It’s funny how things happen. My mind had strayed once again without me knowing it, and in a second I was configuring the curves of her body and the spring in her brown, ludicrous curls instead of studying the herbs I needed to collect for my latest product. Instead of paper beneath my fingertips, I felt the smooth silk of her skin. Of course, it was stupid to imagine her, because it only brought up memories that stung. I knew, without a doubt, that soon my mind’s eye would turn to her broken smile as she left my side to defend hogwarts. To her disappearance during the battle. Everyone thought her dead, but she was alive in my thoughts. Still, it hurt.
I shook my head, trying to focus again on my work, only to catch something out of the corner of my eye. There she was, dolled up in clothes Hermione would have cringed at the very thought of wearing, though I wouldn’t have minded a bit if not for the setting. Everything was wrong about her, from the clothes to her expression. She looked lost, and I was frozen in shock as she turned to look at me.
Hazel and a bit confused, those eyes pierced through me but did not recognize me. Still, those were her eyes. The doubts that swiveled about in my head about her being a figment of my imagination dissipated. She was too real. I was sure my imagination was too ridiculously bad to actually make her up like this. And so, I did the only natural thing- I stayed stock still like I’d been struck by that stupid petrificus spell. That was, until she got up and started to leave.
Like that, I was up and running like a mad man towards her. My Hermione was alive. Granted, she looked like she didn’t know who the hell I was but she was alive, and on the move. This time, I wasn’t going to let her get away. Once I caught her, I wasn’t ever letting her go.
AU meme in which Harry and Ron are killed in the Battle of Little Whinging and Hermione is forced to destroy the Horcruxes alone. However, before she can complete the mission she is captured by Snatchers and taken to Malfoy Manor. There, she is about to be killed by Bellatrix when Draco, disgusted by his family’s bloodlust, kills them all and escapes with Hermione. Together they resume the hunt for Horcruxes, Draco hoping Hermione will forgive him for everything he has done.
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Tom Felton in The Disappeared (UK, 2008)
IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY. HAPPY BIRFDAY.
There’s no explanation or forewarning
Underneath all the crimson lining.
Romance just is….
“Draco, let the Dark Lord know we’ve got Potter!” Lucius hissed, drawing Draco’s attention to the group in front of them, particularly, the female member of it.
Hermione’s eyes shifted from Lucius to Draco and he felt his stomach clench, the brown orbs begging for something, anything to be done to save them. To save her.
In that moment, he had made his decision. He didn’t care about Potter dying, didn’t care about Weasley being hexed and disappearing from the face of the Earth. All he cared about was her being safe. Her trusting him, being proud of him.
He took a step into their direction and turned around to face his family, his jaw clenched.
”No.”
Lucius’ eyes widened and he was quiet for a few moments, desperately looking between his son and Narcissa. She seemed quiet and calm, as if she had expected this.
“No? What do you mean, get back here! What are you doing?”
“No, father. I won’t let you-” I won’t let you hurt her, “- I won’t let you stop them.”
“Draco, get back-“
“NO! I’m done listening to you! If you want me alive, let them live.” Let her live. Only her.a belated birthday present for danielle!
Dramione song recs: Lana Del Rey - Dark Paradise
Loving you forever can’t be wrong
Even though you’re not here, won’t move on
Your soul is hunting me and telling me
That everything is fine
But I wish I was dead
Every time I close my eyes
It’s like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I’m scared you won’t be waiting on the other side
To Danielle, happy 18th birthday, love! I hope you have a beautiful amazing day!
