Harry Potter

Secretly She Wanted Him as Well

Disclaimer: I don't own anything that is associated with Harry Potter. . .. . . . sigh

Thank you to everyone who reviewed and I know I was such a bitch for not writing for so long. I'm so sorry but everything in my life has been fucked up lately and now I finally got everything organized and can use my time to do what I really love, to write. Thank you for supporting this story!!!

"What's with Draco lately? I'm telling you, don't lose him. Once you're out of school

marry him and you'll be set for life. Don't let some other girl get what was meant for

you." Claudia warned. Carolie rolled her eyes, "As if I could do anything to control that

bastard. But if anyone tries to get what's mine, that bitch will be sorry she ever heard of

Draco Malfoy. And I guess you're right. Graduation is in four months. If I can put up

with him until then, everything will be worth it." "Can you just imagine the rock he'll

give you?" Jeannette exclaimed. Carolie smiled and glanced down at her perfectly

manicured but bare ring finger. "Yes, it'll all be worth it." Picking up her dieters' ice tea,

she sipped contently and imagined the life of luxury becoming a Malfoy would give her.

Hermione was desperate, she tried writing the expository piece from memory and failed.

It was due the next day in class, since tomorrow she was to finally join the classes.

"Damnit where is he?" Hermione muttered running through the courtyards where most of

the students were eating lunch. Deciding finally to approach someone, she headed

towards a group of guys. "Excuse me, would any of you happen to know where to find

Draco?" Hermione asked. "Figures she knows Malfoy already. He usually visits Carolie

and then eats with us. Go ask Carolie Mallachezky. She'll know where to find him.

Carolie always eats lunch with her friends under the main gazebo in the rose gardens."

Andy suggested. Yelling thanks over her shoulder Hermione headed towards the garden

behind the school. In the middle of a sea of roses, she saw a great wooden gazebo with

intricate carvings. Hermione walked up the stone path to the gazebo and stepped inside.

Immediately several girls shot her angry looks. "What exactly do you think you're doing

here?" One spoke up. "I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I'm looking for Draco Malfoy."

Hermione did not miss the surprised glances exchanged between the girls. From the back

of the gazebo a girl with reddish girl stood up. "What exactly do you want with my

boyfriend?" Carolie asked with flashing anger in her eyes. "Our books were mixed up in

the library when I dropped my things. I have his notebook and I'm pretty sure he has

mine. An assignment of mine is in there and it's due next period." Hermione explained

quickly. Carolie wasn't convinced, but she gave the information. "Oh, is that all? He

probably gave it to the professor already. If I were you I'd check with Liem first. If Draco

still has it, then he's eating lunch with Jerald and Andy. That's all I know." Carolie said.

"Thanks!" Hermione called and hurried away. 'Scary how brainwashed and power

hungry people here are.' Hermione thought.

"Professor, I met a girl in the library. And our books were messed up. I believe that this is

for your class." Draco said handing Hermione's notebook to the stern woman. "Thank

you Draco. I'll bet Hermione's looking for it." Professor Leim flipped through the pages

and glanced down at the essay. A smile formed, "An excellent girl. You really should try

to get to know her better." The professor picked up the rest of her things and left.

Halfway out the door Professor Leim fumbled with her books trying to balance them out,

and Draco saw a flutter of white fall to the floor. Picking it up, he saw the beginning

words of a letter to Hermione. Loosing to temptation, he skimmed through.

Dear Mione,

Ron and I still can't believe that you're gone. Ginny's gone absolutely crazy since

Harrison asked her out and she doesn't have you to consult clothes with anymore. I wish

you were there when she tried to ask Ron for advice and he suggested a pair of sweats.

We really miss you and we know everyone else does to. The professors at school seem

disappointed their top student's gone, and Fred and George are fuming that no one else is

patient enough to listen to their jokes then suggest how they could be changed so they

were actually funny. Come back soon and visit, we know your plans for coming during

the summer but that's so far from now. How will Ron and I organize our plans for

college? We're all part of a family and now you've gone and left. We try to tell ourselves

attending Brookstones Private is all good for your future, but that doesn't make us miss

you any less. Gosh Hermione you've left at senior year! All the plans we made. Please try

to convince your parents to let you fly back for a long weekend. The Weasleys and my

parents would literally fight over with who you would stay. And a Potter Weasley family

fight is always interesting. Gotta go finish studying for Grogert's exam next week.

Without you it takes us twice the time. Hope to hear from you soon, take care of yourself.

With love, Harry, Ron, Ginny,

P.S. our parents sent their love too!

Draco felt strange after reading. A little note told him so much about Hermione. He

glanced back down at the paper and saw the wet smears that could only have been made

by tears. Draco sat alone in Leim's classroom thinking about what the letter told him. Her

life was seemed so perfect he struggled to find some fault of hers. But there was none.

Hermione was out of breath and her head was spinning with class room numbers and

false and true directions. Finally reaching the third floor, she found room 409, Professor

Leim. Stopping to catch her breath and making sure she looked presentable, she opened

the door and stepped inside. Her eyes widened when she saw who was in the room.

Well, that's that. If I have time I'll post another chapter to this soon. But I'm trying to catch up on all my stories and that might just take forever!!!!
