Written for the Pairing the Character Drabble Challenge

Pairing: Draco/Hermione

On a normal day, his eyes were like a storm cloud filled and ready to burst, with small forks of lightening charging within it waiting to strike the earth. When he was angry, truly angry and not being the brat prince that he could be sometimes, nothing in his face would change except his eyes. They literally froze over, like a lake in the dead of winter; solidly cold, harsh, and unforgiving. Amusement and contentment made his eyes shine like polished Goblin wrought silver, light seeming to dance within them as his pale lips would curve upward to create his trademark smirk or a genuine smile.

His eyes had been silver that night in the Hospital Wing. He had taken a Bludger to the head during the Quidditch match between Slytherin and Gryffindor and the effects of the Sleeping Draught had finally worn off. She had been the first person he saw. And his eyes had been silver. Glazed over and slightly unfocused, but silver nonetheless.

Years later, wrapped in his arms, Hermione pressed a light kiss to his chin and as he peered down at her, her heart skipped a beat.

"I love it when you look at me like that," she murmured softly, snuggling closer to him.
