He had stopped wearing his robes.
It wasn't unusual during the warmer months for students to do so; however Malfoy had always worn all of his Slytherin pride. Now, his vest was always gray and the crest always displaying the four houses instead of the emerald serpent of his house. Now, he tugged constantly on the house required emerald green and slippery silver pin strip tie, as if it was constricting like a boa around his neck. His fingers were especially restless when they'd pass each other in halls, or when Malfoy would take to staring at her and the boys during class. Sometimes she'd catch his eye across the great hall, curious but cautious as to why this strange behavior had started, what it meant. Each time however she was left disappointed as his eyes of smoke turned away, as if shy to give an answer.
The thought of Draco A. Malfoy as shy left conflicting feelings in her head because this was Malfoy she was thinking about, the boy who had always turned his rather pointed nose up at her because she was muggleborn, and the boy who had constantly taunted and teased her to the point of tears. But he was also Malfoy, the young man who had been tasked with horrible things by a madman in order to protect himself and his parents, the young man who had lied to his rabidly psychotic aunt and other death eaters when asked to confirm who they were in Malfoy Manner in order to summon the dark lord. He was the man who had lifted his chin and accepted Voldermort's welcoming embrace in the middle of a battle field only to turn around behind enemy lines and start cursing them which gave the students, gave Harry a fighting chance. Without that betrayal, many more young lives would have ended that day, those who'd rather fight then submit. It was the first time in Hermione's extensive memory that she liked Draco Malfoy.
A new drabble series for Hermione and Draco from Harry Potter.
I decided to do drabbles with a ceiling of 500, meaning the drabble can be anywhere up to that number but no more but it can be less.
This first one is actually something I wrote a long time ago when I was flirting with the idea of writing a short fanfiction on them, however I don't have the time for suck a thing so a drabble would suit my time needs more. If you wish to send me a prompt I'll use it, other then that I'll be free handing it more or less. Enjoy!
Prompts will be part of the title of each chapter, this one is called "Strange Things" as the prompt could be considered that.
