Our Beautiful Insanity

Chapter 6; Astronomy had its way

(Draco's POV)

He starred at his watch. It was three in the night. The past few weeks he hadn't been able to think about anything, but Hermione, and their short conversation. Sha had said his name. His first name. God, this thing he was going through was like hell. Although, it was the sweetest hell he could imagine.

He flipped on his shoes, and started to walk along the corridors. Sometimes walking was all he needed to do. As he was walking, he felt an urge to go up to the astronomy tower. Just to watch the stars.

Oh Draco you so poetic

When he reached the top of the stairs he saw a female figure lying on the floor, wrapped up in a blanket. Carefully he moved closer, trying not to wake her.

Her hair was covering her face, so the only thing he could see was her parted lips. In spite of her face being covered up, he could see who it was. Any day he would recognise that hair; Hermione Granger.

Seating himself next to her, he watched her as her chest moved up and down slowly. She was so peaceful. So oblivious to the perfection she was, lying there sleeping.

Stunning. Breath taking.

He sat there for minutes, watching her sleep. Whenever she would turn, he would look at her, studying her features. She really was adorable.

Suddenly her eyelids flew wide open, and her breathing fastened. She looked at him in shock. "Draco?" He did not know what to say. What explanation could he use to explain this? "Yeah, I...I just came, didn't want to wake you up."

"I wasn't going to ask you... about that." She smiled. "Just wondering what you were doing up here." He looked down at his watch. "Oh. Well I couldn't sleep. Too much on my mind." She gave him as small nod. "Same."

If she only knew what was on his mind. He wondered if she had been thinking of him too. Even though she probably hadn't, he liked to think that she had.

"What's on you mind then?" She asked nervously. Oh, God he hadn't expected that question. "Oh you know. School and stuff." He looked down at the floor, checks flushed red. "Yeah." The building silence was getting more and more awkward.

She stood up, and leaned over the railing. He watched as her eyes was completely attached to too the dark night sky. Her eyes shining as if they were one of the blinking dots as well. He stood up right next to her.

It was strange how they suddenly were being nice to each other, but he reckoned it was only because of the event yesterday. The Weasley and Lavender thing. God how stupid could that Weaselbee be. You don't cheat on a girl like Hermione.

"You know. When I was little, I thought that when we died we became stars. The brighter the star was shining, the more lived had its life been," She said while staring up at the dark night sky. He took a step closer. "Didn't know you were so poetic, Granger."

He looked at her, taking in her features. "According to astronomy. When you wish apon a star. You are actually a few million years late. The star is dead, just like your dreams." He stated matter–of-factly. She laughed. "Buzz kill. I'm allowed to dream."

"You are allowed to dream yes, but honestly. It's just some shiny dots on a whole lot of darkness." She gave him a nod. "Are you afraid of the dark, Malfoy?"

Ahhhh, back to last name bases

"Well. I'm not afraid of it; I just don't particularly like it." She chuckled. "What? Aren't you afraid of the dark?" He asked. "I've loved the starts too fondly to be afraid of the night," She stated. He looked at her. "Galileo?"(It's a Quote from Galileo if you didn't understand;))

She twisted her brows. "How did you know? I mean, I didn't think you would know him, you know since he is a muggle." Draco gave her his way to familiar smirk. "Some muggles are okay, I guess. Him and Shakespeare."

Her eyes blew wide open. "You like Shakespeare?" He didn't get why that came like such a big shock to her. "Yes, why?" She stared at him blankly. "I just.....Didn't know you were into that stuff."

Well you don't know me as well as you think. In fact, you don't know anything. If you did, you would know that I'm completely captured by you right now, and if you only could see it I...

"Earth to Draco..." She waved her hands. "Uhm.. Yes sorry. Yeah I like Shakespeare. He has his ways with words." He stated quietly. Her grin grew wider. "Yes he has."

Then, they just stood there, in silence watching the stars together. Astronomy had its way.
