There was only a week left of summer. After that, Hermione would be starting her sixth year at Hogwarts. She wasn't sure whether she should be happy or scared - she wanted to see her friends again, but a certain someone else was on her mind.

"Dear diary,

It's nearly midnight and I can't fall asleep... again. And I fear my feelings for him are getting stronger. Draco just gets to me. I don't know what's wrong with me... he's cruel, ruthless, and not to mention a Death Eater. But he tempts me in ways I can't describe. Almost like I'm... under a spell.

Wait... no. That's rubbish. Let's face it, I adore him, and that's my own fault. Ever since I saw him last he's been in my head. There's just something about him.

But... should I tell him? He already hates me, so it's not like it would change anything, really. But if I told him, Harry and Ron would find out and they'd never speak to me again. Oh, what am I to do? What if I'm in lo-"

She couldn't even finish the last sentence before drifting off into a deep sleep, dreaming about him.

Five days past and school started in two days. She had been so busy thinking about Draco all summer that she completely forgot she had to get her school supplies. That's when she decided she needed to get to Diagon Alley as soon as possible to pick up her things. She said goodbye to her parents and used some floo powder Ron gave to her before school ended to teleport herself into Diagon Alley.

She landed with a THUMP inside Pottidge's Cauldron Shop. She got up, brushed herself off, and thought to herself "Alright, I'm here now. Hopefully I won't see Harry or Ron... I'd love to see them if I wasn't so worried about letting my love for Draco slip out."

She sighed, walked out of Pottidge's Cauldron Shop, and began walking towards Slug and Jiggers Apothecary to pick up some potion ingredients for Professor Slughorn's class. After about five minutes of walking, trying to be as inconspicuous as she could, she was at the entrance. She walked inside. It smelled of rotten cabbage and toads. Silver unicorn horns were on the list of things she needed, and so she walked toward them, hoping she could get them quickly and be on her way.

"Well, if it isn't the filthy little Mudblood."

Draco peeked out from the corner and Hemione dropped her potion ingredients in shock. She was secretly happy to see Draco, but didn't want anything to slip out.
Draco smirked at Hermione for a moment before saying "Where are your rotten little friends, Potter and Weasley? Rummaging through the garbage for a pound Weasley dropped in there, I suppose."

Crabbe and Goyle came from behind him and they all let out booming laughter.

Hermione managed to turn her shock into rage, much to her dismay.

"SHUT IT, Malfoy."

It was extremely difficult for her not to completely dump out all her feelings for him, for what she really wanted to do was just embrace him.

"Ooh, I'm so scared," moaned Draco, sarcastically. He and his minions then left the shop yelling, "A mudblood is threatening me! Oh, please, someone help me. HAHAHAHAHA!"

Hermione grabbed the silver unicorn horns and left as quickly as she could, tears falling from her cheeks.

"W-w-why can't I tell him..." she sobbed.

She was still crying as she was walking towards Flourish & Blotts to pick up some books she needed. She didn't care about all the dirty looks she got when she walked inside, she just wanted to disappear from the whole world.
