happy 500 reads! woohoo! i'm so grateful for all of you. i will be publishing two chapters today because of this <3
I met you in the dark, you lit me up
You made me feel as though I was enough
"Draco," breathed Hermione as she saw him standing at the rim of the Astronomy tower.
"Hermione." Draco looked at his bleeding wrists, trying to hide it from her as he saw where she kept her gaze at. "It's nothing."
She took a step closer but Draco took a step back. "No, Granger, no. I am not a good person, okay? Don't even try and tell me that I am because I most definitely am not. I just watched that man kill a defenceless woman in my house and I didn't do anything. I'm such a bloody coward, do you hear me? I do not deserve you. Please just...leave me alone."
"Draco, you are not a bad person. And I know that. You are just doing this for your family. If you don't they're going to kill your mother and you want her to be safe because you love her and you think she's the only one you have right now but you're wrong. My God, Draco. So wrong. I'm here! You've got me, okay? No
matter what happens. I am and I always will be here for you. Always remember that."
Draco cried into her sweater as he broke down in her arms. How was he so vulnerable, so broken, yet so beautiful, thought Hermione.
"Thank you, Hermione."
"Shh, it's alright Draco. No worries."
Little did she know that Draco took the mark for her. Voldemort threatened to kill Hermione if he wouldn't take it and so he did. For her.
We danced the night away,
we drank too much
"Wooohoooo!" Hermione giggled as she took more shots. "Come on Drayyy! Live a little!"
"Promise me you'll go home after this," said Draco. "Eh eh eh – no buts! Mi, it's late and very dangerous and you're wearing that! Guys have been watching you all night."
Hermione groaned. "I'm a big girl now! I'm sure I can handle myself."
. . .
"Woah! Watch where you're going you idiot! Do you even know how to drive?" He yelled as he held her hand tighter as they walked when a guy accidentally almost hit them.
"Draco?"
"Mmhm?"
She bit her lip as she thought about what to say to Draco. "Are you going to drive me to my apartment tonight?"
"Yeah, just sleep there, okay? Get some rest." Draco said as he kissed her forehead.
I held your hair back when
You were throwing up
"Draco, I— " She ran to her bathroom to go and vomit as Draco came blazing to her side.
He ran soothing circles around her back as she vomited more and more. "That's it, 'Mione."
Draco took her scrunchie that was on his wrist then tied her hair into a messy bun.
Of course he didn't know it, but Hermione had always liked it when he tied her hair for her. No matter how messy the bun was, it always made her heart melt whenever he'd do this.
