I Hate You: One-shot

Disclaimer: Anything sane that has been read in this fiction belongs to, non other than the great author who created the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling. Anything off from the real series belongs to non other than the peculiar mind of mine.

Reviews are very much appreciated.

This is a song-fic and I heard this song, "Waltz" and it was sung by a Filipino band called Hale. The melody was really beautiful and the lyrics just fit our favorite characters so well and so here it is. Enjoy.

Draco Malfoy had once again succeeded to insult Hermione Granger in front of the whole of Hogwarts. Of course, she didn't show such feeling in front of him. After a few more name calling, she walked out on him and proceeded for the Heads dormitory. Hurt, Hermione flopped on to the couch of the Heads common room and cried. Draco had crossed the line, once again. Yes, they had loads of rows like this in the past.

He entered the portrait hole, a smile on his face, as he thought that thought of his acting skills, but it was soon gone when he saw the crying form of the Gryffindor, in front of the crackling fire. He walked towards her and wrapped his arms around her. "Hermione, I'm…" but he was cut short when he felt her hit him on the chest. He expected that. He knew he deserved it. He knew he had pushed the button for her to go over the edge.

I hate the way you are

So mean to me by far

"I hate you!" she screamed. She hit him on the chest over and over again. "I hate you!"

The most frigid boy

That I have ever known

He whispered to her the words I love you. She pushed him away, stood up and looked at him straight in the eyes. "Liar," she whispered. "You say you love me, but you can't afford to lose your Slytherin pride," she said, tears streaming down her cheeks. "You can't even fight for me."

You speak loudly but

When they're not around

"Yes, your reputation, that's what you only think about," Hermione continued when she saw Draco was about to say something. "You always have to be seen as the… as the… as the pompous, mudblood hating, I'm-all-that, jerk."

You'll be just like them

So shallow and obnoxious

"And if they see you with me, what happens? Your oh-so-brilliant reputation will be gone." Hermione knelt to the floor. It hurt her to realize the man she loves couldn't defend her from everyone around them. He couldn't fight for her and what they felt for each other.

Please, that's enough, that's enough

Please, I've said this a million times before

And I'm sick

"If you'd ask me if I would tell Ron and Harry, my answer is yes, Draco. I would do that in a heartbeat. But you…" she stopped. She hesitated a little before continuing. "I've always wanted to end this, Draco" Hermione said, and she burst into tears again. "I want to Draco, so badly…"

But all that I need

And all that I breathe

And all that care for is you

She looked up at him, her teary eyes, full of sadness. But there was another emotion fighting inside her. The strong love she felt for the Slytherin. Over and over, she told herself to end it with him. To stop right there, because loving him wouldn't get her anywhere. However, her love for him always won over her pain and sadness. Because just being with him was bliss. It was enough, enough for her to stay and continue to love him. "But I can't…" she started as she let her head fall to her hands, "because I love you too much to let you go." She wiped her tears with the back of her hand. Draco knelt down in front of her and put his hands on her shoulders.

I hate you

"I love you Draco, so much." She looked straight into his eyes as she said this. "I love you."
