A/N
I had a review about having some Ginny/Draco in this. I've been
thinking that for a while, I might make that happen..
I'm going to skip Harry's point of view for now, and move on to:
DRACO's! I doubt this will be very long, what can Draco have to say on this matter that could take up so much space?????????????????
Draco's View:
As much as Draco hated to say it, he was completely jealous of Potter.
He had always been, ever since he had heard of him from his father. Even though his father detested Potter, it was the only person he seemed to talk about, aside from the Dark Lord.
They were both like obsessions of his father.
Pitiful really
Draco didn't even want to be a Death Eater, but that was a whole other story. Right now he was thinking about how much he hated Potter.
And how jealous he was of him
The main reason for this, Draco would never tell a soul, and he would get back to that later.
The second reason for this was that Potter was * always * getting all the attention. Just because he had the stupid scar on his forehead, and he was always saving the world, and. gods, he was making himself feel worse.
The third reason was, Potter was * always * out-doing him. Whether it was for Qudditch, or dueling, or academic, he always seemed to be doing better then him. It really wasn't fair.
There were more reasons, but you could sum them up by saying he hated Potter.
Then why would Draco do anything to be him?
Then why did he admire him?
Then why did he want to be friends with him?
Maybe not exactly * be * friends with Potter, but have * a * friend like Potter. Let's face it; Crabbe and Goyle didn't even know what was up or down. Also, if he was in mortal danger, do you think Crabbe or Goyle would come charging into depths unknown, risking their lives, just to save him?
The idea was laughable.
That was something that Weasley, Potter, or Granger would do.
Granger. that brings up his main point for hating Potter.
He had Granger
Oh yes, it was pitiful; Draco Malfoy was helplessly in love with Hermione Granger. Who would have thought? It was almost as bad as him falling in love with Ginny Weasley.
Hmmm. Ginny Weasley. She had been with Potter when it had happened.
Then why wasn't she mad at them?
Strange. Draco hadn't really thought about that before. He drew his eyes away from the cold oatmeal he hadn't touched, and scanned the Gryffindor table, looking for red hair.
Actually, red hair was very attractive, even more so then. what was he thinking? Red hair was NOT attractive. No. definitely not. He shook these thoughts from his head, and then his eyes finally found the youngest Weasley.
What he saw, was defiantly * not * what he expected. Thoughts about Hermione suddenly vanished from his mind.
Red hair was definitely attractive
At least on Ginny it was
She seemed to be in some kind of argument with him.
Draco watched as she yelled something at Ron, and then stormed out of the Great Hall.
After a few moments Draco turned to Crabbe and Goyle, " I'm going."
They grunted in response, and he left, trying to figure out where Ginny could have gone.
After searching the library, and various classrooms, he concluded that she must have gone into the Gryffindor common room. He sighed in defeat, and headed for the lake outside.
To his surprise, and pleasure, Ginny was there.
She was gazing out, and didn't even notice when he sat down beside her.
Then he did something he never would have thought he would do, something very un-Malfoy like, "Um . . . Ginny are you alright?"
Her head snapped up, and her eyes turned cold when she saw it was him, "What do * you * want?" she scoffed.
"Nothing. I just saw you arguing with your brother and I wanted to see if you were all right."
Her eyes narrowed; obviously she wasn't buying it, "Is this some kind of joke, because if it is, it's not working."
"Okay, but this isn't a joke. Your brother is such an ass . . . I mean . . . Um . . . ."
"He is sometimes, but he's just mad about . . ." She trailed off.
"About Potter and Granger?"
"Yes."
"Why aren't you?"
"They're meant for each other. Who am I to try and come between that?"
He considered her words for a moment, "You're right."
A comfortable silence filled the air.
She looked at him straight in the eye, and spoke again, "Why are you being so nice to me?"
"I dunno." A nasty little voice filled his head, 'Liar'
She looked at him strangely. "Okay whatever."
Another moment of silence
"I'm sorry." He heard himself say
"What?"
"I said I'm sorry."
"Care to elaborate?"
"I'm sorry for everything I've done to the people you care about."
She smiled at him, "You're not so bad Draco Malfoy."
"Neither are you Ginny Weasley."
Maybe, just maybe he could have some friends after all.
Well that's it!
