Malfoy and Hermione sat in the common room for what
seemed like hours simply thinking their own thoughts without a single word to
one another.
Finally, Malfoy looked over to Hermione and saw her
for what seemed like the first time ever.
He saw Hermione Granger herself completely vulnerable, no guard up, and
not a single witty comment.
It was something he never thought he would see.
She was sitting on the couch, curled up in the
corner with her knees pulled to her chest. Her hair was in an incredibly messy
bun, so messy curls were falling down her face and into her eyes. Her dress she was wearing was wrinkled and
stained with tears.
Just then a tear fell down her splotchy face.
She was crying.
Besides his own pain, the look of Hermione Granger crying
was almost too much for him to bear.
Seeing such a strong, determined woman in so much agony because of one
persons cruelty made him sick inside.
Malfoy stood up and straightened out his own
wrinkled, dirty clothes and walked over to Hermione.
As he approached her, her eyes met his. She gazed into his soul and could see his
own sadness and anger.
For the first time that day, Hermione spoke. “Not now Malfoy . . . please.” She begged
and turned her head away from his gaze.
Malfoy continued to stare at her. He felt so drawn to her and he didn’t
understand why.
Then Malfoy did something he never thought
possible. He sat down next to Hermione
and put his hand on hers.
Her eyes darted in his direction. They were full of surprise and
disbelief. But she did not pull her
hand from his. Not even after he
started to gently caress it with his thumb.
“I’m sorry.
I understand how you’re feeling.” He whispered so quietly Hermione
almost couldn’t hear.
When he said those words she wanted to slap him. So many people today have been telling her
that they understand and they know what she’s going through and it all made her
want to hex them all into a bloody pile.
Then she realized something. He did know exactly what she is going
through. He is the one person who can
really understand her agony and can talk to her about her pain.
Malfoy then put his arm around her and pulled her to
his chest. She curled up in his
strength and simply allowed the tears she has been desperately fighting to hold
back fall down her cheeks.
They curled up together on the couch and fell asleep
in each other’s arms.
Malfoy and Hermione awoke to the sound of an auror,
Trish’s, voice.
“Well you two look comfortable”
They stirred a bit before they both woke up.
Hermione turned to Trish and asked, “What time is
it?”
“It’s four o’clock.
I was sent to check up on you two and it seems like you’re doing just
fine.”
They both get off the couch and stand in front of
Trish.
“You two should get out of this dorm and go do
something fun. I could escort you to
hogsmeade if you’d like.” Trish suggests.
“That’s really nice of you,” Hermione replies “but I
think I’ll just go to the library and read before dinner.”
“I’m kinda beat too. I just want to stay here.” Malfoy said. Hermione realizes at that point that this is the most pleasant
she has ever seen Malfoy. Even when
they were children he has always been cruel.
“Ok, well do as you please.” She said before leaving
them alone once again.
Hermione leaves as well without sparing a glance at
Malfoy.
