“Well, well, if it isn’t dear old Granger!”
The all-to-well known voice rang loud in Hermione’s hears. Her once relaxed form visibly tensed up, upon hearing her most hated enemy’s approach. Keeping her back faced, she momentarily closed her eyes, taking a small deep breath, before finally mastering enough courage to turn around and face him; face the features and words she found all-to-repulsive. Thoughts were dripping from her brain as her eyes landed on his all-to-well known smirk. Some things never change – Draco Malfoy was the living proof of that.
Hermione kept a blank expression. She was getting too tired of these constant accusations and insults. For six years he had, subsequently and without any visible remorse, made her days at Hogwarts all-to-imperfect. He was the pebble in her shoe; the horn in her back. He was one of the many things she actually regretted, having in her life; Astute as always – cunning and direct – with a comeback always ready to slip from his lips. Yes, Draco Malfoy truly was a paradox. Intelligent and powerful, there were few who could stand as high and mighty, as the Slytherin Prince; the Malfoy astounding good looks only being a bonus. The all-to-well known cruel and cocky attitude that he never seemed to get tired of, was always there, making itself known. His cruelty and manipulating attitude towards others made the boy – yes, she would not consider him a man, yet – almost unbreakable. Almost.
A paradox indeed. Draco Malfoy could have been so much better. In so many ways, he’d overcome Harry with a mere flick of his wand. Sometimes, the Boy-Who-Lived would be compared with the Slytherin Prince, and, sometimes, Draco got the upper hand. But instead of using that as an advantage, the boy had decided to simply hate the scar-headed (as Hermione heard him call once) with burning passion, dreaming of the day, when he would finally get to beat Harry. Don’t you know Malfoy? As cliché as it may sound, in the end, evil does not overcome good. Harry would always win, simply because, your heart is not in the right place. You’ve created a shell around yourself; a false persona. What you show the world outside is this gorgeous bastard – a weeping boy for his father. You take your personality, mix it up with a bit arrogance and held it up, for everyone to see; for everyone to fear. Yes, a paradox.
“My, my Granger! Still not getting famous for your looks, are you?”
“Well, you know me, Malfoy! I’m so helpless in that department. But maybe you could help me with some make-up tips? I’m sure you’ve learned enough of them by now. So many whores around you and all.” Yes. Hermione was indeed, not in the mood for this. All she wanted was to go back inside her carriage with a good old muggle book and fantasize the train-ride away.
“Grown a bit of tongue have you, Granger?” Draco questioned, the smirk still plastered on his face. He made no move to back off, whatsoever “And here I was asking myself if dear, old Granger had learned something this summer, other than the wonders of how to stay completely virginal ‘till death.”
“Twice you’ve called me dear, now. Not starting to get a soft stop for dear, old me, are you?” Hermione asked, deciding to ignore his earlier comment.
“I’d rather eat my own filth and die in it, mudblood.” Was he ever going to get that smirk out of his face?
“Whatever, Malfoy. Are you ever going to grow up?” she inwardly cursed herself though. He had called her that name so many times now, she was fairly accustomed to it – she hardly argued about it anymore. Unacceptable.
“Now, now, don’t you give me the “grow up” speech again, Granger. Have some imagination will you? Did you give up on practicing your comebacks in front of the mirror, again? Tsk, tsk.”
God, Malfoy. I hate you.
“Actually, I’ve found that spending time with mere thoughts of you in my head is completely unnecessary. I’m going to ignore you now.”
And with that, Hermione turned her back on him once again and began walking away. She could actually feel the holes Malfoy was burning through her skull, with his eyes. One of the many things she had learned about Malfoy over the years was his all-to-well known adverse to ignorance. Being the egocentric bastard he was, he loathed being ignored. Made him cringe. And Hermione loved to see him cringe.

Era a primeira vez. Era a primeira vez que ele me levava com ele. Era a primeira vez que caminhava, em passos mudos e cautelosos, a seu lado, durante a noite fria. Caminhávamos lado a lado, por entre ruelas estreitas, pobremente iluminadas, com um cheiro característico a queijo podre – esgotos. Não havia voz na nossa companhia – ela mantinha-se em silêncio.
Estava frio nessa noite. A minha camisola verde seco, já um pouco gasta pelo uso, nada me aquecia quando uma leve aragem me passava pelo corpo. Mantinha a cabeça baixa, tentado disfarçar o ocasional bater dos meus dentes, pois não queria incomodá-lo com tal facto.
Ele estava muito concentrado; a sua face encontrava-se resguardada pela sombra da grande cartola vermelha; o casaco fazia-o parecer maior do que realmente era, avultando-lhe a figura; trazia as mesmas luvas de cabedal.
Caminhámos, lentamente, durante bastante tempo, apesar de não saber as horas certas. Nada dissemos durante todo esse tempo que eu não fazia questão em contar. Um pouco mais à frente, no fim de uma das ruas estreitas, encontrava-se um pequeno jardim. Nunca tinha lá estado e o jardim não me era em nada familiar. Era pequeno, rodeado de edifícios de pedra de madeira já bastante velhos. As árvores – pinheiros, laranjeiras, cedros – erguiam-se por entre as casas altas, dando uma espécie de aura diferente ao pequeno local; um pequeno oásis no meio da apodrecimento que era aquela cidade.
