Not That Different

"Hermione we need to talk." Draco Malfoy said to her as they got off of the Hogwarts express following their 7th year. "um… ok Draco hold on…. Harry, Ron I'll be back ok?" she said as she turned to her two best friends who silently nodded. Hermione smiled walking away silently with Draco, as she looked back at Harry and Ron they were happily showing the rest of the Weasleys the picture of the flat that they bought together and then showing the picture of Hermione's flat which was located right across from their's in Godric's Hollow.

Draco pulled her to a bench near the next platform. "Hermione," he started, "this year since the deafeat of Voldemort and his followers we've became a little more civil to each other. I just had to tell you this before you walk out of this station and possibly out of my life." He paused for a minute before continuing again, "the truth is… is … well… I love you."

She said we're much too different
We're from two separate worlds

"Draco, you're a pure blood, I'm a mudblood" Hermione pointed out using her hated nickname, "how could that work, you just inherited a fortune with the death of your father, I bought I one room flat in Godric's Hollow. I just don't know if it can work, we are just too different, I hope you understand, I'm so sorry."

And he admitted she was partly right

He nodded slowly and sadly to show he understood, too proud to let the tears fall. "I understand" he whispered softly.

But in his hearts defense he told her
What they have in common
Was strong enough to bond them for life
He said, "look behind your own soul,
And the person that you'll see,
Just might remind you of me.

"Hermione, just look at what we have in common" he said as he took her hand. Hermione looked up at him expenctantly and said, "like what Draco?"

I laugh, I love, I hope, I try,
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry.
But I know you do the same things too
So we're really not that different,
Me and you.

"Hermione, I laugh, love, hope, try, hurt, need, fear, and cry. We are a lot more alike than you think," he said, his heart pleading for her acceptance. Hermione sighed, "I'm so sorry" she said sadly as she stood up and walked back toward Harry and Ron. Leaving him there on the bench tears threatening to fall down his face.

Now shw could hardly argue,
With his pure an simple logic.
But logic never could convince a heart.
She had always dreamed of loving
Someone more exotic,
And he just didn't seem to fit the part.

A few years passed by and Hermione dated around. She dated Harry, Ron, Neville, Dean and finally Nick and Chris from her work at St. Mungo's. Her thoughts however always seemed to land back to the one person she left at the train station, Draco Malfoy.

So she searched for greener pastures,
But never could forget,
What he whipered when she left.

I laugh, I love, I hope, I try,
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry.
But I know you do the same things too
So we're really not that different,
Me and you.

Before she knew what she was doing, her legs were out on the street in the pouring rain down the streets of Godric's Hollow to the newly inherited Malfoy Manor, just outside the hollow. Her hair, jeans and old Gryffindor shirt became soaked as they clung to her skin. Finally she reached the gate

Was It time?
Was it truth?
Maybe both led her back to his door

She gripped the door knocker waited hesitantly before rapping it three times on the door. After what seemed to her like an eternity it opened with none other than Draco Malfoy standing in front of her with a shocked look on his face. He recognized this soaked girl immediately and realized there were tears mixed with the rain.

And as her tears fell at his feet,
She didn't say "I love you"
What she said meant even more…

I laugh, I love, I hope, I try,
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry.
But I know you do the same things too
So we're really not that different,
Me and you.

She slowly brought her eyes to his and said, "I laugh, love, hope, try. I hurt, need, fear, and cry. So Draco we really aren't that different, me and you." He paused as his tears began to also fall. He picked her up swung her around, pressing his lips to hers. He pulled back shook his wet hair out of his eyes and looked into hers, "Hermione, I love you, I've never stopped loving you, will you please be mine?"

"Draco, I love you too," she said lovingly as she smiled, "and nothing would make me happier than to be yours." He smiled and took her into his arms kissing her with everything he had. Suddenly he pulled her away and into the pouring rain, there they stayed, not caring about anything else. The pair laughed and danced, getting wetter by the minute. Finally he pulled her into a kiss and led her inside where he was more than ready to start a new life, full of love with his angel Hermione Granger.
