Forgotten Feelings

Prologue: New Beginnings

It was Hermione's first day of school… again… she was 13 and yet she can't even settle in a single school for more than a year! She didn't blame her parents for it because it's not their fault they were reassigned to different parts of Europe right? She's only 13 but she's been all over Europe now! It was 2 months ago that she received her letter for Hogwarts. Since then, a slight tinge of hope came through her. Finally, she'll have a place to call home. It's hard being in a new school… people staring at you, whispering amongst them like you're some kind of alien from another universe. But Hogwarts is different. All her new classmates will be as left out as she is. It's her chance of a new beginning, a new life. A life completely different from the one she was brought up to. Her former muggle schools were different, far different than this. Before, she was always on top of her class, she was known as the "braniac" of her school. People kept teasing her because of her remarkable intelligence… "People just don't understand." She often hear herself say. She felt left out before, she felt she never belonged in that world… she was far different from her classmates… But now, as she stood before the Great Walls of Hogwarts, she felt comfortable… She felt normal for once… there's a warm feeling inside her just looking at the marvelous walls of her new home… She'd been excited about this, of course… She spent her vacation reading all about Hogwarts and studying books with different spells her mom gave her. She'd come prepared. She read different books and the more she read the more fascinated and excited she felt. After marveling at the school's beauty, she decided to go inside. She really didn't know anyone except for the two boys she met at the train. She looked for them at the huge pile of crowd and after moments of looking, finally managed to get to them.

"Oh, Hey Hermione! Hogwarts is reat right?" a boy with extremely disturbing red hair named Ron greeted her.

"Yah! I like it here." Hermione managed a smile and the boy next to Ron named Harry smiled back at her.

" C'mon! Let's go inside." Harry told them pulling the two inside… Hogwarts is even more marvelous inside! Hermione thought to herself. The gray stonewalls were breath taking and the candlelights floating above them were just simply amazing! Different paintings were hung up on both sides of the walls and each one greeted them with a smile or a simple "welcome." They were about to enter the Great Hall when someone called her newfound friend, Harry Potter.

"Well, if it isn't the famous Harry Potter." A boy with blonde hair and gray eyes greeted them. Before Harry could formulate a reply the boy kept on talking.

"My name is Draco Malfoy." He turned to Ron before speaking again.

"And you must be a Weasley, considering those robes you're wearing which looks like it's the same age as my Grandmother and the extremely disturbing red hair you have. Am I right?" He raised an eyebrow and a smirk appeared on his face.

"Yes! I am a Weasley. What's wrong with red hair anyway?" a slight tone of irritation started to rise from Ron as he stared furiously at the blonde. Draco didn't bother answering Ron's question, instead, he turned to Hermione.

"And you are?" he said, one eyebrow still raised.

"Hermione Granger." She replied studying his features. She couldn't help but admit that he's quite good looking but he has this cold stare he gives when he looks at you. And those gray eyes were blank; no emotions can be seen through them. He has blonde hair pushed back which made him even more attractive. Before she could even finish studying him, Draco spoke, "Never heard of you… Well, Potter, I guess you chose lame friends. But we can arrange that. Come! Join us!" He motioned for Harry to go with him and join them but Harry said, "Thanks but no thanks! I think my new friends are perfectly fine. Now, if you'll excuse us, we'll be on our way." Harry started walking and moments later he was joined by Hermione and Ron. That smirk in Draco's face turned into an irritated frown and he managed to say, "Fine Potter! You'll be sorry for this." With that said, he turned around and walked the opposite way to the other boys whom Hermione assumed to be his friends. They continued to walk to the Great Hall, Ron and Harry talking about boy stuff. She just kept silent thinking about that boy they just met, Draco Malfoy. There was something in him. Only thinking about him made her feel warm and cozy. She felt her cheeks turn red when he looked at her and asked her name even though there was disinterest in his voice. She wanted to know him better, to be his friend. Little did she know that Draco felt the same. Years passed and their feelings for each other slowly disappeared. They had loathed each other. Those feelings they had for each other on that first day of school were forgotten…. Or is it?
