HIS FAVOURITE COLOUR

By: TycheSong

Draco Malfoy had a secret. His favourite colour wasn't green. It wasn't black, or silver, or any of the other dignified acceptable colours one would expect of a Slytherin Prince. His favourite color was a cinnamon brown. It had been for quite some time now, and it took him a long while to figure out why. Then one day he realized.

His favourite color was the exact shade of Hermione Granger's hair. Not just at any moment, of course. It was when she sat at her favourite spot in the library, so that her hair was lit by one of the long windows behind her. Or when she was walking out doors, usually down to the big, stupid oaf's hut. The sun, when it bothered to come out, would hit her hair a certain way, and it would turn into a glorious, tumbled mass of cinnamon brown.

He stopped thinking about cinnamon brown once he realized. Certain things were a certain way, after all. It wouldn't do to get caught up in something so impossible on so many fronts. Still...

Still.

It was so warm. Not flashy, by any means, and most people would consider it down-right boring. It was because they hadn't seen it in the sunlight where it belonged. There, it became something else. Warm. Inviting. A lovely riot of beyond-average that Draco couldn't seem to make himself scoff at.

And when it was angry, it—

Draco shook himself, a little savagely.

It's an effing colour.

His abrupt movement caused her to look up, a lock of that dangerous cinnamon brown springing free from her headband and falling into her eyes. Her eyes met his, just for a moment, and Draco knew.

Things were just the way they were, and that would not change. But his favourite colour would always be cinnamon brown—the exact shade of Hermione Granger's hair.
