione and took her hand.

"Don't worry Professor. We are", said Draco.

With that said, they both parted from Dumbledore.

They got back to the common room. They both began to head upstairs to there rooms. Hermione was so exhausted.

Draco grabbed Hermione's hand and said, "Wait, I have a surprise for you".

Hermione looked at him curiously, "What is it?"

Draco led her to his room and opened the door.

The room was lite with candles, and the room was filled with rose peddles. Draco waved his wand and slow music began to play. He took Hermione into his arms and pulled her close.

"Just because we didn't go to the ball together doesn't mean we can't enjoy a dance together", Draco said as he and Hermione slowly began to sway to the music.

Hermione leaned in and kissed Draco. Both were standing there locked in a passionate kiss. Draco slowly moved his hands to the back of Hermione's dress and he slowly began to unzip it. Hermione took off Draco's dress robes and unbuttoned his shit. Before they knew it, they were on Draco's bed with nothing on. Hermione moaned in pleasure as Draco kissed her all over.

The room was lite with scented candles that smelled of lavender. All that could be seen was the moonlight coming from the very small window in the room. Draco pulled Hermione closed to him to keep her warm.

"I love you", said Draco as he planted a kiss on Hermione's lips.

Hermione pulled up the bed covers, to cover her and Draco's very naked bodies. "I love you too".

"You know if my father were to ever find out that I banged a mu...you, he would kill me", said Draco as he kissed Hermione neck, and listened to her moans.

Hermione got up and slowly got on top of Draco. She slowly allowed him to enter into her. She gently kissed Draco's neck and moved her way down. "What he doesn't know won't hurt him". They continuously tried new positions, which gave them all sorts of different pleasures. Eventually, both being very exhausted, and laid down beside each other.

Hermione gave Draco a kiss and asked, "Will you leave me if your father finds out?" Why does this situation seem so familiar…like I have gone through it before…wait…is it another dream coming true?

Draco looked into Hermione's brown eyes and ran his hand through her hair, "What do you think?"...

Hermione looked up and kissed Draco. She slowly fell asleep in his arms. Draco went to pick up his wand to clear the room of the candles. He looked over at his night table and noticed a letter that appeared there. He picked it up and noticed the writing. I know this writing. Where have I seen it before? Draco slowly and quietly opened up the letter being careful not to wake Hermione.

Draco,

I have been informed that you are up to something's that you know I would never approve of. Do not make me do something that will hurt you in the end. You know you are not to associate with Mudbloods, especially Hermione Granger. Now I know she is head girl, but Draco, keep it at that. Nothing more. I will be coming to visit you soon to see what you are up to, and do not think I do not know what you have been up to. I am watching you…

Your Father,

Lucius Malfoy

Draco looked over at Hermione. She was sleeping so peacefully. She looked so happy, and he was happy with her. He was not going to take her happiness away from her like that. What now?
