Imperiused (Dramione)

The Nightmare

Draco Malfoy awoke the next day at the crack of dawn due to the whimpers of Hermione Granger who was still sleeping on her bed. She's having another nightmare, he thought, knowing full well about her sleeping episodes weeks ago.

He quickly stood up from his chair, then moved towards her. He sat on the bed and gently shook her shoulder to wake her up from her nightmare.

"Hermione, wake up!" He called urgently.

"Please stop!" Her sleeping form begged. "Don't do this, Malfoy!" She cried, tears flowing down her cheeks.

Draco's face paled, he knew what she was dreaming about. He remembered how she tried fighting the Cruciatus Curse he casted on her months ago. Her eyes begged him to stop but he didn't!

"I'm so sorry, Granger, please wake up," he urged her, tears now flowing on his face too. Even if he Obliviated her, her subconscious was replaying the horrible incident inside her head. "Please, wake up," he pleaded, remorse engulfing him.

It took some time before Hermione awoken, this was the first time she dreamt about Malfoy r****g her. Her stress last night probably triggered her brain to unearth the Obliviated memories.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Draco Malfoy leaning over her. She was startled to see that there were tears on his grey eyes. He kept saying he's sorry to her while he cupped her face in his hands. He must have known what her nightmare was about.

"Malfoy," she whispered uncertainly to the blonde wizard. She could feel the remorse radiating from his body, he was shaking slightly as he held her.

"Granger, I'm so sorry," he choked out when he realised she was staring back at him.

She just stared at him, not knowing what to say.

"Tell me what you want and I'll do it, anything at all," he promised her. "If you want me to disappear from your life so you would not hurt anymore, I will. Tell me what you want that will make you happy again," he told her emotionally.

Hermione swallowed the lump in her throat, she was trying not to cry again. She couldn't take her eyes off his grey ones that was filled with so much despair.

"Weaselette is right, I don't deserve you and you should be with her brother instead. I will just ruin your reputation and our child will be hated once he is born if he carries my name," he lamented.

"If you want I'll k**l myself, if that will make you happy and you could be with him in peace," he added, knowing that death was better rather than seeing her and their child with another man, and more importantly, they would not be tainted by him anymore. He knows it was a cowardly thing to do, but he'd rather give up than to fight for her if that will make her life return to normal.

Hermione's eyes widen at his last sentence. She would not wish death on anyone, whatever horrible things they have done.

"Just tell me and I'll do it," he promised her.

"No, Malfoy," Hermione said quietly. "I won't let you k**l yourself and abandon us," she added firmly.

She just knew from the way he looks at her that he will do anything she says to ease his remorse from violating her. She also feels that he will do anything to make it right for her and their chid's sake.

Draco kept her stare, not wanting to let go of the witch. He feels that even his soul is breaking for the hurt he caused her.

"I'm so sorry, please just tell me what I can do to somehow ease your pain," he pleaded, still not letting go of her face.

"Kiss me, Draco," she whispered, wanting to verify both her feelings and his. Their closeness envelopes her, her hormones screaming at her to fulfill her desires. She blames it on her pregnancy, but the need to be closer to him excites her.

He stared at her wide eyed when he heard those words from her, not expecting it.

"You said you will do anything for me," Hermione prodded. She needed to know if he really wanted her and will do anything she tells him to.

He nodded slightly, before lowering his lips slowly to hers. Both of their faces drenched with their own tears.

Hermione placed one of her hands on the back of his head and the other on his shoulder. Draco supported his weight on one of his elbows as he moved closer to kiss her softly.

He kissed her on the lips for only a few seconds but the electricity coursing through their veins was unmistakable. When he was about to move away from her, she firmly held him back.

"Don't ever think of k*****g yourself again, promise me," she ordered sternly.

"If that's what you want, I won't," he answered her, feeling overwhelmed that she doesn't want him to die.

"I haven't forgiven you yet, but our child needs you and I won't allow you to abandon us. I want you to fight for us and prove yourself worthy," she told him firmly. Then to Draco's surprise, she kissed him on his lips, sealing his promise.

She continued holding his head firmly, kissing him fervently. He kissed her back as if his life depended on it. He moved so that he was also now lying on the bed, Hermione pulling him closer to her.

Their kiss lasted for several minutes, their bodies entangled. They only stopped when they heard a knock from the door.