Avançámos por entre o portão ferrugento, entreaberto. Ele abrandou ainda mais o passo se possível, e, cautelosamente, aproximou-se de um dos variados arbustos mal tratados. Eu segui-o sem pronunciar palavra, tentando não fazer muito barulho.
Até a respirar tinha cuidado.
Juntei-me a ele, atrás de um arbusto seco com um cheiro esquisito. Reparei na sua concentração – quase nem pestanejava. Olhava em frente; um pequeno brilho banhava-lhe os olhos. Fiquei curioso e espreitei por entre os ramos murchos.
Mesmo no centro do pequeno jardim, um grupo de rapazes e raparigas, pareciam divertir-se a fazer pontaria, com latas de bebida, a um dos candeeiros de luz amarela, que iluminavam o local de “pelagem” verde. Não tive tempo de os contar. Ele interrompeu-me o raciocínio:
“Aquele ali.”
O seu sussurro sobressaltou o meu ouvido, ainda habituado ao silêncio. Segui-lhe o olhar, para tentar perceber de qual dos rapazes falava. Ambos os nossos olhos se prenderam num rapaz, sentando num dos bancos de mármore. Bebia descontraidamente uma lata de alguma bebida e tentava acertar no dito candeeiro, com pedrinhas minúsculas que ia apanhando do chão arenoso.
Tentei reparar no interesse que o rapaz deveria ter despertado nele. Parecia novo. Seria da minha idade ou mais novo – nunca mais velho. A luz dos candeeiros alumiava-lhe o cabelo castanho-escuro. Era um pouco moreno. De físico era magro – t-shirt branca e calças de ganga gastas. Não notei nenhuma característica peculiar para que ele o tivesse escolhido.
“Não é nada de especial.” sussurrei-lhe, após a minha observação demorada.
Um pequeno sorriso surgiu nos seus lábios. Sim. O ciúme era evidente na minha voz baixa, apesar de o tentar fortemente evitar. Aquele rapaz, não me despertava atenção alguma.
Continuámos a observá-lo. Notei que o pobre do cachopo raramente abria a boca; raramente tentava conviver com o resto do grupo, enquanto estes, após terem celebrado a vitória de ter conseguido partir um dos candeeiros, se movimentaram então para um outro candeeiro, que se encontrava perto de uma laranjeira em flor.
“Mais uns momentos e farta-se. E quando se fartar, vai-se embora. E quando se for embora… aí, apareço eu.”
Ouviu-se uma pequena gargalhada do fundo da sua garganta e o sorriso tornou-se largo e divertido. Os seus olhos estavam agora bem abertos, com o dobro do tamanho. Estava estranhamente tenso; as mãos bem cerradas em punhos. Raramente o via assim – como um papão dos desenhos animados, excitado por ir assustar algo ou alguém.
Arrepiei-me.
Uma das coisas que fui aprendendo ao longo de todo o tempo que estava a seu lado era que, ele era um observador nato da raça humana. E sim, não tardou muito até ao rapaz efectivamente se levantar e se espreguiçar aborrecido. O Kuskapit sabia sempre como um certo alguém – uma certa pessoa – se comportava apenas por observar a sua postura, feições; olhar e odor. Ninguém sabia tanto de nós, como ele.
O rapaz disse algo aos amigos. Algo que não conseguimos ouvir, devido à nossa distância. Ao meu lado, as gargalhadas tornavam-se constantes, quase sem interrupções. Tentei manter-me calmo e quieto. Não queria assustar-me.
“Cinza, vai para a primeira rua à esquerda e espera por mim aí.”
Sabia que teria de o obedecer sem contestar, apesar de a vontade de o deixar não ser muita. Talvez o estivesse a fazer somente para me proteger. Ou, talvez apenas quisesse que eu não me tornasse num adereço irritante, enquanto ele se tornava em outro.
Suspirando, levantei-me.
A noite continuava fria. Sentado numa das pequenas escadas de pedra de um dos edifícios, contava os pirilampos que se dirigiam, cegos, contra a luz flácida de um poste de electricidade. Tinha feito o caminho de volta sem grandes problemas, deixando-o lá na mesma posição com que estava, já há vários minutos. Dizia minutos como quem dizia horas ou segundos.
Estava num estado de teimosia imensa e recusava-me a saber as horas. Os pirilampos assemelhavam-se a pequenas borboletas, com baixo QI, que insistiam no suicídio em massa. Mas, os bafos que a minha boca libertava, para me distrair do frio duraram muito pouco. O ar que tinha dentro de mim já era tão gélido, que o calor já não se fundia na atmosfera.
O sono ameaçava apoderar-se de mim.

i like your hands.
they’re veiny and wrinkly,
where bones scrap
against the red skin.
slim fingers with round
tips and nail bites
hold the brown necklace
with foul smell given
by false love.
-
i like your hands.
they match the
soft raw lips – they’re warm.
they’re always warm as
you crack the poor bones
and sigh with
false love.
-
i like your hands.
they touch various
bodies and blank spaces
passing heat and
tender softness,
masked by the
indifference of
false love.
