Pairing - Dramione

(Hermione's P.O.V)

Not that I really cared about what Malfoy thought about me but, I guess it did hurt - you know - being referred to as a mudblood. My blood ran cold as I heard the insults constantly drip from his lips. Its not like I cared for him though, so why did it bother me?

It had never bothered me before, I never cared about what anyone thought, I guess I didn't really have the time to care though, especially due to the fact that Voldemort was still breathing, still alive. But, that's no longer the cast, he's long gone now - much like many of our beloved family and friends.

The war had been over for months now, but, I guess no one will really ever get over it. The war took its toll on all of us, excluding no one. So, I suppose its reasonable for him to of never really growing out of the 'Mudblood stage', as I like to call it. But still, it cant be excused, the term should never have been used in the first place - it makes me sick. He makes me sick.

So why cant I stop thinking about him? What is it that draws my attention to him like a moth drawn to a flame? I don't know, and, I'm sure I never will.

Maybe it's all just apart of the madness that comes with the territory when you are one of the members of 'The Golden Trio'. I never did understand why we were called that, but, it seems people need someone to dump their faith onto, and we were just strong enough - smart enough - for people to believe in us, that we could help lead them to victory. And that, I can tell you now, we did.

It still doesn't explain my sudden fondness towards the blonde haired, blue eyed slytherin. I was a hero, he was a villain, it would never be anything more than that. But, with every hero that needs to rescue someone, there's always someone in which needs to be rescued. So, I suppose that explains why I feel the way I do, why I think of him so much in such a short period of time.

He needs saving - saving from himself, and I may be the only one who can do it.
