Gold and Silver

Draco Malfoy found himself glaring down into the bottom of an empty glass far too often these days; the alcohol numbed his senses almost daily. It helped him forget the cold marriage he'd just stumbled out of; it aided him in providing his life with the amount of carelessness he needed.

And then there was Granger. Granger, with her bushy hair and oversized clothes. Granger, with her blasted morality and nobility. She was gold and he was silver; she was the sun and he was the moon.

Hermione Granger was his new beginning, and she didn't even know it yet.


a/N: I know I'm a bit late uploading it, but here we are-my entry for November's DMHG challenge on LiveJournal! This month, the challenge was to create a 100 word drabble focused on the prompt of "new beginnings". This is what I came up with. So please, review/follow/etc. to let me know what you think! Hope everyone's doing well!
