Looking across the Great Hall, Professor Hermione Granger, the Charms Mistress, waited to see who the new Potions master that the Headmistress, Minerva McGonagall, had selected to join the staff this year. Just then the one person she didn't want to see walks in through the entrance doors. After a year of avoiding him, here he is again. She was shocked to see how much she missed him, after all she was the one that ended their relationship.

Seems like just yesterday You were a part of me I used to stand so tall I used to be so strong

Oh god, it was defiantly him, and he seemed to have realised that she was there at the exact same moment. Draco Malfoy had a look of absolute shock evident on his face. At one point in time they were inseparable, just after the war. When Hermione was about to loss her mind at the loss of her best friend, boyfriend and parents, he was the only thing that kept her sane.

Your arms around me tight Everything, it felt so right Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong Now I can't breathe No, I can't sleep I'm barely hanging on

Only one thought struck her, I'll be strong and I most certainly will not let him see me cry.

Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces Can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes

Draco sat down in his allocated seat, which happened to be right next to Hermione. Unknown to them, they both started to think back to when they were together, how they had trusted one another inexplicably, how they had to fake a life of happiness, to stop their friends from knowing that they were heart-broken.

I told you everything Opened up and let you in You made me feel alright For once in my life Now all that's left of me Is what I pretend to be So together, but so broken up inside

They both continued to sit in silence whilst the students started to file into the Great Hall ready for the sorting ceremony to begin so they could all start to eat.

Cause I can't breathe No, I can't sleep I'm barely hangin' on

Neither could stand sitting so close to the other whilst being so far away, it was slowly killing them, the tension between two past-lovers, two ex-fiancИes.

Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces Can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes

If only Draco had stayed faithful to Hermione and not have been tempted by Pansy Parkinson, none of this would have happened. They would have still been together and would have remained so till the end of their days. For this Hermione felt guilty, like she wasn't good enough for Draco, like she wasn't enough.

Swallow me then spit me out For hating you, I blame myself Seeing you it kills me now No, I don't cry on the outside Anymore...

The sorting and feast was completed but neither seemed to realise, in-fact they didn't even leave the table when everyone else did, they just remained there, still as statues, waiting for the other to say something.

Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces Can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes

Hermione moved to stand up, no she would not tell him her feelings at least not yet anyway. 'Goodnight Professor' she said as she moved out of the side entrance, tears flowing down her face.
'Goodnight' Malfoy replied as she turned out of sight, 'I love you'.

Here I am, once again I'm torn into pieces Can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes


Sorry if you don't like it, I couldn't get to sleep last night, so between 12:30 and 12:58am I wrote this.
