Looking out the window I saw a figure jumping into the pond. Being the middle of winter I got scared thinking something bad was happening. People aren't supposed to be out this late. It is past hours, I am only awake because I was studying in the library. I should go check to see who that person is. I don't want anyone getting hurt.
It is cold outside, why would some be out here? I walked outside and over to the pond. I looked down and didn't see anything. No one was there.
Maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me again. It is pretty late. I turned to leave and ran into something big. I tried pushing it but it spoke to me.
"What the hell Granger" The tree said to me.
"I really must be tired that tree just spoke to me" Wait that tree sounded like…
"MALFOY! What are you doing out here" I was scared and getting angry on why Head Boy was out here in the middle of winter.
"I could ask you the same thing mudblood. Though I don't want to know why you're following me." He said smirking.
He could tell I was uncomfortable with this placement. Me, cold, scared, and open to hurtful words. He stood there waiting for an answer but I couldn't give one. Tell him I thought someone was getting hurt and I came to save them. He would surely laugh at me.
"I was half asleep and needed some fresh air. Why are you out here? You should be in your bed!" I said poking him in his chest.
"I was asleep but then I wanted to go for a swim. And don't ever touch me again you filthy little mudblood."
He knew those words hurt. I still saw something good in him and hoped that someday he would see something good in him. I thought he would change over the years but it seems he just gets worse. Rumors say he is taking the Dark Mark. I know though that somewhere he is good and that maybe some friendliness will bring it out.
"Well I am going to bed, care to join me to our rooms" I was only being nice.
He stood there shocked that I would ask that and then joined me and started walking with me. He really had changed. He was much taller now; he had decided to not slick his hair back. It looked better loose and dangly. The thing that bothered me about his appearance was the fact that his eyes were so dead. You looked in them and there was never emotion. Even when he is mad, there is nothing. I wonder if he noticed that I changed. Why do you care, it's just Malfoy.
I had changed though. My body wasn't so odd looking now. I had grown up. I have curves and they fit my height and weight. My hair was still bushy, but I learned to tame it and so during the day it lays flat and curly at the ends. I learned to apply makeup. I wear mascara and eyeliner just shows off my chocolate brown eyes.
We had made to our rooms without fighting and in silence. Maybe he won't say anything and we can forget it all together. Then all of a sudden I was against a wall. Confused I looked around and saw that Malfoy had pushed me and was holding me there.
"I loath you Granger, and one day I will kill you" He looked at me and pushed me to the ground and went to bed.
What the hell was that about? Maybe he thinks I saw something I didn't. Looking at him walk away from me made me think that all he needs is a little niceness in his life and maybe he will one day love. My new goal this year: Make Malfoy have happiness!
