Broken Kite String
Hermione and Draco were
sweethearts. Draco was the bad guy that Hermione the good girl fell madly
in love with. Draco, at first played along with her to spite Harry, his
arch enemy.
Then, he slowly found
himself attracted to Hermione, who tried wildly to transform him into
a new person. But he was unwilling to accept it. He couldn't believe
he actually liked a mudblood.
"Why? Why, Draco, why must you delude yourself? You love me, you
really do!"
"Granger! ha! Can't you see, I was just leading you on, to spite
your lovesick Potter."
Hermione was heart-broken. It tore her to bits to find out that her
'boyfriend' didn't truly love her at all.
In one unfortunate accident, during the battle with Voldemort, Harry
was killed - by Draco. Draco was at the death-eater's conference at
the wishes of his father, Lucius. Harry couldn't see in the thick fog
and aimed his muggle-weaponary, a dagger, at Draco, who in self-defence,
was forced to use the deadly curse on Harry. Harry, who had been maimed
to lose his wizarding powers by Voldemort earlier, breathed his last
on the spot.
Draco felt guilty. It hurt him to no end. He saw Hermione shed tears
at Harry's funeral. he was hiding behind a tree. he thought Hermione
loved Harry. It tore his heart out to learn that his beloved could show
such raw emotions for someone else, and he was guilt-stricken to cause
Hermione such pain.
Hermione didn't listen to Draco's explanation. Although she still loved
him, she hated him at the same time for toying with her feelings, and
more importantly, for causing the death of her best friend. She knew
Harry had a crush on her, she once thought to accept him, but couldn't
forget Draco totally.
One day, Draco decided to leave Hogwarts. Although it was halfway through
his final year, he called it quits. He found life meaningless without
Hermione's love and understanding. And once again, submitted himself
to the dark arts and became a death-eater.
Before he left, he owled a letter to Hermione.
Hermione was surprised to see a letter for her delivered by an unfamiliar
brown-feather owl at breakfast the next day. She opened it, remmants
of her tearful night spent pining for Draco evident in her bloodshot
eyes.
What she saw, frightened her. What she saw, gave her hope:
Dear Hermione,
I know you cannot forgive me for causing the death of Harry. but please
let it be known that it was an accident. I had to kill him
in self-defence. Mione, I love you, I really do. I admit that at the
start, I pretended to love you to spite Harry. But I soon fell head-over-
heels in love with you. But I had too much pride to admit that to you.
You do believe me, Hermione?
But now, all is too late. I have committed the biggest mistake of my
entire life and I must pay. I do not wish for you to forgive me,
but you must know. I wrote this for you:
I don't
wanna
Bind you one second longer
I know that
The sky's magnificent
Please, just look above.
Where has the kite in the sky gone to?In a blink of an eye,
It's gone.
Who cut its string,
Do you know who?
What happened to us before?
The journey's been long,
I've forgotten.I do understand
If you want to fly away
It would be better if you're free.
Looking at you soar through the clouds,
I stand at the mountain top
And shout at you
Even though you cannot hear me
Just find your dreams
Live a better lifeYou will know
That I've not gone away
I'll be in your heart
Memories, they're all blown away
Hermione, I love you. I really love you. And I always will.
But when love ends, the best thing I can do for you is to let you go,
I shall not bind you to me anymore
and give you your freedom.
Love, Draco.
Hermione was stunned into silence. Parvati and Lavender tried to call
after her but away Hermione ran. She decided to go to Professor Dumbledore.
"He would know where Draco went....Oh please oh please, don't let
me be right..."
Professor Dumbledore was not shocked about Hermione's arrival in his
office, in fact, he was expecting her. He told Hermione that Draco had
left Hogwarts and had chosen to become a Death-Eater.
Hermione was right.
Her suspicions confirmed, she wanted to stop him.
She wanted to go to him, and tell him how much he loved him and how
she had forgiven him for Harry's death. But, the problem is, how?
Where will she go to find Draco?
~Sorry, but i'm discontinuing this story. I've all along been
very supportive of fanfiction.net and its many fanfics written by talented
young aspiring writers from all over the world. I thoroughly enjoy Draco/Hermione
fanfics too. And one day, i suddenly had the urge to start writing this
fic, but to my utmost horror, I found I had no idea how to finish it.
And i'm forced to admit that i'm a lousy writer.yes, i did not take
the responsibility to complete it. I started the fic, and i'm not completing
it. Someone once told me a duty of a writer is to be able to be responsible
to his/her readers. and I'm very sorry that I've failed in this way.
So go ahead, flame me. But be assured that I wrote this with one ultimate
reason, in the hope of being able to produce a story which will grab
the hearts of a few of you, like how many other fics on this site have
been able to do for me. So i hope, that you'll forgive me. Thanks.
I may one day decide
to continue writing, or start a new fic, write a new poem. I think i'm
more gifted in the poetry-writing genre. so if that happens, be sure to
support me. i love you guys, especially to the FIVE who reviewed this
fic. Thanks. You all brightened up my day.~
Sincerely, VeraIlloni.
