Can not touch.
Can not hold.
Can not be together.
Can not love.
Can not kiss.
Can not have each other.
Hermione was smiten with Draco since the first time she ever saw him. Well, she didn't exactly love his attitude towards her, Ron and Harry. But she looked past that, and she saw something she truly couldn't understand. Something was drawing her to him. So, in her sixth year at Hogwarts, she had enough. She wasn't going to lie anymore. She was going to get over him and find someone else to love. But her heart was saying otherwise. Her heart wanted her to talk to him, to hug him.just be alone with him..
~*~
Draco Malfoy was sitting up in his dorm room thinking about one special girl. And that girl was Hermione Granger. Since about his third year, he had come to love her. Ever since she slapped him, something in him changed. He realized she was the only one who would ever fight with him. She could keep up with his insults and throw one back at him in no time at all. He admired that about her. She kept him on his toes.
'Man.how did I ever fall for a girl like her? What was I even thinking? No one would accept us. That is if she could ever learn to love a beast..' [A/N: sorry, Beauty and the beast moment there! I couldn't help myself. I love that movie..] Draco thought as he stared at a picture he had taken of her last year. He smiled as he remembered that day.
She was outside by the lake sitting in the cool upcoming summer's breeze, wearing a beautiful lavender sundress. No one was watching, so he took a picture of her.so he wouldn't be without her. If he couldn't have her, he'd always have a picture. But then he thought of the consequences if anyone knowing. He'd betray his family, his house and it would completely ruin his reputation. Draco got off his bed and thought 'Ah, screw the consequences. I just want to talk to her.' As he went off in search of the know-it-all.
~*~
Must be strong and we must let go.
Can not say what our hearts must know.
How can I not love you?
What do I tell my heart?
When do I not want you here in my arms?
How does one walk away from all of the memories?
How do I not miss you when you are gone?
Draco had asked the Fat Lady if she had seen Hermione leave the tower. She said that she had indeed left. He looked first in the library, where she normally was. But to his surprise, she wasn't there. He had looked for a good forty-five minutes, when he gave up.
Draco made his way down to the lake to his spot where he liked to come and think. But When he got there, he found someone already sitting there. Draco cleared his throat, Hoping to attract whoever it was' attention. Suddenly, the person turned around.
"Oh. It's just you Draco. Hello." It was none other than Hermione Granger. The one person he had been trying to find.
"Hi." He said very nervously. 'Since when have I become nervous around her?' he thought.
"Come sit with me. The sunset is beautiful." Hermione guestured to the setting sun.
Draco complied with her request and sat down next to her. He looked out at the sunset. She was right, it was beautiful. One of the best sunsets he'd ever seen.
"You're right. You are beautiful." He said as he was staring at her.
Hermione was shocked. He hadn't meant that about her surely. "Did.did you .did you really mean what you just said?"
Draco looked away as he blushed. He hadn't meant to say that out loud. But why not. Here I go.. "Yes. I really meant that."
"Wow. I mean. I would have never expected...Thank you Draco."
"No problem Hermione."
They just sat there for a while, staring at the setting sun until she broke the silence.
"Draco? Can I tell you something?"
"Sure." He wondered what she could possibly have to tell him.
"Umm.I.I really lov-like you." She almost had said she loved him! 'No, I can't tell him that!' she thought as she plunged ahead. "I have ever since first year. Well, second year I really hated you for what you said, but I looked past all that. I saw something in you. Something good that I thought could bring out a totally new you. I was drawn to you, whether you were good or bad." There. She'd gotten it out. 'Finally' her mind was saying.
".I like you too." Draco replied. He couldn't believe his luck! She liked him back. Possibly even loved him! And she'd been the first to say it too. 'She really has got guts.'
"You.You do?"
"Yes.Do you remember back in third year when you slapped me for insulting Hagrid?"
"Yes."
"Well, you really knocked some sense into me. You helped me realize that I don't want to be like my father. I wanted my own life. Not one chosen for me at birth! You made me realize that you, and only you ever truly brought meaning to my life. If it weren't for you, I probably would have killed myself by now. I began to fight my father and his wishes, all because of your sparkling eyes when you got another 'Perfect' on your paper. It was you!"
"Draco.." Hermione's eyes shined with tears. She began to cry.
"Shh.Don't cry." He pulled her into his arms and held her tight as she cried on his shoulder.
Can not dream.
Can not share, sweet and tender moments.
Can not feel, how we feel.
Must pretend it's over.
Must be brave, and we must go on.
Must not say, what we've known all along.
How can I not love you?
What do I tell my heart?
When do I not want you here in my arms?
How does one walk away, from all of the memories?
How do I not miss you when you are gone?
How can I not love you? [A/N: there is a pretty music section in this part of the song.so go and listen to it!]
After Hermione was done crying, she asked Draco what it all means.
"I guess it means that we are together." He said.
Finally, her senses came back to her and she started to panic.
"But we can't. You're a Slytherin and I'm a Gryffindor! Not to mention both our houses and friends will think we betrayed them. What about Ron and Harry? What'll they think? Oh, this is bad. No one would accept us. I cant..no..no.." She started to trail off into more silent tears.
"Shh. just don't worry about the world. Let's just have this night. This moment. Forget the entire world exists for just tonight. Be with me because..because I love you."
She stopped crying, wiped away her tears and said, "I love you too Draco.."
He leaned in and kissed her. Soon, it became a passionate kiss. As much as he wanted this to last forever, he stopped.
"Get up." Draco told her.
"Why?" Hermione looked confused.
"So we can dance under the stars.so I can dance with my good luck star."
Hermione was overcome with joy and happiness. She complied and danced with her love. Danced like there was no tomorrow. Danced like it was their last night together.
Must be brave, and we must be strong.
Can not say, what we've known all along.
How can I not love you?
What do I tell my heart?
When do I not want you here in my arms?
How does one walk away, from all of the memories?
How do I not miss you when you are gone?
How can I not love you..when you are gone?
A/N: How did you all like it? Good it was, I hope. I had a lot of fun writing this, and I have already started a second chapter. I'll get it up as soon as possible. Please, don't forget to Review!!! I love reviews! I live for them!
