The outside became less wet and muddy. The air became a gossamer scent that was crisp, chilly and bright, earthy and haunting. She could smell bittersweet walnut, pallid flowers, dusty woods and soft herbs. Night-blooming flowers added their notes to the slush. Pale musk, spruce. Magic blossomed boldly in the night.
That is just poetic and gorgeous and .. MAGICAL. SO stunning. It literally takes your breath away.
Girls fancied Draco Malfoy because he wasn’t a hero, and he didn’t want to be. He was a Malfoy, he was certainly good looking, but most of all, it was because he looked so shuttered whenever he wasn’t flaunting or taunting. Girls wanted to draw him out, make him lose control, make him burn. What an accomplishment it would be, to make that pale skin blush, to set him on fire.
GOD, YES! You've got it DOWN. Except you had it down more beautifully than anyone else. Fire. Draco. Good lord. I've lost coherency. I WANT TO MAKE HIS PALE SKIN BLUSH. Mmmm.
“You think I don’t know you were following me?” he snarled.
“If you have a problem-”
“My problems,” he hissed, “are so much bigger than you.” He let her go and stepped away from her, breathing hard, his breaths making his body shudder. At the door, he paused. “Don’t ever follow me again,” he said, and left.
YOU'VE TOTALLY DONE IT. You've taken CANON!Draco and YOUR!Draco and created this FUCKINGBREATHTAKINGHYBRID!Draco. I'm in love. I'm floored.
She had been sputtering at the cold when he grasped her hands and tugged her out and into him, holding her firmly against his lean body. He hadn’t been afraid to touch her then. He hadn’t been so withdrawn.
Oh.. that is just so.. wonderful. It makes me happy. But it also makes me sad. I'm just.. gah. This part made me teary. It just kind of hit me. I know, I'm weird. :/
“I believe in you,” she whispered, twining her arms around his neck, hearing, at last, no more of the crunching of snow beneath their feet, just Draco breathing hard and the wind in dead branches. So.. poignant. And.. sad. And.. oh God, don't you see it?! THEY'RE IN LOVE! :)
At the castle, she paused.
“Go in first,” she said, lips numb and dry. “I want to stay outside a bit longer.”
Oh, Hermione. She broke me. This whole thing broke me. Draco was just.. I have no words for this Draco you wrote, Lee. I am just SO grateful that I met you.
