That look
"I just can't take it anymore!" Draco Malfoy yelled as he slammed his fists against the wall, staring after hi long-time crush, Hermione Granger.
"calm down, mate. She's not the only girl in the world. You know she's never going to be interested so let it go. Hey, why not see if pansy wants to go out sometime?" Blaize Zabini rolled his eyes at Draco, who was now staring down the corridor at the fading figure that was Hermione.
"I just wish I could have never said those things. Then I might just have a shot with her. She has barely spoken to anyone since Weasel died."
Blaize sighed and said "lets go to class, Slughorns waiting."

Hermione looked back at draco as she walked away. She turned into the common room to see harry and ginng sitting by the fireplace. Not speaking and staring at the flames. She made up her mind.
"Harry? Ginny? Can I talk to you please?"
They turned around and smiled. She went and sat next to them, staring at the fire for a moment, trying to force the words to come up. She thought of him, and tears welled up in her eyes. It had been such a tough year for all three of them. Hermione remembered Ron's part in the war that cost him his life.
Harry ran into the great hall under the cover of the invisibility cloak, he saw Voldemort battling McGonnagal, Kingsley and Slughorn all at the same time. Another battle was raging between Ron, Hermione and Bellatrix. Harry turned towards Voldemort as he heard
"Avada Kedavra" and spun around. Bellatrix' wand was pointing directly at Ron; he stayed still for a moment and then fell to the ground like a marionette whose strings had been broken. Ron was dead.
Harry looked at Hermione.
"Well? What did you wanted to tell us?" Hermione snapped back to reality and saw Harry and ginny looking at her expectantly
"I don't know how your going to take this news but please don't be mad and please don't hate me because you guys mean everything to me. Well, here goes. I'm in love with draco. And if you don't like it then I'm sorry but that's how it is."
Harry looked shocked, and then turned to ginny, who nodded. He turned back to her and gave her a small smile, his first real one since Ron died.
"Hermione, how can we hate you? I'm cool with it and so is Ginny, so please, don't let us get in the way of your feelings."
Hermione looked at them both and smiled.
"well, now I need to go to the library, see you later."
She got up and skipped out of the room, with Harry and Ginng staring after her, grinning.
…./…./….
Hermione walked towards the library and walked headlong into Draco. She looked up at him, and the looks in their eyes said it all. They embraced as Hermione looked up at him, tears welling up in her eyes. Draco smiled and said
"let's take this somewhere private."
