A/N: I found this little thing in a notebook from a couple years ago. It's kind of a strange little piece, definitely not what I usually write. I, of course, own nothing. Enjoy!
His dad was definitely right: Mudbloods shouldn't be allowed at Hogwarts. Because every time he has a class wither her she just never shuts up and it gave him a headache that lasted the rest of the day.
Thanks, Hermione.
Somehow she ends up friends with Potter and Weasley and well that just figures. He hears stories of the trio defeating a mountain troll. He isn't impressed, but he does wonder how they accomplished it. Maybe Granger annoyed it to death.
And so maybe stupid Potter made Slytherin lose the Quidditch cup, but they've still got the House Cup in the bag. But then Potter and his stupid friends defeat The Dark Lord and win Gryffindor a million points and they take the House Cup, too. Draco has a hard tome believing that a Mudblood like Granger could have helped in bringing down the greatest wizard of all time.
But, he thinks, she may be an annoying Muggle-born, but she is pretty smart.
ooo
Hermione Granger manages to get herself Petrified in second year. It only would have been slightly funnier if she had died.
(Maybe not.)
The weeks of classes with the Gryffindors without her answering every bloody question are amazing. He goes for days at a time without a migraine. But, big surprise, Potter gets into the Chamber of Secrets and defeats the Dark Lord. Again.
He is not looking forward to another year of classes with the bushy haired know-it-all.
ooo
Third year is fairly uneventful.
Draco is viciously attacked by an evil Hippogriff one day in Care of Magical Creatures, but he makes it out alive.
(Barely.)
He's assaulted again later in the year by none other than Hermione Granger. The bitch had the nerve to hit him. He kept this particular injury quiet.
Getting hit by a girl? Embarrassing.
Getting hit by a know-it-all Mudblood? End-of-your-life reputation ruiner.
ooo
Fourth year is some stupid tournament. The Yule Ball is actually kind of fun, especially because someone sneaks in some Firewhiskey, which makes everything better.
Granger goes with Victor Krum and Draco wonders what exactly she had to do to make that happen.
She does look pretty, though.
(Kind of.)
At some point in the year, rumors fly about Potter and Granger. It doesn't surprise him, but he had always thought that she might have had a thing with Weasley.
Maybe she's doing them both.
ooo
Suddenly, the Dark Lord is back and everything gets complicated. Over the next few years, Draco doesn't think about the trio much. He hears rumors and of course there is that day at Malfoy Manor. Later, they save his life and he feels like he owes them.
ooo
Years later, he seems them with their kids, getting ready to go to Hogwarts. He nods at them and thinks maybe they're not so bad. Little Rose Weasley has some of her mother's looks, which is actually a good thing. Hermione Granger—Weasley, he reminds himself—has become quite a beautiful woman. He looks at his son, and then at the Potter-Weasley clan. He thinks for just a moment that if his son ended up friends (or more) with one of those kids, maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing ever.
