"The Mirror of Erised." I said.

Amazing.

We looked at one another. I smiled widely and he seemed to be very happy as well.

"So I am guessing that you know what the mirror does." He asked.

"Of course I do. I have read about it in Hogwarts a History but I have never seen it for myself. It's supposed to show you your deepest desires."

I looked to Dragon again. He was beaming at me.

Why was he so smiley? I think he may be starting to like me.

Am I starting to like him?

"Come on then, let's have a look."

We walked down the stairs and approached the mirror. I wonder if this has been here since our first year.

"How long have you known this was here?" I inquired.

"A few years now."

Oh so maybe it has stayed here since.

"I found it in my third year, actually. I was wandering one night and found these underground chambers. At the end of them was the mirror. Every time I come back I see something different, however the last few times I have seen the same thing."

I looked into the mirror and saw only Dragon and myself standing there.

Strange.

Maybe it's broken.

"What do you see?" He asked.

I laughed, then told him, "It must be broken, because all I see is us."

I looked over to Dragon and realized that he was not behind me like I thought. He had moved off to the side to where the mirror could not even see him.

I looked back to the mirror and saw Dragon's arms wrap around me then he gave me a kiss on the cheek.

I placed my hand over my mouth and gasped.

I looked back at him completely dumbfounded.

"That's what I have been seeing too," He said.

Then there was silence. I didn't know if I should run away because of embarrassment or if I should snog him senseless.

What the hell is happening to me?

Is Dragon really my deepest desire?

This is so hard to fathom. I can't believe it.

Wait.

Hold up.

Did he say that he sees the same thing when he looks into the mirror?

How could this be?

I didn't notice that I was backing away from him until he reached out to me.

"Hermione, wait," he said.

I stopped and just stared. He came over to me and took hold of my hands.

"I have been wanting to tell you this for a while but have never gotten the opportunity. I have feelings for you, very deep feelings. I want to have a relationship with you, if you will let me. I want to see where this goes."

I continued to stare into his eyes. I could tell he was being truthful however something in my mind was still telling me to turn and run as fast as I could.

I have to assess this situation.

Dragon likes me. He wants a relationship with me.

He is my deepest desire, as I am his. Obviously the feelings are mutual, even if I didn't quite know about them.

But why do I want to run away? Maybe because this is Malfoy, I mean Dragon we are talking about? He has been horrible to us since year one. Not to mention I'm in a bit of a shock.

I looked up into his grey eyes. They were full of concern, maybe even sadness.

He thinks I am going to turn down his offer.

Should I?

No?

Maybe?

Oh, fuck it. What do I have to lose?

"Ok," I said quietly.

"Ok?" he asked. "Hermione I want you to be absolutely sure about this."

I took a moment to take a breath in and looked straight into his eyes. "Yes."

He didn't even respond at that. He was hugging me so tight. I closed my eyes and held him to me.

"Come on then, now that the desire is fulfilled, you will see something different in the mirror."

He let me go and took my hand to show me the mirror again.

I looked into it intently. This time I saw myself, happy, with a baby in my arms, Dragon behind me still and a ring on my finger.

I thought about it for a second then acknowledged that I really did want this. That's what I have been dreaming of all my life. To be happy with a husband and a family of my own.

The only thing was, I didn't realize I would have Dragon as my husband.

"What do you see?" This time when he asked he was standing behind me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and just held me. It was sweet. He didn't try to kiss me or force himself on me like Ron did right away.

He was just there.

Supporting me.

Holding me in his arms.

I couldn't help but appreciate the small gesture.

I could get used to this.

I broke out of my thoughts and turned so I could just see him. "I'm not going to tell you this one."

He looked down at me with a puzzled look on his face. "Oh really? And why is that?"

I glanced at his chest and smiled then looked back into his eyes. "I will let you know when it happens."

He nodded in agreement. "Then I shall do the same."

Monday came and it was time for classes again. Dragon and I agreed that we would keep our relationship a secret for the time being just to keep it special for us.

Not to mention all of the house mates that will be in an uproar if they found out.

I made my way through Herbology and Transfiguration feeling unusually lonely. I had Harry and Ron around me but for some reason I missed Dragon. I was not going to see him until after lunch in Muggle Studies. However, even though we had the same class together, there would be no reason for us to sit next to each other.

Damn.

I actually felt quite disappointed about this. Everyone would look at us like we were insane.

I decided to tell him after class I would come see him at quiddich practice again then work on the Amortentia after that if he wanted.

I continued toward the Great Hall.

After I made my way to my seat, I grabbed a sandwich and opened my novel. I read a chapter before Ginny sat down next to me.

"Hey Ginny, how is everything going?"

"It's alright, I heard about what happened with Ron in the common room. I'm sorry about him."

"Its no big deal really. We were growing apart anyway."

I must have said this cheerfully because Ginny gave me a strange look, then grinned widely.

"So, who are you seeing?" She asked intently.

I looked at her astonished. Was it that noticeable?

