Chapter 1

I Can't Hide My Feelings



I really don't know how it happened but it did. I remember the day I actually fell in love. I know this sounds kind of corny but it's true. I was in Potions class when it all happened. When Harry Potter (one of the most famous wizards in the world), Ron Weasly (You know? The guy with the fiery red hair and freckles) and I, Hermione Granger (one of the smartest students in all of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry) were all talking about our most hated class mate, Draco Malfoy (The guy with the gel in his hair). It was because earlier in the morning that we were talking about him. He just came up to us and said "Well Weasel.looks like you got new robes. 'Bout time" he said with a smirk. When he did, I felt a strange sensation inside of me. 'Well.' I thought '.no matter. He still made fun of one of my closest friends and I don't think I'm about to stand for it.' I remember him saying in our fourth year that he hated being poor. I felt so sorry for him that day. But he still seemed happy the next day, which astonished me. I simply frowned and gave a fake laugh "Ha ha ha.very funny, Dracula. Why don't you change into a bat and go back to that hole you came from?" I could tell I got him really angry. I could see his face get all red. Actually he seemed kind of cute like that.Oh my God..was I think this way about Draco Malfoy. My most hated rival. 'Never!!!' I screamed in my head.

"Listen, mudblood" he said in a quivering voice. "When I talk to you.I will address you. But I wasn't talking to you was I? No! So stay out of it!" For some reason, I didn't feel as offended when he called me 'mudblood' this time. I wasn't mad.but I wasn't happy either. I said, " You know.the way you call me that name is so old. For some reason I really don't care about what you say about me. But just stay out of our way, you bastard!!!" I went into the classroom and I could hear Harry and Ron following me. I felt kind of good the way I spoke to him. Everyone always gave him respect, which he didn't deserve. Well there we were. In the classroom talking about him. I knew that I shouldn't have raised my voice like that because that's not what I'm usually like. So I started to feel sorry for the way I acted. I sighed and looked over at him. That's when I noticed he was staring at me. I saw him look away quickly and I did the same thing. I felt my face getting all hot a tingly. "Thanks for sticking up for me, 'Mione" I heard Ron say. "Uhhhh.yeah. You're welcome. Heh heh heh.I'd do it again!!!" I said with a fake laugh. "If Snape wasn't there, I would've punched a hole in that pretty little face of his. That would teach him a thing or two." I saw Ron make that cute frown of his. I couldn't help but laugh. "Something funny, Mrs. Granger?" I heard Professor Snape say. He's one of the teachers I least like. That ass-hole didn't answer my hand when I put it up on the first day I was here. But then again he did want to pick on poor Harry. I don't know what he's got against him anyways. Well other then him being jealous of his dead father, James Potter.

"No.nothing at all Professor." I said with a flat voice. I gave another sigh as he left our table. I was really tired from studying so much last night. Then Malfoy came back to my mind. 'Why do I keep thinking of him when I hate him so much?' I thought to myself. I was grinding my weed plant in my bowl while thinking this. I was thinking so much, that I hardly noticed that my plant had turned into a very fine paste. "Hey.it's not gonna get any softer then it already is, Hermione." Harry said with a soft chuckle. I gave a great jump and looked at my bowl. He was right.it was good enough to make my own bowl! I laughed when I saw it and I added it to the rest of my ingredients in my cauldron. I raised my hand "Professor, I'm done".

****************

I saw her raise her hand and say "Professor, I'm done". For some reason, when she insulted me, I couldn't quite think of a good comeback. She went into the classroom while I stood there stuck in my own words. After I went in I couldn't stop staring at her. There was something about her I couldn't explain. When she looked at me, I turned away. I was scared she might that I like her. 'It couldn't be' I thought to myself. 'It would be too weird. Pure-breed Draco Malfoy in love with a mudblood like Hermione Granger. That sounds way too odd.' I finished my potion and raised my hand. "Professor, I'm finished" He came to my cauldron, took out a sick looking rat and made it drink it. After a while it looked a whole lot better. " You're anti-poison is perfect. Very good, very good." He said and walked away. 'He should've just let it die' I thought. 'Then we wouldn't have gone through the trouble of rescuing it. Me.now that's a whole different story.' I thought with a grin. I saw Snape go and poison the rat again at his table. 'Hopefully Neville's potion might kill it.' I thought still grinning. Then I thought of her again. I stared back at her and I saw her laughing. She looked very pretty when she laughed. But when I saw what she was laughing at a sort of felt.well..jealous. She was always laughing at all of Ron's jokes. 'Why can't I be funny like that? Why can't I ever have such a sense of humor? Why can't I have her?' I jumped at my last thought. 'Why can't I have her?' I thought as I chuckled. 'Because I don't want her!' I heard the bell ring.

I jumped out of my seat and walked out of the classroom in a very fast pace. It's not like I don't like potions class. It's one of my favorite classes actually. Since I like to make fun of Potty and Weasel and the mudblood. I mean.who wouldn't? The way they could get anyone to be their friends. Oh well, like I care. Like they're going to grow up to have good jobs like me in the Ministry of Magic. As I walked to the great hall, I noticed Hermione there with Ron and Harry as usual. And like I always did I ignored them and went on my way. But something wasn't normal there. She was still looking at me with that expression again. It always looked like she was worried about me or something. In all of the 6 years I've been here, I haven't seen her look at me like that at all. I gave a sudden frown and I couldn't just ignore the fact that she was still staring at me. I wanted her to stop so I didn't have to think about her anymore. I started to walk towards the group.

