"My Brown Eyed Girl"

~I hear a song; it makes me think of a girl I used to know...
I sing along when I hear it on the radio now...~

**London, England 2008**

I sat on the couch, just looking into space for so long. The night air was gently drifting through my window into my cold mansion. The fire even seemed cold. I don't know why it ever became this way. Ever since the Hogwarts
Graduation, my life just grew cold. Ice cold. I am thinking that it was because it was the absence of a real family. At school, at least I had people that I could boss around. Then, I was the one being bossed around, by my father. Since he has died, a little piece of me went with me. Cruelty. My cruelty towards others died away. Before my father died, I was a hopeless, loveless, ass hole. Now, I am just hopeless and loveless. I know that there is something missing in my life, but I don't know what. I have money, power, looks, and women. Well, no long term relationships or anything, but I still get my kicks...

I am just listening to the radio and thinking about how I can harass Potter at work tomorrow, when a song comes on. I snap out of my thoughts for just a second to listen to the song. It brings back a picture to my head. It was one of a person that I once knew. But who? I whisper the lyrics to my self, "My brown eyed girl, you my brown eyed girl..." I close my eyes and try to cling on to the dilated picture that is left in my head. I am dizzy with happiness and I don't know why. Brown eyed girl...


~Hey now where'd we go? Yeah days when the rains come.
Way down in the hollows. Ooooh yeah playing a new game.....~

**Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry 2004**

I was sitting in the Slytherin common room. Bored as usual. The two idiots were somewhere in the room, wrestling, no doubt. It was raining. The Slytherin room was cold, as usual. Nothing ever changed. 7 years at Hogwarts could make a person die by boredom alone. But does anyone care? At least it is only another 2 days until graduation. Then I will be able to be rid of this place forever. Until I send my own son there, that is. I can't wait to see how miserable he is when he has to go back year after year. That is how my father considered it. Like the famous saying, "Like father, like son." I am almost too much like my father.
I was growing tired of the noise from the common room, so I left. It was midnight on a Saturday. I had no class the next day, so why not go out for a walk. No one would miss me. So I grabbed my cloak and left. Thank God that Slytherins are too full of themselves to care if anyone is coming or going. So leaving the common room in the middle of the night is just as easy as finding a reason to harass Longbottom.
The air is cold and crisp. I just walked around the grounds for a little while. The rain is falling lightly on my cloak, but I just keep walking. I dont know where I am going, just as well, I don't care. I hear some noises in the distance. Sounds like I am not the only midnight wanderer...


~Laughing and a running, hey hey hey, skipping and a jumping~

Just to see who else could be up this early in the morning, I walked over to the edge of the hill. I shouldn't have bothered. It was exactly who I thought that it would be at 2:30 in the morning. Potter, the two Weasleys and Granger. The stupid dream team, the spirit squad of Gryffindor. Stupid Gryffindors. Potter was on his Firebolt, circling the little Weasley. The other Weasley idiot was walking around with Granger. As I watched them, running around like air headed morons, I was thinking about how happy they all actually were. I felt a tinge of jealousy. Nothing much. Just that I wish that I could have friends to be happy with. But they wont have anything when they are older. No power, no riches, no anything! Just their loving families, and their own pathetic excuses of happiness. I didn't notice that the sun was starting to rise. I had been sitting there, staring at all of them for a long time. They were beginning to walk back to the castle. Then, I saw her...


~In the misty morning fog, Oh baby, my hearts a thumping you,
my brown eyed girl....~


She looked up at me. She was the only one who saw me sitting on the hill. I don't know if it was a light trick, but I think she smiled at me. The sun wasn't even peeking out of the horizon yet, but there was a light and misty pink around the grounds. I looked at her, she was smiling at me! She was walking back into the castle; she turned around and gave me one last smile. Her smile was enchanting. It was like something sweet melting into my mind. But the one thing that I remember most about her, were here eyes. Those warm brown eyes. But I had to snap myself out of my thoughts. She was one of them! The dream team, the Gryffindor spirit squad. How could I think about one of them like that? She is who she is, and I am who I am. I can't change that at all. But dreams never hurt anyone.
She was in the castle, and I finally realized that the sun was already up. I was tiered, but I wanted to see her again. Maybe I would run into her in the hallways. Of course I would! She is one of them! I run into Potter at all random times of the day! She is always around him. They are best friends for God's sake. So I ran inside, hoping that I would see her and her brown eyes as soon as possible...


~I hear a song; it makes me think of a girl I used to know, Hey! Hey! Hey!
I sing along when I hear it on the radio now...~


***London, England 2008***

Snapping out of my thoughts, I shook myself of the memories and went to work. Now that Potter had defeated the Dark Lord a couple years ago, I was innocent of any ties with the Death Eaters. He even died before I was able to become an official member. I guess that is good. The song is ending. The faint picture is now totally faded. I wonder what ever happened to her. She is probably living with Potter or Weasley. Both are broke. I could have given her so much. If only I told her how I truly felt, or if I hadn't been so cruel to her all those years before, maybe something would have been different. Why did I have to fall in love with her on the day before graduation?
I throw my cloak on and walk out into the cool spring breezes. Another day in the ministry of magic. I want to walk today. It is nice out today, so I will walk. I walk slowly past Diagon Alley and into the ministry. Potter is sitting at his desk when he sees me walking by in a trance. He just shrugs his shoulders as I sulk by. I wish that I could ask him how she is. I am sure he would know. The day is just going to go on. I'll find myself a nice wife soon. Then I will have my son and he will go to Hogwarts, be a Slytherin, he will be an ass to all the other students and have an ego the size of the castle. Surprise, surprise. I always wished that something different would happen. Like maybe I would have a daughter, or twins! Or even children that go to Gryffindor! If I married her, I am sure something would be different. But, it is too late now. She probably doesn't even remember that little fling that we had...


