This is m first time writing anything, much less a fanfic. Here's hoping it doesn't suck. I can't write dialog for crap, so I went with a drabble. Enjoy. Please don't throw fruit. Constructive criticism is appreciated.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. All characters belong to the great one Ms. Rowling. I'm just playing with them a bit.

Characters: Draco/Hermione, at least in my head, but you can plug in the ship of your choice.

You taste like bitterness, pain.

I revel in it.

Your screams are music to me. They feed my soul.

Every breath I take is tainted, because I only breathe you.

And you are poison.

Smoke

Ash

Snow

Ice

You've claimed me. Tamed me.

And you know it.

As much as you are my slave, I too am yours.

More wholly yours than ever I was my own.

The center cannot hold. I cannot hold. You are my center.

And you are broken.
