Every Rose Has Thorns
Prologue
She was standing outside the school, shivering, as the silvery-white snow fell from the sky. It was nine o' clock, an hour past curfew. Her curly brown hair blew across her face and covered her beautiful brown eyes. There was a faint sound from far away,
"Hermione!" he shouted. She turned her head to the side and saw a tall blonde man far in the distance. Hermione slid her hands into her coat pockets and rushed over to him. She gazed into his silvery-blue eyes and waited for him to speak.
"Follow me." He began walking toward the forbidden forest and motioned for her to follow. Hermione hurried through the blizzard to catch up with him. He turned many times and passed many trees and bushes and then finally came to a hault. Hermione gasped.
"Isn't it wonderful?" He questioned. They were both standing in front of a beautiful garden and fountain. The trees were blocking most of the snow so the fountain was still running. On the other hand, the flowers were iced over, but still had many bright colors showing through.
"Draco, it is so pretty…how did you ever find out about this place?" She asked in amazement.
"It was a long while back, in second year. I don't exactly remember how…something to do with detention." Hermione giggled. Draco stepped forward toward the gazebo in the middle of the garden. He then took a seat on one of the icy cold benches inside. Hermione followed and she laid on the grass. She looked up and saw the many twinkling stars above her.
"Draco, have you ever wondered how many stars are up there?" She questioned in a whisper. Draco stood up and slowly over to her. He sat on to the freezing ground and laid back,
"No, love, I haven't" He responded.
"When I was little, and my father was still around, I'd used to sit outside for hours trying to count them all. I would keep restarting because I lost track." Hermione giggled and then sighed. Then she shut her eyes to rest. Draco glanced over at Hermione, noticing that she was resting, he rose up slightly and softly placed a kiss on her cheek. Then he returned to his previous spot, and gently shut his eyes.
