Night Sky
Hermione could feel something was up. She watched Draco become jumpy and very secretive. Something had changed within him, and it wasn't natural. She wasn't sure how she was going to approach this. Was she going to talk to him about it? No, he was always quiet around her and never seemed to get a word out of his mouth. But she didn't blame him, she was known for being quite intimidating. No one had expected her to be the best. But now she was so close to what she had worked for, she deserved to do this. It was her chance to prove herself and that mistake of a human being Draco was going to mess everything up.
Hermione was merely practicing in the forest, throwing axes and knives, dodging what rebounded and climbing the tallest tree, the normal routine. She was just perfecting her axe throw when the subject of her distaste walked past her line of vision. She turned around and saw him freeze and look at her. He smiled and waved then hurried away.
"Draco! Wait!" She screamed than ran after him. She knew her way around these woods better than most anybody. So she dived through a hedge of bushes and then jumped over a small creek and came out in front of Draco's path. Or so she thought she was going to. She saw that a few steps back he had turned off near some boulders. She followed his tracks and entered a little place in front of the canyon.
"Draco!" She called loudly, letting him know she was there and giving him fair enough warning. He turned and looked at her with surprise, and was that fear? Hermione shook it off, how could it have been fear? He had nothing to fear unless he answered her questions.
"Oh hey, Hermione! Yea, you uh... caught me! This is my secret passion making leather outfits." He said holding up quite a bit of leather. "Now that you know my secret, go and tell the whole town. Let everyone know! See ya later Hermione." And with that Draco started pushing her out of the canyon. She moved out of his way, making him fall on his face.
"You are up to something. Making leather outfits? That's not all this is. You're hiding something. I can feel it." Hermione said getting very up close and personal with Draco. Suddenly she was startled by a loud roar come from behind Draco. She looked over his shoulder and saw something dark and very large racing towards them. She knew what that was and shoved Draco out of the way. She grabbed her axe and was about to take aim, when Draco pinned her to the ground.
"Don't hurt him!" Draco shouted, and there it was again, that fear. Hermione now understood everything.
"Don't hurt him? He was coming towards us Draco! It's a dragon! They hate us! They constantly attack us! Our parents are fighting a war against these monsters! A war that is about to become our own! What side are you on, Draco!" Hermione screamed loudly. Draco looked away from her for a second, then when he looked back his face showed no sign of fear or hurt. It looked stubborn. A viking trait they all knew well.
"I chose my own side. I chose not to fight. I don't think this really is a war between us and the dragons. There is something we don't know. Plus, he didn't try to kill me! If dragons are as bad as you say they are, why did he let me live? Explain that to me Hermione!" Draco said loudly. Now it was Hermione's turn to look away. Draco sighed and looked at the dragon standing behind him.
"At least let me show you that he's not bad." Draco said. Hermione looked at him like he was crazy.
"Are you out of your..." She never got to finish that sentence. Draco dragged her onto the dragon, and then they were off. Hermione screamed as they flew through the air, turning and twisting through the air, Draco guiding the dragon, fearlessly and effortlessly. The dragon seemed to be trying to buck Hermione off which made her scream even louder.
"You're not helping! Can you please help me out?" Draco whispered loudly in the dragon's ear. Neither Draco nor Hermione could see it, but the dragon rolled its eyes then calmed the flying down a bit. But Hermione still hated this. She hated flying obviously. Draco looked back at her as they ascended over the clouds, and saw that she was starting to calm down.
Draco had always loved Hermione. She was beautiful and was perfect for him. Though she never noticed him. She was amazing at being the best and he was always down towards the bottom. She didn't even give him a second glance half the time. But now she saw him. Now she could finally see what he was really like while everyone else thought he was a mess up.
Draco watched her as she smiled and looked around at the beautiful scene around her. He knew that the amount of time he wanted to spend with her was never enough. She would never feel the same way towards him. But little did he know that as the two of them flew over the world on a dragon, she was thinking how much she wished he would finally return the feelings she felt for him.
She would always love him.
