AN Yes, this will be short. Just a small&&minor spark of inspiration that I needed to get out of my system. x)
Hermione Granger was not your average girl. She had a mind. No, not a mind full of lusty thoughts like Pansy Parkinson. She had a mind, that pondered things and wondered out of curiosity. She loved with reasons other than sexual needs. Yes, she was a practical girl. So how did she explain to herself when she found herself falling for a boy? A boy named Draco Malfoy, to be exact. It was a mystery to her. But she could find herself drowning in his deep grey eyes. They were like a storm, pulling her into the calm before the storm. And suddenly, she knew, when she fully fell for him, she would be heartbroken. No, it wouldnt be like a Romeo and Juliet heart break. For she didnt lust him. And no, he would never have lusty feelings for her. It was a one sided love. As muggles say, "Love is blind". Shakespeare has made that clear by the famous line uttered by Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet "If love be blind, love cannot hit the mark". No, Draco Malfoy would always dodge, if the arrow even came his way. All he looked for was a sexy body, which just so happened to be Pansys. And that day, Hermione Granger stared into Draco Malfoy, bursting with confessions.
Today, Draco Malfoy felt different. He felt her brown eyes stare at him all the time. It was uncanny. "What do you want, mudblood?" he forced himself to ask her. But he didnt feel the hatred in his words. Obviously, she could tell. She didnt seem upset;; she smiled, as if she knew what it was all about.
"Your words, theyre empty. Youre nothing without words. You may seem strong and tough, but you feel anyways. You dont want to call me a mudblood. I know that. I see that in you." Tears started to streak down her face. "Why cant you just let your feelings out to someone? Cant you see that someone out there cares? Perhaps they can see through you? Everyone wants to have someone love him or her. You just dont express it the same way. I can see that. I want to be the one you let out your sorrows to. I dont want you to hold back. I know who you are. And maybe the reason why I love you is because I can see through your façade?! Youll never understand, Draco Malfoy." Hermione Granger spun on her heel and ran off. She knew he would never admit it. Hermione Granger knew that the one she loved was in denial. She didnt care shed just admitted it to him. And now, she knew why she loved him. But sometimes, things just werent meant to be. Her heart was broken, but at least… that day. She saved his life from becoming who he wasnt meant to be. And thats what love is wishing the best for who you love, even if it doesnt benefit you.
