      Chapter Fifteen

      New Discoveries... Good and Bad

      I was back in class after the potion wore off. And may I say that it made me so woozy and out of it that I can hardly remember anything from when I woke up with Draco sleeping in my lap to skipping breakfast in the Hospital Wing before Madame Pomfrey would make me sit and eat every last crumb. I could've sworn she followed me down a few corridors before just giving up and letting me go on an empty stomach. Unfortunately, she made Draco go back to the Slytherin common room when she found that we were talking after my dream. She thought that he woke me up, but really she should be pointing her fingers at me instead. Draco gave me a soft kiss on the forehead before Madame Pomfrey scooted him out the door. Another dose of the potion and she knocked me out until I had about ten minutes to go back to the Slytherin dungeons, shower, get dressed, and go to class. I wanted to call her crazy since she figured I would be able to accomplish all of that. But with my body exhausted and my mind fuzzy, I decided to just take my time and hope that the professors would understand. Well, maybe Snape would, Trelawney would probably be too dazed to tell I was even gone and Umbridge would just give me hell. I was well prepared for it though.

      I staggered my way through the portrait hole and into my room, ignoring the many questionable glances I was getting from the remaining students that lounged about on the couches like they did every morning. I'm pretty sure they would think I was just going to shower off a late night. Well, they got the shower part right. I seriously thought that I would just stand underneath the water for the rest of my life because it felt so good. I washed my hair and left the conditioner in as I began to bathe my body, the bubbles and warm water relaxing my stiff muscles. My mind was still wandering off to how Draco looked at me as I walked down the aisle. His eyes so filled with love and passion, just picturing it in my head made me weak in the knees.

      After a good fifteen minute shower, I dried my hair and body, heading to my closet to pic out an outfit. Well, I stuck with the original uniform but I slipped on some black tights with little silver stars all over them just to be fun. I added my usual black combat boots and then decided to slap on a tiny bit of makeup. Just a bit of eye shadow to make my eyes pop, along with some peach blush around the apples of my cheeks and some light pink tinted lip balm. I finished brushing on some mascara and then started to braid my long bangs along the right side of my head and behind my ear, pinning them there. My long hair was left looking wavy and cute. Whoa, I thought to myself, I actually look... not like a Hogwarts clone for once. I grabbed my favorite rucksack and headed out my door and down the stairs, seeing that the common room was empty. I mentally rolled my eyes at myself, of course it was empty since I am about forty five minutes late for class! Well, I can catch the last fifteen minutes if I speed walk. Then Snape can't yell at me or any of the prefects because I won't be running. So, HA!

      Lucky for me, we were doing tea leaf readings and everyone was chattering about the room so I was able to just slip inside without anyone noticing. Hermione and Moose were talking about their own readings by glancing at the textbook every few seconds to confirm their predictions. Once I sat down, they both looked at me and smiled. Hermione to me for the first time since I told her about the nightmares.
