Drabbletag - Hands On
Title: Wand-Free
Prompt: Drabbletag 4 - Hands On
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Pansy/Hermione
Rating: PG
Word count: 234
Hermione may have been raised in a Muggle household, having absolutely no idea that magic existed beyond what she’d read in storybooks, but she likes to think it’s become second nature to her now. When confronted with any crisis, her wand is instantly in her fingers, brain sifting through countless spells for a solution.
Of course, there are exceptions, those odd occasions when magic just doesn’t occur to her. But they’re rare and she doesn’t think she should be blamed if she, for example, momentarily forgets herself upon becoming trapped in the grip of Devil’s Snare.
The point is that nowadays magic is instinctive to her.
So there really is no explanation for the way she fails to reach for her wand when Pansy advances on her. No explanation for how she fails to cast a spell to defend herself, no explanation for how she freezes in place, eyes wide and hands balled into fists at her sides.
And when Pansy doesn’t hit or slap or kick her, when she leans in and kisses Hermione instead, there’s no explanation for the way she groans for it, soft and hungry and earnest.
Hands that had forgotten how to reach for her wand are suddenly reaching for Pansy’s hair, tangling there, pulling her closer, angling for deeper, harder, more.
There’s no explanation for it, but perhaps it’s not such a bad thing, this wand-free, hands-on approach.
