Chapter 1: Don't Turn Away
The war was over, Voldemort had been defeated by Harry and Professor Snape mostly, they had both almost been killed, but Ron, Draco and I had stepped in and helped out along with several other students and professors, all of us side by side in the war. Draco had turned against his father in the end of the war, he was the one who alerted the ministry when Lucius had tried to escape after the Dark Lord was killed. His father was thrown into Azkaban to await sentencing. Draco had decided to befriend us, to show us his true personality, his true side, he turned from Crabbe and Goyle, who were still under the influence from their parents. We decided to give him a chance, we all ened up becoming extremley good friends with him, although he was still sarcastic whenever he was in the mood. It ended up being that he started dating Ginny Weasley, at first Ron was against it, but after a talk with the family, it was decided that it was ok as long as Ginny was happy, though it still bothered Ron somewhat alongside Fred, George, Charlie, Bill, and Percy, being the overprotective brothers that they are. Currently Ron was seeing Lavender Brown and Harry was going out with Parvati Patil. It seemed everyone had someone but me, but damn was I wrong! As I would soon find out.
"What's going on?" Ginny asked me, my best friend of 6 years since the day we met in my second year.
"O, the boys went to go play Quidditch, I figured I'd go study for the finals in the libray and read some books while I'm at it." I replied.
Ginny shook her head, "Leave it to you to want to study, even when finals aren't until next semester!" She laughed, I smiled and playfully kicked her.
"I guess I'm going to head off to watch them play, gotta cheer for Draco and piss the bloody hell out of Ron." Ginny giggled as she turned to go.
"Alright, I'll be in the library." I said to her as we both headed in opposite directions.
*Now fully matured almost, no longer plain, now filled out with curves, long hair, mine still curly but tamed thick brown hair, Ginny's straight, thin, and naturally bright red. The boys had grown up too, Harry was more masculine then skinny, his hair was still as messy as ever. Ron was also looking the same way, though his hair was more smooth. Draco was very lean, his hair parted in the middle instead of slicked back. In our own ways, we had definatly matured alot.*
I walked down the hallway towards the library, passing by a number of students lingering around talking. I finally reached the library door, opened it, and walked inside, quickly making my way to the back, where I could read in quiet. I picked out a few books, set them down on the nearest table, then settled in to read for awhile. Soon, I was soo caught up in my book, that I didn't even notice the shadow lingering near me, looking at the books on the shelves next to me. Finally it presented itself, scaring the hell out of me, my book fell to the ground, I looked up; it was Professor Snape, he sneered down at me as I picked my book up.
"Good evening Miss Granger." Snape said.
Good evening professor Snape." I replied looking him over.....WAIT! Since WHEN did I start to check him out? Not that he was bad looking in my opinion, actually he was ver.....oh Merlin! Must stop thinking that way, he's your professor! arggg!
"In the library studying as usual I presume?" He sneered.
"Yes, for finals, doing homework as well."
"I see, good day Miss.Granger." Snape said as he turned and walked out, holdingsome books he had already checked out in his hand, robes billowing behind him as he left.
'Not much for talking.' I thought to myself as I returned to reading my book.
