When you Believe
Hermione looked around the moon-lit hospital wing and held
back a fresh wave of tears. She stared
at the first bed, whose occupant looked so peaceful and different without his
glasses. His hair had its characteristic
messiness, but the look of peace upon Harry’s face was something Hermione only
remembered as a vague memory.
Her eyes drifted to the neighboring bed. She used to think Ron was the love of her
life, but it was actually the war that showed her that he wasn’t made for her,
or she for him. He was pale under his
freckles, the usual rosy tint his cheeks usually held when he cracked a joke or
tried to get out of his homework had faded into a shallow ashy color, just that
alone frightened Hermione to death.
And the last bed in the room. The bed closest to the window drew Hermione
to it like a moth to candlelight. The
moon cast a silvery glow on the blonde boy, illuminating him so that Hermione
wondered why it didn’t awake him. Draco
Malfoy had always been a pale boy, and now as a man, sick and weakened by war,
it was no different. Hermione stepped
closer to his bed. He was truly a
beautiful boy, beautiful and elegant in every way. Hermione noticed the shadows his eyelashes
threw over his face, his pale, almost blue lips slightly apart, his hair was as
fine as silk and it was in his face. But
not messy, never messy. He had a small
scar below his left eye from a long-ago occurrence. Hermione wanted to think it was simply a
minor flying accident, something that took place on a cheerful summer day
during one of their breaks, but Hermione never tried to delude herself, if it
happened to Draco, it was probably much, much, worse.
Many nights we prayed
with no proof anyone could hear
in our hearts a hope for a song
we barely understood
It was amazing what the last year had brought, and it all
came down to the night before, when Voldemort was finally completely
destroyed.
Ron and Draco were arguing, as usual. Ron never liked Draco, always said that a
Slytherin was never to be trusted.
Hermione always pointed out that he was dating Blaise, but Ron never
commented back, and that usually ended the argument.
Hermione was still unsure about how Draco became to be a
friend of the trio, but slowly it happened. She was the first to actually talk to him, she
told him she pitied him, that no one deserved to be as cruel and unfeeling as
he was, and then Draco did something she neither expected nor knew how to
handle- Draco cried.
It ws ifs if the floodgates to Hell broke open and stream
filled Hermione’s vision. All she saw
was this beautiful boy in front of her, someone she couldn’t bring herself to
hate, but couldn’t ever see trusting, and he broke down right in front of her.
Hermione shook her head and cleared away the memory. That was nearly two years ago, and she had
the present and future to worry about.
She didn’t understand how she got out of it. Out of the battle. It all ended so anticlimax that it made
Hermione want to rip out her hair and scream.
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
Its hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe somehow you will
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
(A/N) Nice little one-shot huh? I thought so too J
