"You have no idea what I've been through!" I screamed at him and tears started to fall down my cheeks.
"What could have happened in your life that is so big?" Malfoy drawled and my patience snapped.
"Well, if you really need to know I'll tell you. First year I fought a troll with Harry and Ron, second year I got paralyzed by a basilisk because of what I am, in third year I used a time turner to help Sirius Black from the Dementors kiss and in forth year I helped Harry in the Tri-wizard tournament and was helpless in the water because of Krum's crush on me and in fifth year I fought Death Eaters in the Department of Mystery and created Dumbledore's Army and when I was supposed to be here at Hogwarts for my seventh year I went out with Ron and Harry to find Horcruxes and get tortured by your aunt and then fought Death Eaters again to win a battle between good and bad and I had to get my parent's memory redone and send them to Australia so that they wouldn't get hurt, and still they did, killed by your fucking father!
"You tell me, is that anything that matters?" I screamed in his face and then I fell on the floor sobbing. "I don't know why I keep on. I almost lost Harry and Ron. Ron lost his brother, Teddy lost his parent's. Everyone just keeps dying. What's the point? Why not die now, and let everyone have their grief now so that they can keep up their lives in the future."
"You have actually gone through all that?" Malfoy whispered and I looked up.
"Well, not that it matters to you. I'm just a filthy little Mudblood know-it-all bookworm. You know why I keep on studying like hell? Because of people like you. Who don't think I belong here, and I have to prove to you that I do. That I am smart enough, good enough.
"I belong, because I have nowhere else to go. I've always been an outsider, in the Muggle world and here. If I wouldn't belong here, then I wouldn't have anywhere to go. I could go and die and no one would care." I whispered and buried my head in my hands. "I have nowhere else to go.
"And no one has enough patience to hear my thoughts, but I need to get it out. Harry and Ron are celebrating the victory but I can't do that, knowing so many sacrificed their lives for us." I said and looked up at Malfoy.
Then he did the most surprising thing. He kissed me, a kiss filled with passion and love which left me gasping for air when he broke it.
"You've always been good enough; I've only been too much of a coward to ever admit it. Ever since I first saw you at the train I have liked you, and as the years passed, my crush turned into a full blown love, but then I had already screwed everything up." Malfoy whispered to me and I stared at him with, shock apparent in my eyes, and I couldn't form a word as he left the room and I stared at the spot he stood on a few seconds ago. Malfoy loves… Me?
