Things I Like About You

You know that war we were fighting? Well it's finished, over, done with. Now, before we get to all the celebrating, like the house parties, late night clubbing, Hogwarts discos, we've got to think of our casualties.

Unfortunately, there are quite a lot of them, and there's quite a lot of dead too. Ron's devastated because of Fred, and that's not half of what George is feeling.

The Oh-So-Mighty-Voldie - Shorts lost his battle to a mere seventeen year old, Harry, if you didn't guess and God, wouldn't that have been embarrassing! Luckily, Harry made it back to us in one piece. Well... apart from that piece that belonged to Voldemort, but it's not like we wanted that bit back anyways.

So everything's tip top. Harry and Ginny are now busy making-out secretly behind a wall in Hogwarts somewhere, but you don't want to hear about that... do you?

I thought you'd very much like to know that I nearly got killed in the Battle of Hogwarts. Bella-bloody-trix almost sliced me open with that damned dagger of hers, which if I may add, was incredibly pointy. That bitch!

And no, it was not the knife she threw at Dobby because we never gave that one back, and quite frankly we were all too busy sobbing our eyes out, digging an elf's grave and overall just too fucking pissed off to care. Did I mention Dobby died? Well, he did. God bless his little, maybe slightly odd, but good minded soul.

The only reason I didn't die, was because somebody saved me. They intercepted the throw and took the knife for me.

Okay, I know what you're thinking 'I bet it was Ron! He loves you so much! He'd so do a sweet thing like that! He's such a babe!' But no, it wasn't him.

I'll tell you who it was, it was Draco fricking Malfoy, that's who it was. Alright, I admit it, when I put it like that, it looks as though I'm not grateful. Which I am! I'm just surprised it was him, is all.

Why would a person like him, doing something like that for a person like me? Eh? Speechless? That's what I thought.

Luckily just when he jumped in front of me and took the knife, Bellatrix was so taken back, I had a millisecond to jump in and Avada her to next year! Take that you sadistic wrench! Hermione 1, Bitchy-trix 0. Oh yeah baby!

I managed to get Draco to the hospital wing before he lost too much blood, so don't worry you little hearts out, he's fine and will live.

Right now, I'm sitting by a bed in the hospital wing, Draco's, to be precise. He's sleeping after Pomfry had fixed up his wound and cast an anesthetic spell on him. She'd said he'd have wanted me to sit by him, but I doubt that.

I bet that saving me was just a fluke, a mis-doing.

Or maybe it's because he actually does like you.

What the hell! Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my head!

And they call you the Smartest Witch of this century!

What's that supposed to mean!

I'm your subconscious. Dur.

God! Where have you been my whole life! And by the way, cut the attitude! And no, he wouldn't love me, it would be like Ginny liking...Crabbe.

Who said anything about love? And... ew.

Precisely.

Anyway... where was I before I got rudely interrupted...

Technically you interrupted yourself...

Who asked you!

Oh yes. I remember. Just looking at Malfoy, I can't seem to see him as that arrogant git that I always knew him as.

Maybe he isn't like that... doubt it. I can't help admitting that he looks quite cute when he's sleeping, all peaceful and that. Now that I think about it, he's not actually that bad looking...

What the hell am I saying! STOP. THAT. RIGHT. NOW!

Yeah, but the more you think about it, the more you know it's true.

Pack it in!

Malfoy's starting to stirr... what should I do? Crap. I'll run! No, I'll probably just end up bumping into Harry and Ginny in the corridor, there are somethings a girl ain't wanna see, and that is one of them.

Hide?... Where?

Oh my god! He's waking! Damn!

I put my hands over my face and hope for the best...

If I can't see him... he can't see me...

That's what you think!

Merlin's bra! Bloody bugger off already!

Fine. But I'll hate to say I told you so.
