Chapter 1: The Boy who started it all
This could have just been another ordinary and peaceful day is it wasn't for one boy that made my Monday morning another living hell.
But before I continue telling my story let me introduce myself, my name is no other then Hermione Jean Granger. Yes, the one and only.
The one people tease as the bookworm, know-it-all, teacher's pet…well you get my point…I used to be okay with being teased about these things until one boy had to ruin my day…
Let me rewind that particular day…it was just another not so peaceful Monday morning…I was on my way to class…with Harry and Ron by my side…
When we arrived at our not so exciting classroom filled with not very nice classmates…he showed up…
"Oh look! If it isn't the three musketeers! Potty, Weasel and mud blood…" he teased as he and his fake friends suck it all up with laughter.
The annoying boy who thinks he's all that, thinks the whole world revolves around him, the little git…with his (beautiful) grey eyes…and stupid (adorable) golden hair…
Yes, you've got it right…this boy I'm talking about is no other then the one and only Draco Malfoy…the (gorgeous) Slytherin Prince…
Just when Harry was about to say something I cut him off, signaling him with my hand that Draco Malfoy was mine! (How I wish…)
"What is your problem Malfoy?!" I shouted at him with all my might.
He looked at me with those grey eyes filled with not anger and hatred as I thought they would be…but instead filled with so much sadness…yeah right!
He was silent for a while before he finally spoke…standing up from his desk still eyes glued with mine…(which felt so right somehow)
"What's my problem Granger?..." he asked sarcastically with his famous smirk.
"Yes…or are you just plain deaf Malfoy?" I shot back at him with a little grin.
"I don't really have a problem Granger…it's you who has a problem…"
"What?! Me?!" I asked confused.
"Exactly…."
"What are you talking about Malfoy?"
"It's a pity really…someone who's supposed to be that entirely smart…has no clue…"
"I can't understand anything you're saying…" I said a bit calmly now.
"It's about you and that Viktor person…"
Before I continue on with the story…let me explain…yes…Viktor Krum and I used to go out…everything was going fine until I realized he was cheating on me behind my back…after that I never went out with any boy again and I forgot him eventually until now…Draco just had to bring up the subject again…
Now on with the rest of the story…
I stood there frozen and unable to come up with anything clever to say until I just plainly asked "What does he have to do with anything?"
Looking away from him now…feeling the tears I once wanted to shed come up my eyes once again…
"Come on Granger! I thought you were smarter than that! Really! But you weren't even that clever to see once you turned your back he was cheating on you? What a pity…" he said with disgust in his voice.
There I was again…frozen and unable to come up with anything to say…everyone from the Slytherin was laughing and mocking my past mistake…I felt the tears coming out from my eyes that particular moment…
Although he wasn't laughing like his 'friends' were…he stood there watching my next move…
My hands were shaking…I was shaking…I felt he was about to say something else…but before he could I slapped him in the side of his face…so hard…everyone fell silent…
"Don't you think I realize how stupid and pathetic I felt like then? You're so good to see other people's mistakes that you yourself could not see your own…" while I said this tears started flowing down my cheeks which I felt redden with anger.
He didn't make a move…he held his redden chicks from where I slapped him…I didn't wait for him to say anything else…I ran out of the room with Harry and Ron running after me…but I ignored them…
I ran straight into the common room and up into the girl's dormitory…locking myself inside my lifeless room…
I sat down on the edge of my bed and curled myself into a ball with my head on my knees…not caring how socking wet my school wardrobe had gotten…
My head was spinning in circles…I felt like vomiting from crying so much…
Harry and Ron were outside the door banging and calling out to me to open the door…but I just wanted to be left alone to think…
"Hermione! Open the bloody door now!" screamed Ron from the outside.
"Leave me alone Ron!" I shouted back at him still crying my eyes out.
After a few attempts to get me to open the door they had finally given up…silence finally filled the room which I stayed in for a few hours…until I realized I finally got knocked out by the sleepiness I felt from crying that very day.
When I finally woken up darkness filled my room…only the light from the fireplace could be seen through the cracks of the bottom door…
I got up and decided to change into a more comfortable wardrobe…a simple red t-shirt and matching jeans to go with it…placing my overly untamed bushy hair into a neat pony tail…
I sucked in a lot of air before finally attempting to open the door…when I entered the common room Harry was there sitting in the couch next to the fireplace….he sat there quietly all alone…he seemed to watch the fire dancing around the fireplace…not realizing I was standing there…
I made a little cough to get his attention…
"Mione? Are you alright? I have been waiting for you to come down..." he asked looking a bit stunned.
I sat next to him before answering…making myself as comfortable as ever…
"Uhmmm…y-yeah…of course…" I simply answered back a bit trembling hoping he wouldn't notice this.
"Really? Why didn't you just open the door when we asked you to?"
"B-because...I-I…" I was unable to get the right words to say to make sure he wouldn't take it the wrong way but eventually failed.
Silence filled the room before he finally said something…
"I understand how your feeling Mione…I really do…" he said not looking at me…just starring at the fireplace again…
I couldn't think of anything to add so I sat there quietly…hoping he would say something else…
"You shouldn't let that Malfoy get to you…he doesn't know what he's saying…he doesn't know how it feels to be truly loved…"
"I know I shouldn't let him get to me…but there's just something in the way he said those things that really…hurt me…"
"He's used to those things….he isn't known as the Slytherin Prince for nothing you know…" he said with a little smile.
That cheered me up somehow…seeing his warm smile made me feel like there was still hope.
"Y-yeah…" I uncomfortably added with a small smile.
"Just know that I'll always be here for you…you know that right?" he added taking my hand in his. How warm his hand felt in my hand was a mystery to me somehow.
"T-thanks Harry…you're the best…" I said taking him into a small barely hug.
"You hungry?" he asked breaking from the hug and finally standing up from the couch facing me.
"No not really…" I lied but I was really, really hungry…hey! I missed lunch…
He plainly looked at me raising his eyebrows. He knew I was lying.
"Okay! I'm totally famished…" I said giggling.
Harry didn't say anything he only smiled and reached his hand for me to take.
I took them and he helped me stand up. We both walked to the Great hall. We didn't say much to each other on our way to the hall. Only the sound of our footsteps could be heard as we walked.
I realized how cold the air of the night was as the wind blew directly through my face and blew my hair from side to side. How I wished I brought my sweater…I murmured to myself not noticing Harry had heard what I said.
"Your cold?" he asked before I could respond he took off his jacket and placed them around my arms.
"T-thanks Harry…" I simply said giving him the best sweetest smile I could give which he returned back sweetly.
We were getting near the Great hall. Only a few students were left there eating and chatting the night away but what I noticed the most was from the other side of the hall only one blond haired boy stayed at the table.
When we walked past him I caught his eye but I turned away as quick as I could avoiding his gaze.
As I sat down next to Harry I noticed he was still looking at me. I didn't understand if he was mad or was just plainly feeling lonely all by himself.
I was lost in my thoughts trying to find the answer but found reality again when "Mione? You okay?" Harry asked concerned.
"Y-yeah…everything's just dandy Harry…" I said hoping he wouldn't notice I was looking at Draco.
He only gave a smile and started filling my plate with any food he could get his hands on.
As I gave a sigh of relief and started eating forgetting the 'Draco' issue.
