a whole new love/ a whole new person

Chapter 7: There's love in the air

On the day of the game, all the students were in a hurry to see who would win. Ravenclaw or Slytherin?Hermione and Ginny made their way through the crowd in the stands to find a good seat.Meanwhile, Draco was in the locker room with his team of which he was the captain. He was still the seeker, Blaise the keeper, Crabbe and Goyle the batsmen and Flint, Parkinson and Bulstrode the chasers.He was making the last recommendations before starting the match when Madame Hooch's whistle announced the arrival of the teams on the field. So they entered the Quidditch pitch with their broom in hand. The Slytherins cheered their team while the Ravenclaws cheered theirs:"I don't want any cheating, do you understand? 1...2...3!!"- The quaffle is launched! exclaimed Lee Jordan.Hermione watched him soar off on his broomstick. How handsome he was in his Quidditch outfit sitting on his broom with his haughty air. He was her catcher. The one who managed to grab his heart like it was the Snitch which wasn't easy normally. But he had succeeded without Hermione having had time to say "Quidditch".Draco looked around for the Snitch but his gaze fell on Hermione. She was there ! And she was looking at him too! :"Draco, focus! Put your whole head in the game and forget about it! She is not there. You have to find the Snitch and not let the Ravenclaws win"Draco shook his head and dove down the field followed by Cho Chang, the Ravenclaw Seeker. But he swooped back up and Cho stopped in time before crashing to the ground but he still wasn't focused. He only saw her:

"Coach said to fake right. And break leftWatch out for the pickAnd keep an eye on defenseGotta run the give and goAnd take the ball to the holeBut don't be afraidTo shoot the outside "J""Draco continued to search for the Snitch but his gaze still fell on the beautiful Gryffindor:"Just keep ya head in the gameJust keep ya head in the game"He repeated this phrase over and over but his brain refused to listen:"And don't be afraidTo shoot the outside "J"Just keep ya head in the game"Hermione, she looked at him, she had a feeling things weren't right up there. That Draco was struggling as if he was facing a great inner conflict and she had a feeling that she was the reason:"U gottaGet'cha head in the gameWe gottaGet our, get our, get our, get our head in the game"He repeated this phrase over and over again:"U gottaGet'cha head in the gameWe gottaGet our, get our, get our, get our head in the game"Again and again :"U gottaGet'cha head in the gameWe gottaGet our, get our, get our, get our head in the game"He saw his team watching him with great interest as well as the other students and teachers in the stands. He hadn't even noticed that he was singing but was apparently the only one even she had heard him:"Let's make sureThat we get the rebound'Cause when we get itThen the crowd will go wildA second chanceGotta grab it and goMaybe this timeWe'll hit the right notes »Suddenly, he grabbed a big bludger and fell from the broom, barely clinging to the handle:"Wait a minuteIt's not the time or placewait a minuteGet my head in the gamewait a minuteGet my head in the gamewait a minuteWait a minute »Hermione, seeing him fall, got up in a hurry ready to shout his name when Ginny put her hand in front of her mouth:"No, don't shout, otherwise everyone will know- I hope he is well- But yes, look, it goes up »Indeed, Draco had just got back on his broom:"I gottaGet my, get my head in the gameYou gottaGet'cha, get'cha, get'cha head in the game"But even by tirelessly repeating this sentence, nothing could divert his attention from the beautiful brunette:"Why am I feeling so wrongMy head's in the gameBut my heart's in the songShe makes this feel so right"But why do I think of her like that?!! Nothing had ever distracted me so much from my game!! »But Draco hadn't realized he was thinking out loud and he had shouted it so loudly that everyone heard him. The Slytherin team circled around him:"I gottaGet my, get my head in the gameYou gottaGet'cha, get'cha, get'cha, get'cha head in the game" x4.Draco lunged for the ground and caught the Snitch in midair under Cho Chang's hateful eye. Hermione stood and clapped enthusiastically as Ginny watched desperately as Harry and Ron watched. But they didn't notice Hermione, they were so upset that the Slytherins had won.That evening, around 9 p.m., Hermione went outside. She needed a change of scenery given the atmosphere that reigned in the Common Room following the victory of the Greens and Silvers.She was approaching the lake when she saw a figure taking shape near the Whomping Willow. She approached and saw in a moonbeam, platinum blond hair and she recognized him immediately. She continued to walk slowly towards the tree but stepped on a branch which caught the attention of Draco who looked in her direction.When he saw it was her, a smile graced her beautiful angelic face. He waved her over and Hermione sat down next to him. She was warm despite the cold of November. Him too by the way. Feeling her so close to him was weird. He looked at her and imprinted every feature, every mole in her memory:"Tell me Malfoy?"- Mmm?- Do you think you could change one day?- I am already changing- What ?- Do you really think that if I was like before, you would be there, next to me and that we would talk without insulting each other?- Yes, you're right. But what made you change?- I do not know. I was tired of obeying my father all the time. I want to live my life without being told. I want to become someone else but for that I need someone.- Of somebody ? From whom?- Of you.- Me ? But why me ?- I don't know. All I know is that I need you. I would love so much that between the two of us, it's possible. I would so love to be able to change my childhood, my education, the character of my father.I would love to change everything. Change the world and only you can do it- Enough to ? Change your father, your education and your childhood?- Nope. Change the world- Hey, but I'm not Merlin!- I know but I also know that if you are with me, your mere presence will change my world »He stopped looking at her and looked at the lake, his head back, held back by the trunk of the Whomping Willow:

