Day 7

.

Everyone's screaming, "You're never gonna get there"

Waking up shaking feels much better

And everyone saying, "Shape up and get a life"

If nothing goes wrong then how will it feel right?

Picture perfect doesn't mean much to me

Hermione dictated her life by the rules and standards that she set for herself, continuously raising the bar to reach for her own success. Not comfortable without a firm foundation of intelligence to carry her, she felt uncomfortable in situations that didn't require much thought or intellectual discussion. Not that she didn't like to have fun, but sometimes the brunette realized, that she was so good at studying that having a good time was harder to come by naturally.

The grass tickled. She could almost feel every blade poking and scratching against her skin. Her antsy fingers begged for something to do, cast spells, read a book, anything. Hermione was sure there were things in her hair, and it was driving her insane.

When Draco had charmed her immobile, the only gift he granted her was the ability to turn her head from side to side, no doubt so she would be able to look at him next to her. He seemed as comfortable as a fish in water. She bet he didn't feel all the pricks of green weeds and plant life like she did.

"What is the point of this, Draco?"

His eyes remained shut, taking in some last warm rays of an autumn sun, "Just relax. You need to relax more often; you're making yourself be too uptight. Have a little fun."

Have a little fun.

Turning her head skyward, she took in the wisps of soft cloud and felt a light breeze on her face. Although cliché as it was, she decided, she shut her eyes and rested like her boyfriend had for the first half hour they had been in the meadow.

If this was the first step to recovery from homework compulsive, she would take it.

Author's Note.

It's hard to come with creative stuff every day! This is turning out to be quite the exercise. If you'd like, leave a review with a situation you'd like to see Draco/Hermione star in! Maybe I'll incorporate it sometimes in the next 21 days…!

Draco as a hippie-figure? I don't even know how my brain comes up with this stuff anymore…
