Hello stranger,
Yes I'm posting B and C right now... So I'll acknowledge first reviewer and people who guessed the song (if any, very few people like to participate with my silly games XD) the next time I post =]
Once again, got the idea from UbiquitousPhantom check out her story "A to Z"
Onto B! (Rated... K?)
B is for Best Friends
There were days when Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy were kinda best friends, and then there were days when they kinda weren't. Today it was a day when they kinda were.
She lay against him on a sofa by the fire reading a book. He was watching her, but if anybody asked he was just reading the book over her shoulder. He didn't know why he was watching her, watching the way she bit her lip when something dramatic was happening in the book, the way she sighed happily if something romantic happened. It just felt a little right. As they sat in silence, she slowly began to subconsciously trace circles on his upper thigh.
"Granger stop touching my leg," He said gently, wanting to add that it was driving him crazy.
"Huh? Oh sorry." she removed her hand and Malfoy missed it the second it was gone. He tried to concentrate on the book (some Muggle book, Pride and Prayers or something to that effect) but all he could think of was the way her hair smelled like cinnamon. Licking his lips nervously, Malfoy watched as she turned the page with her delicate fingers. He felt her hands were made for witchcraft.
And then again, she began to trace those damned circles and it felt unbelievably right, but it was wrong because he couldn't think about Granger that way.
"Seriously Granger, stop it!"
"Sorry" Hermione squeaked in reply. They sat in silence, the only sound being the cackling of the fire and the rustling of pages. Malfoy was glad that she had stopped because it was making him feel like kissing her under the stars and whispering sweet nothings in her ear. And that was so not Draco Malfoy.
But it hadn't stopped. She began again, and this time it was so light and hesitant, but he still felt it in every part of his body.
"Granger..." he exhaled and she removed her hand immediately. Before she could apologize, he grabbed her and turned around and kissed the surprise off her face.
When they broke apart for air she made a move to run away but he snaked his arm around her and forced her back down. They sat together each thinking about what had happened a few minutes ago.
"Draco... What are we?" The words tiptoed into the air hesitantly as if they were afraid of the answer.
"Best friends" came the smooth reply.
"Oh." Hermione turned and stared at Draco. He was avoiding her eyes. She gazed at the boy with the golden hair and the silver eyes. The boy who was never vulnerable, the boy who never broke.
"Best friends in love." The boy with the golden hair and silver eyes said softly, so softly that she almost didn't catch it. Almost.
"I like the sound of that."
And he smiled a little, and she smiled a little and it seemed like they both knew a secret.
AND SCENE
"You sit there in your heart ache, waiting on some beautiful boy to, to save you from your old ways."
Guess the song... who will get it the Coveted Virtual Cookies... oh the mystery!
So what did you think? Love, hate, unsure. Constructive criticism appreciated, and if you think it's crap please tell me why =]
xx kisses
The Queen of Lunacy
P.S Can't wait to watch the new Harry Potter movie, won't be as good as the book (they never are *sigh*) but I still really really really want to watch it =]
P.P.S Whoever guesses the actual name of the muggle book also gets the Coveted Virtual Cookies.
