East of Sun, West of Moon

A Harry Potter version of Twilight

AU after 5th year.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. I don't own Twilight. All I own is a ton of books.

A/N: I had this idea in my head after I ended up staying up all night reading Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. After agonizing about it for two weeks I decided to make AU after 4th year. I know it's a cop out, but hopefully the action in the story will make you forgive me.

Chapter 1

-

Didn't We Learn About the Goblin Revolutions Already?

In Which Draco is Frustrated and Hermione is Confused

-

"Draco you're staring again. You do know that if you still haven't heard her by now you probably won't. Just let it go."

Draco Malfoy looked away from the object of his curiosity to give his best friend an annoyed look. Sitting in History of Magic, only half paying attention to Professor Binns drone on; Draco had indeed been staring again.

"I know that Blaise, but still it bothers me. Doesn't it bother you any? That you can't feel her?"

Blaise snorted. His dark amber eyes filled with amusement. "Not really, I can't feel Little Red either; I honestly don't care. They're different, accept it and move on."

"How can you say that," His silver-gray eyes showed his frustration. "Accept and move on? They're human Blaise, just like everyone else. We should be able to use our abilities on them."

"Maybe they aren't human, you ever think of that."

Both turned slightly to look behind them at Pansy who was staring out the window, boredom evident in her sky blue eyes, twirling some of her long blonde hair in her fingers absentmindedly.

"Not human, of course they're human."

"They certainly smell human enough," Blaise laughed quietly. "I bet they taste human enough too."

Draco frowned at his friend.



"Blaise..."

"I'm just joking, Dray. Relax. I know the rules and even if, I bet they wouldn't taste very good."

"A mudblood and a dirt poor muggle lover," Pansy smirked. "Definitely wouldn't taste good."

"Now now Pansy, don't be cruel. Draco doesn't like you insulting his obsession."

Draco glared at Blaise.

"Are you annoying on purpose or is that just one more ability you have that you've forgotten to tell us about?"

Blaise grinned. "I guess it's on purpose. The only the ability I have is still just empath."

Pansy rolled her eyes.

"I still wonder though why you two can't sense them. It is kind of weird."

Blaise just shrugged. Draco sighed and returned to staring at one of the few humans whose thoughts weren't clear to him; wishing that he could see inside her head. It wasn't that he really wanted to know what she was thinking. Knowing Granger even a little bit, it was probably about schoolwork or her friends. Most likely it was schoolwork though. No, he really didn't actually care what she was thinking. It just bothered him that he couldn't see whatever it was she was thinking.

Hermione

-

Hermione tried her hardest to concentrate on the lecture Professor Binns was giving. Even though Goblin Rebellions weren't the most captivating subject ever, it was still interesting.

But Hermione couldn't keep her concentration on the Arem the Goblin's rise to power. She was distracted by the constant stare that Draco Malfoy was giving her. Even if she didn't look his way she could tell that he was staring at her; like he always seemed to be staring at her nowadays.

It wasn't the stare that bothered Hermione. Well actually it did bother her; it just wasn't what bothered her the most. What bothered Hermione the most was that she couldn't figure out the reason as to why Malfoy would want to stare at her.

As far as she knew she hadn't done anything to him to earn the aggravated look he sometimes wore when looking her way. Harry and Ron hadn't done anything to Malfoy either, or at least anything they confessed to. Hermione believed them though; after all it was usually Malfoy who instigated their fights anyway.

Well, used to instigate. After Harry had defeated Voldemort back in 5th year, most of the Slytherins started acting at least partially decent towards the rest of the student body. Apparently they had a change of heart. And even though it had taken almost two years, every seemed to get along, more or less.

Then there were the curious glances he shot at her from time to time as if he was perplexed about something about her. Hermione didn't understand it; except for her normal exceptional grades Hermione hadn't done anything really special or anything different from usual.

Hermione ran a hand through her bushy brown hair, aggravated. Shaking her head she tried to push Malfoy out of her mind.
