Chapter 13

Ginny raised an eyebrow. "You know, he has actually changed, Draco." She said looking over as Malfoy walked around the school.

"What do you mean by that, Ginny? He got money for being nice and bringing me here to Harry. It seems like the regular Draco Malfoy that I went to school with." I said throwing my hands up in the air. "You have to be mental to even say that, Gin."

Ginny put her hands on her shoulders, shaking her head in disbelief. "Okay, okay, calm down Hermione. I was just saying that he changed. It's no matter to argue about." She said taking her hands off her shoulders.

I sighed and ruffled my hair up with my other hand. "Sorry, Gin. I'm just a bit overwhelmed with everything. Seeing everyone after so long, it seems like this is all a dream." I said looking all around.

-"Hermione!"

Why could I hear Draco's voice and not see him? Where was I? "Ginny?" I asked seeing everything fade away. I opened my eyes and saw Draco leaning over me.

"Hermione? Are you okay?" He asked raising my head from the stone. I was on the stairs by myself with Draco. I could hear the noise of the Weird Sisters music playing behind the doors that led to the Great Hall.

"What happened?" I managed to get out.

"You fainted, Granger." Draco chuckled. "Not that I'm suprised."

I rolled my eyes and hit him on the shoulder. I then had a thought.

"Did Harry pay you to bring me here? Or Ron?" I asked, hoping it wasn't true.

Draco raised an eyebrow and shook his head.

"No, wow you must have hit your head hard on the stone you've gone mental, although you always have been." He teased and I rolled my eyes. "How about we get off the stairs and clean you up in the bathrooms. I think I still remember where they are." He said holding out a hand for me to take.

I sighed and took his hand, standing up and walking down the corridors to the bathrooms. I walked in and fixed up my make-up. I walked out and Draco was standing there. I was suprised, I would've at least thought that he would leave.

"Are you sure you're okay now?" He asked fixing his tie.

I nodded. "Yes, I'm fine. So shall we go in?" I asked.

"Of course." He said putting a hand around my waist as we walked into the Great Hall. It was nothing like my dream, not at all.
