Draco had teased Hermione from their first day at Hogwarts, had hated her and even thought he despised her. He hated her frizzy hair, her buck teeth, her annoying know-it-all voice, and, most of all, her muggle-born status. But in their third year he realized something that he never would have thought possible, he actually really liked her. He thought it was just a fluke in his system, he couldn't be one of the diseased ones. His parents would disown him, kick him out, and never speak to him again if it were true.
Draco was at Kings Cross Station with his family. Right before he was supposed to board he decided to ask his parents the real consequences of being in love with a muggle-born. "Father?"
"Yes Draco." Lucius answered as they walked toward the entrance to the train.
"I was just thinking, the family disowned and ostracized Aunt Andromeda because she married a muggle-born, right?"
"Quiet!" he answered. "This is not something we say in public!"
"Because we don't want people to know that we disowned her?"
"Because we don't want people to know that we are related to her." Just as he said this, Lucius pushed Draco onto the train and the doors closed. Draco walked towards the compartment that he and Crabbe and Goyle always shared thinking about the consequences of being with a muggle-born. But I'm not even sure I like her.
A few months later
"You vile, loathsome, evil little cockroach." As she punched him he knew, he definitely liked Hermione.
