Author: starduchess
Pairing: Draco/Hermione
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 100
Warnings: drama, angst
A/N: Written for DMHG Challenge October 2014 prompt: Bloody Baron. I won first place again!
Draco paces the corridors of Hogwarts, sometimes searching, sometimes brooding, ever watchful. He sees her sneaky movements, hears her bossy arguments, smells her perfume.
But mostly, he senses her magic, and it infuriates him.
He grips his wand tighter, waiting for an opening. Just one shot is all he needs…
“Don’t,” whispers a voice out of the darkness.
He turns to see the Bloody Baron close to him. “Why ever not?”
“That way lies the Heart’s death.” Without saying more, he floats away.
Draco turns back to her, heart and mind in turmoil. Eventually, he lowers his wand in defeat.
