Draco's eyes are grey, like the lake on the Hogwarts grounds in winter. Sometimes they are frozen, and this frightens her, even though she knows she is safe. She is never worried about herself.

Sometimes, though, his eyes are blue, just like the lake after winter has passed. These are rare occasions, and she treasures them like nothing else. Blue brings him to life, in both look and manner, or perhaps it is these that draw out the blue. It is too complicated for even her sharp eyes to discover and confirm, one way or another.

But Hermione does know that no matter what she says, or how happy he appears to become, his eyes will always be grey.
