Tied Together With a Smile-Taylor Swift

Draco looked across the Great Hall at Hermione. She was slumped over her food, not eating anything. Next to her, Ron was pointedly ignoring her, talking animatedly with Lavender Brown. Harry sat on her other side. He wasn't saying anything, simply sitting in silence eating his food.

Draco watched as Hermione leapt up from her spot, walking quickly out of the Great Hall. Draco stood, ignoring Pansy's protests and following after her. He quickly spotted her in an alcove under the stairs. She was crying.

"Hermione?" Draco whispered, approaching her slowly. "Is everything okay?" He had always thought her beautiful, what could the Weasel have don now.

"Ron just…he's ignoring me. For Pansy. And he called me ugly." She sobbed into Draco's shoulder, not even noticing it was him.

"Hermione. I think you're beautiful." Draco whispered in her ear, lifting her chin to look up at him. "Don't be with Ron. Just because he wanted you, doesn't mean her deserves you." Draco tenderly kissed Hermione's lips, hoping that the one kiss would be enough to convey six years of emotion.
