Hermione's POV
I let out a scream. I couldn't help it. I didn't want to fall, I don't want to die. How could this happen. It wasn't supposed to end this way. I was supposed to have a beautiful house surrounded by a white picket fence and 2.5 children that had my unusually bushy hair and his gorgeous gray eyes. Wait... gray eyes? I must be dreaming. Blink once, twice. Yep, still there. Damn I'm in hell. "Granger, why are you jumping out of towers in the middle of the night? What did you need yet another reason to give the 'Golden Trio' publicity?"
Draco's POV
I was practicing catching the snitch because I hate losing to Potter. So what better way to practice then at 2 in the morning? No distractions, no dumb and dumber and no leeching Parkinson.
I like coming out here to think also. Its not like I hate the wonder three, well I hate two of them, but Granger, I cant seem to get her out of my mind, its not like she has changed a whole lot in looks, same big brown eyes, same know-it-all look. Same bushy yet somewhat tamer hair. But there is something about her that has changed; her aura is different, sadder.
I'm coming back from practice when I see her. She's on the ledge, and then she falls. Man she can scream. I zoom to her and catch her in the nick of time. Of course this is when I say my smug lines. A Malfoy never shows his true feelings. "Granger, why are you jumping out of towers in the middle of the night? What did you need yet another to give the 'Golden Trio' publicity?" I would probably get slapped for that one if she wasn't practically melded to me. Who knew Granger was afraid of heights.
I brought her down to the ground and could finally breathe again. "So mind explaining to me why you jumped?" "I didn't jump, I fell," she said. I must have looked skeptical because she started yelling me trying to prove her innocence then next thing I know she falls to her knees crying. That's something you don't see everyday. I moved down next to her and did something a Malfoy was never supposed to do. I comforted her. I pulled her in my lap and rocked her back and forth trying to soothe her with my words. My parents are going to kill me if they find out this little moment.
