Chapter 28

.
Previously-

Draco softly shook my shoulder to wake me up.

"Mione, we're here," he told me.

"I'm awake," I muttered.

He set me on my feet and removed the blindfold.

I gasped.

Now-

Hermione

I gasped.

A beautiful garden filled my view. Roses, Pansies, Lilys, Petunias, Naked Ladies, Sunflowers, you name it, the flower was there. A large hedge surrounded the garden and a large pond was in the middle. A weeping willow in the corner had a large tree house with a window that overlooked the entire garden.

Draco put an arm over my shoulders and kissed my cheek.

"It's beautiful," I whispered.

"Did it myself," he told me.

"This is amazing!" I exclaimed. "It's beautiful!"

"Then go," he whispered.

I grabbed his hand and ran.

Draco (five hours later)

Hermione was leaning on my shoulder asleep. We were sitting by the pond under the stars. I laid back in the grass with Hermione and looked up.

The stars shone brightly as I gazed up. Hermione snuggled closer to me and I let my thoughts wonder.

I've only had Hermione for a month but she has changed my life. Before I got her, I almost never left my room unless my mum begged me. When I did, I was out here.

I looked at the stars and fount the constellations. The big dipper, the little dipper, and after a bit Draco. I smiled at my stars.

Hermione shivered next to me snapping me from my thoughts. She snuggled closer to me. I sighed, picked her up, and carried her to my tree house.

When I opened the door I was met with the dark, cabin style room. I set Hermione on the king sized bed and laid next to her. She snuggled up to me and slept on.

She was the first person I ever brought here. She is the first person I've ever slept in this bed with. I wouldn't have it any other way. I wrapped my arms around her, and let her snores pull me into a deep sleep.

Hermione (that night)

"It's funny you thought you could run," he laughed at me.

He slammed my body to the bed.

"Baby, you can never escape me," he muttered, moving on top of me.

I struggled to move away but he held me to the bed. He held me down and forced the potion into my mouth-

I shot up on the bed with my body covered in cold sweat. I was trembling and I knew Draco felt it. His eyes opened.

"Mione?" He muttered groggy. "What's wrong?"

"N..nothing's wrong," I stuttered, trying to control my trembling. "Just go back to sleep."

He did the opposite. He sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"Was it a nightmare?" He asked.

I nodded lightly.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" He asked.

"No... can I get some fresh air?" I asked.

"Yeah, don't wonder too far," he replied.

I nodded and stepped out of the bed. I went outside and sat at the foot of the tree.

Ron was right... I never really could escape him. Even if he died he would haunt my dreams. He would always be there and I could do nothing. I felt a single tear run down my face but I quickly wiped it away. I sat outside for a bit but a breeze made me cold. Sighing, I went back up to the tree house.

When I went in I saw Draco sitting up on the bed. He looked up at me.

"Are you okay?" He asked quietly.

"Yeah, I'll be fine," I muttered, crawling back on the bed.

He laid next to me but didn't touch me. Does he know what I dreamt about? I got over my fear and moved into his arms.

"I love you," I whispered.

"I love you. Remember, if you need to talk about anything, I'm here," he told me.

"I know," I said. "Now go to sleep."

He laid his head down and closed his eyes. I knew when he fell asleep but I stayed up. I stayed awake until I couldn't possibly stay awake any longer.

~*~*~

Ron dragged me across the rough stone floor. He was just about to use the cruciatus when a platinum blond boy ran up and punched Ron square in the jaw.

I shook awake again but this time I wasn't scared. I was in Draco's arms. I looked up at him to see he was awake.

"Hey," I greeted.

"Hey... how'd you sleep?" He asked.

I hugged him tighter.

"Good."

"How do you feel?" He continued.

"Relaxed and happy," I replied, smiling.

"Good," he smiled back.

"And hungry... we didn't eat yesterday..." I muttered.

He smirked and jumped of the bed, scaring me.

He walked to the cupboard and tossed me an Apple. I started munching on it.

"So... Will you tell me what your nightmare was about?" He asked.

I tensed.

"Hermione, if you tell me I might be able to help you," he told me.

"I don't... I don't..." I stuttered. "I... I can't..."

"It's alright, Hermione," he told me. "Get your shoes on, we need to head back."

I nodded and slipped my shoes on my feet. I followed Draco down the ladder. He grabbed my hand hand led me out of the garden.

"We need to go home. It is a really long walk," he told me.

"Alright," I muttered.

"When you get tired, let me know," he told me.

"I'll be fine Draco," I muttered.

We set off into the forest.
