Blast From the Past

"Hermione?" said Draco, "Can I ask you something?" he asked just as Hermione's about to enter the door.

"Hmm..? what is it?" She looked at him anxiously.

"Can you be my girlfriend?" asked Draco, hope shining in his eyes.


"Excuse me?" Hermione said, looking at Draco shocked at what he'd just said.

"Hermione, can you be my girlfriend? I know this caught you offhand, but I want you to know how much you mean to me. I've let you go before, and I can't bear not to let you know. Right before the war, we became friends, do you still remember? I fell for you. The night Voldemort attacked, I was about to admit my true feelings, but I lost you. I was torn Hermione. Every night, I'd lay awake thinking of you. Where are you. How are you doing. I am incomplete without you Hermione. Please accept me. I would never do anything to hurt you, believe me. I am a man of my word." Draco finished, still gazing longingly at Hermione whose shock was evident from her face.

Hermione just stood there, not knowing if she should believe what he'd just said. She gazed at the man in front of her.

" Can I imagine my life with Draco?Should I trust him? I am tired of being hurt…"

Hermione thought to herself.

"Draco, we are good friends. I don't think I could bear to lose you if ever this relationship goes wrong. You have to understand, you're the only thing I have left…" Hermione said, looking down. She couldn't bear seeing Draco getting hurt.

"but Mya, I…." Draco started.

"Draco don't!" Hermione shouted, just as tears started to fall from her eyes.

She ran inside her apartment, leaving Draco standing out there. Rain started to fall down hard. She ran to her room crying.

"Why does he have to fall for me? Why am I too scared of taking risks? Probably because when I last did, I lost Harry and Ron." She sadly muttered to herself.

"No, I'm not gonna lose Draco. I just can't" she said, as she silently cried herself to sleep.


Draco Malfoy had been rejected by the girl he truly loves.

"Why Hermione? WHY!" Draco shouted just as rain started to fall from the sky.

He stood there, not really caring that he was getting wet. He didn't care about anything right now. He wanted Hermione, and she turned him down. He felt his eyes burn up with tears. She had made him cry again, not that he care, but its just sad. He started to walk home, tears mixing with the rainfall.


Hermione woke up early the next morning. Her eyes were all red and puffy from crying.

She's still miserable after what had happened last night.

"I love him…" she muttered as she started taking her shower.

Draco , on the other hand, wasn't able to get any sleep. Sleep was the last thing he wanted to do, because the moment he close his eyes, images of Hermione would come and visit him. He was hurt. But now, he's smiling.

"I'm not giving you up, Mya." He said smiling to himself as he stood up and took his shower, a good plan forming in his mind.


As Hermione entered her office, everything was so dark. She hadn't suspected anything though, she just thought that its just a temporary power failure, but she knew she was wrong when she heard music playing behind her. She lighted a candle, and turned around, only to find Draco, wearing a tux, with his good friend, Blaise, who was playing the violin. Draco offered the bouquet of lavender lilies he was holding. Lilies are Hermione's favorite.

"Thank you." She had managed to say when Draco handed her the flowers.

"Please smile for me Mya." said Draco, seeing Hermione emotionless.

"Why are you doing this?" she asked, not wanting to look at him, for she knew that if she did, she would be his forever.

"Because I love you." He replied. Draco whispered something to Blaise, and Blaise played another song.

As the song played, draco started to sing.

"Lift your head, baby don't be scared,

of the things that could go wrong along the way.

You'll get by, with a smile,

You can't win on everything but you can try….

And baby you don't have to worry,

'cause there's no need to hurry,

no one ever said there's an easy way,

When their closing all the doors,

And they don't want you anymore,

This sounds funny but I'll say it anyway…

Girl I'll stay,

Through the bad times,

Even if I've to fetch you everyday..

I'll get by with a smile,

You can never be too happy in this life…"

Draco is now looking straight into Hermione's eyes, but she refused to look at him.

"Draco, you may leave now." She said quietly.

"I'm not leaving until you agree to be mine." He replied, with a smirk.

"No." she stood up.

"No?" he asked, following her, as she turned on the lights.

"No. Don't you get it Malfoy?" she said, with an emphasis on Malfoy.

"No, I don't get it…"

"I don't love you." She simply said, refusing to face him because she might cry.

"……" Draco couldn't speak. He was at loss at words.

"Sorry, I didn't get that."

"Draco, I said, I don't love you."

"Why are you doing this to me?" He shouted.

"I'm just being honest." She replied.

"No you're not. I don't believe you! Look at me Mya. LOOK AT ME!" He was still screaming.

"Please leave now Draco."

"Give me a reason why Hermione. Am I not good enough? Don't give that 'I'm a mud blood, you're a pureblood' stuff. Its not gonna work. My father's dead! And even if he's not, I am willing to fight for you..for us….I would die for you if you asked me to!"He trailed off, tears starting to fall from his eyes.

"I don't want to lose you Draco."

"I don't get you woman! I'd just opened up, made myself beg, cried for you..isn't that enough?" he asked, forcing her to face him.

"Please don't do this Draco." Hermione pleaded.

She was crying.

"Stop crying Mya… I'm sorry. Fine, I'll accept your decision. Its gonna be hard, and its gonna hurt, but I will. You know why Mya? Because I love you. I'll be around if you need me. Come on Blaise." He said and exited the room.
