Small Gestures
Her lips were warm against his own, and Draco held his breath as Hermione took the package from his clammy hands. There was the sound of paper shredding.
"A book?" She breathed, smiling.
"A rare edition of Hogwarts, A History."
She was beaming at him then; radiant and glowing as she tucked the tome close to her chest.
"Happy birthday, Granger," He managed, his throat thick. Draco was shit with meaningful gestures…but he had tried.
"Thank you," She replied, kissing his lips.
"So you…like it, then?"
There was a beat of silence.
"I love it; it came from you, Draco."
a/N: Hello, everyone! Well, this was my second time participating in the 100 word drabble challenge for the DMHG Challenge on LiveJournal. I ended up writing this during one of my classes at university (oops), and I had a bit of fun with it! The prospect of challenging yourself to write a limit of exactly 100 words to convey a story makes for a great writing exercise! Hope you're all doing well; please review to let me know what you think!
