Author's Note: Just a little idea that came to me. It's not very good, actually. Just a one-shot. Reviews are, as always, appreciated. However, the satisfaction of knowing you read (view count, as a rough indicator) is enough for me. :) Favorites are nice, but those are big things for a little story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Hermes or Draco, but I do own the idea.
"Granger, Hermione."
I walked up dutifully. Accepted my roll of parchment. Spoke a few words, sat back down again.
More names are called.
Finally, a "Malfoy, Draco." rings out.
My head shoots up at the mention of his name. I see him walking. Strutting, actually. Accepting his parchment. Grinning and looking cocky. But his eyes, which meet mine for a split second as he walks past, betray him. The empty, haunted look in them.
Tomorrow, it was all over. We would no longer be Hogwarts students. I would go to St. Mungos to work. He would become an Unspeakable.
And I think back, to just a couple months previous.
Once upon a time, we were together. A pair. Draco&Hermione. Hermione&Draco. Not Draco and Hermione. Or Hermione and Draco. We were one.
But he made a wrong decision. And we've suffered the consquences.
I don't regret breaking up with him. I miss him. I deny the claims that I am in denial. Because really, I'm not. I admit I'm still in love with him. But I've gotten over it. Life goes on, even without him.
I don't regret breaking up with him.
Because after all, that was all in the past. All in yesterday. Tomorrow brings the future. Everything after tomorrow is tomorrow.
I don't regret breaking up with him.
Today is not yesterday. Today is not tomorrow.
