Granger Danger

(36) - trying to remember

Draco came in a few minutes later and went over to Hermione's side, immediately grabbing her hand. Hermione flinched at the sudden contact and shook Draco's hand off of her. Draco looked hurt.

"Malfoy... I need answers first!" Hermione yelled. Draco sighed and nodded slowly, looking down at the ground.

"I will give you answers! Ask me any question." Draco whispered.

"Why is everyone saying that I am dating you?" Hermione asked.

"That's because you are dating me 'Mione! Why don't you remember? Please remember me!" Draco begged as his eyes welled up with tears.

"I do remember you." Hermione mumbled, which made Draco's eyes light up in hope. Until Hermione continued. "I remember you as a foul loathsome evil little cockroach! Is this a prank!? Listen here Malfoy... I don't know how I got here and why, but this prank of yours and my friends will not work! I am not going out with you, and I don't know why you are saying this when you hate me and you know it!!" Hermione sneered.

"Hermione... 'Mione please. Please remember, I'm your boyfriend! You know.. The person who has been by your side all this year! Why don't you remember!?" Draco screamed. Just as Ginny and Blaise walked in.

"Draco... Let's leave Hermione to rest..." Ginny whispered. Draco let a few tears escape down his pale cheeks.

"No!! Why doesn't she remember me!? I love her, okay!? Why don't you remember me, 'Mione!? Why don't you understand that I love you!?" Draco screeched incredibly loudly.

"Draco... Mate... You won't be able to change her mind. Lets g--" Blaise was interrupted by Ginny speaking up.

"Let me try! She's my best friend, she might listen to me..." Ginny stated. Blaise nodded and grabbed hold of Draco's wrist, forcing him out of the room. Ginny walked over to Hermione's bed.

"Hermione... How are you feeling?" Ginny asked.

"How did I get here!?" Hermione yelled, completely ignoring Ginny's previous question. Ginny sighed and looked anywhere but Hermione's eyes.

"You were tortured... Draco helped us save you! Hermione.. Believe him! He might actually be telling the truth when he says he loves you." Ginny tried to explain.

"Might!? Ginny, I need a clear answer! I have no idea what's going on but i don't understand why Malfoy thinks that I am his girlfriend! I.... Ginny... Just.. Please let me rest." Hermione whispered. Ginny sadly nodded slowly and left the room.

"I tried..." Ginny mumbled to everyone when she left the room.

After a while, Hermione had fallen asleep. And she found herself smiling to herself in her sleep, a dream overtaking her body.

In Hermione's dream:

"No last words? Very well then..... AVARDA K--" Voldemorr began. But was interrupted by a loud slam of the door banging open and Draco charged into the room with his wand raised. The others finally followed into the room.

"Stay away from my girlfriend!!" Draco bellowed loudly, keeping his wand firmly raised and pointing at Voldemort.

"Draco? Oh, so lovely of you to join us. Look Mudblood, your boyfriend has arrived!! So which side is it Draco? Do you want to team with me to kill her or stay by her side and also die?" Voldemort questioned with his wand still pointed at the still body of Hermione on the floor.

"I'll never leave Hermione's side! Get away from her!!" Draco screamed as determination and rage flashed in his eyes.

Hermione's next dream:

Hey.. Drunk girl!" Hermione joked, smiling widely at Pansy, who was smiling widely back. Hermione's smile turned into a smirk as she examined Pansy. "How drunk are you?" Hermione asked, trying not to laugh.

"I'm sober enough to know that Draco likes you. I heard everything just then." Pansy smirked proudly, still swinging on her chair as Pansy took one big sip of her fire whiskey.

"What? N..no, Pansy. He was drunk. Trust me, he didn't mean what he just said." Hermione stated, laughing never nervously and uncomfortably.

"Hermione, have you ever gotten drunk before?" Pansy asked, putting her fire whiskey on to the table and stopped swaying on her chair to face Hermione.

"Um... No... Why? I don't see the point why I should need to." Hermione shrugged with a tiny but curious frown on her face. Pansy had whispered something on the lines of 'goody two shoes' to herself so Hermione couldn't here.

"Hermione, let me tell you something about getting drunk. Getting just is a weaker version of veritaserum! Alcohol may make people childish, weak and dizzy.. But people tell the truth, even if they might forget saying it the next morning! What Draco just said, he meant. Even the way he said it, in a loving and caring tone! He wants to dance and have fun with you, so go find him, Hermione." Pansy explained. How could Pansy act so sober and normal when she was clearly drunk and tipsy.

After hesitating, Hermione looked in to Pansy's encouraging eyes and nodded. "Okay, I'll go find him.

Hermione's next dream:

There Draco stood, kissing a girl who Hermione didn't recognise. The girl had black hair that reached just above her waist, and as the girl quickly opened her eyes before closing them again, Hermione saw that her eyes were a beautiful green. The girl had a nice pink blush for makeup on her cheeks, and a beautiful dark crimson colour to her lips as the girl smiled against Draco's passionate kiss. The girl also had a nice glittery purple added to her eyelids, with black eyeliner and mascara. She was stunning.

Hermione could never compete with this girl. So Hermione just watched Draco smile against the kiss with this unknown girl, as the girl was deepening it. She was really going at it! Who was this young girl!?

Hermione couldn't watch this anymore. Even though Draco and Hermione used to hate eachother, Hermione felt numb as she thought that she had fallen for the Slytherin prince, but now Hermione had realised that they could never be together. Draco will get married to this black haired girl and have a whole bunch of kids, and then Blaise and Pansy will get married and also have kids, and Hermione will be left alone with no one and will be forgotten. How could Hermione let herself fall for her old enemy!?

Hermione's last dream:

Draco and Hermione were sitting around the table, eating and bringing up small talk about random school stuff and things. But then, once they were both finished, Draco waved his wand and the whole table, plates and chairs had disappeared and Hermione was pushed to her feet.

"Draco, what the hell?" Hermione whispered in a hushed tone, looking at where the table had disappeared from moments ago. Draco extended his hand towards Hermione and she just stared at it.

"Come on, let me have one dance." Draco whispered. Hermione looked up from Draco's hand and into his eyes, giving a small half smile.

"I can't dance, I'm really bad at it." Hermione hushed, clearly sounding embarrassed.

"Well,,you know what they say!" Draco began, taking a step towards Hermione and grabbing hold of her hand. "Practice makes perfect."

"But there isn't any music." Hermione pointed out, trying to sound polite without just saying that she couldn't dance and didn't even want to. But unfortunately, Draco gave another flick of his wand and faint music grew louder, coming out from nowhere.

"You have no excuse now." Draco chuckled, letting go of Hermione's hands and grabbing hold of Hermione's waist, beginning to sway to the music. Hermione hated dancing but for some reason, felt like she wanted to dance with Draco. So she blushed and began to dance with him, looking in to his dark eyes.

End of dreams

Hermione woke up suddenly. She had been having so many dreams about random stuff, and then it all came rushing back to her.

"I remember him. Draco... I love him."
