Draco's Flashback:
I was just standing there smirking at the scene that was happening before me. Everyone had happy faces and they had admiring eyes looking at their dates. Everyone was dancing and having fun, there was the tinkling of laughter from some girls while their dates told some pretty lame jokes. I turn to Crab and Goyle and laugh commenting on how boring this was. They laughed along, I hated when they did that.
I didn't even want to come to this stupid ball in the first place but it was mandatory to come. I didn't even feel like asking a girl to come because I knew I would ruin this one chance for her. I start looking around the room again and spot that bloody Harry Potter and his sidekick Ron Weasley. Oh how I hated them. Potter thought he was all that for being "the boy who lived." I spat in disgust at the sight of them. The filthy lot of them should just go away. As I was about to tell something to Goyle I noticed that their little nerd wasn't with them. Instead were the Patil twins. They were laughing and smiling, having a good time. I was about to barf at the sight of that. All of a sudden there was a gasp from the crowd of people as this girl walked in. I started walking away from my posse to see who it was when Crab grabbed my wrist.
"Where are ya goin' Draco?" Crab asked, looking very confused.
I snatched my wrist away from his not so tight grasp and answered blatantly, "To see what the hubbub is about, you idiot!" and strode off. As I got nearer I was taken aback. There she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, walking in as though she was oblivious that people were staring. She didn't even look my way but walked right over to that bloody Potter kid. I walked nearer and nearer trying to see who this mysterious beauty was. She had this elegant pink gown on, her brown curly hair looking like a sea of silk, her smile as wide as the moon and as bright as well, her brown eyes twinkling like stars, and her laugh was like music to my ears. She was gorgeous, but then it hit me. It was that filthy mud blood Granger. I sneered and retreated back to my posse about to tell them that Granger had just flew in to crash the party. All the while my stomach was filled with butterflies; I did not know what was going on so I left to the boys' lavatory. On my way there I bumped into someone.
I look up to see Granger's face three inches away from mine. I push her and yell, "Watch where ya going Granger! If you know what's good for you, you woulda moved." I scowled and kept walking even though my stomach was telling me to turn around and apologize. Granger didn't disserve that, Granger wasn't the one not paying attention; it was me because I was looking down too concentrated on the feeling in my gut. What was going on with me!
When I got in the lavatory I clenched onto a sink looking into the mirror. Staring miserably and angrily at my reflection, my slicked back blonde hair was starting to fall in my face, about to cover my grey eyes that my mother said looked like a rainy day's sky, but I could swear there are hints of ice blue in them. My pale skin was whiter than my hair and a thin line made up my lips but when I smile, which was rarely, they became full and were just as pale. And my nose looked crooked from being hit multiple times from not doing the right thing. As I stood there looking at my reflection I became disgusted with myself. Hermione doesn't deserve a guy like me. I'm too ugly for her, she's gorgeous and deserves someone better, someone that'll care for her. And that wasn't me. I turned away from the mirror and spat out the disgust I was feeling.
After a good five minutes I leave the lavatory and go back to the stupid ball. That's when I ran into her again. Now's your chance Draco, apologize! Don't you see the hurt in her eyes! She needs someone to look and care after her, and that could be you! Just be nice for once! These odd thoughts ran through his mind as Granger stared at him. "S-s-sorry Granger… didn't see you there." I mumbled and look down. I looked back up to see her smirking at me.
"Oh the Great Draco is apologizing to me," she pointed to herself, sarcasm in her voice, "I would have never thought I would live to see the day!" She faked a gasp and stumbled back then started to speak again after this little show. "Why would you be apologizing to me now? You're always mean to me. Remember? We're enemies." She air quoted the word enemies, stared at me for a response then stalked off when I didn't respond. I just stood there mouth agape then shook myself and returned to my posse to tell a false story about Granger that was rolling around in my head just to show the hate she just threw on me.
