A/N: hey everyone, this is my first Harry potter fanfic. I used to hate hp but after watching it, boy did I love it or what.

So I decided to write a fanfic abt it. It's Draco and Hermione (I ship them)!

It's only a one-shot. Read to find out…

Hermione's POV

I was crying. When did I not? Every night, when no one was watching, I used to cry under my bed covers. I used to cry until my eyes got all puffy and my nose got stuffy. And why did I cry?

One name; Draco Malfoy.

I know what you're thinking. How can one boy make my life hell?

Well, he pretty much can.

Yes, he calls me a mud blood everyday.

Yes, he makes fun of me and my friends.

Yes, his father is a death eater.

But no, none of this is the reason why I used to cry. And it isn't that I cried because of him, I cry for him.

And I cry for him because I know him. Better than anyone does. That's weird because we are not friends. Not even close to friends. No, we are enemies.

But it doesn't change the fact that I can see through him. It doesn't change that I understand him, more than his own mother would, surely. Because if his mother understood him, she would never force hell upon him.

Draco Malfoy, despite the cruelty he shows, is a gentle and kind boy. I know that because I have seen him cry. Cry for having to kill Dumbledore. I am darn sure that no one cries for having to kill their enemy. But he did.

I also see the look in his eyes. That haunted, lonely look. He might show that he is mean, but in reality, he is just a boy who wants affection. He wants friends.

Draco's POV

I was crying. Again. When did I not?

Every second of my life, I was suspended in guilt, sorrow, sadness. I was a death eater. Why? Why did life do this to me?

I didn't want to support Voldemort.

I didn't want to fight Harry potter.

I didn't want to fight the weasleys.

But most of all, I didn't want to fight Hermione granger.

I called her a mudblood, a filthy mud blood. Oh God, why?

Why am I cursed? Maybe if I wasn't a Malfoy, Hermione and I could have been friends. We would have done spells together, we would have studied together. We would have made fun of snape together.

If only I wasn't a Malfoy…..

I want to be normal so bad. Hell, I want to be a muggle. I don't care what anyone says, I just want to be a normal teenage boy who doesn't have to listen to his selfish father and mother.
