Chapter 1: Nightmares come true

He slowly started to reach for Hermione`s breast, Hermione was crying inside for him to stop, but outside she had froze

"Do you like that?" He asked bringing his mouth to hers.

Hermione watched in horror as his face came closer and closer....then...... *********************************************************

Hermione woke with a start, sweating all over. She swallowed down the hard lump of guilt rising in her throat. She took a few calming breaths, then she got up and walked over to the washroom, trying not to wake the other 6th year Gryffindor girls.

Once she had washed away the sweat and tears, she looked into the mirror and said to the pale reflection

"It's alright, it was just a dream. That's all."

She took a few more calming breaths, when the voice in the back of her mind spoke up

"No it's not, and you know it. You're just too scared to admit it happened."

Hermione felt the lump rising into her throat, and she hurried down to the common room to do the only thing she could to forget about it, she read.

Everyone thought she was a bookworm, and was just wasting her teen years reading. But that was only the part she wanted them to know. If only they knew about what she was hiding behind the books and stories. Even the useless facts about Hogwarts were just cover up.

She stared at the words in the book, trying to forget the dream. When she saw that the book wouldn't help her this time, she threw it across the room in frustration.

She was glairing at the fireplace, when she felt a pair of lips softly brush her cheek. With a sharp intake of breath, she turned her face to see...Ron smiling his goofy smirk at her.

"Oh, it's you." Hermione said with a sigh of relief

Ron raised his eyebrows at her and mocked her reply with a chuckle

"Oh, it's me."

Hermione gave Ron a small smile, but just that small smile made his bigger

"Hey baby, what are you doing up right now? It's only 3:30 in the morning" Ron murmured into her hair

Hermione felt her spine instantly straighten as she tried to answer with a normal tone

"Oh, um, just a little nightmare"

Ron gazed into her brown chocolate eyes while replying with a suggestive tone

"Maybe I can fix that."

Ron closed in for a kiss, but when he saw Hermione trembling, he stopped

"Hermione, what's wrong?" He asked softly, backing away

"N-Nothing is wrong" Hermione replied, "I`m-I`m just still tired" She added

"Are you sure you're ok `Mione? Ron asked looking into her eyes, almost trying to find her answer

She hated that name, but she'd never tell Ron that, there would be too many questions to answer later

"Yeah, I mean, yes, I'm fine." Hermione replied glancing away from his eyes

Ron still looked unsure, but he sighed and replied

"Ok, can I walk you back to your dorm?"

Hermione saw the hurt in Ron's eyes, and heard it in his voice. She felt guilty, so she stood on her tiptoes to give Ron a quick kiss on the cheek.

She smiled and said "Yes Ron, you can."

Ron smiled at her, as he took her arm and led her up the stairs.

When they reached the top, Ron gave Hermione a hug and said goodnight

When she closed the door, she silently wept as the voice in her head reasoned with the reality Hermionie didn't want to face.

"You have to tell him soon"
