Granger Guilt I.M

Chapter 38

I am standing by an old bakery about two blocks from the Ministry. My mind is foggy and unclear. The streets of London were very wet and rainy. It was fairly late so there were not many people around. As I am walking hurrying back to my apartment after a long day of work. I notice a dirty blonde man not far ahead of me. And all of a sudden I have a wave of hatred and anger rush over me. The next thing I know I am standing over the cold rotting corpse of Cormac Mclaggen.

I wake up with a start. Tears steaming down my face. Draco sitting on the side of my bed looking like he has been trying to wake me up. "What happened?" I exclaim. "A nightmare. Are you alright?" He says genuinely concerned. "I think so. It felt so real, it was like I was really there." I answer. "Do you want to talk about it?" He inquires. "Not really. Maybe in the morning." I say."Okay. Get some rest and I will see you in the morning." Draco says standing up from the bed to leave."Draco. I don't want to be alone." I say helplessly. "Will you stay with me? Just until I fall asleep?"A small smile appears on his face. "Of course." He says quietly. He walks back over to the bed as I make room for him. "Draco please don't leave me!" I say as tears well up in my eyes."I'm not going anywhere." He whispers before kissing my forehead. It is completely silent, until right before I doze off into nothingness; I hear Draco say, "I love you Hermione."
