Writing for Keeps

draconian-saint:

And every day that you want to change, that you want to change
I’ll help you see it through ‘cause I just really want to be with you

Hermione stared at him for a few moments while her brain tried to register his words. She was honestly shocked he was speaking to her, they had been on a mission together and all the twitchy little ferret had said to her were one word responses.

Most of the time Hermione paid no mind to him, but she had been preoccupied looking at a map and accidentally bumped into him; she huffed in annoyance as she stared up at him in confusion. Before she could inquire about why they had suddenly stopped he spoke, “Beautiful,” he paused for a moment.

Malfoy turned his head and looked down his pointed nose at her, “Isn’t it Granger?”

Hermione’s attention was elsewhere though, she watched as a smile formed onto Malfoy’s lips and his eyes danced lightly. She felt her cheeks redden, to say she was awe-struck was an understatement; the light was hitting his face in the most stunning ways and it had honestly knocked the wind out of her.

She would not admit to having her breath taken away, gracefully, by Draco Malfoy.

He turned his attention back to the view and Hermione finally looked up. “Yeah, it is,” she said as a small smile played on her lips.
