Drabble 6: Whisper
Whispers of Beauty
There were few times when Hermione felt truly beautiful. With her untamable hair and small curves, she felt less attractive than a Plain Jane and wouldn't hesitate to call herself an Ugly Betty. It didn't help that the older she got, the more boys taunted her about her baggy clothing and her preference of books over makeup.
When Harry had first asked her out she thought it was a joke. She still didn't quite believe it when he kissed her. But now, 3 months later, as they laid in a bed conjured by the Room of Requirements, sweaty and tired, she couldn't help but feel like everything was right.
As Harry whispered sweet nothings into her ear, Hermione felt truly beautiful. As he peppered kisses onto her face and ran a hand over her tiny curves she felt a bit more confident. When he called her gorgeous she giggled but did not refute his claim. Instead she cuddled into his chest and whispered right back to him.
