Rain
A/N: Written about a month ago. I think I know where this one is...I just don't know if the song fits.
Take a photograph
It'll be the last
Quidditch star Draco Malfoy stood in the center of an empty arena. The game was over, and he had won once again. But it didn't really mean anything to him anymore. Sure when it happened it had meant so much to him. But, now standing alone it meant nothing compared to everything else. So he quit it, quit the game of his life.
Not a dollar
Or a
crowd
Could ever keep me here
He would miss it of course but he couldn't stay. Not with the current situations looming over him, constantly getting closer and more desperate. He couldn't stay, running from her. She was everything to him, everything that was important to him. And he had let her down, again.
I don't have a past
I just have a chance
His only chance to make it up to her was now and he wasn't going to pass that up. Draco would suck up his Malfoy pride and apologize, honestly and sincerely apologize. Because he hadn't been much of a husband in the past, not much of a husband at all. Never home, never caring.
Walking out of the Pitch he knew that he did the right thing. Carrying those thoughts with him all the way home, he was pleased to see the house lit signaling that she was home.
Not a family
Or honest plea
"Hermione?" Draco called stepping inside the small house, "Are you here?" He looked around as he took of his boots and when he finished he saw her standing at the stairs hands on her hips. "You, are late", she said glaring at him with all the might in her frail body.
"I know I am Mione but I had to talk to the coach about something important and-"
"I knew it!" she yelled walking back upstairs mumbling curses under her breath.
Remains to say
"No", Draco said following her upstairs, "You don't understand, I-"
Turning on him he could she the tears shining in her eyes.
"Draco Malfoy, I have been married to you for 3 years, I've waited up for you, I've loved you, I've given up my dreams for you. And what have you done for me? Nothing...except break my heart every time you make up some excuse for why your late or why your never home or why you never spend time with your own son!" she yelled then quietly she spoke again, "We're over. I've had enough of this"
Rain, rain go away
Come again another day
Finished with her speech she walked into their room and slammed the door shut, waking their son in the process. He walked out of his room rubbing his eyes and trying to make sense of what woke him up. When he saw Draco he ran over screaming in delight.
"Daddy! Your home!" cried Garret burying himself in the arms of his father. "There's my boy"; whispered Draco in his son's ear as small tears fell from the silver eyes. "How long are you gonna be home?" the small boys asked when the hug ended. "Not very long. I have to leave right now actually"; Draco said looking into his son's eyes. They were the same as his in every aspect. "Daddy no!" cried Garret scrunching up his face, trying to wiggle back into his father's arms. "No!" Draco began forcefully, "you listen to me. I have to go away. Mommy and me are having a rough time and your going to have to be the man of the house for awhile. Do you understand me?"
All the world is waiting for the sun
"When will you be home?" Garret asked tears now also spilling out or his eyes. Swallowing the lump in his throat Draco spoke, "I don't know, but remember this. I love you and Mommy more than anything in the whole world Alright?"
"Ok", the little boy replied and with one last hug Draco got up and began to leave. Garret tried to latch onto him but Hermione appeared out of her room grabbing him tightly. Draco walked out the door not looking back but hearing the screams of his little boy ringing through the small house. That was the last time he saw either of them.
Is it you I want?
Or just the notion of?
A heart to wrap around
So I can find my way around
Safe to say from here
We're getting closer now
We are never sad
Cause we are not allowed to be
Rain, rain go away
Come again another day
All the world is waiting for the sun
To lie here under you
Is all that I could ever do
To lie here under you
Is all that I could ever do
Rain, rain go away
Come again another day
All the world is waiting for the sun
