Hey lovelies! So I'm starting a new multi-chap for the best couple ever: DRAMIONE! This is just a prologue that flowed forth from my pencil one study hall. I know it's EXTREMELY short - other chapters will be SOOO much longer.
I don't really have a clear idea of where I'm going with this, but I do know for sure some scenes that I am planning, so I'll be working towards them. Bear with me.
Disclaimer: I really do NOT see why these are necessary. If I owned Harry Potter, do you REALLY think I would spend time on here instead of like... staring at Tom Felton forever?
The first thing he noticed about her, as she trudged into the Heads' Compartment on the Hogwarts' Express, was that she looked tired. Like she hadn't slept in months. She made quick and quiet work of stowing her belongings overhead before taking a seat and looking silently out the window.
She looked so tired.
Her amber eyes looked tortured, and even as he thought the word his mind flashed to the scene that had taken place in his home months ago (the same scene that still frequented his nightmares). The scene of her writhing on his marble floor in agony, as his cruel aunt inflicted Crucio after Crucio, and he stood there wanting to stop it, to stop it all, but not having the courage. (Yes, she's a Mudblood, but she's still human, isn't she?)
Her eyes look like she's carried the weight of the war on her shoulders all these months, like she's still haunted by it 9just like he is).
He places his book (a Muggle love story that quite intrigues him) in his lap and leans across the compartment to stretch out his hand silently as an offering of peace. He wants no trouble with her this year (Merlin knows they've both seen enough hatred to last a lifetime).
And even though he doesn't say these words out loud, when she places her hand in his and locks her amber eyes onto his silver ones, she seems to agree with him completely.
She's too tired to hate him anymore anyways.
Yeah, short. I know. Again it WILL get much more interesting. The rating will remain T for now... it is very likely that will CHANGE later on...
Review PLEASE!