****************

I saw him walk toward me. 'Damn!!! Why did I have to look at him again?' I thought to myself. When he came up to us he said "Stop staring at me, mudblood. You're gonna turn me into stone soon." I just realized that he called me Medusa! I scoffed "Is that the best you could do? At least I don't stare at you the entire time we're in class. Or do I have to remind my friends of what I saw you doing earlier?" I gave a small evil grin. I saw him blush a scarlet red when I mentioned the classroom. It was so obvious he didn't want me to say anything about it. But I felt that feeling again. I felt sorry for him again. And not only that he looked really cute when he blushed. I wanted to melt in his arms. That seemed like a good idea at the time but when I snapped out of it and came back into reality, I saw that he had shaken off the redness in his face. "I don't know what you're talking about, mudblood. I wouldn't stare at you if you were the last girl on earth!" he said with an evil grin. "Funny how I don't believe that" I said my face getting all hot. "Funny how you don't stop staring at me either. Like I'm going to die or something," He said hotly. I felt Ron's and Harry's eyes on me. "I can't help it. Now that I realized that you probably will. Being a future Death Eater and stuff. I can't help but feel sorry for you."

***************************

Now I felt very mad. 'What does she know about me being a Death Eater? Like I actually wanted to become one.' I thought. My head was spinning, trying to look for a good comeback. "Oh yeah?!? Well.at least I don't screw my friends!" I roared. I heard three pissed off voices. "WHAT?!?!" I smiled evilly. "Yeah. It's sort of a three-some here isn't it? I mean..it's kind of obvious that you're all screwing around." I never thought of a greater insult. I saw that she was really pissed. She was also very hurt from the way I saw tears well up in her eyes. "Don't try to deny it. You're just a whore. You screw around with everyone and you're trying to do it with me. Well I'm not gonna fall for you. Because you're just not my type. Or are you?" I said with a mischievous grin. She gasped and roared back "YOU BASTARD!!!" The next thing I knew I heard a big slap sound and I was on the floor with my hand on my cheek. And I saw Hermione run up the stairs. Probably off to the Gryfinndor Common Room. I saw Harry and Ron run after her. Then I felt something inside of me. Something telling me that it wasn't a good idea to insult her like that. That's when I knew I loved her.

*************************

I never felt so hurt my entire life. I sat there in the library sobbing so much it seemed to ruin the silence of the library. Thankfully no one was in it when I ran inside. I sat beside the window. No one would be able to come and bother me there. Or so I thought. After what seemed an hour of sobbing I stopped and looked out the window. Still sniffing, still thinking of him. 'Why would anyone try and hurt someone so deeply?' But still the real reason I was crying wasn't because of that and I definitely knew that. It was because I was heart broken. I liked him and I knew I did from the moment I first met him. I knew that there could be good in him if people just gave him a chance but no one ever did. Not even me. They just assumed that he was no good and as evil as a demon. But he hurt me deeply and now I knew he had no heart. No pity..just the same darkness in him as his father and Voldemort. I gave a sigh and kept looking outside. Then I heard a soft voice "Fancy meeting you here, Granger." I looked up and saw him, Draco Malfoy.

**********************

I looked down at her. I knew I'd be able to find her here because whenever I came here I'd find her here reading a book or something. Honestly, what else do you do in a library? She looked up at me and looked away. It seemed she didn't want to see me but I couldn't just leave her there. 'God she's beautiful.' I thought. And she was.she truly was. "I er- thought that I could find you here." I said still looking at her, "Like you care" she answered. "Seems like you care only for yourself." She looked really pissed. I wanted to hug her and tell her how sorry I was and how I felt about her but I couldn't do that. My father taught me to have patience and when to use it. Now was a good time for it. "Look.I know you hate me for what I said. And it seems very unlikely that you're never going to forgive me for it either. But I still want to talk to you and I want to ask you for.er." I said sheepishly. I felt my face get all hot. She looked up at me with curiosity. "Tell me what, Malfoy?" She was still looking at me. I sighed and looked at her with a sorry expression. "I'm.sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you or make you cry. I just.I just." She just smiled up at me and looked down at her feet. "You just don't know how to love someone?" She looked up at me again. I felt my face get hotter and my tongue get twisted. She laughed and motioned me to go and sit with her. I looked around and went to sit with her and I did something I never did before.

*************************

He put his arm around my shoulder. I smiled even wider and rested my head on his shoulder. I could feel his heart beat in a very fast pace. I knew he was nervous and I knew he felt the same way as I felt. We loved each other. It's like the modern Beauty and the Beast kind of thing. Everything seemed so right and I wanted this feeling to never go away. But it did shortly. What would Harry and Ron say if they found out about this? They would kill him for sure.literally! But I couldn't stop feeling what I was feeling. I couldn't change the fact that I was in love with Draco Malfoy. Then again I couldn't change the fact that he would die if they did find out. But it wasn't my fault. I felt his eyes upon me. I looked up at him and he was staring down at me with a soft smile. Then his lips met mine. His lips were warm for someone that was cold all the time. I decided I wouldn't hide the way I felt for him. I was in love with Draco Malfoy and he was in love with me. Nothing could change that.
