A DARK HOPEFUL THING
by Emmie De Vries
~~~~~
"Don't you have any self-preservation? Didn't anyone ever tell you I'm the bad guy?"

I look at him candidly. He's all fine lines and cashmere and wealth. His mouth is twisted into his classic sneer, and he's tilted his head as he looks down at me like I'm a puppy in a shop that's the last of the litter. Left behind. 

I see through it, even if no one else seems to be able to. But I let him have it, let him think I look at him and see something to be afraid of when sometimes it feels like I'm looking in a mirror. I smile.

 "Didn't anyone ever tell you that no one really likes the good ones?"
~~~~~~

Mina Newcombe is used to being seen as something second-rate, dispensable. She's no stranger to ridicule, either. Growing up in the system means getting used to snide remarks, bitchy comments. But Draco Malfoy is cruel, relentless. He's beautiful, but she knows that doesn't mean anything. She read somewhere, before she discovered magic, before she met his cool, calculating gaze for the first time, that the prettiest snakes were the most poisonous. And she plans to stay far away. 

She can't seem to get away from him, though. And what's worse is, as the days go by, as war becomes more immanent and the wizarding world is thrown into chaos, she doesn't seem to want to.

When everything seems to be falling apart, sometimes all you can do is hold on. Hold onto what, is the question though. What do you hold onto when the darkness that is the Dark Lord is snuffing out the light and any hope of the Wizarding World being free? For Draco Malfoy, who is seemingly surrounded by darkness, he's holding onto the one person who might just be smart enough to help him kill Lord Voldemort and finally end this war...Hermione Granger. It's an absolute long shot, a total Hail Mary, and as much as they both hate each other, they can't deny that they need each other's help. It should be simple, right? He feeds her information to help gather and destroy Horcruxes, no one finds out about them, Voldemort dies and the war is won. But nothing is ever that simple, especially in the midst of the darkest and deadliest war in history. A war where they are both on different sides. A war where they can do nothing but hold on. You might want to hold on for this one. (Deathly Hallows 1 & 2) (A/N: Description is definitely a work in progress, I promise the story is better than I make it sound. Please don't plagiarise. I hope you enjoy it.) (Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters. I only own any original scenes and dialogue I have written. I also don't own the cover picture. It's just one I found on google images).
