Chapter 14

"Hermione?" said a distant voice rang waving a hand in front of her.

Hermione pulled out of her daze as she saw the hand swinging back and forth.

"Oh sorry Harry what was that?" Hermione said taking her eyes off of the empty glass of pumpkin juice.

Harry rolled his eyes at Hermione, "I asked if you got any sleep last night, you look tired,"

Hermione had to admit that she hadn't been sleeping well for a long time, ever since the summer and the other things that had happened she seemed to have troubles with getting sleep.

"Not really, I haven't had a good night sleep for a while… I keep having this same dream over and over again and it makes me feel like I never sleep," Hermione admitted.

Ron finally came into the conversation with a mouth full of food, "Whaisf it afbout?"

"Honestly Ron can you keep your mouth closed when your eating," Hermione said snapping at him for talking with his mouth full.

Harry ignored there bickering, "You have the same dream more than once?"

Hermione nodded, "And I don't know why the dream doesn't even make sense, and it won't go away,"

Harry look away thoughtfully for a moment, "Maybe it does mean something, I kept having the same dream about the door in the Ministry of Magic. Maybe this is something like that,"

Hermione looked at Harry in amazement, "But Harry Voldemort wanted you to have those dreams he put them in your head,"

"Whose to say that someone isn't putting those dreams in your head… you know you could go ask an expert about explaining dreams but you may not like the answer,"

"Who?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Well there's Professor Trowleny," Harry said wincing.

Ron suddenly sprayed pumpkin juice everywhere bursting out laughing, "Hermione… talking to…that was good Harry," Ron said still laughing.

Hermione on the other hand thought it was far from funny.

"Harry how you even suggest that old bat; she couldn't interpret a dream even if it struck her between the eyes!" Hermione protested.

Harry rolled his eyes, "Fine it was just a suggestion,"

Hermione sighed just wanting to just drop the subject.

"Ron will you quit laughing," Hermione snapped.

Ron quickly stopped snickering and covered his mouth still smiling.

They went on through breakfast when Hermione started to feel sick. She felt a head ache coming on and began to feel extremely warm.

"You ready?" Ron said the two of them getting up.

Hermione shook her head, "I don't feel to well… I think I'll just head up to the common room,"

Harry and Ron looked at her shocked, "You're actually going to miss class?" Harry asked looking wide eyed.

Hermione rolled her eyes, "Honestly you two it's not like I can't have a day off,"

"No it's just… you never miss class if you can help it," Ron said.

"I'll be fine I just need a day to rest, I'll see you tonight," Hermione said getting up to leave the great hall.

She hurried out the door as they watched her slack jawed. She felt somewhat bad she had been avoiding them lately, that she had been avoiding a lot of people lately. She needed time. She needed someone who was like her to help her through this; she had been closer to Ron and Harry in the past because they all had the same problems. School, teachers, Voldemort, they even used to have a common enemy, Malfoy. Things were changing for her now and she needed to sort things out again.

Hermione changed her course, instead of going to her dorms she decided she needed fresh air to think. The grounds were beautiful and warm today; the usual gloomy clouds had gone to leave the blue sky in its place with warm sun rays. Hermione was the only one out with everyone else in there Tuesday classes.

She wandered aimlessly around the grounds thinking about William and Malfoy... What was it about them that connected all of a sudden? She had gone to Hogwarts with them for seven years and not even cared to know who they were. Now they were starting to become her best friends.

Her feet had led her to the green houses as she stepped inside the hot cemented room as the smell of plants filled her lungs. Green plants were everywhere, hanging on the ceiling to sitting on the floor. She sighed and started to look around; the plants were doing well, some of the magical ones Hermione recognized move swaying back in forth like they would in the wind, others moving there roots to get more comfortable.

Hermione came to the most beautiful plant she had ever seen. It was an enormous flower which pedals were orange that turned pink then finally into a soft red. She gazed amazed at the color, she had never seen this plant before! It was truly amazing. She leaned over pulling back her hair to smell the flower. The smell was good but…familiar she had smelled it before she was sure of it. She bent over lower to smell it once again.

Finally Hermione recognized the smell… It was her perfume! Hermione couldn't believe it. She had to mix many of her perfumes to create the smell. She had never known it could have come from one flower.

Hermione studied the plant more carefully this time. Her eyes grew wide when she saw a small H & D in center of the flower. She thought her mind must be playing tricks on her but it was there, getting clearer the more she starred at it.

"Granger?" A voice came from the door.

Hermione jumped as she leapt away from the flower she was intrigued with and found Malfoy starring at her.

"Malfoy… you scared me," Hermione said fumbling with her words.

He didn't respond as he smiled. Hermione was caught by surprise on being able to see a smile that was so rare. He really was just as gorgeous as girls had said him to be…

"I see you found my flower," Malfoy said walking toward the plant.

Hermione looked at him with raised eye brows, "Your flower?"

Malfoy nodded, "I grew it,"

She looked at him stunned.

"I didn't know you liked herbology," Hermione said curiously.

He shrugged, "There's a lot you don't know,"

"How did you come up with it?" She asked, "I mean the sent the colors the shape…"

He shrugged again and smiled a crooked smile, "I think I liked the smell and colors because it reminded me of someone… I started it a while back,"

Hermione felt butterflies go crazy in her stomach as she looked at him in awe.

"What are you doing out here Granger? Aren't you supposed to be in class?"

"Umm I just wasn't feeling good so I-I came out here…"She said almost stuttering, "What are you doing here?"

"Coming to water my plant, I didn't feel like going to class either," He said almost too casually.

Malfoy cast his silver gaze into Hermione's dark ones. She caught her breath as she remember what had almost happened during there last encounter. She didn't want that happening again.

"Well I better go," She said quickly, sliding smoothly past him.

She was almost to the door when she heard Malfoy's voice again.

"Granger?" He said.

Hermione stopped and paused for a moment then turned around, "Ya?"

"…Do like the flower?" He asked almost nervously.

Hermione looked at the flower then back at him and said with a smile, "I loved it."

Malfoy smiled as Hermione gave him one last look and left to go up to Hogwarts.

Malfoy gave a sigh as he watched her out the window… How am I going to make this work?...
