I stepped into the train station.
I passed the wall. Finally.
Exactly like I was being told: the Hogwarts Express.
From the day I was born my parents were proud to say that I will be a great witch. Smart and sophisticated one.
My parents, both wizards used to tell me every night, before I went to bed how it was to study at Hogwarts, from the ride to school thought sorting ceremony until the very last day.
I was very thrilled to learn new things and see with my own eyes what my parents had talked about.
After the long ride, the sorting ceremony, and the amazing feast we went to bed- not before I ran into a very arrogant blonde hair boy.
He looked at me. I could say he was kind of confused, but somehow he held himself and didn't say a word, and walked away from me, towards Harry Potter.
Later I realized that he was(like my friends called him with a very disgusted look) "no other" than some boy called Draco Malfoy.
The fourth year was here and the Yule ball was around the corner.
All my friends got dates and I was the only one who didn't.
the ball was about to start and I was in my bed. why should I go? I don't have a date, it will look ridiculous.
my friends tried to convince to get out of bed and get dressed but I refused.
they didn't listen. they did my makeup and hair and send me to where my dress.
I couldn't reject anymore. obediently I changed and they gasped
when I was finally ready.
'you are so beautiful!' one of them said.
'Forget about a date, boys are stupid'
I smiled and we went down to the great hall.
we got in and I saw so many couples. there was something that caught my eyes. I didn't know why but the sight of Draco Malfoy standing there with this Pancy girl annoyed me.
I noticed that he was looking at me for a long second and he turned away.
it wasn't the first time it happened,
Sometimes I caught him looking at me at dinner in the great hall, but soon as I spotted it he looked away.
He used to do it very naturally like he was glancing at some point behind me.
My friends went dancing with their dates and I was alone, drinking a butterbeer. A Durmstrang boy came towards me and invited me to dance.
I saw Draco giving us a tiny look as we went outside, trying to talk.
Another year has passed, and I entered into my fifth year in Hogwarts.
Every evening of the first two weeks I used to sit on a rock in the gardens, watching the sunset, all by myself.
One of these evenings I was thinking about my friend's boyfriends, and how for almost four years Draco has managed to capture my eyes.
My thoughts were interrupted by some noise behind me. Footsteps, very slow and gentle.
I froze. After few seconds I turned around, there was nothing behind me.
It was late so I decided to go back to the castle, when I entered the common room I ignored a very sweet couple that sat on the wooden chairs and went quietly to my bed.
I closed my eyes even though I wasn't tired and somehow the image that jumped into my mind was Draco's.
I decided to dedicate few seconds to think about it. Everything that I do is calculated, and I couldn't try to understand my thoughts, or more than that, my feelings.
I couldn't exactly say that I have feelings for him, but something made me feel very attracted.
I spent something like a half an hour thinking, when I started to feel very tired, I fell asleep, not before I've seen Draco's face in my mind, again.
Next morning I woke up earlier than usual, I don't know why...
Slowly I got up and started getting ready.
Until I was ready my roommates had woken up.
I left the room and got into class, not waiting for breakfast in the great hall.
I sat down next to one of the tables and opened my books, of course, I wasn't surprised that the first class on Monday morning is with the Slytherins, but what did surprise me was that Draco Malfoy was sitting few tables away from me, half an hour before class started.
he looked at me for a very long second. I felt a very strange needed to smile. I smiled and he got up from his chair, starting to get closer to me. He stopped, gave a long look at the floor and got out of class, probably to the great hall.
I stared at the way he was standing before he got out of class, wondering what the hell just happened right now.
I got into class planning to go over the last lesson we learned and ended up thinking, again.
What happened here?!
What Draco was doing here half an hour before class started?!
Why did he started walking towards me and stopped? What did he want?
And what he was thinking about when he was staring at the floor?
My thoughts were interrupted by students that were entering the class.
A few minutes later, we started the lesson.
I was busy writing in my notebook when a noise of doors getting opened was sounded.
"Mr. Malfoy," Said the professor "don't you think you are late?!"
Malfoy didn't answer, he just nodded and sat quietly on an empty chair.
