3rd Year , part 1
A/N , I don't know if anyone really wants this but here's third year , once again Draco centric. The song is Land of The Living by Bush off the album Golden State.
// I found myself in another world
I found alive and well
I am the vapour
I am the gas
You be the angel of everything//
It had felt good , being back on the Hogwarts Express again , just knowing that she was on the train made him feel better about himself. When he had wandered into the into their compartment , he followed the routine of insulting The Boy Who Lived To Be A Pain in The Ass and the Weasel , not once looking her way much less insulting her. He had made a promise to himself in the infirmary that night , he was going to make an effort to be kinder to her , then maybe later he'd have a chance.
// This is the land of the living
the land of reprisal
I lost myself to a wider pain
I opened up i'm not the same //
Once Potty had drawn his attention to the fact there was a teacher sitting in the compartment he used that excuse to make a quick retreat knowing that if he had stayed in there any longer he'd have to say something horrible to her. When the Dementors came he was glad he hadn't stayed , not satisfied with sucking the little happiness he had left in him , they made him see things , memories he had worked so hard to bury. Of his father , of the horrible things he'd seen his father do and if the promises of what he would do if Draco shacked up with that Mudblood slut , his fathers' words of course.
// I am the match you be the fire
This is the land of the living
the land of reprisal
In myself I try for you
Walk a thousand miles to get us through..//
He tried , he really did .In Arithmancy , the one class he shared with her without her two idiot friends around , he hardly said anything to her and when he did say something he was reasonably polite about it , hoping that she would see him for what he really was. But to no avail. Then in Care of Magical Creatures the one of the best things in his whole life happened...he was attacked by a Hippogriff , well that wasn't really the thing , but when it happened Hermione ran to help him. Showing that she did have some sort of concern for him at least. Although he would of preferred if it had happened in a less painful way.

Safe Landing
No Branding
This is the land of the living
The land of survival //
She slapped him , She SLAPPED Him. Hermione Granger , Mudblood Gryffindor Princess dared to raise a hand to Pureblooded Slytherin Prince Draco Malfoy. She called him evil , called him foul , called him pathetic. Those words had more of an effect on him than the slap did , they crushed the small portion of hope he held out that one day she would see what he really was. Her words scarred him deeper than an physical injury she could throw at him.
A/N - Okay , I'm splitting 3rd year into 2 parts , I know this part was pretty crap , but I was having some writers block and this was the best I could do. And I know that the song had like nothing to do with the rest of the fic but I had something completely different in mind when I started. Also thanks to everyone who's reviewed , I really appreciate it and hopefully you'll keep reading.
