Not That Different

"This isn't working out. We're too different."
 

****She said we're much too different
We're from two seperate worlds
And he admitted,she was partly right
But in his hearts defense he told her
What they had in common was strong enough to bond them for life
He said look behind your own soul and the person that you'll see
Just might remind you of me****
 

"You only think that because of you friends. They don't like me and are telling you you need a
change.i bet they want you, at least one of them anyways."

"How could you say that?!"

"Hermione....."
 

****I laugh
I love
I hope
I try
I hurt
I need
I fear
I cry
And I know you do the same things to
So we're really not that different, me and you****
 

Hermione stared at him after those words he just said. Draco Malfoy had a heart. He cared about her.
No matter. No amount of logic could change her mind. Harry was right, she needed a change.
 

****Now she could hardly argue
With his pure and simple logic
But logic never oculd convince a heart
She always dreamed of loving someone more exotic
And he just didn't seem to fit the part
So she searched for greener pasture
But never could forget
What he whispered when she left****
 

"Good-bye, Draco," Hermione said and left. He just stared at her, his heart in pieces.

For the next month, Hermione set out to find her dream man. The part of her that wanted more excitement
faded after every date when Draco's words passed through her mind.
 

****I laugh
I love
I gope
I try
I hurt
I need
I fear
I cry
And I know you do the same things too
So we're really not that different, me and you****
 

She sighed sitting in her room alone. Why was life so hard? She had to make the hardest decision in her life, but
she knew what she must do.
 

****Was it time?
Was it truth?
Maybe both led her back to his door
And as her tears fell at his feet
She didn't say I love you,
What she said meant even more.****
 

She got in her car and drove across town to Malfoy Mansion. Draco hated living there after his father was put in Azkaban and his mother died, but he did none the less.

Even at age 24, he hadn't lost his stubborn Malfoy pride. She got out of the car and approached the door. She rang the doorbell in their secret code. Draco stared at the door. It couldn't be her. Why would she be here? He got up and walked to the door. He opened it and their eyes met. It was like they were falling in love all over again. Then, before Draco say anything, Hermione said through tears,"
 

****I laugh
I love
I hope
I try
I hurt
I need
I fear
I cry
And I know you do the same things too
So we're really not that different
No we're really not that different, me and you.****
 

They embraced tightly and everything was better than before.
