The Lost Souls

Ch 22 // attempt nearly succeeded but draco proceeded

Bleh bleh bleh. I do not say bleh bleh bleh. This is A/N by the way. So this chapter is DRAMIONE mainly idk I'm bored :|

"Psst. Pssssssst. Psssssssssssst! PSSSSS-" the blond Slytherin got interrupted with a pillow to the face. "What do want, Draco?" "I can't sleep. I keep having nightmares" he whispered to his new and first girlfriend. "What about?" The boy shuffled a bit on his bed, before turning to face her. "My father. I keep dreaming about him yelling at me, beating me, trying to force me to go down the aisle, and marry some random pureblood" confessed Draco.

When he looked up at her eyes, he saw worry hidden somewhere within the chocolate orbs. "It's okay, it's only a dream. Besides, it doesn't matter. You should be the only one to decide anything for your future. You do what you want to" she assured him in a quiet voice. It was the middle of the night after all.

"You know what I want to do?" Draco smirked as he asked her a question only he could truly answer. But, as it seemed, she knew exactly what he was about to say. "Oh will you grow up? You're disgusting" stated Hermione. "You love me, Granger" he whispered with a chuckle. He saw her roll her eyes, but knew it was her way of avoiding of saying anything.

"Yeah, well I love to sleep. Can you let me go back to bed?" The boy would do none of the sort, of course. So instead of letting her stay with her back to him, resting her eyes and trying to sleep, he got off his bed and quietly got his blanket she had on top of her. Almost immediately she turned to him and tried to get it back.

It only gave him the advantage of picking her up in his arms, and carrying her before he left the dormitory. He ignored her fists trying to pound into his skin, and took her to the Common Room and put her down on the couch. "What the hell, Malfoy?" "What? You aren't allowed to sleep as long as I have that reoccurring nightmare" said Draco with his arms crossed, acting half his age.

"Then snog me until you're tired, Malfoy" she said intending it to be a joke, but he only took it seriously. Soon she was torn between pushing him off or responding back to his kisses. Anyone stupid would have thought she'd push him off. That's right, she kissed back, and soon their tongues were involved.

Once they were done, they panted to recollect themselves. Draco gave her a single kiss on her forehead before he cuddled against her warm figure. Soon they both fell asleep quite peacefully and there were no nightmares at all. In fact, when Hermione was the first to wake, she was surprised to see Draco smiling in his sleep.

She had no intentions of disturbing his calm rest, at least until she heard noises other than his light breathing. That was when she began to shake his shoulders and whisper his name loudly in his ear. "Mmm that's my name" he muttered still asleep.

We should probably get back before Tom wakes up" said Hermione. "Right" agreed Draco. At the precise moment he sat up, a voice startled the two.

"Well look at that. You actually spent the night together. Traitors do deserve each other, I guess. I just never thought you'd be one of them, Draco" said an all too familiar voice. The couple were once again under the blanket, this time both sitting up. Funny thing was that Draco actually lifted it up to his chest.

"First of all, no one's a traitor. Second of all, why are you upset at Hermione? She didn't do anything wrong on purpose. She's the best person anyone could ever meet. I'm lucky to have crossed paths with her, because with just a glimpse my life was brighter and had meaning. Sure, I was a bully at first. But you were her friend from the start. Why are you suddenly destroying everything of your friendship with her?"

"You know what she did. She practically destroyed my boyfriend" said Pansy loud with hate. "Harry only got his age different. Who cares? They're making a potion to change him back. There's a solution to his de-aging. But you know that there's no solution to breakups? You can't just split from a friendship like the one you two had. You guys were closer than Harry and Dudley. You're closer than any other pair of friends in this heck of a school. And yet you go and throw it away" ranted Draco.
