Draco woke up, and became immediately aware of the sleeping form his arms were wrapped around. He smiled, still in a daze from last night, as he stared at her sleeping figure. He felt a white warm light fill him; filling his soul to the very last drop. Her eyes were closed, and her deep brown hair was spread across the satin pillow. Draco felt his eyes soften; she was even beautiful when she was asleep.. He could hear her soft, shallow, rhythmic breaths as she slept on, unknowing he was watching her. Her naked body was warm in his arms, his hands burning at the contact of her bare skin. Last night was a night he could never forget even if he tried. It was passionate, and he had never felt anything like it. He rose up his hand, and touched her soft cheek. He trailed it up, and tucked a stray curl away. He smiled, being so close to her yet again; he still remembered the feeling of the intense heat and longing. The way his heart was pounding so hard he thought as if it was going to jump out of his chest. He stared at her, as he stroked her hair, then trailed back down to her cheek, feeling the familiar contact of her smooth skin. She shifted softly and slightly, without opening her eyes. Draco felt his heart almost stop.
Here he was, next to the girl he loved, without a single piece of clothing on. He would've been repulsed and utterly disgusted before, sure. But now.. Things had definitely changed. He had changed. She had changed him. He didn't know if she had done it without knowing, or if she had done it on purpose. But he had let her; somehow he knew that being with her, feeling for her would change everything. Maybe he had wanted to change, and maybe he was attracted to her because he knew she could be the only one who could. The heartless, cold and cruel Draco Malfoy.. He was gone. All because of her. Draco smiled faintly, as he could feel her moving in his arms, slightly.
And somehow, he liked the change. He liked knowing she had changed him into a better person. He liked having her here next to him, her in his arms, her soft breaths against his neck. He liked being with her, he liked the feeling of those butterflies in his stomach every time she smiled at him or came near. He liked feeling his heart skip a beat when she touched him, feeling his nerves in a frenzy from his toes to the tips of his hair. He liked it. Everything.
Actually, he didn't 'like' it. He loved it.
Loved it so much that he never wanted to let go of her, or be away from her. He loved it so much he knew he couldn't bear departing from her at the end of this year. This was their last year; Draco had just realized how much time he had wasted. All these years, being at Hogwarts.. Now, their last year here, was the time he had finally found her? The thought irritated him, but all these other thoughts pushed them away. He sighed, thinking deeply about what he needed to do. He loved Hermione, he did, with all his heart. And he got the feeling that his love for her would never go away even if he tried his hardest to make it go away, or forget. It was much too strong. Finally, Draco made up his mind, and he swallowed hard as her eyes fluttered open.
Hermione stared at him questionably at first, then remembered last night. She blushed and smiled at him, as he stroked her cheek, smiling also.
"Good morning," he whispered to her. His eyes were dark, and she knew he had been thinking about something deeply.
" Good morning," she whispered back. He stayed silent, staring into her eyes, as if searching them, or trying to make up his mind. She stared back into his silver eyes, intently. She wondered what he was thinking; it was awfully hard for her to see. They were cloudy and serious. Draco could feel his chest tighten, and he swallowed hard, again.
" Is there something wrong?" She asked him, her eyes flickering with worry. Draco shook his head, smiling faintly.
" No," he said. Hermione leaned in and gave him a soft kiss on the lips, as he pulled her closer. His heart was pounding more furiously than ever.
" This is our last year," he whispered to her, his lips only a centimeter from hers. Draco saw sadness cloud her eyes, and she looked down, avoiding his eyes. She buried her head into his chest, and sighed deeply. She had been avoiding this topic. She didn't want to leave Hogwarts, or the magical world. Especially when she felt like, for the first time, she actually belonged. And wanted.
" I don't want to leave," she said, looking back into his eyes. " I don't want to leave you," she said, her voice a bit shaky. He looked at her, his eyes dark and solemn, as he rested his hand on her cheek. She closed her eyes, and she could feel her throat closing up, and it was hard to breathe or swallow. She was almost sure she would never see Draco again if she left. Her parents wouldn't want her to be coming back here permanently, if she had nothing to go back to.
" You won't have to," he said, and she opened her eyes. She stared into his eyes, wondering what he meant. Draco took his hand off her cheek, and captured one of her own. He held it to his bare chest, on the spot of the location of his heart. His silver eyes pierced through her, managing to melt everything inside her.
" I want you to stay here, with me," he whispered to her.
" I don't think I can," she whispered back, her eyes tearing up. Draco swallowed hard.
" Why?"
" I have no reason to stay here," she choked out. Draco felt his heart twinge with pain.
" You have me," he whispered to her.
" I.." she looked down. " I have nowhere I can stay. My parents want me to go back; I have no reason to stay if I'm finished with Hogwarts."
Draco looked into her eyes, seeing the pain of saying those words to him. Her brown eyes were glossy with incoming tears, and Draco knew what he had to do.
" I could give you a reason to stay," he whispered. Hermione looked up. Draco felt his heart pounding, his blood rushing in his ears.
" Hermione," he whispered, clutching her hand tightly, his fingers entwined with hers.
He looked deep in her eyes, and his pulse was getting quicker by the second. He swallowed hard, trying to swallow down that lump in his throat. He finally spoke, softly, but audible to her ears.
" Will you marry me?"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Find me here
Speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place where
I find peace again
You are the strength
That keeps me walking
You are the hope
That keeps me trusting
You are the life to my soul
You are my purpose
You are everything
Chorus: And how can I
Stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this
You calm the storms
You give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fall
You still my heart
And you take my breath away
Would you take me in
Would you take me deeper now
Chorus
'Cause you're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything
Everything
Chorus x3
Would you tell me
How could it be
Any better than this?
