Chapter 3: Draco's Silent Confessions (I)
Draco's task turned out to be more than difficult. At first he was confident that he'd be able to do it, but now he wasn't so sure. How in the bloody hell was he supposed to fix a vanishing cabinet. And even the thought of backing out sent shivers down his spine.
Contrary to what people might have thought, Draco Malfoy had always wanted to be an Auror, and not just any Auror, he wanted to be a Senior Auror.
But now he was paying for his father's mistakes. Sometimes Draco thought about how different his life would be without Voldermort. His parents had a happy marriage before the rise of the Dark Lord but now, even their love was lost somewhere between killing and torturing.
Draco hated his father for doing this to him. He hated being the pig for slaughter. He was hating himself . But then it wasn't even his fault that he was a Malfoy. Sometimes Draco wished he was an ordinary wizard, pure blood, half blood or muggle born, anyone except a Malfoy.
He headed towards the staircase when he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and was met with an empty corridor. He could've sworn that he saw a mass of curly brown hair behind one of the pillars, but within the blink of an eye it was gone. He turned back around and resumed his walk. And his thoughts drifted over to a bushy haired and now-not-buck-toothed-anymore, know it all Granger. Hermione Granger. He sighed, thinking of her made his blood boil.
For all his life he was taught that pure bloods were better than muggle borns. But this certain witch had proved him, his parents and his ancestors wrong. She had challenged his beliefs. She really was the brightest witch of her age. And Draco couldn't get her out of his mind. Actually, he had never been able to get her out of his mind since third year...
When he was a attacked by that proud creature, no one, not even his sidekicks came to help him, but a certain Hermione Granger. She came rushing towards him and told their Professor to take him to the hospital wing immediately. To say that he was shocked would be an understatement.
When he was young, his father would never heal his injuries which he usually got while playing nor would he let anyone else do it for him." Only cowards can feel pain", his father would say and Draco Malfoy was anything but a coward.
On that day, the only person who showed concern was the only person who he had hurt intentionally, purely out of jealousy. Hermione Granger had come to him. Hermione Granger had come for him.
His respect for Granger increased even more when he was punched right in the face by none other than Granger herself. She was so kind, even towards animals, that it made his heart clench. How could a single human being be so kind?
