The Secret Love.

Chapter one - His secret love.

From the very first moment I saw you That's when I knew All the dreams I held in my heart Had suddenly come true Knock me over stone cold sober Not a thing I could say or do 'Cos baby when I'm walking with you now My eyes are so wide Like you reached right into my head And turned on the light inside Turning on the light Inside my mind hey - Lyrics From David Gray Be mine.

From the moment he saw her he knew. He saw her on the school train large brown eyes, bushy hair of the same colour and skin that looked so soft he had longed for the six years ahead to touch it. But at the time he hadn't known who or what she was. It was too late by the time he found out though his feelings had taken control but he knew he'd have to cover it up. His father had high standards about wizards and witches and what they should be. In Draco malfoy's opinion these standards were completely wrong the fact that he was a death eater frightened Draco to the very core. Not that he could show this though he had to live up to his Fathers expectations.

You see the girl he desired and loved so much was a muggle born or in his fathers terms a mudblood. He hated the term even though he called her this in front of his so-called friends and when he had to insult her to hide his true feelings. He would have given anything to be part of her life he even envied her friends and wished he could be along them. But he knew before Hogwarts sorting hat even touched his head where he was destined to be.

He had even tried to befriend the famous Harry Potter when they started at Hogwarts but even this was on his Fathers terms 'Get close to the boy may be useful for us one day' Draco's Father had said to him. But he had made a mistake there he had begun to insult a boy who Potter had already acquainted this was also something to do with his father and the dislike towards the family of the particular boy. Harry hadn't liked this and refused to be shake his hand. If he had been nice to Weasley then they may have all been friends now. He could have been with the girl he needed so much.

He had though now taken a great dislike to Ron Weasley. He could tell that he wanted her and was not sure if she felt the same. They were always together Laughing. It made him so jealous and so very angry to see this. He wanted her and he usually got whatever he wanted and he knew that she was forbidden. Hermione granger was his secret love. His forbidden fruit.

The fact that she was the only thing forbidden to him that he wanted most made his love and longing stronger than anyone could have imagined. His heart beat so fast when he saw her he thought it would explode and when she wasn't around it ached so badly he didn't know what to do with himself sometimes he actually thought he may be ill. And then there was when he insulted her he had to do it she was Potter's and Weasley's friend. He felt The worst in these times when the tears fell to her face. He wanted to hold her, comfort her and tell him it was all a front that he had always loved her and always would. But she would just think it a cruel joke or even laugh in his face.

What made it worse was that he had received the Head Boy badge over the summer. Most people would be proud of this his parents certainly were impressed even though they had expected it. But he had dreaded the day. He knew how smart the beautiful girl he loved was. He knew she would get the Head Girl badge and most people would want to get closer to the person they loved which, would have to happen but he knew this would only mean putting on more falsehoods and being horrible towards the girl he least wanted to be mean towards.

The cabin door of the train being knocked brought him out of his thoughts. He knew what was coming. The she walked in. he put on his act and sneered at her. 'Hi Malfoy' 'Granger' he said coldly. 'You know we have got to work together now so lets at least try to be a little civil.' She replied though she looked very unhappy about this. 'Just keep out of my way as much as possible and I will keep out of yours' he said. 'Sounds great with me' She replied with such dislike in her eyes it made Draco's heart stab with agonising pain.
