Draco Malfoy watched her from afar, a subtle look of longing on his face. He smiled inwardly as she threw her hair out of her face, each chestnut strand soaking in a billion rays of sun. She did that a lot, toss her hair, giving her a bit of a haughty appearance.

But she wasn't haughty; far from it, in fact, she was one of the nicest people you could ever meet, if you happened to be on her good side, that is, which Draco wasn't.

But she was perfect, in every way, no one could argue it. And because she was, and because Draco could get anything he wanted, he wanted her. Fancy that, Draco Malfoy pining for the one girl at Hogwarts he couldn't have.

Just when he had become such a nancy boy, Draco didn't know. All he knew was that he had to have her.

He took a few steps closer, leaving against a tree while contemplating walking up to her and snogging her on the spot.

She kicked her shoes off, cooling her toes in the waters of the lake from the near-summer heat. He had to do something. In just a few weeks school would be done with, and he would, most likely, never see her again…

Malfoy straightened, fully intending to march down there and declare his undying love for her passionately until…

Until he walked over…pitiful, really…the one thing Weasley had that he wanted. The one thing he'd beaten him to…the one girl that couldn't be won over by money, or bought by his father's threats…

Draco wished for a second that Hermione Granger was just as superficial as the rest, but stopped quickly, for that was what he liked about her the most…

His eyes narrowed instinctively as Weasley wrapped an arm around his secret love and kissed her on the cheek.

Malfoy sighed and started to turn, stealing one more glance at the Gryffindor Goddess. With reluctant feet and a heavy heart, Draco made his way back into the castle and towards the Slytherin Common Room.

I'll have you tonight, love…He vowed silently. And every night, in my dreams…

Whatcha think? Review please, as always. And DON'T ask me if there's going to be a sequel or anything. I have discovered that I can't carry on a story, so I'm making everything a one-shot from now on J!
