Late that night, Draco re-entered the Slytherin Common room. His hands were shaking slightly, his hair was out of place, his grey eyes slightly puffy from where he had shed secret tears of loss and pain.
'She did it because of me….'
He had no intention of staying in the common room with his house mates- he wanted to go straight to his room and be alone. He was safer alone. No one could hurt him when he was alone.
"Hey, Malfoy!"
Draco paused- he wouldn't escape so easily now. Turning, he found Blaise walking towards him, a huge smirk upon the idiot's face, Crabbe and Goyle close by. "Hey Malfoy, that bitch Granger, did you hear she mashed herself up in the girl's bathroom?"
Draco's blood began to boil. Unknowingly his fists clenched, yet he shoved them in his pockets and forced a smirk upon his pale thin lips. "Yeah, the mudblood eh? What happened?" He didn't need to know what happened. He knew it was because of him, and he didn't need to hear the rumours that had no doubt started.
The Slytherins had known Draco had been with Granger, they had bet him to. He had manipulated that. He had feelings for her, and had known the only way they could have been together was if the Slytherins all thought he was using her. Hermione had found it hilarious. Draco remembered the amount of times he had watched her suppress giggles over his housemates' stupidity.
"Aren't you glad you're not with her anymore, Malfoy? I mean, not only is she a mudblood but she's a head case too." Blaise laughed, closely followed by the rest of the common room, who were listening. Malfoy's fists tightened, but he forced himself to laugh too.
'Hermione, I'm sorry…'
Look into the future- what do you see?
I really need to know now, is there a place for me?
Tell me, where do we go from here?
Take me as you find me, for what I am-
And when I make mistakes, please understand.
'You understood me better than anyone, when I screwed up you didn't care you helped me along, smiling all the way…'
And as long as I know you're near
There is nothing for me to fear
'With out you what am I…?'
Out of the darkness, a light shines
Burning through the coldest night
And we can find a way
(together we'll make it)
'Please...'
With every step we take
(moving closer together)
'Hermione…?'
If were gonna survive
The dream must stay alive
Baby will you hold me, when I'm afraid
See me through the danger, till the break of day
If there's love there's a chance for me
Just believe in yourself you'll see
'Do you remember when we snuck into the library, or the edge of the forest, just to be together, or when you took me to that muggle horror movie, how scared you got, and how great it felt to hold you safe in my arms? The fact the movie was muggle didn't even bother me, just being with you was enough…'
Out of the darkness, a light shines
Burning through the coldest night
And we can find a way
(together we'll make it)
'I ruined everything…'
With every step we take
(moving closer together)
'How can this be true...'
If we're gonna survive
The dream must stay alive
"Malfoy! You listening?" Blaise's childish voice snapped across Draco like a cane. He shook his head.
"Long Day, Zabini, and I have a potion's essay to finish. Unlike the rest of you low lives, I have more important things to concern myself with than the loss of a mere mudblood." With a final smirk, he turned to march up to his dormitory.
The Slytherins all shrugged and turned back to their activities. Draco was always like this- it wasn't unusual.
Entering his dorm room, Draco sealed the door magically shut behind him, and slid to the floor. Tears once again streaming down his pale cheeks. Burying his head in his hands, his white blonde hair flopped down tickling his skin.
And as long as I know you're near
There is nothing for me to fear
'Hermione, I'm sorry..."
Out of the darkness, a light shines
Burning through the coldest night
And we can find a way
(together we'll make it)
'We aren't together and you're never going to want me back…'
With every step we take
(moving closer together)
'I hate this, I hate not being with you, I hate this all I hate that I can't have you. I hate you more knowing you hate me… when…'
If we're gonna survive
The dream must stay alive
"I LOVE YOU, HERMIONE!"
