Drabble Thirty-Five: Mistakes
"I know we've both made mistakes." she admitted softly. "But we can make it through this."
Hermione placed her hand on Draco's shoulder, rubbing small circles where her thumb rested. He sighed, reluctantly moving her hand off from it's place.
"How am I supposed to forgive myself?" he muttered angrily at himself.
"It's ok-"
"Don't you dare say it's alright." Draco cut her off in a dangerously low voice.
"I've forgiven you, you know." Hermione murmured, threading her arms around his neck from behind, hugging him.
"It's not that." he muttered, holding her hands for reassurance. "I haven't forgiven myself."
She shook her head. "You couldn't have done anything. It'd have blown your cover."
He yanked away from her despairingly, running his hands through his hair.
"I could have."
"Stop torturing yourself!" she cried out, finally showing her true thoughts. "I've had enough of you lamenting your decision to not prevent me from getting tortured. You couldn't have done anything. So stop! It's not your fault."
He hung his head, shoving his hands in his pockets as long locks of fine blonde hair fellows his hardened grey eyes.
"Draco." she strained quietly, reaching her hand out to touch his face.
"Draco." she repeated, holding his face gently and tilting it to look up at her. "Look at me. Look into my eyes."
He took a deep breath and met her eyes. The brown and grey clashed heavily before Draco looked away, instead finding the ground to be quite fascinating.
"I love you." he said, without any hesitation.
"I love you, too, Draco." Hermione threw her arms around him again.
"Mistakes are what makes us human." she grinned at him who finally smiled back. A true, genuine smile.