"The memories we invent are the most beautiful. Childhood is more troubling when it's all wrongThey stole mine, they betrayed meI am the son of hate and contempt"Hermione listened carefully to the lyrics and thought to herself that he must not have had an easy childhood:"They put blinders on meAnd I was toldThe others, they want warYou will want it too »Hermione was still listening and felt compassion for the man who made her heart beat:"And I grew up in the shadow of feelingsFar too dark, far too dark for a child"He took Hermione's hand in his."Alone, I'm all aloneAlone, always too alone »Draco let go of Hermione's hand, got up and walked towards the lake."  It's not my faultIt's not my fault "He turned to Hermione:"If my parents made meWhat I am, what you see"Hermione got up and approached him calmly." It's not my faultIt's not my faultI am the arm of their revengeAnd I owe them obedience.Hermione took his arm tenderly and looked at him." It's not my faultdon't look at me like thatIt's not my faultI didn't have no choice"Draco collapsed on his knees:"I am the son of their violenceProud of her birth"Hermione stood behind him, wrapped her arms around his neck and gently rested her head on his back to comfort him." It's not my faultNo no no !! »He leaned forward which made Hermione's feet take off the ground and she was now on his back, her head resting in the crook of his neck:" It's not my faultdon't look at me like thatIt's not my fault "He squeezed Hermione's wrists with his hands while she gave him motherly kisses on the cheek:"I had no choiceI am the son of their violenceProud of her birth"Hermione, with tears in her eyes, continued to hug him behind his back, as tightly as possible. Draco turned his head towards her and they found themselves with their foreheads glued together:"The memories we invent are the most beautifulChildhood is more troubling when it's all wrongThey stole mine, they betrayed meI am the son of hate and contempt"Hermione loosened her grip when she felt Draco calm down. She knelt in front of him and forced him to look her in the eyes:"Your parents aren't here!" Enjoy!- OK "He was so vulnerable right now that Hermione wondered if he was really the Draco Malfoy she knew. She took him in her arms and stroked his hair. Draco hugged her tightly for fear that she would leave and he would find himself alone again:"Fortunately I have my little secret corner," Draco said.- Your little secret corner?- Yes, but now that you're here, I'll need it less.- I understand nothing "Draco stood up and held out his hand. Hand she grabbed with pleasure:"Come on, I'll show you. Accio Nimbus 2001! »His broom rushed in and Draco caught it in midair:"Come on, get on!" he said climbing on the broom.- Uh, I don't think that's a good idea.- But if go get in front »Hermione sat down in front of Draco and when the broom started to rise, Hermione clung to the handle. Draco seeing her panicked wrapped his arms around her and rested his head on her neck:"Don't worry, I'm in charge"Hermione felt protected, surrounded by his two strong arms. They gained altitude and passed the clouds:

"I'm going to give you a world. To a thousand and one splendorstell me princessHave you ever let your heart speakDraco descended a little lower without passing the clouds again:"I will open your eyesTo delights and wondersOf this journey in the skyIn the land of the blue dream »He climbed a little higher and tightened his embrace as he felt Hermione stiffen in fear." This blue dreamIt's a new world in colorWhere no one tells usIt's forbiddenTo still believe in happinessDraco passed the clouds and stopped above black lake:" This blue dreamI do not believe itThat's wonderfulFor me it's fabulousHigh in the skiesWe share this blue dream togetherWe make this blue dream together"Draco descended further above the water:"Under the crystal skyI feel so light"Hermione raised her arms horizontally and lifted herself off the broom, held back by one of Draco's hands."I turn, delirious and capsizeIn an ocean of stars »She got back on the broom normally and touched the water of the black lake below them:" This blue dream "Draco swooped up and Hermione clapped her hands over her eyes."Don't Close Your Eyes"He gently took her hands from her eyes and put them on the handle:"It's a fabulous tripAnd behold these marvels"He kissed her in the crook of her neck and lifted his head, caressing Hermione's cheek with the tip of his nose."I climbed too highTo go too farI can't come backA blue dreamWhere I come from "Hermione let go of the handle and circled Draco's neck in front:"On the horses of the windTowards the horizons of happinessIn the stardustThe life we ​​expectInfinitelyAnd live this wonderful dream"Hermione turned her head to Draco and they looked into each other's eyes." This blue dreamThis blue dreamTo the thousand nightsTo the thousand nightsIt will lastAnd you and meAll the life "
