Torn || A Dramione Love Story

Chapter 9

Chapter 9:

Hermione was running, beads of sweat had formed on her head. Her wand was in her hand but she couldn't use it as she didn't know what she was running from. Dark laughter ringed through her ears and a piercing scream sounded behind her. She turned her head to the side only to meet the frightened eyes of Draco whose Dark Mark, visible on his forearm, was black and swollen

"RUN!" he was yelling at her, she hadn't heard him until now

She turned her attention once again in front of her; she seemed to be going nowhere. The laughter was right next to her ears now she felt something cold grasp her shoulders. She screamed as loud as her lungs would let her but it only made the hands shake her violently, she screamed louder. She saw a green flash right in front of her before everything went black.

Hermione woke up shaking; she had beads of sweat formed on her forehead as she had in her dream. She was staring into the grey-blue eyes of Draco who didn't look nearly as frightened as he had in her dream. His hands were placed on her shoulders which felt ice cold against the heat of her body.

"Hermione, you were having a nightmare' he said calmly finally removing his hands from her shoulders.

"Sorry, did I wake you up?" she quickly glanced towards the clock that was sitting on her bedside table, it read 2:27 AM

"No don't worry, I was already awake"

"What at 2:30 in the morning?'

"Don't you lie to me Draco Malfoy!"

"No I'm not lying! I couldn't really sleep"

Hermione fixed him a look as she stared at him not believing that he had truly been awake.

'If you say so, but I still don't believe you"

Draco smiled, he really had been awake but he didn't really have the energy to fight about it. Draco smiled back at her even though she was all sweaty and had a bad case of bed hair he couldn't help but let his eyes fall to her long legs which were now exposed due to her lack of pants. Hermione noticed and blushed covering her legs with the blankets

"Eyes up here Draco" she snapped her fingers in front of her face

"You can't blame me granger, I am a male specimen"

"I've had doubts about that"

Draco fixed he with a mock scowl and crossed his arms as if he were five. Now it was Hermione's turn to smile, he could be so adorable that she couldn't help it. She hadn't realised it but her and Draco had gone into a staring competition, her eyes were starting to water and she could see that his were doing the same.

"All right I give up! You win" she said throwing her arms above her head in defeat

"Of course I do"

"How about this, the first one to the bathroom gets to be in there as long as they want, and you can't bother me when I'm in there"

"What makes you so sure you'll win?"

Hermione smiled evilly, Malfoy got a bad feeling about it but he agreed to the terms anyway.

"Ok, on your marks" He started Hermione and himself had lined up in front of the bed

"Get se- Hey!" Hermione had been gone on "get".

She tore around the corner after getting through her bedroom he could here Draco not far behind her. The bathroom was just in sight she reached out and grabbed the door handle and quickly slipped in just as Draco had caught up with her. She heard him say something unintelligible from the other side of the door and smiled
