A/N: I'm going to try to use both Draco and Darla's POV's in every other chapter.
After dinner all the prefects asked me to look over their papers. They wanted me to give them little pointers and corrections. I agreed to look them over after dinner. So here I am reading Mione's paper.
She chose Michelle Branch's "Everywhere." She said it was because she was in love with someone and had been for a long time and she just had so much feelings for him that he filled her dreams and she sees his beautiful face everywhere she goes. I thought it was sweet, but I already knew that several other people would be using that one.
Elyse picked Dido's "Don't think of me" because her boyfriend of two years had recently dumped her and started seeing another girl. The problem was she could see he still had feelings for her and was starting to regret it. I thought it was a good song. Not many people would choose that one.
I was a little surprised to see that Justin had chosen "You're a God" by Vertical Horizon. He said that he was madly in love with his girlfriend, but he didn't feel worthy of her. He said she was the most gorgeous thing he had ever seen; yet he didn't understand why she picked him of all people. He apparently thought of himself as plain and boring. I felt a little sorry for him, but he did write a good paper. The best one I had read out of the three.
Then I finally got to Draco's. He had chosen one of my favorite songs, "Unwanted" by Avril Lavigne. He said it was because people didn't like him because he was a Malfoy. People assumed that he was just like his father, but he was the opposite and hated the way people treated him. He said no one really ever got to know him. I looked up at him when I finished it. I studied his face. He had beautiful blue eyes with a silvery tint. They were a little sad with a hint of coldness as a result of the way he had been treated all his life. His lips were soft. His hair was gelled back. I looked at his stance. He looked a little embarrassed and stood a little bit away from the others. Then his eyes met mine, and at that moment I decided I wanted to be the person to get to know him. I wanted to be the person to care for him. I wanted to be his everything. I wanted to eventually be able to look into his eyes and no longer see any sign of coldness.
"You did very good. All of you did. I am more then sure you will get good grades on this." I handed Draco back his paper and then looked at the rest of them.
Hermione went into Elyse's room with her to read over each other's papers and Justin walked out, probably to see his girlfriend. Draco walked over to his room and as his door opened I shot up and before I knew it my hand was on his arm, lightly pulling him back towards me. He looked at me and his eyes had an expression that asked 'what are you doing?'
"Your paper, was it all true Draco?" I asked softly.
"Yes. It all was." He nodded.
"The way you wrote it. I could see you've had this all bottled up for a long time. Have you ever told anyone before?" I whispered.
"No. No one would understand. No one would want to. They don't care. No one has ever cared about me. No one but my mother, and for all I know she could be dead right now." He turned away.
"That's terrible. Do you want to talk?" I slightly smiled with genuine concern.
"No." He looked at everything but me.
"Well, just know that I'm here for you. If you do ever want to talk I'm here. We don't even have to talk about that. We can talk about anything. You think no one cares, but you have at least one person who cares." I lightly touched his cheek and his eyes slowly looked into mine.
"Who?" He asked.
"Me. I care Draco." Then I left his side and went to my room.

That night I sat out by the fireplace reading. The fire was warm and comforting. I was reading one of my favorite books. I had read it at least five times. It was Kate Tiernan's Book of Shadows, the first of a fourteen book series. I smiled to myself as I thought about how the book was so close and yet so far from the truth about witches. Their witches wore normal clothes and lived in the real world. They didn't have wands. There were weekly circles. Yet things were also similar. There were seven witch clans, kinda like the four houses at Hogwarts. They had a council that worked with non-magic folk.
I turned the page and continued reading. I then grew weary. I felt eyes upon me. I turned around to see Draco standing in his doorway watching me intently. He looked pretty comfortable, which meant he had to have been there for some time.
He slowly walked over by the fire and sat down by me. He was quiet and just stared into the fire. I looked over at him and watched him. What was he thinking about? Why did he turn away from me earlier? Why do people hate him?
"You know how you said earlier that if I ever needed someone to talk to you would be there. Well, I'm ready to talk now." He looked at me and slightly smiled.
A/N: Wasn't that cute? Review please.
