: As Far As East Is To West
5th year
Thoughts like, "I can't believe what I just did." And "What was I
thinking?" were running through my mind. I had just come from double
potions with Snape, who had partnered me with that ugly git Malfoy. He
had given us an extremely complicated and difficult potion to make, so
Draco and I were both bent over the cauldron at the same time, working
hard mixing and chopping ingredients. As we finished, we stood up at
the same time, and our eyes met, I stared deeply into the
steel-grayness of his, and just for a second, I could swear I saw a
soft, blue flicker of compassion in them. Then he looked away and began
to clean the potion bottles. As we were walking out the door, heading
to our next class (Defense Against The Dark Arts) we both tried to make
our way out the door at the same time, his shoulder brushed mine and I
shuddered, simply because his flesh was so cold, he turned around and
started to say something, but he saw Ron and Harry approaching behind
me "Watch were you're going you filthy mudblood!" he yelled. Ron
started to say something back, but I stopped him, telling him it
wasn't worth it.
7th year
I was sitting on top of a broomstick with Draco in the middle of the
quidditch field, watching the sunset.
"Hermione," he said "I'm sorry, tonight will be our last night."
"W-What?" I stammered. "Maybe it would be easier if... well, meet me
tonight at midnight up in the Astronomy tower." "Okay." I said, fearing
what he was going to say next, but he didn't, we sat in silence for
the rest of the evening, when he turned around and flew me back to the
castle. "I'm sorry Hermione," He said silently under his breath. "I
truly am." Then he headed off towards the Slytherin dungeons. "What
did he mean... Oh well, I guess I'll find out tonight." I muttered as
I set my alarm for 11:45.
(dream)
A violent burst of flame shot up from the ground. In the middle of it
stood a figure, it was tall, and had a good build, but just a
silhouette. Suddenly the figure dropped to it's knees, and let out a
howl of pain.
I woke with a start, sitting up and sweating. "What the hell was that?"
I said to the darkness. I jumped as my clock rang, and got out of bed,
proceeding to get dressed, I thought I'd tell Draco of the dream, but
suddenly thought better of it. I began to head towards the Astronomy
Tower dressed in tight, black robes. I met him there, he was wearing
dark, emerald green robes, my favorite ones. He immediately took me up
in one breathtaking kiss, and said the words I will remember for the
rest of my life "I don't want to do this Hermione, but I have to. I'm
leaving tonight for Paris, the death-eaters are coming for me, and I
couldn't bear the responsibility of what they would do to you, so I'm
leaving. I'm so in love with you, and I want you to remember that no
matter how far we are, I will find you someday, for my love for you
will always be great, as far as east it to west.
