CHAPTER 1: EAVESDROPPING
"You have feelings for him! You actually cheated on me!"
"What are you talking about? I cheated? You're the one who was making out in a broom closet with the school slag!"
It was before lunch when Draco Malfoy was walking in an abandoned corridor when he heard two people arguing.
"Do you really think I wouldn't know? Huh? That notebook of yours you were always carrying! I have read it Hermione! You can't deny it anymore! " 'His mercurial eyes staring into the depths of your soul' He mocked.
"You have no right to read that! And I did not cheat on you! If you actually read that, you would see that that entry was from years ago! I stopped writing when the two of us dated!" Hermione argued.
His ears perked up when he realized it was Hermione Granger and the Weasel. He went to a hidden spot so he can listen in.
His mind replayed the scene when the couple broke up two weeks ago. Hermione and Potter (Potter and him are in civil terms now) caught the weasel making out with Lavender Brown in a broom closet. Potter's reaction was very hilarious. He pulled Weasley's ear and started throwing punches at him while yelling profanities. Potter's colourful vocabulary was pretty impressive. The whole corridor was filled with students watching the disturbance. But Draco's attention was directed at Granger that moment. Her expressive eyes were filled with shock, disappointment, and something else, relief. She only managed to say "We are done" then walked away from the scene. He wouldn't have thought Granger wanting to get out of that relationship. The topic of the whole school that day was all about the scandalous cheating and the break up. Almost all of them think that Granger is better off without the cheating Weasel. Similar thoughts were going through his mind. Granger doesn't deserve him.
'Then who deserves her, Draco?' a voice inside his head said. He shrugged it off and listened to what's happening.
"But it doesn't mean you never stopped harbouring feelings for that bugger!" Weasley rebutted.
"I... uh..." Hermione Granger was speechless to that.
Draco was surprised. It is so not like Granger to not have an answer to any accusation. She always has something to say.
"It's true isn't? You're in love with a person who doesn't give a shit about you, someone who treated you horribly for years!" Weasley yelled.
"He already apologized for that, Ron; you were there at the start of the term! I forgave him! Even Harry forgave him! He hasn't even done anything wrong this year!" Hermione answered.
"Of course you would know! You were always watching him!"
Draco became more and more curious by the second, 'Who is this "Him" they are talking about?' He listened intently to the conversation hoping to hear the name of the man who Ron Weasley is referring to.
"And what if I'm watching him? I am just being observant! It's not like I'm the one 'going to practice duelling with harry' when it fact you are with that slag, snogging!" Hermione defended.
"Stop calling her that! I wouldn't have snogged her if I didn't feel like my own girlfriend is going cold towards me!"
"I have been nothing but cold to you! I did everything like a good girlfriend is supposed to do! I have supported you, and I have loved you!"
"But you only loved me as a friend! Like the same way you love Harry." Ron answered sadly.
"I am so sorry Ron, I admit I made mistakes. I truly loved him, Ron. I hope you understand that. I think we both knew this wouldn't work out from the start. Our silly crush with each other is just that. We're better off as friends Ron, nothing more." Hermione said dejectedly.
"You're right, 'Mione. I forgive you." Ron sighed. "I would like to be friends with you again. I miss you and Harry. Harry is a different story though, he packed a mean punch! But I really deserved it though" He said, chuckling. "I'm sorry Hermione. Please forgive me, for all I've done" Ron apologized.
"You're forgiven Ron. I'm glad we had this 'talk'" Hermione replied.
'Well, the Golden Trio's going to be okay now, I guess.' Draco thought. 'Now I can leave.' He turned to the hallway.
"I'm going to apologize to Harry later" He said smiling at Hermione.
"Ron, I know you love Lavender, so don't screw it up" Hermione said.
Draco was just about to leave disappointed not to hear the name of 'Him' when suddenly something Weasley said stopped him in his tracks:
"And Hermione, The ferret is a very lucky guy" Ronald Weasley said, revealing to the eavesdropper the identity of the person Hermione Granger is in love with.
'HOLY SHIT' Draco stood there in an abandoned corridor gobsmacked because of what he just heard.
'There's no other 'ferret' in this school but me!'
'No it can't be. It's impossible.' Draco though, still shocked.
When Hermione and Weasley left, Draco finally came to his senses. Hermione Granger is in love with HIM! Of all people it was HIM! Draco Malfoy himself.
"What did I do to deserve her?" Draco said, voicing out his thoughts.
Draco decided he's going to confirm that information, and if it's true, then he's going to make Hermione Granger his, and he will never let her go.
A/N: Now what? Should I continue? Reviews are verrrry much appreciated! :D
