Come Back to Me | Dramione |

Chapter 17

Draco

I woke up in a cold sweat, it felt like something was wrong. Something wrong with Hermione. I turned on the lamp and I heard a small groan from beside me and I looked over fearfully, not wanting to face a bloodied up Hermione

I let out a sigh of relief realizing that she was perfectly safe. I slouched back against the headboard. Hermione has been staying over a lot, because I've asked her too, and tonight is one of those nights I've asked her to stay, it's been 3 nights in a row the longest shes ever stayed over. (It's been a few weeks since the last chapter just to clarify)

"Why is the light on?" Hermione asked, her voice raspy from sleep.

"Sorry, bad dream." I looked down at her and she opened her eyes, squinting at the harsh light.

"Are you okay?" her voice still held sleep. I nodded, still shaking from the dream and my heart pounding in my chest.

"Sorry I woke you up, go back to sleep." I said letting out a deep breath and she sat up the sheets falling from her body, she was wearing a white tank top and I could see goosebumps appear on her arms as the cold air hit them.

"You're okay." She whispered, "It's okay, we're not there, it's over, so is the war." she knew what I was dreaming about, it was either month we left Hogwarts or during the war.I turned off the lamp and laid down, Hermione's head on my chest giving me comfort, and I fell right asleep.

I woke up that morning trying to feel for Hermione, but she wasn't there as usual. I sat up with a yawn and a stretch and she walked out in her work clothes.

"Why do you always wake up early?"

"Because I like to get a head start on my day." She smiled and said some charm to fix her messy hair, today it was down, normally it was up in a tight bun. She placed her wand in her bag and I got up to change into my uniform. Once I was done, Hermione was sitting in the same spot, she was picking at her nails as she always does when she's waiting for me and she looked up with a smile.

My door slowly opened making both Hermione and I look over and Sugar came in with two plates of breakfast.

"Sugar has breakfast for master Malfoy and Miss. Granger." Sugar said and Hermione smiled and walked over to her taking the plates.

"Thank you Sugar, it smells delicious." Hermione said giving her a warm smile.

"Oh no, it is no problem for Sugar. Sugar likes to make Miss. Granger happy." Sugar said and with a snap of her fingers she disappeared.

Hermione handed me my plate and we sat on the bed and ate. Once we finished eating we walked down the stairs and I grabbed my things from the table and looked at Hermione before she disapperated to the Ministry.

"Oh, I have a Christmas party at my job tonight would like to come?" She asked and pulled her bag over her shoulder.

"Of course, what should I wear?" I asked and she shrugged, I'll let you know at lunch." She said with a smile and apperated away.

Hermione

Work today was normal, I was going through cases and handing them off to Harry. I walked into his office to hand him two more cases and some paperwork to sign it was the usual death eater being sent to Azkaban and it needed Mine and Harry's signature.

"Hello again Mione." Harry smiled as I placed the cases on a pile of cases he needed to assign to aurors and placed the paperwork in front of him.

"Hi." I said with a smile, and he signed it where it needed to be signed.

"Are you going to the party tonight?" he asked and I nodded.
