CRAZY – Andrew Garcia
Draco Lucius Malfoy knew that he was down to insanity. He, the most proud young pureblood in this corrupted wizarding world, felt something toward non-other than Hermione Jean Granger, the most proud mudblood with irritating – yet adorable – know-it-all attitude. Bloody hell.
At first, he just knew that his feeling toward the feisty girl was hate. But love and hate differed only by a thin string, which he already cut. Merlin, he was definitely crazy.
He followed her every day, hopping that he would find something to embarrass her, but end up learnt everything about her. He realized now that he was just searching for reasons to find her over and over again.
He knew her favorite food (which was lasagna that she always ate with sparkling eye), her favorite space (in the corner of library where you could see the great lake), her irresistible habit (sighing contently when sun hit her face through the library window in sunny days, which made him want to throw her back to reality by shutting the sigh with his mouth). Hell, he even knew her favorite color (which was aqua blue) that her best-bloody-friends didn't know.
His rattle about that irritating mudblood in his common room annoyed his dorm mate, he knew that. But they didn't understand. His feeling towards her was unlike any other things he ever felt before. They didn't understand. It was complicated.
That damned feeling made him betrayed his family, his name, his pride. He wanted to make her safe (safe in his arm actually, if he got lucky). He couldn't deny what he wanted any longer, he wanted her. Thus, he changed side. He got his chance by saving the Golden Trio from his own manor, saved her from his crazy -literally crazy- aunt.
He still remembered when she deliriously asked, "Why?" while she was finally tucked safely in bed after a huge amount of cruciatus. Her half lid eyes was so full of curiosity and wondered and oh so innocent.
He couldn't help himself and answered honestly, "Because I'm a coward, Granger. I couldn't let myself saw you suffered like that."
To his surprise, she smiled. "No, you're not. You just prove yourself to be brave," she said before sleep took her in. For the first time in forever, Draco felt a weird sensation in his heart. It was like a warm spread for his heart to his entire body. It felt wonderful.
Since that point, he helped the Golden Trio destroyed that fucking-literally crazy-maniac-kink-idiot dark lord's (well, he still couldn't bring himself to call that inhuman being with its name, pity him) soul vessels (they called it horcrux, whatever). The Scarhead barely tolerated him and the Weasel hated him to dead. Many said he was out of his mind, but he didn't care. They didn't understand that his insanity was placed on a goody-good Gryffindor Princess who trusted him. He was really head to heels for her. He was crazy.
With his help, the light side won. He was reborn from pathetic pureblood to heroic blood traitor. Frankly, he was kinda proud. He used that opportunity to court his insanity properly. It take a lot of effort and time, but thanks to his witty personality and genius mind - wink, wink - he got what he most desired. His insanity. His know-it-all Gryffindor Princess. Finally his from today onward.
He was finally success to get Potter and Weasley've (Hermione said she wouldn't date him if he called her bestfriends offensive names. Bugger, it was for fun purpose.) permission to marry their adoptive sister.
Now, in the blazing beautiful light, his insanity looked bloody amazing in white, smiling only at him while dancing in their wedding day. He was beyond happy.
"What kind of sorcery you put me under, Witch," he whispered, swirling her. "I am literally head to heels for you, My insanity. You make me crazy."
Hermione giggled. "I love crazy," she said. "But you're not that crazy, Draco. You are just a man, and mine."
He smirked, "Yeah, I can't be that crazy. I get my insanity only for me after all. Just mine."
She smiled at him. A very breathtaking one. And then she kissed him and nothing mattered anymore. Nobody would understand but she did. He did everything that he could and now he reaped the outcome. Crazy indeed.
