There once was a girl who fell in love with the one person she was supposed to hate. Deep down she never really hated him, she only pitied him. His life had been terrible. While she had loving and caring parents he had abusive ones. She was always bright and cheery, while he was dark and cold. He had a barrier around his heart that couldn't be broken.

But this cheerful girl who'd had her heart broken many times seemed to be able to melt the ice wall around his heart. He tried everything he could to stop her from breaking the barrier but there was nothing he could do. She seemed unfazed by the way he insulted her and acted towards her. She would still smile and be polite. When she smiled at him her eyes twinkled with love. As much as he denied it her smile brightened his day.

They were complete opposites. She was light and he was dark. She loved books, while he loved fights. He enjoyed the rush, while she enjoyed the simple life. His blood was as pure as water, while hers was tainted. She was a good girl and he was a bad boy. Even though they were completely different she loved him against all odds. She knew that they wouldn't and couldn't ever be together.

As the year before the war progressed he too fell in love. They at that point had a truce. They were no longer enemies but they weren't friends either. This truce brought them closer than they expected. The truce was then changed into friendship. This friendship grew into love stronger than they imagined. They then confessed their feelings. At the end of the year they both knew of the coming war. He was a spy for the light side. He posed as a warrior for the dark side when he really was working for the light side. She had always been on the light side. They vowed to go their separate ways and to forget about each other. The girl then said, "We both have different paths. You have your destiny and I have mine. But if these paths are intertwined in some way let us meet again after this war has ended."

He nodded slowly knowing that would probably never happen. The war lasted their entire seventh year. Dumbledore passed everyone even though they never were at Hogwarts. He believed that they all learned more from the war than they would have there. Harry Potter was then known as the Man Who Defeated Voldemort twice. The boy and girl went on after the war thinking they would never see each other again. Secretly they both wished to see each other one more time. The boy and girl were none other than Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger.
