Déja Vu

Chapter 1

The Slytherin boy woke up in a shock. Was that a dream? How long was he asleep to dream so much detail? It couldn't possibly be a dream. It all felt so real. He remebered feeling ecstatic when he saw Ginny and he remembered how heartbroken Draco looked when he was with Hermione after. He remembered clearly how he came back to fight with Hermione and Draco and watched her take the Killing Curse once again. He remebered how he was going to have to take some time to convince Draco the calendar was broken. He'd pull out all the photos and show them to Draco. It was just moments ago he was at the doorway of Hermione's room and was about to call Draco for the fifth time to eat, wasn't it?

He looked around him. He was in his room at Hogwarts. Was it really a dream? It had to be. He could hear Pansy's shrieking voice from downstairs. Either three years were a dream, or he was having a nightmare now. Question was, which time was a dream? He dragged himself out of the bed, dreading the answer he was going to get. Suddenly his Dark Mark began to tingle lightly, slowly morphing into excruciating pain.

He stumbled out of bed and made his way down to the common room where he found Blaise, who had just come from his room. Theo glanced around. Déja Vu, he thought.

He didn't waste any time like he had in his ... dream? He marched up to Draco's room and pounded on the door. It opened a second later. "You're so damn lucky I was already on my way down."

"Find Ella, tell her where you're going and then come find us at the Gryffindor tower."

Theo didn't give Draco a chance to say anything. Blaise shrugged at him and followed Theo out. "Why are we going there?"

"We're going to pay Granger a midnight visit."

Blaise rolled his eyes. "It's way past midnight, Theo. Do you think it has something to do with Granger?"

Theo nodded at continued walking quite fast. "I know it has everything to do with her."

Blaise was absolutely confused, but followed Theo anyway. They rounded the corner and Theo groaned. The Fat Lady glanced at him. "Slytherins! Slytherins in the hall!"

Theo rolled his eyes. "May we please speak to Miss Granger?"

The Fat Lady was surprised. She smiled at the boys. "Such manners. But I cannot let you in without the password."

Theo groaned. "Please? It's important."

The Fat Lady would have answered if Ginny had not opened the portrait that seconds. Theo smiled brightly. "Hello, Weaslette."

She gave him a funny look and he realized they weren't even friends of friends as yet. He probably looked mad. "I suppose you're looking for Hermione?"

"Well, yes actually. I know you know about, you know."

Ginny frowned. "How?"

Theo sighed. "Please call her or let us in."

Ginny sighed as well. "Hermione!"

They heard a distant yell. "Coming!"

Hermione came down the stairs and was surprised to see two out of her three Slytherins at the doorway. "What's going on? Is everything alright? Where's Malfoy?"

Theo fought the urge to tease her like he had in his ... I suppose he's calling it a dream now. "He's fine, just delayed. I know-" Theo broke off as they heard Malfoy,

"I'm sorry I woke you, Ell, but Theo's looking for me and you didn't want to stay alone in the common room, did you? ... I don't know what he wants ... no, it's the Gryffindor tower ... yes that's where Granger is." They heard an amused laugh. "Pretty? Okay if you say so ... what?! No!" Theo heard a mumbled "maybe" as they rounded the corner and Draco shushed Ella.
