This was written for the OTP Boot Camp challenge at HPFC, Hope you enjoy :)
She hated him. That was the cold hard truth. But, why did she?
There were his infuriating smirks and sneers, his derogatory way of speaking to those he considered beneath him and the way he manipulated girls to get what he wanted. The worst part of that was when he was done with them; he would treat them like trash.
In Quidditch matches, he would always take things out of the way just to make things difficult for Harry. Things also went to a personal level when he taunted her of being a muggle-born, which hurt. She would never tell anyone, and would always hide the fact that it affected her. Not that she was ashamed of her parentage, but she could not possibly have chosen which family she would be born into. Blood statuses were just… unfair. She hated him for making her feel that way.
But as much as she hated him, she found him intriguing. Sure, he was a git, but surely there was some good in him? After all, he had spared Professor Dumbledore at the tower. According to Harry, he had even been crying! Yet, he was the same boy that insulted and taunted everyone, and called her a mudblood.
Draco Malfoy was an enigma. She hated him, but she would figure him out. She would make sure of that.
