Draco though.
~*A Midwinter Night's Dream*~
"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind."
A Midsummer Night's Dream
-William Shakespeare-
Scene 2
Lily stepped into her flower-covered bower with her attendants. She smiled softly to them and said, "Leave me for a while. I wish to take a brief rest."
The girls, Cho, Lavender, Pavarti, Hannah, and Susan left quietly while Lily lay down on a bed of soft silk, in a moment, she was fast asleep. Looking around to see if the coast was clear, James stepped into the bower and smeared Lily's eyelids with the love potion. "When you awake, dear Lily," he said, "you will fall deeply in love with the first you see, whether it be human, beast, or monster."
He crept softly out of the clearing and into the wood. As soon as he had gone, Draco and Hermione stepped into the clearing, oblivious to the fact that Lily was asleep right next to them. Lily and all of her things were invisible to mortal eyes.
"Hermione, love, are you all right? I'm afraid we're lost. Maybe we should take a quick nap." Draco said.
"That's a good idea, Draco. I'll sleep over here and you can find yourself somewhere to sleep." Hermione replied.
Draco pouted, and drew Hermione into a tight embrace. "Why can't I sleep closer to you? You know I love to cuddle. It's so much warmer. How about here?" he chose a spot close to Hermione.
"No Draco, not so close, please, sleep farther away." Hermione pleaded.
"What's wrong Hermione? I'm your f***ing boyfriend for Merlin's Sake!" Draco exploded.
"Nothing's wrong Draco, I love you. It's just that, well, I don't feel comfortable like this." Hermione beseeched him, tears in her eyes.
Draco's looked softened. "Fine, Hermione. But just so you know," he pulled Hermione into a searing kiss, "I love you too." He cast a warming spell on the two of them and lay down.
After the two lovebirds drifted into sleep, Sirius came sneaking from the shadows and walked over to Draco. Taking out the love potion, he smeared it on his eyelids and said, "When you awake, boy from Hogwarts, you will love the one you have treated so cruelly." He then disappeared into the forest.
Harry and Ginny soon appeared, running and out of breath. They were so distracted that they didn't even notice Draco and Hermione asleep on the ground. "Harry, please stop running, I'm so tired." Ginny called out.
"Don't follow me like this."
"Would you really leave me alone in the dark and cold?"
"You can stay and take a chance. I'm going on alone."
Ginny sighed and sat down on a boulder to catch her breath. "I'm out of breath from this silly chasing. Hermione is truly lucky, to be able to look upon those emerald eyes without them shuddering in reply." Suddenly, she noticed Draco lying on the ground. "Oh my god!" she exclaimed, "Is he hurt or dead? Wake up Draco, if you're alive, wake up!"
Draco stirred and sat up, looking straight at Ginny. "Of course I'll wake up Ginny, I would run through fire for your sake. Ginny, you're as pure and beautiful as the snow all around us, more so, in fact. Where is that Harry? I'll kill him!"
"Don't say that Draco! Don't!" cried Ginny, not realizing his true intentions. "Even if he does love Hermione, Hermione still loves you. Don't go looking for trouble. Be happy with Hermione."
"How can be happy with Hermione? I regret all the times I spent with her. I love you, Ginny, not Hermione. Who wouldn't choose you above her?"
"Why are you saying this? How can you be so cruel to mock me like this? What have I done to you? I don't deserve this humiliation. Just because Harry doesn't give me a second glance doesn't give you the right to make fun of me! Goodbye, I really thought you were above this type of thing." Ginny ran away into the forest.
"She didn't even notice Hermione lying here. Hermione, stay where you are, never come near me! Every fiber of my being is now dedicated to loving and honoring Ginny." He turned and followed Ginny.
"Oh Merlin! Help me Draco! Help me!" Hermione cried, waking up from a nightmare. "Draco? Where are you? Tell me please, in the name of our love! Don't worry, love, I'll find you, no matter where you are." She ran off, leaving Lily alone in the clearing.
A/N: I decided to make their speech a little more romantic and Shakespearean. That explains some of the romanticizing.
