He had often watched her across the great hall at meal times, always watching... and wanting what he saw. The all acclaimed Gryffindor princess, the girlfriend of Potter, who all the teachers loved, well most of them any ways.

They were both prefects, but they never spoke, he had always admired her, watched her, wanted to be the one who held her. But no, she was Potters, everyone knew that, and they seemed happy together, well from his perspective he saw that at least Potter was happy, But she on the other hand seemed a bit distant.

He was sure of course that he was the only one who had noticed, but it didn't matter, he shouldn't even care, for it was almost a law amongst his fellow Slytherins that they should never care about anything besides them selves. But he couldn't help it, he still watched her from across the room, slowly falling in love with her without even speaking to her.

It was just his luck that Potter ended up being his partner in potions, he still remembered the day that their potion exploded and he had to spend the weekend in the hospital wing.

Potter had bragged to his friends about how it was done on purpose, when she heard she wasn't impressed, she came by to apologise for her boyfriends behaviour but he pretended to be asleep so she she stayed longer and talked to him, assuming he wasn't awake to listen. Every day he was there she would come to see him at least twice, and each time he still pretended to be asleep, afraid that if she saw him awake that she'd turn away and leave. He did learn a lot about her those three days, and it made him love her even more.

He could currently be seen gazing across the great hall at her, thinking over how he loved her, and how he couldn't t have her. He scowled slightly at the sight of Potter putting his arm around her as they left the great hall for class, but he knew that he was getting worked up for no reason, it was very clear that the "Dream Couple" as some of the elder girls in Hogwarts named them, were going to be together forever, and there was nothing he could do about it.

He knew that she would always be out of his reach, and yet the thought of life with out her...

But he knows he'll have to face it eventually, because there is no chance that they would even be together. She would always be Potter's, and it sickened him.
