LONELY RAIN
When it started to rain I had a gloomy feeling inside. A feeling deep down that I was not going to be happy. So I got out of bed and crossed the room to my clock and squinted at it.
"Midnight?" I murmured sleepily. I had to go to the bathroom, so I walked over to the door and heard the door on the other side close. I knocked, no answer, so I assumed Malfoy had left. After I was done I was wide awake so I decided to go down to the common room. Lo and behold! The great Draco Malfoy!
"Ah, Granger, why don't you join me?" He patted the seat next to him. I blinked, shrugged, and sat down. I turned toward him and stared questioningly at him. "What brings you here, Granger?" He enquired.
"I couldn't sleep." I replied automatically.
"Ah and why is that?" he said, almost like he already knew the answer.
"The rain, it disturbs me..." I said, wondering why I was revealing this to him when my best friends didn't even know.
"I figured as much, I have noticed every time it rains you go to the bathroom then come down here where you cannot here it." he smiled faintly and seemed to see right into my very core.
"So you have been spying and stalking me?" I asked, raising my eyebrow. To my surprise he chuckled as he replied,
"No, Hermione...I have just noticed. See, the rain disturbs me as well." I stared incredulously, even though I knew it was rude.
"Why?" I asked without thinking. I was curious, so sue me!
"Stop staring, it's rude. And if you must know, as a Malfoy I was not allowed to be afraid. Storms were no exception. So when I tried to crawl into bed with my parents, they kicked me out, literally." He said bitterly. "So it just reminds me of my shitty childhood." He added. I frowned.
"It reminds me of the flood that killed my natural parents. They were wizards. I have never told anyone, but the professors know." I said this while thinking, Why the Hell am I telling him this? A little voice whispered, Because you like him, you want him to respect you, you want him to kiss you. It took me a while to realize that Malfoy was leaning toward me, he whispered.
"I know...I know you are really Hermione Potter, you are Harry's cousin." I gaped at him; of course I knew that too. "But I bet you did not know that you are betrothed to me...we thought you were dead, now I know...I know!" He closed the space between us and gave me a light kiss, and then, I woke up. I woke up to the rain in a panic, and I realized it was all a dream. I was in my bed, and I was lonely.
