"Thank you for coming so late in the night." Draco said, looking back to his room to make Hermione was sleeping.

Blaise, Pansy, Theo, Harry, Ginny and Ron were all sitting in front of him. He sighed and adjusted in his chair.

"Granger told me something earlier...it was unnerving." He said. They all had a confused look on their face.

"She told me the war wasn't over. Then i proceeded to ask what she was talking about. She doesn't know, she says people are talking to her." He said running his fingers through his hair.

"It sounds crazy...but i think someone is haunting her in her dreams or something." He said wanting to know their opinions.

"I mean that definitely has happened to people before right?" Pansy asked. Dracos eyes shot to her gratefully.

"I think it would be best to talk to Hermione about it first." Ron said annoyed. Draco sighed.

"I don't want to freak her out...and make her think it's something larger then what it actually is." Draco replied.

"Honestly, I agree with Weasley," Blaise said. "She can tell us what's really going on."

"Does everyone agree to that?" Draco said lowly. The rest of them nodded, and Draco stood up.

He went into Hermiones room and watched her peacefully sleep for a second. He ran his fingers through her hair..then kissed her forehead.

"Granger." He said and she scrunched her face up. He kept stroking her hair until her eyes fluttered open.

"We need to talk." He whispered helping her sit up. She followed Draco out to see everyone sitting down.

Draco told her to sit where had previously been sitting. She burrowed her eyebrows, unsure of what was going on.

"Mione?" Ginny said smiling. Hermione looked over at her, then down at her hands.

"Malfoy has told us that you have been hearing things? What kind of things? When did they start?" Harry said looking at her with sympathy.

"Um...they started when... I was unconscious after leaving the Weasleys." She said looking up at Harry.

"What are they saying?" Harry asked. She stared into his green eyes, she could trust him.

"That they'll rise again. And he has unfinished business." She said as her eyes became watery.

"Who?" Theo asked. His eyes met Draco, who was obviously on edge with this whole conversation.

"I don't know...I never see their face." She said wiping a fallen tear.

"Well, we could always use legimens to see what you are seeing." Pansy suggested.

"Isn't that extremely painful?" Draco said clenching his jaw. Hermione looked up at him, as he studied Pansys face.

"Well, yes. But it could possibly help. And we would know what she is talking about."

Dracos eyes met Hermiones. She looked back down and sighed.

"I'll do it." She said. Draco ran his fingers through his hair. He didn't want to see the pain she was in..it broke him.

"Okay i'm actually pretty good at legimens, so you can just lie down on the couch."

Draco watched her stand up and walk over to the couch. He crouched down and waited for her eyes to meet his.

"You're sure?" He whispered gripping onto her hand. She nodded, and he leaned his forehead on hers.

"Then im sure." He whispered. She sighed and looked at Pansy.

"Ready?" She asked Hermione. Hermione nodded and squeezed Dracos hand.

Hermione shut her eyes, as Pansy began. A mist appeared above Hermione. All of her memories began to play from after they were separated.

Her breathing increased as they got to the part where she falls out the window. Once she went unconscious they saw what she was talking about.

A man in a black cloak threatening everything she loved.

Hermione began to cry and shake.

"They arent done. The war has only just begun."

Draco felt the tears from Hermione on his hand. He struggled to stop himself from screaming at Pansy to stop.

"They need you Hermione."

Hermione began to hyperventilate.

"Okay i think that's enough Pansy." Draco said trying to hold Hermione.

"It won't stop." She said trying over and over again to end the legimens.

"Stop, please!" Hermione cried out.

"Pansy end it!" Draco said staring down at her.

"I'm trying!—"

"Fools." A voice boomed from the mist.

"You can not stop this happening even if you tried to. This will be over, and justice will be served." The mist swirled back into Hermione and opened her eyes sobbing.

"Granger." Draco said but she was shaking her head. She tried to take a deep breath but couldn't.

"I'm getting water." Ginny said. She ran over to the kitchen to fill up a cup.

"Granger open your eyes." Draco pleaded. They opened but she was still visibly upset.

"He-," She began, "He showed me..." She sobbed the rest. Draco held onto her and she fell into his chest.

Ginny handed him the glass of water. And he put it to her lips.

"Mione, deep breaths." Ginny whispered. Hermione took one deep breath after some water.

"He showed me, my p- parents." She said softly silently sobbing after. Draco looked at everyone's faces while rubbing her back.

Whoever this was...was looking for a fight. He didn't know what to do.

"Maybe we should all stay here for the night" Theo suggested. Everyone nodded.

They all sat there as Hermione began to calm down. Draco kissed her hair and whispered something lowly.

"I'm going to take her to bed. You all are welcome to sleep wherever." Draco said after getting up.

Ron watched them walk into her room.

"Would this all have not happened if we never took her." He said what they were all thinking.

"I don't know." Harry said staring into space.

In their room Hermiome was laying on Dracos chest, breathing in his scent.

"You okay?" He whispered. She nodded and played with his shirt.

"Draco," She whispered after a silence.

"Hm?" He asked running his fingers softly along her arms.

"I love you." He smiled down at her. She lifted her lips to his and they shared a sweet kiss.

"I love you, too."
