I don't own Harry Potter. Yeah that's it. What were you expecting? A funny statement? __________________ ________________________________________________________________________

Harry, Ron, her teachers. They all saw her as a girl. No matter that she had helped Harry defeat Voldemort their 6th year. Nope, she was still a girl. And it didn't help either that she had to wear a badge saying Head GIRL. She had estrogen. A body. Not just a mind. She had lust.

For him. The most forbidden of them all. Draco Malfoy. It had started when Lucius killed Narcissa. Hermione was always the kind of person who wanted to take in some stray animal. Help the poor thing, which was why she had had a crush on Harry for 5 years. He had needed it, to be fondled by her when his scar hurt, when he had bad dreams, when he needed somebody's shoulder to cry on . Virginia Weasly had filled that position now. Harry didn't need her anymore and she didn't have that crush on him anymore. She had never seen that in Ron and so she didn't want him. Now, she saw it in Draco. Like every other person in the school she ignored it though. He was a Slytherin and a Malfoy to top it all off. She had no chance. And if she did she wouldn't take it. Would she? It made her sick to her stomach. The fact that she wanted a person who despised her for everything that she was. A female, a Gryffindor, and a muggle-born. Yet his silver hair made her go mad. Silver eyes, pale face, lean and slender runner's build. He drove her wild. Yet she liked his imperfections even more. The way his hair had a natural white streak underneath the silver top layer. The way his eyelashes were a little uneven towards the end. The way his lips were pinker in the middle than on the edges. She noticed it all and a lot more to be truthful. Yet to be in love with him was total lunacy. Hermione had never believed that love was just going to rush up on her. The way her infatuation with Draco had rushed upon her.

There was also peer pressure. Everyone just EXPECTED her to end up marrying Harry like it was her destiny. And if they couldn't have that, they wanted her with Ron. It was unfair, that they try to make her do that. And make was the important word here. Lavender had left Ron at the 5th year ball just so she and Ron could be alone together that night. Parvarti and Seamus had actually gone through all of the trouble to set them up on a blind date.

Hermione was a pretty. Once bushy hair was now sleek and straight. Once pale cheeks held color. She had filled out. Harry and Ron HAD noticed. Yet Hermione's beauty and charm were no match for Ginny's. Virginia was positively beautiful. Full red curls, rose colored cheeks, hot pink lips, and curvy. Small and agile, Ginny was an awesome chaser, she was polite and funny, and always the center of attention at parties. Harry loved her. Harry, unlike Hermione, was an avid believer of falling in love quickly.

Ron on the other hand was currently in the process of denying his feelings for Hermione. He wasn't in love but he was certainly interested in Hermione. Ron was more interested though in Parvarti. He didn't know that her looks were just as good a glamour as Draco's. She wasn't pretty in the least. Parvarti was no Gryffindor by heart. She had been put into Gryffindor because she, like Harry, had chosen to be there. Well, Parvarti had positively BEGGED the sorting hat. She was brave enough to be there yet she had none of the Gryffindoric traits. The loyalty, the faith, the strength, the Righteousness. She would sell out anyone in seconds if it suited her. Lavender, who was currently dating some 7th year Ravenclaw, helped her out with the glamour. Parvarti was no where near smart enough to do it. Lavender was beautiful. Not as much as Ginny, but beautiful none the less. Lavender was almost always under rated by the school and her teachers. Her problem was that she wanted Ronald. Perhaps that was why 4th year in Professor Trelawney's room, the Prof. had said to beware a red headed man.

Hogwarts is a school which will always hold more secrets than Malfoy Mansion. Draco's and Hermione's were only one..yet it just might be the greatest.
