Marcus Stone Granger
(1995-2001)
Our Little Angel from Heaven
"I miss you…little brother."
Her tears started to flow just like a waterfall freely, wildly down her soft cheeks and he watched in silence. Draco couldn't take this all in, the fact that she has a little brother and that they were here at the same place, at the same time, visiting someone. He was tempted to go out to her take her hand in his and comfort her, but he didn't want to interrupt her.
She probably doesn't get any time to spend here with him the way her life is going. Her life, he wondered, couldn't be all that bad after all she has everything she could ever want, or not?
Was she really happy? And if not could I help her…?
His eyebrows were furrowed together in concentration, the last time he tried to help someone it didn't go so well. He soon picked up his feet to take his place at the grave of one he couldn't forget, the one he loved most in the entire world, and couldn't let anyone know. It was his entire fault she was here after all, buried under his grasp, eight feet deep in the ground, pushing daisies. He knelt down and placed the bouquet of flowers gently on the green grass, slowly whisking his hand through the layers.
He whispered, "I'm sorry." His head hanging never looking at the headstone. And got up and walked away, tears dangerously close from release. He was nearly to his place of refuge, but didn't make it in time to make an escape.
"Draco…" he heard her whisper.
He didn't turn around; he couldn't do this, not now, not when his emotions were so high.
"Draco, please…" she pleaded.
He took a deep breathe and faced Hermione. Her hair was matted up just like it used to be, but not as bad. Her eyes were red and swollen from the crying which left salty tracks down her face. She sniffled, hung her head, and began to cry again.
His heart ached for her in more than one way and he moved over and took her in his arms. She let her head fall onto his chest, his arms wrapped around her shoulders, and his hand running through her hair. He rested his chin on the top of her head and they stayed that way until she stopped crying.
She sniffled and pulled back slightly just enough so they could see each other's faces. "Thank y-you." she mouthed.
He simply smiled, "Let's get back to Hogwarts now, shall we…Hermione?"
She simply nodded her head and looking behind her he noticed Harry's broom and smirked, "You went and stole a broom. I never thought I would see the day where Hermione Jane Granger would steal. By George it is a new day."
She giggled and shrugged, "I needed to get here somehow."
He put his arm around her waist and guided her as he picked up his and Harry's brooms. He looked around to make sure no one was around and whispered a spell and the brooms disappeared.
"Huh?" she questioned.
"I was just thinking, Hermione, that you and I should go and have a fun day out on the town."
She raised an eyebrow, "Seriously?"
He cupped her face with his hands and gently whipped away the tear tracks off her face with his thumbs, bending down slightly to rest his forehead on her, "Yes I am."
She smiled and nodded, but was inwardly suspicious of him.
What was he doing here at a grave and why did he look like he was about to cry?
They walked down to a muggle city, grabbed a cab, and went for some lunch. Both of them had a secret to hide, one that could ruin them for all time, and neither one willing to tell.
BACK AT HOGWARTS THE NEXT DAY
"Harry I'm sorry I really am!" Hermione yelled at him.
Harry's back was to her, his arms crossed around his chest, and his head held high,
She screamed exasperated and took off down the hall the other direction.
One time…ONCE!!! And he gets pissed off. Damn him for all I care.
"GAH!"
Harry was mad at her for taking his broom the day before and not asking him first. He would get over it, but he was like Ron to damn stubborn to get anything passed his thick head.
She wasn't paying any attention and before she knew it she was on her butt saying, "Ow."
"You alright, granger?" a hand came in front of her and she looked up into those piercing sliver blue eyes.
She took his hand and let him take her complete weight until she was firmly on her own two feet.
Why is he calling me Granger?
"I'm fine, sorry." She was now on her guard.
His hands were tight around her wrists and he pushed her against the wall, roughly.
"What are you doing?!"
This had to be one of the two Draco's, but which one is the real one?!
His face was ever so close to her own and she couldn't take it. She lifted her knee sharply and was perfectly on target. He crumpled to the floor in pain.
"Stay away from me…you…you…you creep!" and she ran as fast as she could to her refuge, 'The blubber room'. "I'm beautiful!" she nearly screamed at the top of her lungs.
She waited anxiously until she was safe in her musical haven, resting herself on the comfy place at her piano. She got up and grabbed her guitar and stuck a chord.
"Of all the things I believe in
I just want to get it over with
tears from behind my eyes
but I do not cry
Counting the days that past me by
I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
Looks like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend and I say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I love
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems like I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes till you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light but it's not right
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Ohhh yeah
It hurts to want everything & nothing at the same time
I want whats yours and I want whats mine
I want you but I'm not giving in this time
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
We the stars fall and I lie awake
Your my shooting star"
Her voice stopped, but her fingers didn't and she kept playing and playing until her fingers began to bleed.
