Hermione's brilliant brown eyes watched the gleaming colors across the sky, while Draco Malfoy glared at her.
Glare.
"Why don't you watch the sunset, Malfoy, instead of glaring at me!" She exclaimed angrily. She knew he was sneering.
"Because, Granger, sunset-watching is for weak people." Laughter.
"Malfoy, you were out here before me."
Glare.
Yellow faded away into orange and pink, melting with the purple and blue of the darkeninig sky.
-Close my eyes, just for tonight.-
-The sun still sleeps and when she wakes-
"Granger, you're weak."
"Of course, Malfoy. Whatever you want to think."
Glare.
The orange was but a thin line over the horizon of the lake and pink mixed with blue and the sky beacme purple and indigo.
Glare.
"Stop glaring, there are much more beautiful things to be glaring at than my face. Perhaps the sunset?"
"Maybe if I said there isn't anything more beautiful out her, Granger, would you leave me alone?"
"Hell no, I'd ask if you're crazy!"
Glare.
-Maybe love will find us again-
-For there is always tomorrow-
-Sincerely till the end-
Slowly, the pink and orange setted, leaving the sky a bright purple, not yet dark. Hermione could find the slightest trace of a star, though.
Glare.
"The sun is done setting, Malfoy. You can stop glaring."
"Nonsense, Granger. Nonsense indeed."
Huff. Sigh. "Fine."
The sun was completely down and the sky was dark.
"You can't glare in the dark, Malfoy."
"Oh yes I surely can, Granger. Watch."
Glare.
"I can't watch, it's dark. I'm heading in."
-Close my eyes, just for tonight-
-The sun still sleeps, and when she wakes-
-You'll be a memory-
"Goodnight Malfoy."
"Yeah, whatever Granger."
"You know, you haven't called me a mudblood all night."
Smirk. "Why? Do you miss it?"
The stars twinkled in the sky.
"No."
"Okay. Bye mudblood."
"Happy sunsets, Malfoy." Grin.
