A Flaw in His Design
Entering the library, Draco gazed about, searching for a friend. What he found was Hermione, stooped over books, the sun hitting her skin in just the right way, accenting the smooth perfection of skin not hid by a robe. The bushy hair had been carefully tamed sometime in their fourth year and it curtained gently around her face as she leaned forward. Without seeing her eyes, Draco knew all to well about the chocolate brown eyes that seemed always seem to smile, despite what was on her mind.
His stomach lurched and the blond made a hasty exit, unable to bear the sight of the Gryffindor any longer. It was wrong. But his heart was racing and his cheeks flushed whenever he thought of her. Draco felt filthy. This had become a regular occurrence for the Slytherin. It sicken him just to think that he could possibly like a mudblood. Everything he had been taught and believed about their kind, battled with his heart.
Lost in thought, he slowed his steps, heading back to the Slytherin tower. A cry behind him caught him by surprise. Turning, ready for a good laugh, Draco was surprised to see Hermione on her knees, books scattered about. The laugh died on his lips as he found himself rushing to her side, helping her to her feet. The look on her face was indescribable as she realized Draco was the one helping her.
"Malfoy." Hermione said, her voice cautious.
"Granger." Draco said, frowning.
He silently watched Hermione gather her things. When she turned to leave, he grabbed her shoulder without thought. Spinning her around, he kissed her roughly on the lips. In the end, Draco had to accept he liked the mudblood, like it or not. There must have been a flaw in his upbringing.
