The Gardenia Pin
by ilke
The only true thing in Draco’s life was this gardenia. This small, silver Muggle pin.
It was hers. And it was it was pure, and good, and beautiful. Just like her.
But not forbidden.
One month ago he watched it fall from her robe.
Two weeks ago he watched her meticulously scan the library, its long aisles, and under the tables.
Three days ago he watched her make a slow zigzag down a corridor.
He couldn’t take his eyes off her.
In classrooms. In the Great Hall. In the library.
Once, she raised her head and looked straight at him. Even then, he couldn’t look away.
Especially then.
He was a coward, afraid to reach too high.
But it was time.
Graduation was over. This night was his last chance.
Draco examined the shiny flower between his fingers. His only true thing. It was everything he wasn’t and everything he wanted.
He fastened the pin to his lapel and looked at himself in the mirror.
Jump Draco.
Draco stopped directly in front of her, his eyes locked on hers, his heart thumping hard against his ribs.
She was searching his eyes, and he hoped she could see it, what he wanted to say but couldn’t, but she dropped her gaze.
And then she gasped.
His heart lurched.
She saw it.
She knew.
And her eyes flew back up to his.
“Hermione,” Potter said over her shoulder, “isn’t that your...?”
“No,” she said as a gentle smile blossomed on her mouth.
