There are over 100 things that have happened to me, but this is the only major one. It takes place during our fifth year. It was so bizarre that even three years later, I still can't comprehend what or how it happened. Now three years later, I'm ready to tell you. Personally I wish I could tell you to your face (if only to see your reaction), but no one has seen you since graduation last year. You really are the only one I can trust anymore, especially after what happened to me last year. Well let's star with that all too memorable 'Prefect Meeting'.

Flashback

"Ron, will you hurry up?" Hermione asked.

"Sorry Mione, but I can't walk as fast as you; besides the meeting doesn't start for 5 minutes." Ron responded.

"Make that 3 minutes Weasel," Draco sneered.

"How would you know?" Ron shot back.

"Isn't it obvious Ronald? Malfoy is a Slytherin Prefect. God only knows we all knew he would get it!" Hermione said angrily, glaring at the Slytherin.

"For once the mudblood is right Weasel, but I for the life of me, can't figure out how you made prefect." Draco said, walking off before Ron could answer.

"C'mon Ron," Hermione mumbled quickly following Draco to the meeting.

You didn't think I would remember all of that did you? You must be wondering what memory I'm going to write about next. Let me give you a hint, it won't be in fifth year, but in second.

Flashback

"That's not all that's new this year," Draco said to Harry.

"Those are Nimbus 2001s! How did you get those?" Ron asked the Slytherin Quidditch Team.

"A gift from Draco's father," Flint answered with a smirk.

"Cause unlike some Weasley, my father can afford the best," Draco commented.

"Well at least no one on the Gryffindor Team had to buy their way in; they got in on pure talent," Hermione shot back.

"No one asked your opinion, you filth little mudblood," Draco said angrily.

End Flashback

Why did remember that one you may ask? Well I want to let you in on a little secret…I absolutely despise the word 'Mudblood'. It's a really foul name for someone who is Muggle born & it makes you seem uncivilized, which is not true in our case. We both are very civilized. Have you noticed a pattern yet? Well with this next one you might.

Flashback

"Come to join the show?" Draco said laughing.

"You, you foul, loathsome evil little cockroach," Hermione yelled pulling out her wand and sticking it under Draco's chin.

"Hermione no, he's not worth it," Ron said, and Hermione lowered her wand. Draco snickered and Hermione turned around and socked him in the nose.

End Flashback

Oh this is so fun, writing down all of the fun times we've had. Ok so some of them aren't so fun for one of us, but you get the picture. The next one is what really gets me; it's the actual incident that changed my life forever. I know I sound dramatic, but it's true. You really did change me and I thank you for that.

Flashback

"Granger will you slow down" Pansy yelled, as she ran after Hermione, and Hermione stopped dead.

"What do you want Parkinson" Hermione sneered.

"I was wondering if you've seen Draco." Pansy answered.

"No I haven't seen the Ferret anywhere! Why do you want to know?" Hermione said angrily.

"He wasn't in class today, and you have patrolling with him now, so I was just wondering." Pansy answered and walked away. About two minutes later Hermione ran into something hard, well actually not something, it was more like someone. That someone just happened to be Draco Malfoy.

"Hey slow down there Granger, don't want to hurt yourself," Draco said catching her before she hit the ground.

"Why do you care if I hurt myself?" Hermione asked, as a lone tear slid down her face.

"Because then I would be responsible for what happened, after all you did run into me. Wait a minute, why are you crying?" Draco asked, as he pulled her into a hug.

"Harry and Ron," Hermione answered.

"What did those two do now?" Draco asked, as he gently pulled her into the classroom so they could talk privately. He had noticed her acting really weird for the first 3 months of school, and was actually starting to worry about her.

"Well you remember the Yule Ball last year right?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah"
"Well, when Harry and Ron couldn't find a date, Ron implied that the three of us could go together, but alone. Little did they know I already accepted someone else's offer, and wasn't planning on telling them."
"So what does that have to do with right now?" Draco asked quietly, rubbing circles on her back.

"Well they don't have dates for this year, and Ronald just realized that I was a girl that he could possibly go with, and implied that since I couldn't get a date that I should go with him," Hermione said as she rested her head on Draco's shoulder.

"Well if it helps I noticed you were a girl the moment if laid eyes on you," Draco whispered.

"But you've treated me like dirt for 4 years," Hermione pointed out.

"I know, that's what my father wanted me to do, so I did, but then I saw you this year, and I just couldn't say or think one mean thing against you, so I gave up trying to push you away. That is why I asked to have patrolling duties with you, so we could possibly get to know each other better." Draco said.

"Well so far: you've listened to my problems all year, didn't complain even once that you were getting 'mudblood germs' on you, and you've let me cry on your shirt. The only way I can thank you for making this year bearable is by being your friend." Hermione said, giving Draco a hug, which he gladly returned. "Oh and Parkinson is looking for you,"

"Well I don't want her to find me, so could you help me by finishing the patrol with me?" Draco asked.

"Hey what are friends for?" Hermione smiled.

"Ah that's better, your famous smile is back," Draco said.

"Wow, I didn't know my smile was famous, maybe only you should see it from now on," Hermione joked.

"I would be honored" Draco said leading Hermione out of the classroom, and they continued down the corridor to finish their patrol.

End Flashback

I know that was longer then the others but, that is the one that stuck in my mind the most. I've realized that I still haven't told you about my life before our friendship, but that is for another letter, or when we see each other next. I just have one question: where are you Hermione?
