A/N: Second drabble on this collection (yay!)
Written for the Ipod shuffle challenge and Favourite House Bootcamp challenge. Prompts/ Inspiration were the song 'Let Her Go' by Passenger and the word 'Emptiness'
Emptiness
It's funny how much a person could impact your life, without you even knowing it. It was typical really, that the reality of it would come crashing down the instant that person walked out of your life.
Life really was a bitch sometimes.
Draco Malfoy had recently realised this. He watched the rain falling down the glass panes of the manor windows and sighed sadly, staring intently at the gravel path where Hermione had walked a week ago.
The time really had dragged without her; every second felt like an hour to Draco… then again that could just be down to the sleep deprivation. Everything he once considered a haven, a sanctuary, now seemed to mock him: he couldn't sleep for fear of dreaming of Hermione, where he could see her but not touch her. The Manor seemed much bigger than ever before; where Draco now only had the house-elves for company. The lack of human companionship was just the tip of the iceberg, for the emptiness itself seemed to follow Draco wherever he went with a mocking omnipresence, not to mention the emptiness that filled his heart.
He angrily yanked the ring off the fourth finger of his left hand, and threw it hard, watching as it fell into the fireplace, and becoming engulfed in flames. A sickening sense of deja-vu overcame him, as he suddenly wished he hadn't let it go, just as he had felt when he let Hermione go.
Draco sank against the wall, bowed his head and finally let the tears fall. For the first time, he welcomed the emptiness that surrounded him…
At least no one was there to see him cry.
A/N: Short, but I only had the time-span of the song to write it. I don't like doing sad Dramione but the prompt suited the song and I kind of went with it.
Please review on your way out :)