"Ooh! It's a Slytherin!"

"Ginny, stop that."

I leaned into her so she would be the only one to hear me.

"So who is it? Blaze? Theo?"

"Ginny, no, stop."

Ginny finally quit talking. I took a deep breath in and calmly tried to tell her quietly about what was going on.

"Ok Ginny, listen I am seeing someone but we are keeping it a secret. We don't want anyone to know. You may realize it sooner than I would tell you but either way, it has to stay on the down low for now."

"Ok Mione. You have my word."

I finished lunch quickly after my chat with Ginny and made my way to the Muggle Studies classroom.

I was the first one there.

No surprise.

I decided today to sit in the back of the room. I glanced over my notes and soon everyone else started making their way in.

Everyone except Dragon.

Class started as Professor Burbage made her way to the front. I tuned her out and started wondering to myself where Dragon was.

I heard the door silently open, then close behind me.

"Mr. Malfoy, five points from Slytherin for being tardy," the professor said from the front of the room.

I kept my head down until he rushed into the seat next to me and opened his notes.

I glanced at him knowingly and he just smiled back.

As class continued, Dragon slid his notebook over to me. It looked like we were comparing notes, however he had written a message for me to read.

I've missed seeing you today. I took a chance at being tardy just so I might sit next to you.

I looked at the paper and started writing him back.

I've missed you too. I was thinking I would come see you at practice again, then we can work on the potion after.

I slid the notebook over to him again and watched as he scribed something back.

Sounds perfect.

I did not respond after that.

I'm so excited though!

After class was dismissed, I made my way to the common room. I saw Harry sitting on the couch so I went over to him. He was reading his potions book.

I leaned over the back and saw how modified the book was. There were sections crossed out, notes added in, and spells I didn't even know existed.

As I looked on, Harry closed the book and turned to me.

"Oh, hey Mione. What are you up to?"

I smiled at him to hide my disappointment. He cheated to get that liquid luck. He should really turn that book in.

"Was just about to head to the library to study. Would you care to join?"

I knew he was going to say no.

"Oh, um I actually have to go work on the potions project with Neville, but maybe some other time."

"Ok Harry, sounds good." I smiled at him and turned to make my way up to my room.

"Hey, Mione," Harry said after me.

I turned back and looked at him again.

"I'm sorry about Ron. I really don't know what he is thinking."

I nodded to him.

"It's quite alright. I have better things ahead of me."

Harry looked shocked when I turned and made my way up the stairs. I quickly went to my room, got changed and headed out to the pitch for practice.

Once there, I sat down and took out my novel. I saw the Slytherin team going through their drills and I watched as Dragon was coaching them.

I looked up to the sky and saw that some rain clouds were moving in.

Before I knew it, practice was over and the team made their way back to the castle. I stood up from my seat and started making my way towards the exit.

"And just where do you think you are going?" I heard Dragon's voice behind me.

I turned to him and watched as he got off his broom.

"To the room of requirement of course. That potion is not going to brew itself."

I felt a rain drop come down on me and I looked to the sky.

"Well, come on then," Dragon said as he mounted his broom again and held his hand out to me.

He wanted me to get on that? Oh hell no. I hate flying.

"Its ok, really I will just walk."

"By the time you get back you will get soaked. Come on. Trust me."

I looked at him nervously then stepped into him and took his hand.

He guided me onto the broom in front of him and we started hovering.

I quickly tensed up, then I felt his hand slip around my waist.

"Its ok. I have you. Now relax."

I breathed deeply and tried to relax against him. As I did, I felt the broom slowly start making its way higher off of the stands. My heart was racing. I couldn't even believe I was on a broom let alone riding tandem with Dragon.

"Now move your body with mine."

He turned his body to the left as he made his way over the pitch and towards the castle.

Holy shit we are up high.

I'm going to have an anxiety attack.

He must have noticed me tensing up again because he wrapped his arm around me tighter. My heart beat faster as we made our way over the grounds and to the courtyard. The rain was starting to come down harder now and I couldn't help but feel almost great full for the ride back.

As we landed, the sky opened up. We were bombarded with rain. Dragon grabbed my hand as we ran for cover but it was too late. We were soaked, but we didn't care. We got under one of the archways and looked at each other.

I couldn't help but laugh. He did the same.

He moved his hand to my face and moved a wet piece of hair out of the way. I looked up into his eyes and saw that they had turned dark with lust. I stepped into him as our lips crashed together. I felt his hand on the back of my neck holding me to him and the other one went to my waist. I slid my hands over his chest and around his neck as we continued kissing. I felt his tongue on my lips and let him in. He tasted of spearmint toothpaste, something that I loved.

He pulled away enough to look at me. Our eyes met and we chuckled.

"That was amazing," he said as he leaned his forehead down to mine.

"Shall we make our way to the room of requirement then?" I asked him giving him a knowing glance.

He lit up at my question, grabbed my hand and ran with me all the way up to the seventh floor.

Needless to say, our potion never got started.

Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed it. See you soon!
