While you were Dreaming

I can see the way that Ginny Weasley looks at me, I'm not blind.

Actually no, I mean I do wear glasses so I am sorta half blind I guess... I probably should have said that I'm not oblivious or ignorant about how she feels about me.

I just don't know how I feel about her, she's Ron's little sister. I mean I've always thought of her as an unofficial sister just like how all the Weasleys have become members of my adopted family. I'm unsure whether I actually like her as more than that, to me she's still Ron's sister, the girl that was so shy that she could hardly speak or look at me.

Ron and Hermione know too, both of them seem to think that it's a good idea for us to be together. They keep giving me subtle hints hoping that I will catch on; I know that they are getting frustrated over how oblivious I seem. If I ever do anything to indicate that I would be interested in Ginny I know that they would both pounce on me and push me to ask her out, so I take care not to look at her too much or talk to her or about her.

Still that did not stop them from their hints which were increasingly losing their subtleness.

'Mate you know you should start going out with someone, Cho was a long time ago...'

'Harry you know Ginny hasn't gone out with someone for a while I think she's looking for that someone special, you should try and find someone too...'

Actually I am surprised that Ron is ok with the thought of me going out with his sister at all, he's such the protective older brother. I know that if we did get together then he would defiantly give me the speech about treating his sister right and if I hurt her... mostly though I think that he's pleased because if Ginny and I got together then we really would be family.

I'm confused though Ginny keeps giving me these looks and trying to talk to me-though I try and mostly succeed in avoiding her- and Ron and Hermione keep giving me these hints, I don't even know if I like her though.

Maybe it's not Ginny herself maybe it's me I haven't noticed any girls lately at all and it's not because I'm pinning over Cho like Ron seems to think I am. Really that was ages ago and I have moved on.

It's not like I'm blind to how attractive people are either, I noticed that Hannah Abbott has nice eyes and that Felicia a Ravenclaw in the year below who is in the D.A has a pretty smile. But just because I notice them does not mean that I am attracted to them I mean I also have noticed that Malfoy is Strikingly handsome- no wonder all the girls like him- and that Terry Boot has nice hair.

So really it's just being able to appreciate people's looks in an entirely non romantic or sexual way because I mean who in their right mind would like Malfoy...ok except for Parkinson who was all over him at the Yule Ball in fourth year. All I can say is that I can see why the girls like him I've often heard the girls in the common room mooning over his looks –'those gorgeous eyes' 'that silky hair' 'his sexy smirk!'- And how terrible it is that he is a Slytherin and has an appalling attitude.

Though I have to admit there is something off with Malfoy, lately he has seemed more withdrawn from his Slytherin groupies and sometimes I have seen him with what has looked like a sad expression on his face though whenever I try and look too closely his face is set in that cold sneer of his and I'm unsure if the sadness in his eyes was just part of my imagination.

I haven't mentioned anything to Ron and Hermione though; I'm not sure what they would make of me paying so much attention to Malfoy. Ron would probably say that he was sad because he hadn't received the Dark mark and become a Death Eater yet, or that his father wouldn't buy him a new broom or because Hermione had beaten him in their latest Arithmacy test yet again. Hermione would probably say that it didn't matter and that Malfoy was not worth his time and give him another hint about other things that could take up his time such as homework or going out with Ginny.

Sometimes I think that Malfoy is watching me but then again I am watching him too, there's just something about him that is different this year and want to know what it is. So while Ginny tries to catch my attention, Hermione and Ron try and get me to realise that I have deeply buried feelings for Ginny between their make out sessions, homework, classes and the three of us hanging out together I focus on trying to figure out what has changed with Malfoy.

I think that Hermione is getting worried about me though; I think she has noticed that I am preoccupied with something and that my mind has not always been on what I am doing. Hermione is smart, she's curious and I know that sooner or later she will find out about my obsession with Malfoy and tell me to leave it alone.

I cannot.

There is something different about Draco Malfoy and it intrigues me.

A/N:So long scince i last updated my stories, it almost makes me weep in shame at the thought. I do promise that none of them are abandoned and that they will be finished, it might just take longer than i originally planed or thought.

I do hope that you find this chapter alright and up to scratch, it is about a third shorter than the last chapter of this story i think.

The next chapter is still unwritten and i am undecided on whose POV it shall be written from Hermiones or Ginnys, though it could be neither.

Hopefully i should be able to write some more soon as i am on holidays though soon i will have to start the search for a part time job, i just finished highschool last year and now i am looking forward to uni.

Anyway please don't forget to review, i always apreciate anyones comments and thoughts, no flames though please only constructive critacism is welcome if you wish to say something negatively inclined towards my story or my writting.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Harry Potter or the Poem i have used at the start of chapter one.
