Dramione:
The Beauty of Fear.
"But I love you Draco! Why don't you understand?" screeched Pansy Parkinson, throwing a cushion across the almost-empty common room.
"I can't be with you, Parkinson," said Draco, looking away.
"Don't call me by my last name," said Pansy warningly. At that, Draco Malfoy started to walk out of the Slytherin common room.
"Wait—Draco, where are you going? This isn't finished!" Pansy screeched, though she stayed still.
"It's been finished," said Draco quietly, taking one last look at Pansy before he walked out of the doors.
"How did it go? Is she alright?" asked Hermione Granger, who seemed to be waiting for Draco.
"I don't think she's alright. But does it doesn't matter. I've got you, haven't I?" said Draco, looking at Hermione.
"Yes...But do you want her hurt, Draco? You've still got classes with her, you know. It's quite uncomfortable if you don't make sure she's not hurt…" Hermione suggested as the two of them started to walk.
"She'll be fine," said Draco reassuringly.
"If you're sure… Where are we going anyway?" Hermione asked.
"Anywhere," Draco said.
"Is the library alright? I want to check out a new book…." Hermione trailed off, apparently lost in thought.
"Of course, love," said Draco, smiling sweetly.
They both made their way to the library, Draco scowling at some of the passer-bys that were staring at the pair as if to say, don't say anything. Hermione took note of this and decided to walk a tiny bit faster than she had been, feeling uncomfortable.
Finally reaching the library, Hermione's eyes brightened.
She looks so happy, Draco thought.
Smiling, she took various books from the shelves, flipping the pages, wondering which ones to pick, and Draco helped her reach some of the high shelves. Hermione was so caught up in finding a book that she didn't notice Draco staring at her adoringly.
I'm so glad she's mine. She's perfect.
Finally, when Hermione found the book she was looking for, they both left the library, Hermione with a small, leather book in hand with a title that was too small for Draco to read.
"Where next, my love?" asked Draco, wanting to spend more time with her.
"Anywhere," said Hermione.
They walked and walked, Hermione just caught up in her book. They looked through empty corridors, but none of them suited their interest.
Hermione, suddenly having an idea, led the way. Soon they came to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom door. "Shall we go in, then?" suggested Hermione. Draco shrugged and Hermione pushed the door open and Draco followed, making sure no one was watching.
As soon as Draco walked in, Hermione stood there, frozen, glaring at a girl who sat on the floor, crying her eyes out. She looked up, and to Draco's horror, he realized it was Pansy Parkinson.
"So is this why you dumped me, Draco? For this—this filthy mudblood?" Screeched Pansy, tears streaming down her face and gesturing at Hermione.
"Don't call her that," said Draco dangerously.
"What?" Pansy exclaimed, "You've been called her that for—for years! And—and now that you've gotten all cozy with her, you expect me to stop? After all this time, Draco—Draco, I loved you—"
"Stop," Draco ordered. Hermione was frozen still, behind Draco, staring at Pansy with confusion. Slowly, he drew his wand, hiding it behind his back.
"What now, Draco? I'm serious! I loved you—from—from first year! I thought—I though you felt the same," said Pansy sadly.
"Obviously not," said Draco harshly. "There is nothing between us, Parkinson—"
"DON'T CALL ME BY MY LAST NAME,"
"I'll do whatever I please, Parkinson," said Draco strongly. At his last word, Pansy began to cry again. "Let's go, Hermione," said Draco, gesturing Hermione to the door and putting his wand back in his pocket. Hermione hesitated, still looking at Pansy, and then slowly walked towards the door. With one last look at Pansy, she walked out, feeling stunned at what just happened.
