Author's Notes: My effort for the Weekly Drabble Challenge # 25 for IATQO, which had to include:Element: Sun, Bonus Pairing: Draco/Hermione. A drabble is a short fic containing 100-500 words for those of you who don't know.
This is my second HP related fic and my first ever drabble, the idea took me and wouldn't go away till I'd put it down on paper!
Auburn Curls
Draco opened his eyes slowly, the sunlight burning and blinding him. Slowly his focus returned and he shifted his line of vision to look at her face.
He loved the way the morning sun highlighted the auburn in her hair, he mused for a moment over the delicate curve of the curl that trailed across her eyes and then he noticed how the sun gleamed on the tear that weaved its way slowly across her cheek.
He realised a little too late that her eyes stared lifelessly at the sun. A lump caught in his throat as he moaned her name. Hermione.
Fear gripped him as memories flooded his mind. The darkness, the fear, the screaming, the smoke………The final battle. They'd won. He remembered her smile as the sun rose but then there was pain, hot searing pain. And now she laid there. Dead. Her auburn curls the only thing that moved in the morning breeze.
The End
