Draco/Hermione

The Notebook Challenge

.

His expression was heard and unable to read. She usually knew how to read his body language pretty well, but she was at a true loss.

Every since she had opened his door, and he had set his eyes on her form, they hadn't said one word to each other. That isn't to say that Hermione didn't try, but with her heart on her sleeve and intense emotions pumping through her body, she just couldn't see to get the words out.

Finally, the blonde scoffed, turning away from the brunette intrusion, "What do you need from me, Granger?"

"I… I just-" With only a string of words, she felt self-conscious; she shouldn't be there. Shouldn't be asking him for advice, or even worse, doing what they did last time. When Ron and she got in a spat, she would run to his common, a Slytherin haven. She walked towards him.

"Something wrong in your perfect Gryffindor relationship? Has it been tainted by the flaws of the real world?"

"Ron's a good boyfriend to me…"

"You're bored! You're bored and you know it!" He snarled, coming closer, hands clenching and unclenching in frustration, "You wouldn't be here if there wasn't something missing."

Half-heartedly she tried to defend her boyfriend, "There isn't anything missing… we're happy."

"Then why did you come to me?" Roughly, he cupped her face with one hand, brought her closer with another and kissed her, "You know this is what you're missing, Hermione. You and Ron are missing the passion."

The smartest witch of her age had tears in her eyes as she stared back into grey irises. The only reason she was crying was because she knew he was right.

Prompt quote: "You're bored! You're bored and you know it. You wouldn't be here if there wasn't something missing."

My vision for this collection is this: inter-house relationships, particularly Slytherin-Gryffindor. Not just Draco/Hermione (but not excluding). There are four couples I'm going to be focusing on, and I'm going to try to go in an order. For example, if Draco/Hermione was drabble 1, drabble 2 will be Ginny/Blaise, then drabble 3 Pansy/Ron, etc. The couples are: Draco Malfoy/Hermione Granger¸ Blaise Zabini/Ginny Weasley, Ronald Weasley/Pansy Parkinson, and Harry Potter/Daphne Greengrass. This collection will consist of 25 drabbles. Please note that these drabble might be in different universes from each other.

I realize that this collection seems very out of the blue. Which, in some ways it is. I've had a burning passion to write some more serious drabbles, maybe even oneshots. I've done so by taking up multiple drabble challenges at HPFFCF. However, I think this lack of true humorous inspiration is making Hogwarts is Still a High School suffer. So, from now on forward, please note that this is now my main drabble series and Sixteen Candles is my main chapter story. That means this will be updated more regularly and frequently then HiSaHS. After saying this, that doesn't mean that HiSaHS will never be updated. It will be, when I feel inspired to use one of the quotes. But for now, I think it's best just to put it on the backburner.

Thanks so much for the continued support!
