A/N:

Okay, this is my first attempt at fan fiction, so please review, but be nice. The first chapter of this really isn't all that great, but I promise you that the second will be better.

By the way, this revolves around Draco.

Disclaimer- I own absolutely none of this.

"A Dragon Never Cries" Chapter One.



He was doing it again. He, Draco Malfoy, was looking at that stupid Mudblood, Hermione Garnger.

But,, as much as he hated to admit it, Draco didn't really think of Hermione as a, "stupid Mudblood", even though he let everyone think he did.

Draco brushed away a loose strand of silvery-blond hair from his pale cheek and poked at his bacon with his fork. Why did I even bother to come down to Breakfast? He thought. I'm not hungry. Draco put his fork down. You know very well why you came down, so don't even try to fool yourself, said a little voice in Draco's head. You wanted to look at Hermione.

But that was really only half true. Draco did want to look at her- her hair that was no longer big and bushy, but sleek and shiny or her beautiful brown eyes. But, Draco also was trying to muster enough courage to do something that he had been thinking about doing ever since the start of term: Draco wanted to ask Hermione to the Winter Ball.

Unfortunely, Draco was a Malfoy and a Malfoy could never be with a Muggleborn. Luicious, Draco's father, would never allow it. Like I give a damn about what my stupid little git of a father thinks, Draco contemptuously.

After a long debate with himself, Draco decided that he should just admit it: he, Draco Malfoy, had fallen in love with Hermione Granger. Now, that Draco had completed the first step in solving his problem, he tried to focus on how he should go about asking her.

She's also hanging around Potter and Weasley, he thought angrily. Draco absolutely depiesed the both of them for no reason in particular. But, I can work out a plan, Draco thought assurely, as he left the Great Hall with one last look at Hermione through his cold pale eyes. For Draco was a dragon, and a dragon could do anything he wanted.



A/N: well, that chapter one, hoped you liked it. Once again, I promise that tchapter two will be better (and longer) that is, if you want me to continue it. Please r/r!!!! thanks!
