Chapter one:
He hadn't realize that he'd been staring at Gryffindor table for the second time that day until Blaise shoved his shoulder. Of all Draco's friends, Theo, Blaise, and Pansy were the only to return after the great war. Well, it wasn't great at all but, at least good won in the end. His father had been sent to Azkaban and his mother was released of all charges and was sent to live in a apartment. Malfoy Manor had been taken by the Ministry for inspection. Apparently, there had been a dungeon that Draco didn't even know about.
"I think staring at the Gryffindor table is your favorite hobby now." Said Blaise, who had just interrupted his thoughts.
"Shut it Zabini." Muttered Draco.
"Really? Took me bloody years to get you to start saying my first name and now I'm back to Zabini again? Come on Draco, I thought we were buds." whined Blaise, who was starting to get on Draco's nerves already.
"Ok fine, shut it Blaise." Said Draco. He glanced at the Gryffindor table to see a few of them looking at him. Weaselette laughed at something Granger said as she turned back to eat her food.
"You should really just go walk to them. Its easier than just staring all the time." Mumbled Blaise from next to him. Draco growled slightly.
"Fine." He muttered before standing up. "I'll wait for them outside the doors."
"Wait, your actually going to do it?" Asked a surprised and frightened Blaise.
"Why bloody not?" Groaned Draco. Blaise actually looked to be lost in thought for a moment before catching up and grabbing Draco's arm.
"You cant take all of them at once, try getting along with one of them at once." Advised Blaise. Draco stood outside the great hall, he could hear the Gryffindors approaching. He had little time to make a decision.
"Who would I go to first?" Asked Draco quickly.
"Who is the easiest to convince that I'm not," He paused. "The same person I used to be?" He finished.
"Well, I know your after the Gryffindors trust but, you can go for Loony Lovegood." Suggested Blaise. Draco shrugged.
"First off, we have to stop calling her that I guess. Spring break is coming up, I'll see if I can start worming my way in then." Muttered Draco.
"Why?" Asked Pansy, who had just exited the great hall with Theo by her side.
"I thought we seriously made a pact that we would always call her Loony Lovegood?" Asked Theo.
"Draco's going to try and get along with the Gryffindors, and their friends." Shrugged Blaise. Draco remained silent and held a cold sneer as they all looked at him with their 'what in the bloody world are you thinking?' look. Draco opened his mouth to answer but nothing came out, he didn't have a special reason why, not that he knew of at least.
"Lets let him be a git by himself." Said Theo. Draco smirked and nodded to Theo slightly, he had just saved him from a very long conversation. Theo dragged Blaise along behind him, knowing that dragging Pansy wasn't a good idea.
"Be careful Drakey. Those Gryffins aren't safe." Said Pansy before she skipped off to join the others.
"Well why do you think that he's always staring at our table?" Draco heard Weaselette's voice from behind him. He turned on his heel to see Granger and the Weasels sister standing at the base of the door, almost out of his view.
"I don't know, and I don't care." Said Granger's voice.
"Sure didn't seem that way when he caught you already looking at him." Giggled Weaselette.
"Hush! It doesn't matter. I was glancing at his table to see if Pansy as still glaring at me." Mumbled Granger.
"Pansy was sitting on the other side of the table, as in, he was close to the door and she was close to the teachers table." Teased Weaselette. Granger started to walk more into view, with the ginger on her heels. Granger paused and turned back to Weaselette for a split moment.
"And what if I was glancing at Malfoy? What does it matter?" Asked Granger before she turned to look at the stairs to the left of the great hall doors, he was safely hidden behind the turn at the top of the stairs. He noticed she was pink, only slightly, but still pink.
"It doesn't, probably just making sure he wasn't being a bad boy again, correct?" Teased Weaselette. Granger was walking while listening and didn't notice the teasing tone.
"Correct." Answered Granger. She disappear from view, along with Weaselette.
"Oh this is too good to be true." Said Draco. He smirked and shook his head. "Granger has a Crush."
