A/N: Dramione one-shot.
Hermione sat in the pouring rain, her bushy brown hair flattened long ago from the pounding rain that refused to relent. She closed her eyes tightly as a choked sob escaped her lips and echoed through the trees. She buried her head in her hands once more and gave into the onslaught of tears that had been threatening to break her flood gates for some time now.
Ron had been caught, kissing that swine Lavender Brown. What Hermione thought was the worst part; was how she felt about it. Her heart didn't heart, she didn't feel as if she had just been betrayed. She was numb, numb beyond comprehension. She couldn't feel any emotion; she felt as if she were a bit to which pain can be thrown in, but not processed.
She paused in her self-pity a moment to stand and draw her wand as a crack emanated from some place nearby. The most warning she had that it was Malfoy was a flash of platinum blonde hair before he stepped out from behind a tree, a slightly somber look on his face and his head hanging.
Hermione narrowed her eyes a bit and held her wand at the read; blushing slightly at the tears still cascading down her rosy cheeks.
Malfoy looked up and stared into her eyes for what seemed like an eternity, making Hermione's rosey blush turn a deep scarlet. Malfoy smirked.
"Hello, mudblood." Malfoy greeted, taking an advancing step toward Hermione, his classic smirk etched upon his face as if it were a permanent appendage.
Hermione took a shuddering step back every time Malfoy tried to close the gap between them, the tears that had already been pouring from her eyes doubled in time at the sound of her "nickname". But they didn't do that out of sadness, they did it out of anger. She could feel the numbness she had felt previously starting to ebb away in waves as her senses sharpened. Her wand still shakily pointed at Malfoy, she growled under her breath. A completely feral sound that was new to Hermione and apparently Draco too, as his eyes widened.
"I am so tired of being stepped on by you!" She bellowed at the shocked Slytherin, "I am so tired of being stepped on by everyone. And I am especially tired of that blasted word you keep calling me!" she was screaming so loudly birds that were at least 100 yards away took from their branches into the cold twilight air.
Malfoy was so shocked he just stood there for what seemed like hours before narrowing his eyes a bit. Hermione was breathing heavily and glaring at Draco. She opened her mouth to continue her rant and almost screamed as Malfoy's lips crashed onto hers. She felt herself defrosting, the numbing feeling completely gone now and she started to respond to Malfoy's kiss.
A/N: That's all I got :/
