Hermione Granger X Draco Malfoy
"You know, I get it Draco! I get it!" She's yelling, her cheeks red and eyes aflame, "What am I to you, huh? What am I but a girl you can take to bed when you're bored? What am I but a filthy litte mu—"
He grabs her hand angrily,
and shoves it against his chest.
Over his heartbeat
"Can you feel it?"
His eyes meet hers
Stormy and dark
And full of feeling she can't place.
But she does feel it.
His up-beat heartbeat.
"It's for you," He whispers, like gritting his teeth, "all of it."
They stand there.
Her hand on his heart,
Her gaze on his,
Until her breathing eases,
the storm in his eyes diminishes,
and the wild beat of his heart turns into a steady rhythm.
"Everything else you may break Granger," He murmurs, "But this."
He lifts a hand on top of hers
"Throw things, yell insults, break every promise you've ever made. But /never/ doubt this —" He swallows hard, "— my heart belongs anywhere other than with you."
Tears gather into her eyes.
He puts his forehead against hers "That may be the only good thing I have."
She lifts her hand to the side of his face as he breathes out "Because it's yours."
"No." She shakes her head slightly, "not the only good thing."
And then she kisses him