~Now that the years gone by, Yeah now that I'm on my own,
I saw you just the other day, but my baby...you have grown~


It is four o'clock in the afternoon. I am tiered and a little depressed. So I think that I will just go home early today. I walk past Potter's desk. He looks up from all of his papers to stare at me. I bet that he is wondering where his daily snide remark is. I am too tiered today Potter. Just go on being the big shot that you are and leave me alone. So I just walk out and head home. I walk into Diagon Alley. Thinking that a warm drink would hit the spot; I sit down at the Leaky Cauldron for a butterbeer. Sitting down and enjoying the rush of warmth, I don't notice the woman across the room, sitting alone and drinking a butterbeer. She orders another one, which is when I realize it. I almost choke on the drink when I realized who that was. I look to clarify my hopes. I am right. It's my brown-eyed girl.
She is staring at the wall in front of her, lost in her own thoughts. I can't believe that I found her again. She looks so beautiful. She is different from when she graduated. When I last saw her, she was still a child. Now, she has grown into her beauty and has the air of a beautiful woman. Then I see him. Damn that Weasly. He walked into the room, hugged her and sat down at the table. They began to talk. I just sat there. My small piece of happiness had left me. But I can't take my eye away from her. She has grown up so much.
The hour goes by. I continue to order drinks until she leaves. I want to talk to her. Weasley gets up, hugs her, and leaves. She sits at the table for just a little while longer. Then, she gets up and leaves. She passes my table and stares at me, smiles, and continues to walk on. I jumped out of my seat and ran to follow her, but she was gone by the time I opened the door outside. She was lost in the London crowd. So I just walked home. I want to see her again. I want to talk to her, and hold her again, but how...


~I cast my memory back there, Lord, sometimes...
I am overcome, just thinking about it.
Making love in the green grass. Behind the stadium with you, my brown eyed girl~


***Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry 2004***

I went back into the castle. I did see her again. I was running around the corner, when I ran right into someone. We both fell, books and parchment everywhere. I shook myself and was about to give that person a verbal whiplash when I noticed who it was. It was her. She looked up and frowned. "Malfoy! Watch where you are going!" she yelled at me. I only laughed. I couldn't help it. She had a forming bruise under her right eye. That is where I pushed her book into her. Accidentally of course. I laughed a little more and kissed the bruise. She stared at me and laughed. Her eyes were smiling at me. "Malfoy. What was that for. First of all, if anyone saw us here, then they would have fits! Second of all, I don't want you kissing me! Third of all, well, third of all..." I had to shut her up somehow. So I kissed her. It wasn't one of those "This is going to be good" kisses, but an "I have been dreaming about this moment my whole life" kiss. Fireworks were everywhere but nowhere to be seen. She didn't resist either, only kissed back. I had to let go sometime, so I did. Her eyes were still closed, but there was a smile planted on her face. She opened them slowly and said, "Malfoy, you know we shouldn't." I didn't say anything. I couldn't. It is impossible to talk when you finally are able to see past her appearance. The scrawny child. I could tell that, that was her first kiss. I stood up to leave when she pulled me back down and whispered into my ear, "You know Draco Malfoy, I have always liked you, I just don't know if I am dreaming. If I am, I hope that I die, so I'll never have to wake up...." I could only smile at this. I am glad that she felt the same way. "Tonight" was all that I could say back. I picked up her books, handed them to her, and walked away. My heart was beating so fast, it wasn't beating at all, but flying. I could never admit it, but I was head over heels for this brown-eyed girl...
That night, I saw her leave the common room. She went outside. I followed her. I knew that she was looking for me. I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist. She leaned back and smiled. We just stood there for a couple minutes. Then she ran away. She was playing with me. She was running towards the Quidditch bleachers. I ran up behind her and grabbed her arm. She then jumped on my back and wrestled me to the ground. The grass was cold and wet, we were behind the Quidditch field, but we could see the lake. She just lay on my chest for a little while. I kissed her. She kissed me back. We needed each other, so, that night, both of our dreams came true. I just hoped that it could stay like that forever...


~My brown eyed girl. Do you remember when? Yeah we used to sing... Sha la la la la la la la la la la...
I hear a song; it makes me think of a girl I used to know. I sing along when I hear it on the radio now...~


***London, England 2008***


It has been a month since I had seen her. I go to Diagon Alley every morning, noon, and night. I want to see her again. I have to. I even go all day on weekends! But then I did see her. It was at Diagon Alley. I was walking around when I heard her sweet voice again. She was walking around with no one. She was wearing a yellow sundress with daisies on it. She looked so beautiful. I walked up to her and taped her on the shoulder. She turned around and stared at me with her dark brown eyes. "Malfoy. What are you doing? First of all, if any one saw us, then they would fits." I smiled. "Does it look like I care what any one else thinks?" I asked her. She only smiled up at me. Her eyes told me everything. She did love me and she missed me too. "I love you Draco Malfoy, and I cant live without you." She whispered as I lowered my head to kiss her. "I love you too." Then I kissed her. It was a kiss that threw all my bottled up love for 4 years at her. I am finally with Ginny Weasley, my brown-eyed girl.........
