( Hermione was having another nightmare. Or at least, it felt like a nightmare. She was searching for something important to her, but every time she reached her hand out to touch it, it would vanish as though it had never been solid in the first place. Over and over, until she could feel her breath coming in gasps and tears rolling down her face - was she screaming? It felt like she was saying a name, but she couldn't quite understand what it was, as though there was something obscuring her hearing, keeping her from understanding.

There was a flash of red hair, which vanished---

And then she woke up, sitting straight up in bed and panting, one hand pressed against her mouth to keep herself from screaming. This was a new one, wasn't it? But surely, it didn't mean anything...

Rolling over and reaching for her bracelet, Hermione scrolled through the names. And scrolled again. And a third time, her eyes almost too blurred with tears to see. The one name she had been counting on, she had been hoping to find - had disappeared during the night, while she was sleeping. What could she do about it?

By the time the sun rose, she had calmed herself enough to actually say something, though her eyes were red and puffy and had dark circles under them. )

Ronald Weasley has left. If .. anyone knew him, he was .. someone I knew from home. Someone I cared about. ( Was she supposed to say all this? )

I just thought others might want to know.

Honestly, you two are ridiculous. You sound exactly the same!

If I had a chance, when was it? I must have missed it, because all I remember is you hating me because I actually knew the answers in class!

...what? Do not. You had your chance before you opened your mouth.

You won't ever admit you were wrong, will you?

Would you ever admit it without a fight?

If I was actually wrong, yes. But I don't think I am in this case.

You're also not entirely correct either though. That's the difference.

Correct me, then.

...how am I supposed to correct you on something like this?

Tell me what you think is right.

Have you never heard of a first impression, Hermione? [Hermione, not Granger.]

( Oops, wary now. )

Of course I have. And...?

Then obviously everyone only gets one chance.

What, and my first impression was based on the fact that I was standing near Ron and Harry at the time?

.. Malfoy. If everyone really only got one chance, the world would be a much darker place.

You say that as though the world isn't a dark place as it is.

It's not nearly as dark as you make it out to be.

It's a lot darker than you think. My world is much, much darker than most people believe.

'Your' world, 'my' world, there isn't a thing anymore. It's just one world.

You're such an idealist, aren't you?

( There is a long, long pause. )

I used to be.

In comparison to some of us? You still are. I should go. I'll see you later, Granger.

[Because that's not abrupt or weird at all, Draco.]

( Um. Ok, Malfoy. Fine. Have it your way. )

.. Bye, Malfoy.
