Draco Malfoy Imagines

Lies pt. 4

Draco's eyes opened slowly. His blurry vision made out the white ceilings of the hospital section of Hogwarts.

"What?"
He thought to himself.

He turned his head to the side and saw Hermione sitting at his bedside. She was sound asleep. She looked so peaceful.
Draco shifted once again under the sheets and the bed creaked. Hermione sat up straight, wide awake.

"What's wrong?? Oh thank goodness, you're awake! Are you okay? Are you feeling alright Draco?"

Draco let her finish talking. Then he cleared his throat and swallowed. He turned to look at her again.

"I'm alright."

"Draco. You are noT alright. Something very bad just happened to you. This is serious. What's been going on with you? I know you've been holding something back."

Draco closed his eyes and sighed.

"You'll think I sound crazy."

"No I won't."
Hermione replied.

"Fine.
Ever so often I have these visions- in my mind. Horrible things. Sometimes they're flashbacks from my when I served as a Death Eater. Sometimes they're awful scenarios-

but sometimes it's all black, and the only thing I can hear is the sound of His voice. Echoing in my brain. It hurts, it brings physical and mental pain.
That day that you helped me in the hallway- that was one of those visions.

Hermione I don't understand it. If He is gone, then why am I still hearing his voice?"
Draco said.

Obviously concerned, and obviously confused, Hermione sat back in her chair.

"Well the flashbacks to before the war are normal. Even the terrible scenarios are typical for someone who had suffered so much."

She then looked up straight into his eyes.

"But what I can't figure out, is why you're hearing His voice." She finished.

Draco looked back at the ceiling. He then sat up very slowly. Turning back to her he said in almost a whisper,

"Do you think-
do you think that it's possible that part of him,
is still alive?"

Hermione's brown eyes burned into Draco's grey ones. Draco could see fear in her eyes.

"I don't know Draco. But I pray not."
She whispered back.

(Sorry this is pretty short, but I think the next part is going to be pretty good!!)
