Behind Blue Eyes
Draco and Hermione took their Trunks up to their shared dorms, and went for a walk. They walked down tot he lake, and Draco saw Hermione's eyes flicker over a tree of freshly bloomed dragon blossoms. They lit up with a sense of passion he had never seen before. He stopped and picked one for her. She blushed a deep crimson red, and thanked him. They walked a ways before they came to a old wooden gazebo on the lake. They walked down the small path and sat on a stone bench. Draco sat his hand down on the bench, and felt Hermione's hand brush against his. He looked over to see her blushing again. Her hair was framing her face perfectly, and he noticed her eyes were chocolate brown with a hint of blue. He smiled at her. He took her hand in his and held it for sometime. Then, they began to walk back to the school, hand in hand. He felt Hermione shiver, so he took of his cloak and put it on her. She inhaled his formal, woodsy cologne, and smiled. A small hint of Jasmin swam through her senses, mingling with the bergamot and sage. She loved this sent and knew it all to well.
flash back
Four year old Hermione Jasmin Granger skipped lightly through the halls of the large stone castle. She skipped until she came to a very dark corridor. At the very end was a small beam of light, casting shadows on the floor of something moving. She clenched onto the small sandy coloured teddy in her hand and walked slowly through the corridor. She pushed the door open a bit more and saw a small blonde haired boy playing with his bear on his bedroom floor. His room smelt like Lagerfeld cologne. Her dad had gotten a bottle from his mistress a few weeks ago. But her mother had smashed the bottle on the bathroom floor when she found out who it was from. The boy looked up at the door and saw a pretty little girl. He smiled and waved her inside. He was bout six years old, judging by his eyes and face. He had messy blonde hair and pale silver eyes. He was tiny, very skinny, but taller then all the boys in her class at Amber-Grove Elementary School. She took a seat beside him on the floor, and pointed to his bear. He nodded and pointed to hers. She giggled and blushed, showing a set of bright pearly white teeth. "I'm Hermione Granger. My family just moved in next door. What's your name?" She said stretching out her tiny little hand.
"I'm Draco Julius Malfoy, I'm four years old, and this is Mercurian, he's my best friend." He pointed to his Ebony coloured bear. He was very clean and looked almost new. It didn't look like Hermione's bear did. Hers was sandy brown, with a few darned and patched placed, and very messy fur.
"This is Aphrodite, she's the only friend I have." she said sadly. He sadly nodded and offered her a seat beside him.
"We can be friends if you would like." he said, stretching out his milky white hand towards her. She smiled again, and took his hand in hers. They shook on it. Friends forever?" he said, his face lighting up with an excited expression.
"Yes. Friends Forever." she said giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.
end
Hermione and Draco had stayed friends till they were six. Draco fell in love with Hermione, and that's when his dad became fanatical about Muggles. Draco's mother told the Granger's, and they left as soon as they could. Leaving behind a heartbroken Draco, and taking along a hurt and confused Hermione. The day they left, Draco walked into his bedroom and sat in the same spot he had when he met her. He found Aphrodite sitting in the same spot Hermione had sat that day. He treasured that bear, and kept it by his side at every moment, keeping the promise that no matter what happened, he would treasure it every day of his life.
