Line Between Nightmare and Dream

Contains Draco/Hermione

Three months earlier ~ London

Hermione slammed shut another book and sighed loudly. She had been at the library all day and didn’t feel like she had achieved anything. She would have to spend all day Sunday starting over. She cringed when she thought about the flight home; it was the only way to travel in and out of London since the war.

“Four flights in two days, I could just find a couch to sleep on in the restricted section” Hermione thought. Then she realized she knew someone in London, she made a quick wish he would be home and grabbed her bags.

There was a knock on Draco’s door and he walked a little agitated towards the door

“Granger?” Draco was shocked to see her in London

“Hey sorry for dropping by unannounced but I was in London doing some research and I didn’t quite finish. I thought it would be worthless to go home and back again and I thought I could stay here” Hermione was pretty sure Draco would say yes but she figured she should be polite and tell him the whole story

“Of course!! I would have been mad to hear you were in town and didn’t stop by” Draco directed her into the apartment.

Well… if you could call it an apartment, it was huge. The decorating was overly extravagant and very tacky. Draco immediately went to the kitchen to get a bottle of wine and left Hermione to take in the scenery. He had great taste in views at least, the city spread out like a painting in the huge glass windows.

“So what are you researching in London?” Draco asked as he handed Hermione a glass of Sauvignon Blanc

“Nope, no talk about research or school or work, How have you been?” Hermione asked as she finished half her wine in a single gulp

“Work” Draco laughed as he filled her glass back up

“Eh.. How did our lives get to this? We had exciting fucking lives when we were kids” Hermione said

“Yeah thrilling! Almost being killed at every turn. I’m happy with work honestly” Draco replied

They continued talking for hours about years past and things they wish they could change. It was easy for Hermione to talk to Draco; he never judged or expected anything from her. And in some strange way they helped each other keep perspective.

“You sure know how to give a girl a good night Draco” Hermione laughed

“Well I’m glad you liked the wine. As much as we have avoided the subject I do have some work to do early in the morning. The guest room is the second door on the right. The front door will lock behind you when you leave” Draco kissed her on the cheek “night”

“Thank you Draco” Hermione called after him. She was glad for the wine it would help her sleep after her hours of researching dreams and their meanings.
……………………………………………………………………..

Hermione was looking down a long hallway. A hallway she had been in before… as a prisoner. She knew the layout well because she had paid very close attention the last time she was here in case she needed to make a quick escape. She looked around for another person but she was very much alone. The smell of the old wood floors made her heart skip a beat, and she listened closely to the echo of her feet down the hall.

As she looked down the hall she could feel her pulse begin to race. Something was waiting for her and she was proceeding down the hall by a force outside of herself.

Two arms wrapped around her from behind, one below her chest and the other across her shoulders.

“There you are” came from the man behind her. His velvety voice danced in her head and he traced her ear with his lips. He whispered something else into her ear and she melted into him.

That’s all it ever took. He said a few words and she became his. Hermione couldn’t control her reaction, her heart began to beat so quickly she could see it in her chest, her breath became shallow and frantic, and she was suddenly dripping wet.

He ran his hand down the curve of her body and inched her hemline upwards. He continued to taste her neck and she could feel his excitement on her lower back so she reached around and put her hand on his erection.

His fingers pushed aside her panties and swept over her clit in one amazingly graceful move. His fingers teased around inside and out and Hermione tried to keep up and return the favor to him but she got lost in the pleasure and with every flick of his fingers she came closer and closer…

“Hermione” He whispered “Hermione”



“Hermione!? Hermione!? Wake up!” Draco said in a sleepy grog

He had been sleeping in his room across the hall when he heard a loud thump from Hermione’s room. He would have dismissed it but it sounded like she was kicking and having trouble breathing. He grabbed a robe and ran to her room. He found her thrashing around on the floor back arched and hands gripping for something behind her. Her breathing was not exactly asthmatic more…well….sexual.

“Hermione! Please wake up. It’s Draco” He pleaded with her

She sat straight up and took two quick deep breaths.

“Bloody hell Granger you scared the shit out of me” Draco placed his hand on Hermione’s shoulders

She turned her head to look at the hand on her shoulder. She slowly raised her hand to hold his.

“Thank you” She said and moved to sit on the bed

Draco sat next to her and rubbed her back. Suddenly he found himself flat on his back with Hermione straddling him and kissing him from above him.

“Whoa” Draco tried to get out but Hermione silenced him with another passionate kiss

“Don’t talk! just let me do this” she begged

Draco was more than happy to oblige. He wasn’t sure where this passion was coming from but he had learned long ago how to roll with the punches.

Hermione readjusted her body to place herself next to Draco. She opened the robe and was very happy to have caught Draco off guard. He wasn’t quite hard yet and she seized the moment to suck him till he was.

Draco’s mind buckled she wasn’t wasting anytime and she knew her way around a man’s body. Her tongue wrapped around his shaft then slid with a flick off the end. Her hands mapped out a trail from his navel to his knees.

“Draco? Can I ask you a favor?” Hermione asked timidly

“After that…anything” Draco huffed breathlessly

“Finger me” the request hit him like a ton of bricks. She was so up front and honest. She could have said him to kill the Minister of Magic and he would have jumped up to do it after that amazing blowjob.

Draco sat up and positioned himself on top of her.

“No not like this” She whispered. She pulled him out of the bed and stood with her back to him. She placed his left arm around her shoulders and his right hand between her legs.

Rolling with the punches Draco ran a finger over her clit. He gasped to find her soaking wet. He spread open her lips and ran two fingers along the length of her pussy. The heat resonating from her was nearly painful but her sighs made him feel so accomplished. Every move he made she moaned and pressed closer to him. He inched two fingers into her pulsing heat, she cried out and grabbed Draco around the neck.

“Yes keep going I’m almost there” Hermione pleaded

He bent his knees to get a better position on her and pushed harder against her G-spot. He could feel her muscles closing in around his fingers and as he shoved his fingers into her one more time he lifted her up onto her toes and she screamed out. Throwing her head backwards and nearly falling to the floor again.

Draco managed to get her into the bed and collapsed next to her.

“Well whatever Potter, Weasley, and you are doing in that apartment I will have to thank them” Draco said

“It’s not them” Hermione sighed

“Well who ever he is I want to buy him a drink” Draco laughed, but could hear Hermione begin to cry next to him.

“Shit I’m sorry” Draco propped himself on his arm and looked down on Hermione who had streaks running from the corner of both eyes.

“It’s not you…I have been having these dreams that I can’t control or explain” Hermione said

“Were you having one when I woke you up? What are they about” Draco asked

Hermione explained her dream to Draco and a little bit of him was disappointed to find he had very little to do with the splurge of lust he just experienced.

“Well you know I am always here to help” Draco laughed

“This isn’t funny Draco! I am messed up, who gets tortured and then dreams about hot sex on the torture table” Hermione’s words cut deep. Draco felt so guilty about that whole situation that any mention of it made his stomach drop.

“Hermione…” Draco tried to say but she interrupted him

“You know I don’t blame you or your father for any of that. I’m sorry I brought it up” She turned on her side away from him

“Granger if you can’t talk to me about this who can you?” Draco rubbed her back

“Thank you” She said as she drifted off to sleep
