I do not own Harry Potter. if only i did...

To love is simply not enough

To love is simply not enough. In most circumstances, love is not returned. Unrequited love is simply the worst of all evils. It is what drives many to drastic measures that otherwise would be considered ruthless and incomprehensible.

"I love her." I admitted to myself as I lay in my bed before my stupid room mates woke. That's about all there was to it. I was completely in love and she despised me more than any other. The hatred that she had for me was unrealistic. All based on a run in with her stupid best friends. The first time I saw her, I remember wondering how in the world she fell in with them. Stupid Potter and Weasley.

Their view of me has dirtied her view. Just because I'm a Malfoy. The fact that I'm unconditionally and irrevocably in love with her is minute compared to their hatred. If only she could see me for who I am. For the man who would do anything for her. Anything to win her heart. But stupid Ron has her heart, and he doesn't even know it! How stupid can that prat be?! He doesn't even realize that she is head over heals for him! Everyone knows. Just like everyone knows that Potter is completely into Ginny. If only there was some way that I could get her away from them… Away from all of those filthy blood traders. Show her that I'm not like my father. That I'm not serving my father's Lord. That I'm on her side. If only…

"what are you doing Malfoy?"

"nothing Crabbe. Just sitting here."

Lost in thought of my love, I failed to realize that all of my room mates had left for breakfast. "Great" "I'm ganna be late for class. Damn"

Grabing my stuff and running down the halls toward DADA I ran into something solid. "Oi!! Oh its you. I was hoping you weren't coming to class."

"no such luck Weasley, just late."

(((())))

"Hey Harry"

"yea Ron, whats up?"

"I ran into Malfoy in the hall."

"Damn, I thought he wasn't ganna show"

"yea, that's what I said, but he was completely civil. He didn't say anything crappy to me."

"really? Maby he got hit in the head by his stupid friends, you know how they'll do anything for food"

"SHHHHH!"

"Oi Hermione, were just talking"

"Shut up Ron! I can't hear what Malfoy is saying to Snape."

"Just because he knows a definition that you don't doesn't mean that he is any less of a slim ball than before!!"

"Hey! Will you two shut up! Snape is going to kill us if were talking. I'v already got detention until I die. So much for being the chosen one."

(((())))

"I'v got to tell her"… But how. How can I tell someone who is supposed to be my enemy that I'm in love with her? That's not something that happens every day. Hell what would my parents say when I brought her home? I'm not sure which one of us they would curse first.

"Hello? Earth to Malfoy?"

"oh, hi Ginny. Whats up?"

"um, not much. Look, I noticed that you weren't really paying attention and all I can say is just tell her."

"Wha wha what?"

"you know what I'm talking about. The fact that you are completely in love with Hermione."

"HOW DID YOU FIND OUT!?"

"Look, no one else knows, I just noticed you looking at her. I am her best girl friend after all."

"… So you say just tell her?"

"yes, just tell her how you feel. She isn't as much of a prat as my brother. Even Harry might support yall, after a few years"

"haha, I suppose it might take a while."

"yea, just alittle while."

"well ok, I'll try. If only I could get harry and ron away from her for alittle while."

"… we have practice tonight, both of them are on the team. Just catch her before she gets to the field…"

(((())))

"Hey Hermione!"

"oh, hey Malfoy."

"ummmm, can I talk to you for a second? Um alone."

"oh um, ok sure. Whats up?"

"Well… I talked to Ginny, and um she told me just to come right out and say it, I love you.

Hermione? Did you hear me?"

Before he could even think as to what to do next, her actions completely surprised him. She walked up to him and kissed me. Not a normal kiss, but a kiss that had been waiting to be had for years. A kiss so intimate that he could have sworn her heart a minister saying 'you may kiss the bride'.

Tell me what you guys think!! this is my first story so i'm sorry if its kinda stupid )
