This might seem like a complicated fanfiction story to all of you, but it was bothering me and I just had to write it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, but someday I'll own my own creative story. And I don't own Every Thing You Want by Vertical Horizon.
All I have to say, is enjoy…that's all I ask…

Hermione POV
Hermione had the perfect boyfriend. He was everything she wanted, he was someone she needed, he was everything to her and sometimes Hermione wished she could be like him. He said all the right things, always at the right time. But there was something missing. So many times, she felt as though he wasn't enough for her.
Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you're here and you don't know why
Ron never meant to harm her, but sometimes he was a little rough, accidently knocking her to the ground, making her do things that got her hurt.
But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return
But no matter how many times she questioned if she actually loved him, actually needed him, she would brush away her concern and would walk hand in hand with him.
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why
Draco POV
Draco would watch the 'perfect couple' everyday. Somehow wherever they kissed, he was there watching; whenever a hug was given or something was whispered in her ear, he would be there. But he was also there when she would fall to the ground, skinning her knees, or when Weasley would make her stand up to someone who had called her a bad name, she always got hurt. He caught the sadness in her eyes, even if no one else did.
Draco wanted to show her what a boyfriend who loved her would do. He had pushed against all his prejudices when he had first seen her try to defend herself after someone had brutally attacked her, for no reason at all. But then, it was Lavender Brown. And Draco had reason to believe Weasley had something to do with the fight.
You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say
In a way, Draco was envious of Weasley. He had the brightest girl in the whole school. She was clever, kind, beautiful, and Draco believed her to be understanding of other peoples' positions. Draco wished he could say the right things to Granger, instead of being cruel to her. And Draco just knew that Granger didn't love Weasley.
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why
But there was nothing Draco could do. All he could do was watch her sad eyes, and watch for the day when she would finally stand up to her boyfriend. Then everything would be all right. And Draco wouldn't have to ache inside everytime he saw them together.
But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for
Hermione POV
Hermione was getting tired of Ron running her life. He would tell her when he wanted to see her, tell her when to leave, tell her when she needed to do her homework; the list went on and on and it was driving Hermione mad. Sometimes, when she could get away with it, she would hide out in the library or the Room of Requirement.
Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't return
And that's when she began to notice Draco. He always seemed to be watching her with those sympathtic, understanding eyes. She bagan to look at him more than an enemy, more than someone who made fun of her. He seemed to avoid her a lot when she would come past him alone, instead of hurting her.
Hermione started to wonder what it would be like if he was her boyfriend. How would he treat her, what would he say to her? She began comparing Ron to Draco. And Draco to Ron. Often in her mind, when Ron did something, she would think, would Draco make me do that? Would Draco say that to me?
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why
Hermione couldn't handle Ron anymore.
"It's over, Ron." She told him.
Ron looked at her in anger and pain. "What? Why?"
"Your not good enough for me." She said, then realized how much that would hurt him. But for some reason, Hermione felt it had to be said.
"Oh, you think your better than me, do you?" he snorted. "You should be grateful for what I do for you. You're a lot more fun since you've started dating me."
"So you tried to change me on purpose?" Hermione said angrily. "That's the only reason?"
"Well, you needed someone. I could tell." Ron said softly.
"Well, thanks, but no thanks. If I needed someone, I could get them myself." Hermione laughed dryly as tear went down her cheek.
"Could you? With the way you are now, I'm sure. But who you were before? No way." Ron shook his head. "It's not over, I still want us to be together." '
"I don't want us to be together. I…I don't even know if I love you." Hermione said slowly.
Ron's eyes filled with pain, then quickly flashed with anger. "Don't love me? That's what your worried about? We've still got plenty of time for you to love me."
"Ron, you don't understand!" Hermione said loudly. "I've dated you for months! You would think that after all this time I might feel something for you, but I don't!" She lowered her voice. "And I don't think I ever will."
"I'll give you space." Hermione wondered how Ron could change emotions so quickly. He was actually begging.
"No, Ron. We're over for good." Hermione said firmly.
Ron looked at her one last time before turning and walking away.
Hermione felt like she was set free. But reality crashed down on her. She was alone now. Harry and Ginny would most likely side with Ron because they would be hearing his story about right now.
She broke down, falling to the ground, tears streaming down her face. Suddenly she felt arms come around her.
"It's okay, I'm here for you." She recognized the voice. Draco Malfoy. She raised her head and turned in his arms to look at him.
"You'll stay?" she whispered.
Draco leaned his face down and touched her lips with his.
"I'll stay. Always." He answered her.
I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
And I don't know why
Why
I don't know
Hermione smiled. "Thank you." She laid her head against his chest.
As time had passed, they began to see that they had no reason to hate each other. That powerful emotion that they had once held for each other soon turned to shy fondness.
Their love grew with each day and as time went on, Hermione found that she had everything she wanted in Draco, everything she needed in Draco; he said all the right things, at all the right times. He meant everything to her and her life was perfect.
As for Draco, he felt the exact same way.
