One last dance
She had been crying. He could tell at a glance. He hated it when she cried. She didn't deserve what happened to her. And neither did he.
Draco Malfoy walked up to Hermione Granger, and offering out a hand to the little girl on the swing he said
"Care to dance?"
She looked up, and taking his hand they started to dance around the playground. Neither noticed but as they did the flowers started blossoming, the graffiti slowly disappeared. They both closed they're eyes. Wishing away the tears, the memories, the pain.
They were 5 years old but they had been through more than most adults have been. Her mother died during childbirth, leaving her with a drunk abusive farther. His mother didn't care enough to stop the beatings. She would turn a blind eye, glad it wasn't her at the end of that fist.
Everyday they would meet in the park. Not caring about names they would talk about school, books and other things. They would check over each others bruises and cuts. They would dance until there fears forgotten. Then they would go back to the houses where it all happened.
5 years later a 10 year old blonde boy came rushing to the park. He ran up to the girl, tears streaming down his face, he told her that his farther was moving them to London that day.
"But you can't go! You just can't! I won't let you! I need you here! You promised you would stay!"
"But m'lady" (for this is all they called each other m'lady or good sir) "he is taking us now, I only just got out the house in time. But please promise me, in 5 years you will meet me in this park for just 5 minuets so we can dance one last time" He took her hand and persisted "please promise me"
"I… I... I don't know" she said, silent tears cascading down her face "You broke your promise, how do I know you won't break this one?"
"I won't! I'll be here in exactly 5 years time, I... I... I should go now"
he turned around and ran out of the park as she sat crying, wishing that she had promised him to come back for that one last dance.
