Steal a Dragons Heart
Disclaimer: I am only 14 and still in school so I only own the plot. I do not own any of the lovely characters J.K. Rowling created. (Although I really wish I did.)
Small Summary: Even though Hermione puts on the perfect persona at school her life is a living hell. Her stepfather abuses her and her mother is no help at all, drinking away her problems. When one summer Hermione is raped all the faith she has left in the world disappears and she returns to school a changed person. The most unexpected person helps to pull her out of this, Draco Malfoy.
The next morning Hermione's body clock woke her up at 7.00am sharp. She blinked rapidly until she felt as if she might actually be able to keep the open and leisurely sat up and looked around. She hadn't really looked at her room properly last night as she had been so tired. She smiled as she looked around; her room was perfect for her! She had a big desk in one corner with a comfy looking chair and lamp; she also had a big set of wooden shelves running along the wall beside it. Her wardrobe was to the right of her bed and looked like it might be a walk in closet. On the wall opposite her bed she had two armchairs and a number of soft deep red beanbags around a fireplace. She also noticed a set of glass french doors leading out to a large balcony. She squealed with delight when she saw she also had a piano.
She pulled back the covers and placed her feet carefully on the soft rich red carpet. It felt wonderful! She strode over to her wardrobe and found that it was indeed the biggest wardrobe she had ever seen. She smiled and selected a long sleeved black v-neck top and some dark blue jeans, with a comfy pair of socks and her leather black shoes. Then she grabbed her toilet bag and walked into the bathroom, pausing briefly to take in her surroundings. She could definitely get used to this!
She walked over to the shower and turned it on, it was a lovely big shower with glass walls and a light blue tiled floor. She set her towel on the heating rack beside the door and her hair stuff and soap on the shelf in the shower. She folded her clothes neatly on the bench and put the rest of her stuff next to it. She undressed quickly and when she stepped into the shower it was like heaven. She stood there for a few minutes just letting the water run down her body, then she quickly washed herself. As she was rubbing the hair products into her hair she couldn't help but think of Draco 'oh now I'm thinking of him in first name basis…this is scary. I wonder what made him change and change back so quickly?' She pondered this and she turned the shower off and stepped out wrapping her towel around her. ' I suppose I'll see him in a minute…' she thought 'I hope he's in a good mood…' and she proceeded to get dressed whilst singing quietly to herself 'Lonely girl' by Pink.
I can remember the very first time I cried
How I wiped my eyes and buried the pain inside
All of my memories - good and bad - that's past
Didn't even take the time to realize…Draco woke up slowly to a voice singing softly, he kept his eyes closed and just listened.
Do you even know who you are?
I guess I'm trying to find
A borrowed dream or a superstar?
I want to be a star
Is life good to you or is it bad?
I can't tell anymore
Do you even know what you have?
Lying awake watching the sunlight
How the birds will sing as I count the rings around my eyes
Constantly pushing the world I know aside
I don't even feel the pain; I don't even want to try…
Then he suddenly clicked; the beautiful voice must belong to Hermione! He quickly stepped out of bed and rushed over to where he heard it coming from, the bathroom, and listened intently. He had never wanted so much to just go in and watch her, he would if it hadn't been the bathroom that she was in. He heard the singing fade and decided she must have gone into her room. He stepped back from the door and looked around, he hadn't really looked at his room last night.
He had a fireplace with a few rich green velvet armchairs around it and a deep red-brown coloured coffee table position around it. He had a desk made of the same wood with a small lamp and a soft green chair to match. He also had some glass doors leading out to an elegant looking balcony. He had a small beside table and a wooden wardrobe. He also had a small bookshelf with a stereo on it. Satisfied he noticed that he was still in his black silk boxers and walked to his wardrobe to get a green tee shirt and some black dress pants to wear under his robes and then he himself walked into the bathroom.
He noticed she hadn't left any evidence that she had been in there so he went and turned the shower on and placed his clothes neatly on the bench beside the shower. He grabbed his shampoo and quickly stepped into the shower. He was finished washing in all of 5 minutes and stepped out and dried himself off. He slipped on some boxers and his pants but turned when he heard a noise. There stood Hermione looking absolutely horrified at herself.
"Oh I'm so sorry!" She exclaimed and hurriedly put her hands over her eyes. " I left my hair brush in here!" He looked over at the bench and saw that her hairbrush was indeed in the sink, where he had failed to notice it before. He went and grabbed it and walked over to Hermione to give it to her.
"Here," He said, " It's no problem." She peeked out of her hands and took them away eyes wide when she saw him in front of her.
"Thanks." She said quietly and reached down to grab the brush, but as she did her hand brushed his and they both gasped and looked into each other's eyes. His gray ones boring into her brown ones, waiting to see what would happen. Then Hermione grabbed the brush and ran top-speed out of the room.
"Damn," Whispered Draco, before turning and walking slowly into his own room. Why does this keep happening to me he thought irritably.
A/N: A bit longer this time. I got a very helpful review and I am trying to improve my writing- be more descriptive and such. So review and tell me if it worked!
