It's a Short Angst Fic. My first dark one...


"Because I love You"

Hermione looked out her window. She saw lightning sprint across the black sky and thunder clap right after it. Hermione was depressed. She didn't know why, when, or how she was depressed, but she just was. The next thing you know she put on her slippers and went out of the portrait hole.

Draco Malfoy sat infront of Hermione Granger and watched her stare out the window while gradually sipping on a drink. He looked at her with curious eyes. You think that you can understand her, but you really can't. She is spontaneous, even though she doesn't seem like it. The next thing you know Hermione got up, put on her slippers and ran out.

Draco doesn't normally do these kind of things, but he followed her. He followed her out of the common room and was 10 paces behind her constantly. She arrived at the entrance of Hogwarts. She opened the door slightly and slipped out.

Draco looked at her inquiringly and followed. She was running towards the lake. She was running very fast. Draco followed; Draco followed and ran as fast as he could to keep up with her. She positioned herself at the end of the lake, and was about to jump when a pair of strong arms grabbed her from the back. She screamed, she screamed and screamed.

"Stop crying Hermione! Are you crazy! Why are you doing this?" screamed Draco over the howling wind and thunder. Hermione turned around and started crying, pounding her fists on Draco's chest.

"Why doesn't anyone get me? WHY? Why does everyone label me as a bookworm. Why do guys run away from me? Why is my life like this. Why do I stay up until 4 am doing Harry and Ron's homework? Why am I so used?" said Hermione in hysterics.

"Who said you should do all that? Why? That's what I'm asking you!" said Draco. Hermione let go of Draco's strong grasp and jumped into the lake. She jumped into the icy depths of the lake. Draco didn't know how to react, but then he jumped in after her. The cold ice water hit him like a ton of bricks. He still opened his eyes and looked for Hermione. She was sinking; she passed out because of the immense cold. He mustered up all the courage he could and grabbed Hermione by the waist. He dragged himself up and go to the surface. Draco through her over and climbed out of the lake. He picked her up bridal style and went to the hospital wing.

"Mr. Malfoy? What did you do to Miss Granger?" said Madam Pomfrey rushing to Hermione and Draco.

"I saved her life, that's what I did. She jumped into the lake!" said Draco in an angry tone.

Madam Pomfrey said some spells and Hermione and Draco were dry instantly. Draco sat down in the bed next to Hermione and saw Madam Pomfrey forcing some potion down Hermione's throat. The next thing you know she is coughing and sputtering.

"Draco, you saved my life?" asked Hermione in a feeble voice after coming to realization in what situation she was in.

"Yes…" said Draco quietly.

"Why?" asked Hermione.

"Because I love you" replied Draco solemnly.
