Hmm, I was inspired by the Wallflowers song Bird Cage, with this story. It
was going to be a one shot thing, but turned into something more, and might
end up with a sequel... go figure right?

So sad that you took it so badly
And acted so madly
Feh. What was her problem anyway? It wasn't that big of a deal anyway. Only to her. Why did I even care?
You know why, that little (annoying) voice in my head said.
Yeah, yeah. I know. But I'm Draco Malfoy! I always win!
Not true, that voice spoke up again.
How would you know? Great, I'm losing it! Speaking to myself and the voice in my head. Shouldn't even have a voice in my head! What is this! The whole world's coming to an end.
Couldn't sleep. Not with my bed so empty and cold. I hated to admit it, but I needed her. But it didn't matter anymore. If this had happened before He died (at the hand of Saint Potter) it would have been different, but it didn't. He was dead and I found Hermoine.
Actually I found her before that. Ended up telling the whole world about it too. Said, screw it, to the whole damn world. Spat in my Father's face, and said fuck you to Lord Voldemort. Then Hermoine grabbed hold of my heart and ran with it. So naturally I ran after her.
When Potter killed Him, all that were under his spell were let free, including, surprising to everyone, my own Father. And this new Father of mine, whom I had never known, adores Hermoine. It was Heaven! Everything was perfect. Potter, Weasley and I even got along, all for the sake of Hermoine of course. It wasn't too bad.
Then for Christmas, my family invited Hermoine and her parents to the Manor. It was wonderful! Christmas morning we all sat together and opened presents, sipping on eggnog. Then after a quick breakfast we all went outside and had a giant snowball fight, men versus women. The women won of course. Then we all ate Christmas dinner together. After that our parents talked together while Hermoine and I snuck off to spend some quality time together.
After the holidays we went back to school. Everything continued as normal. Hermoine and I had been made Head Boy and Girl this year. So naturally we share a dorm. We sleep in my bed mostly. Hehe.
Now it's almost the end of our seventh year at Hogwarts. Just one more month. I can't wait for the end of school to start out on our next step in life. But lately Hermoine's been real moody. Really violent mood swings. N.E.W.T.s coming up of course. She was stressing about all our tests. But really, did she have to take it out on me?
Can't take it! I got up and went to her room. I quietly opened the door and looked across the room at the sleeping form that was Hermoine. Outside was the gray, pre-dawn.
So scared like a baby by the morning with sunlight unfolding Your eyes have turned red And are holding me inside your story In the end you'll have started on a new one Of anguish and delusions
The light fell on her face. She was beautiful, even if her eyes were red from crying. My heart skipped a beat as I thought, I did that to her! I made her cry!
He smiles just like a magician Who's just cast his illusions of castles and sandstones on the backbeach And bright lights within your reach The sounds of a warning by the morning of hound dogs coming for me With the ropes leading back to your knees And you looking straight at me
I smiled, as I remembered when we first realized we were meant to be. We were decorating for the Valentine's Day ball last year. She had a basket of flowers that she was decorating everything with. Roses, and lots of them. There had been some tension between us for a while. I had warmed up to her a bit, then I ended up saying something rather nasty. She ran out crying. Did I mention it started raining when she got outside?
On your knees in the rain with a basket of flowers just for me
The wind was blowing hard and I was soaked through by the time I reached her. I wrapped her in my arms and just held her. There was a noise, a beautiful sound, coming from the trees around us. Bells, they sounded like hundreds of bells. She looked at me and said, you hear that? I did that for you.
As the bells in the trees up above all swung and rang softly You said you rang them for me
For me. I smiled again. No, I replied, I did it for you.
For me.
And then I kissed her. Our first kiss. Outside, in the pouring rain. And it was perfect.
Hermoine, don't do this to me! I need you. It only happened this morning, and already my world was falling apart at the seams. Don't keep me away.
God, I love her.
Watcha think? I hope this story gets as good reviews as my other one! It's kinda short I know, but I think it's perfect! luvs and smooches
