AN: Ok, first in a series of drabbles on their relationship, based on songs by the absolutely awesome band Death Cab for Cutie. :)
I highly, highly recommend you listen to the song (Your Heart Is an Empty Room) whilst reading, it's so gorgeous.

Disclaimer: The characters used and anything else Harry Potter related are not mine. Neither are the songs mentioned, lyrics and all. They belong to JK Rowling + co. and DCFC and co. respectively.

Your Heart Is an Empty Room

'Burn it down till the embers smoke on the ground
And start anew when your heart is an empty room
With walls of the deepest blue'

'Your walls are completely bare Granger'

It had been the very first thing he had said to her the very first time he came over. It had irked her then, that he would choose to greet her like that, but she had promptly forgotten her annoyance when he smirked and greeted her properly.

Three months later he brings it up again.

'So?'

'It's...unnatural'

She snorts, paying no heed to his absent-minded musings. She continues to read.
'So?' she repeats without looking up.

'You don't care that it practically screams ''I'm so desperately lonely and forever shall be!'?'

She sighs.
Finally acknowledging him, she turns to find him staring at her walls with a look of pure concentration and something else that is quite unidentifiable. Why Malfoy would be staring with such passionate zeal at her empty walls is another mystery of the enigma she calls her boyfriend.

'Malfoy, to be perfectly honest, no, it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I know that isn't the truth'

He glares at her presumptuousness, and receives a smirk in return.
He sighs now, although he doesn't quite know why, or rather, (more truthfully) refuses to acknowledge why.

'Why does it bother you so? I'd never thought you'd be one to fuss over such 'trivial' things as photos and personal mementos or, in this case, lack thereof.'

'I'm not. And it doesn't.'

She waits for him to elaborate.
He doesn't.

'I, I have to go. Business meeting - very urgent. Shall see you tomorrow' and with a chaste kiss on the lips he is gone, leaving her on her old tattered sofa feeling utterly perplexed.

The next day, (the 37th time he comes over, but who's counting?) he greets her with a curt nod, a hidden smile and a 'Your walls are not completely bare Granger', before leaning down to greet her enthusiastically before she can complain.

Behind her, on a bare white wall above the fireplace in her living room, hangs a large ornate silver framed mirror.

And there, perfectly framed, is the reflection of their kiss.

'And there on the street
Are so many possibilities
To not be alone'

AN:
The image of bare walls and, to an extent, mirrors are kinda negative, but here I wanted to show how they can be seen as something positive - bare walls = room and mirrors =a reflection, showing something that might not be seen easily, or otherwise.
I hope that came across effectively.

Read and review please. :)
