-1 Pride For Love
Chapter 1
The Crashing Persistence
Draco POV
"Granger… I love you" I said it I finally said it. But it was at the worst time. "What?" she had a look of confusion on her face "What did you say to me?" I didn't know how she was really reacting. "I love you" I said but she stood there just staring at me, the rain falling all around us silencing our every word. After minuets went by I spoke "Granger, since third year I have developed feelings for you. But as much as I have tried to kill them I have only felt for you more. As hard as it is to admit I can not ignore these feelings any longer. I wish to know how you feel. These past months have been unbearable to be around you for I only felt confused by you, you have caused me pain. Which is why I' am asking you to accept me" no answer.
Hermione POV
Accept him? The nerve of him! How could he confess his longing "love" for me or as he said "feelings" and then stand there and say all that! Oh how unfortunate for him! I was confused yet I could feel a pang of anger. "Malfoy I.." I don't not know what to say it was all so confusing. We have been "bonding" these past months yes, since being head students and sharing a dorm required some kind of civility. But this wasn't right I do not hate Malfoy. Not anymore he has changed a bit… or so I thought. But this… these words… were not right. He does not speak love to me he only admits how confusing I' am, how unsure he is of me, for all I know he knows nothing about me nothing about love, he feels nothing for me. I could only tell him the truth "Malfoy I' am sorry for this pain I have caused you believe me it was unconsciously done." I stopped myself before I said what I was about to and looked at him. "What are you saying?" he asked confused, go figure. "Malfoy these past few months we have gotten closer, but you do not love me." "How can you say that have I not just told you?" "Maybe you have Malfoy but believe me when I say this it did not sound like it. Apparently all I' am to you is confusing. You say you have tried to kill these feelings you find it hard just to say you love me, if you ask me that does not sound like love. Your feelings are confusing I do not understand them therefore I cannot tell you how I feel about you….. No.. no I can. Draco Malfoy for the past seven years your attitude toward others who do not add up to your expectations, your ignorant demeanor, your harsh words toward others and me, your selfish disdain towards me is all I see in you. Yes, this past years I have gotten to know a bit of you but you never tried to know me." I paused again he spoke "Granger your words are senseless you cannot stand there and tell me what I do not feel "Malfoy that is exactly what you are doing to me" "Granger you must know after all you are the smartest damn witch of our age how can you be so dull?!" he was raising his voice, how dare he "Granger I have only tried to push these feelings away because they should not be there they should not exist." what? "because of who I' am? Is it because of my birth!" I yelled "Yes the unfortunate state of your birth yes that's why! Do you not see that if I love you and people knew we would be in trouble! We would be shunned! I would, of all people would be shunned! I' am in no position to shunned! I' am a pureblood. Fuck I' am a Malfoy for goodness sake!" he shouted at me through the rain. Yes this man felt nothing close to love for me. "Yes it shows. You are a Malfoy it shines through you. You are just like your father!" You know nothing!" "Yes I do believe it or not. Just because I' am muggelborn does not make you better than me. You are ashamed of me Malfoy. You and all your feelings are ashamed of me! You are ashamed of your feelings for me! You have no feelings for me! Your pride is to important to you. You cannot stand there and say that you love anybody especially me! You cannot even love yourself. Malfoy your selfish disdain towards others, your ignorance, your cold demeanor, your stupid disgust towards me and others compels me to never love a man like you!" I shouted that last part right in his face he was only a mere inches near me. I could feel his breath against mine. "So this is what you think of me?" "Yes" and with that he walked away. He just left. Not a word more or less. I sighed loudly as I saw him disappear. So much for the bond we had formed. There was no bond I tell myself. It was a lie. How could I have thought he had changed. Fuck was I. I was so exhausted. I felt all the energy taken out of me. I rested against the soaked tree trunk. This was horrible. I feel so horrible yet when I hear his words again of love towards me I could only sigh feeling my energy leave me. I feel to the wet ground just lying there looking towards the dark sky as the rain washed away my tears. It felt so right to be drenched with freezing autumn rain. I closed my eyes listening to the sounds of the rain.
