where the sea shines

warning : AU!

I gain no financial advantages by writing this fanfiction.

I still remember the night where Draco brought me to an unnamed beach. It was our first holiday after a long business trip. It was his idea to have this vacation, and it was also his idea to take me to the sea shore, laughing while covering my eyes with a blindfold.

"Where are we going?" I asked, but he didn't give any respond.

Then I could feel my bare feet touching the cold sand, "are we in the sea shore?" I asked firmly, tried to be brave yet I could hear my voice shaking and my body trembling in fear.

"Soon you will see, Hermione," he finally replied softly. I didn't know but I could feel him smiling. His hands guided me, we walked amid the quiet night.

My feet stepped in an unstabble surface. Is it a boat? I was outraged, did he try to bring me to the sea? With blindfold covering my eyes? Oh, no way!

"Hey Draco, can I open this blindfold right now? I feel uncomfortable …"

"No, Hermione, you can't."

I could hear the sounds of boat machine. I sighed, I felt annoyed. I hate it but I admit I was afraid of that moment. But in the next minute I felt his hands opened my blindfold. The first thing I saw was Draco, he was smiling, holding my hands tightly like he never before.

"here, Hermione. What I always wanted to show you."

I was looking for what Draco watching, then I found the sea was shining, sparkling like constellation of stars in the night sky. The view of sea shore from here was exciting. My mind was racing, "what is this? Could it be …"

"Yes, Hermione," Draco smiled, "bioluminescence. A natural phenomenon occurs because of enzyme luciferase in some animals causing them to glow, and as a result, we can see the sea is shining, like someone ever put a thousand lanterns under the sea. I know you always wanted to see this, after seeing the bioluminescent plants in Potter's house."

"I know it but why -"

"Because there are lot of things I wanted to tell you. First, I love you …"

I covered my mouth, surprised.

"Second, I want you …"

My cheek blushed. I couldn't help but smiling, letting tears fallen in my small chin. The sea was calm and clear, I could even see the reflection of the crescent moon on its surface. It was stunning, the sea and Draco. Both of them.

"So, Hermione … marry me?"

I cried. For the first time, I cried in front of him. And for the other first time, I admitted my feeling, "sure."

– End –

Finally finished! I didn't know why I ship Dramione so much. Sadly it's not an official pairing and Draco ended with Astoria unknowngross in the novel ;;v;;

I wanted to explain more about bioluminescence in this drabble but I was running out of time and I was too lazy to write it! XDXD

Planned to write some more drabble. Feel free to correct my grammar, english is not my first language (:

Thank you aaannd,

Mind to RnR?
