FOREVER: Cruel World
The sun was setting on the beach; two friends and lovers sat and were deep in conversation. So young yet they had so much to talk about.
"Hermione, will you remember me? I have to leave to go to school in France since it has better standards than Hogwarts. I want you to have this," Draco Malfoy said as he handed her a silver ring with the letters DM on them and he kept one that had HG on them, "I want you to know that after four years I will see you again, I'll be here for the final year at Hogwarts."
Hermione looked deep into his eyes and for the first time realized how much she was going to miss him, for the first time she saw the lust, love and anticipation swirling in his eyes mirroring those of her own.
Not liking the fact that he was leaving and the silence between them, she gave him a copy of her favourite book, Hogwarts: A History.
He accepted silently and muttered, "Should have known you would give me this, NERD!" under his breath, jokingly.
At that Hermione pushed him back and he started running, Hermione trailing at the end of Draco's shadow. When they stopped, Draco began tickling her and Hermione kicked him while she was rolling on the floor laughing. He offered her his hand, she accepted and pulled him down next to her. They sat and watched the sunset for a while, unaware of a shadowy figure watching them from a distance.
"Draco, how can I ever forget you? You're my best friend, you were always there when I needed you. Now we're 13 and the next time we'll meet will be in our seventh year, nothing will change, I'm telling you. You've been there for me when even Harry and Ron weren't, that's why no one can know about us, which will break our friendship. You've been a brother to me when I had none."
"A brother, eh? I bet I've been more than that," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
He drew his face closer, Hermione closed her eyes to a gentle kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he held her firmly at the waist, nothing could separate them, nothing. They were getting passionate when they were interrupted by the swift footsteps and the sound of a cloak behind Draco.
Hermione drew away from him reluctantly and instantly recognized him. She knew what the consequences would be if they got caught but she was willing to take the chances.
Draco turned around, puzzled and stared into the eyes of the ice-cold grey eyes identical to his except that Draco's had a warmth to them that not many people were aware of.
"Father.. I.. I.. I'm.."
Draco was cut off by the silent but deadly glare of Lucius Malfoy. If looks could kill, Lucius would not be standing.
Lucius put his cold hand to his son's arm and began to lead him away and then he stopped.
"Draco, you are not supposed to disgrace your family like this! If someone else but me found you two here, I don't know what would have happened! You are to stay away from this filthy little MUDBLOOD! She is nothing compared to the honor of your own blood is she? I will see that you don't see her again, if it's the last thing I do!" he stormed off, Draco close behind him.
Draco only turned around once and that was to blow a kiss to Hermione. His silver ring was flashing in the now dark sky.
Even though only thirteen, their love was as strong as ever and no force on earth could keep them apart forever.
Hermione returned home, her third year at Hogwarts was to begin in a week.
The sun was shining on her white silk bed sheets causing Hermione to wake up with a start. Memory was flooding back to her and the events of the previous day. Life was so unfair! That wouldn't stop her from living her life, she had to get ready for Diagon Alley, she was to meet Harry and the Weasleys there.
Trunk ready, she drove with her parents and stopped in front of the Three Broomsticks. Her parents had stopped and talked to a couple of wizards. She was left to wander; she came to a halt as she saw Hogwarts: A History in the window of Flourish and Blotts. She turned and saw the face she most wanted to see. A sweaty and tired Draco ran towards her and wrapped her in his arms. He never wanted to let go.
"Hermione, I couldn't leave without saying goodbye. I'll miss you so much. But I'll see you in four years. Don't forget me!"
"I never will, Grey," she said and called him a name that no one ever did which only made him more tearful.
"Hermione I have to go, we're traveling like muggles on an aero plane. I love you."
"Me too."
As quick as lightning, Draco was gone luckily no one had seem them.
She stepped into the shop and saw Ginny sitting quietly and reading a book which was required for second years.
Hermione crept up behind her and put her hand on her eyes, causing her to jump two feet into the air.
Ginny heard hearty giggles and instantly recognized who it was.
"Hermione! I was looking everywhere for you."
They stepped out of the shop and met Harry and the rest of the Weasleys. One look at Hermione's face, they knew something was wrong but they were smart enough mind their own business.
Draco sat staring into space, seated next to his father in the first class section of the plane.
"Draco, get over it. She was a filthy little mudblood, she is not too hard to get over. Draco, you are a Malfoy, you should know your values," said Lucius in a harsh toned voice.
Lucius got up to use the lavatory.
Draco took out the book that Hermione had given him, he had gotten up to the part about the enchanted ceiling of the great hall when out slipped a note in Hermione's neat cursive handwriting.
Anxious, he began to read.
Dear Draco,
I knew this wouldn't last for long, it was too good to be true. I bought this book for you so you would always remember the school you went to and me. I want you to know it is impossible to forget you. I never loved anyone like I did you. I liked this poem, it was written by Emily Dickinson . Here it is:
I held a jewel in my fingers
And went to sleep
The day was warm, and winds were prosy
I said, "Twill keep"
I woke - and chide my honest fingers,
The Gem was gone
And now, an Amethyst remembrance
Is all I own
I just think that poem is just beautiful, it applies so much to reality, between you and I. Anyways, I can't wait till you come back,
Lotsa Love,
Hermione Granger
Draco heard his father approaching, he quickly shoved the note to the back of the book and pretended to read.
Please review, I'll thank you in my next chapter. Feel free to ask any questions, if any!! Please Review!! :)
