27-Listen

Hermione layed her head on Draco's arm, breathing in his faded scent, and humming as she smiled, the reminder of green apples and cinnamon flushing through her scenes.
She looked up to see Draco's appearance in the same angelic sleeping god-like statue that he was before, and although he looked amazingly beautiful like that, she wished he would wake up.

She caressed his face and grinned, thinking of his smirking face staring at her.
Ray waltzed in, wearing another expensive suit, and placed his hands on her waist, spinning her around, so she was facing him.

Hermione gave him a look and slapped off his hands, turning back to Draco, and giving Ray the cold shoulder.

"Darling,... Sweetheart?"he asked, perfect eyebrow raised.

She looked down sadly, away from Rays steely gaze and sighed, closing her eyes.

"I want him to wake.."she spoke, looking over towards Ray, tears in her honey like eyes.

Ray stepped towards her, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her body into a hug, resting his chin on her head.

"He will be fine, darling,"he whispered, grinning, and breathing in her scent of Cinnamon and green apples, mixed with oranges and roses.

"I hope so.. I really miss him."she whispered, fisting the sides of Rays blazer jacket and letting out a loud sob.

"This includes, humans, Goblins, hags , werewolves, and vampires. According to this definition, fairies, pixies, gnomes, and most other creatures, were classified as Beasts.
Centaurs and merpeople are said to have been rejected "being" status in favour of "beast" status, as have leprechauns.."Hermione rambled on, turning the page on her huge book.

She sat by Draco's side, wearing his glasses that where a size too big for her, and slipped down her nose, she smiled, as they did, and pressed them back up the bridge of her nose.

She had gone home to the Hotel to change, leaving Raymond to stay by his side whilst she was gone, and came back with a stack of ready, old, dusty books to read to him.

And so she sat by his side, half munching on a cucumber sandwich and bursting into laughter mid sentence.

Hermione wiped her eyes, still laughing, and turning the book around so Draco could see, although he couldn't.

"I can't believe that, how thick could you be!"she chuckled.

"I don't know when this book was written but it sure is bloody inaccurate!"she gasped, holding her rips.

Hermione could practically picture his face when she read it aloud to him, perhaps she was going insane, mad, not well in the head, But insanity was making her happier, making her laugh more.

Insanity was better than sanity.
Sanity was being normal, seeing the world how it really was, the doom and gloom around you.
Insanity made your life, a little less complex, more accepting and cunning at the things you saw that others did not.

She huffed, closing the book with a crash, as she dog eared the corner, and the pages backs sliding down in a stampede of words.

Raymond walked in, smiling, at the cheerier version of his ex lover.

"What a sight for sore eyes!"he gasped, dramatically holding onto his chest.

Hermione grinned, placing the book down in her bag with a loud echo and a small scream of pain from beneath.

"I was just reading Ray,"she sighed.
Ray smirked, rolling his eyes, and sat down next to her.

"Well, it's good to see you happy again, what where you laughing about?"

Hermione grinned again,
"Me and Draco where reading a bloody inaccurate book, it was so funny, I think it was written in Greek mythology, you know,"

"No, I don't know,"

Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Well, muggles, even the smartest people in the world thought that the earth was flat, that the reason you could see things was because light shone from your eyes and blah blah blah, the smartest people in the world!"she cried, moving her hands in exasperation.

"Oh my, It was so funny thought, what they where saying about..."and she went on and on about it, Ray had gazed out by that time, But Draco, who was still unconscious in his coma, had his hearing back, and was listening intently at her beautiful voice, and the way she explained everything so intellectually.
