Chapter 9

~dream~

"I mean I get Viktor is a Durmstrang but he's not the enemy...it's all about being together!" I whined.

"Darling, stop worrying about it! Please!" His voice mumbled.

"I'm sorry!" Draco wrapped his arms around me.

-flash-

"You can't be...Draco...you-!"

"Hermione...I didn't want to be...I want a normal life...but I can't! I have to protect my family too!"

He pulled his sleeve down to cover up the dark mark that was covering his arm.

"But...they hate me...and my best friend...and they'll kill us both!" He leapt forward and grabbed me.

"It won't get that far...if they try to hurt you I promise you i'll stop them!" He kissed me and then pushed me on the bed and I giggled...and...

What the fuck...that was a little too real for my liking. Tea...I need tea. I pushed the covers of my and left my room...unfortunately for me Draco was already in the kitchen and I felt my cheeks heating up.

"What are you doing up so early?" His groggy voice asked me.

"I had this dream and it's rattled me a little bit...mostly because I'm confused as to why I keep having these dreams...it's the fourth one now and...!" I stopped talking, realising who I was talking too.

"Do you wanna talk about them? I've had some pretty weird dreams in the past..."

"I guess...it's just they feel more like a memory than a dream...like I'd been oblivi-!" I started and Draco dropped his glass and it shattered. "Oh my god...You made me forget!" I blurted.

"W...what? What are you talking about?" His voice shook as he cleaned up the glass from the floor.

"I've had my memories altered before and...this happened...I had a dream about it and...we...You and I...!" As I was talking memories started popping up...like the charm was being removed. Draco made me forget to protect me. I couldn't breathe...everything came back like a bloody tidal wave...years of my life...important moments.

"Fuck!" Draco muttered. "How much do you remember?" He asked me.

"Everything...I think!" I mumbled.

"Hermione...I...I'm sorry!" He stepped forward but I stepped back.

"I have to go...I have to go!" I walked out the kitchen and right out the door of the dorm. To be honest I didn't care where I went, I just needed to go somewhere. I ended up in the Gryffindor common room. I started banging on Ginny's dorm room door and she came out looking angry.

"What Hermione...it's 3 in the morning!" Her face dropped when she saw mine. "What's wrong?" She asked me.

"Did you know...or did he-!" I started but she interrupted me.

"Shit...fuck... stay here tonight...I will tell you everything with Luna tomorrow!" Ginny pulled me into her dorm and we both got into the bed...it was a tight squeeze but neither of us cared.

In the morning Ginny pretty much dragged me to breakfast. I didn't want to go...I really wasn't hungry and my hair was messy. I had thrown it up in a ponytail just to at least keep it out the way...FUCK WHAT WAS I GOING TO TELL RON!

I was sitting staring at the food in front of me not quite sure what to do. Luna had come and sat with us but she just looked at me. A couple of times I glanced up and saw Draco looking at me and mouthing 'I'm Sorry' but each time I just looked down again. At some point Seamus sat in the seat in front of me and started talking but to be honest I just ignored him as well.
