Steps Away
One step away
Close enough to gather her up in his arms
Two steps away
Close enough to touch his pale lips against her soft pink ones
Three steps away
Close enough to run his slender hands through her bushy brown hair
Four steps away
Close enough to pull her close and lay his head on her shoulder
Five steps away
Close enough to hold her hand and spin her round like a bizarre kind of dance
Six steps away
Close enough to press there lips together, tongues dancing, rhythmically, beautifully
Seven steps away
Close enough to reach out and grasp her hand in his own
Eight steps away
Close enough to put his lips to her ear and whisper the three magic words
Nine steps away
'I love you'
Ten steps away
And she's gone. Always round the corner. He never got up the courage. No wonder he wasn't with her in Gryffindor. "Goodbye," he whispered, like he always did. "And good luck."
A/N I hope you like it. A one-sided DracoHermione. Hope you enjoyed it and -at risk of sounding cliche - please read and review.
