Hello!
Thank you for reading, but remember that I do not own any of the characters, or even the books:'( I only own the plot.
For Jay. You're the best, seriously.
Everyday, he waited outside. For some people, his actions might have seemed unusual and crazy. However, he didn't see it that way. He saw it as a statement, a declaration, almost, of patience. He always waited outside, never leaving his place on the bench. He looked in its direction, not next to it, not under it, not above it, always directly at it. It, as a matter of fact, was a house. A beautiful 2 story house with white walls, and a red roof. Never looking away, never moving away. It was his hobby. Just looking at it.
Inside the house, lived a girl. Although she lived alone, living in silence and solitude, she was content with her arrangement. She had beautiful brown hair and eyes with the rich, creamy color of chocolate. A small face, with small eyes, a small nose, and small, pink, lips. She lived happily.
It took a few days for her to notice the man outside her second story window. But when she did, she saw, and realized. The man had blond, almost white, hair. He had deep gray eyes, and the kind of complexion girls swooned over. His expression was sad, however, hopeful, like a child waiting for his mother at the playground. It was abnormal for a man of his age to look like that. He was thin, as if he hadn't eaten for a few days. He was sitting in a way that would probably result in a slouched back and a sore neck if continued for a couple of hours. However, it didn't seem like he minded.
She debated her options. She could go talk to him, and ask for his reasoning to be present in front of her house every morning, staying seated until late night. She could request him to leave her alone, which, however, would be rude. Regardless, she could not just leave him alone, and ignore him.
She decided to walk outside and go talk to him.
Out she went, walking straight to the man.
Draco Malfoy.
"Malfoy? What are you doing here?"
The man, whose gaze had followed her as she walked to him, blinked.
"Malfoy? Would you mind telling me what you're doing here? In front of my house? In muggle London?"
He slowly grinned, as if she had said something amusing.
"Granger. Hermione Granger." He managed to say.
"Yes, Malfoy. I realize that Hermione Granger is my name. Now, tell me what you're doing here." She said, irritated.
"I missed you."
Hermione was taken aback. Missed her? Draco Malfoy, pureblood majesty, had missed her? He was going insane, she concluded.
"Malfoy, we need to get you to St. Mungo's as fast as-"
"I missed making you mad, making your ears fume as I make fun of you. I missed your eyes as they narrowed when they laid their gaze on me. I missed the feeling of regret after you stomped away. I missed your hair, sticking up with static as you got more irritated. I missed devising ways to make your life miserable. I missed everything. I missed everything about you."
"Ok, Malfoy. You're crazy. How about we get you checked-"
"I don't need it. I only want things to go back to the ways they were."
Hermione sighed. "So, you decided to wait in front of my house, wasting your life away, until I came out to talk to you?"
"Yes."
There was a pause.
"But…Granger? Why is it that I don't want to make you mad right now? Why is it that the reason why I've been sitting here for the past week, is not so appealing anymore?"
'Because you're insane, ' Hermione thought.
Sighing again, Hermione sat next to him on the bench. "Then go, Malfoy. There's no reason for you to be here."
"I don't want to do that either."
"So you're just planning to stay here until you find a reason to go away?"
"I suppose so."
Standing up, Hermione saw no reason to stay seated next to him any longer. "I'm going to go. Malfoy, you should too. Go home and eat something. You look like you haven't done that for a few days."
And she walked away, leaving the man in his seat on the bench.
And so, he waited.
…That is the end of the very first chapter!
