Disclaimer: I own professor Littlewood and that's about it.

Chapter 4: Pleading Guilty Through Letters

*last time* (They sat in silence once more. Draco even fell asleep. But soon enough Professor Littlewood came and dismissed them. Hermione began to wonder what would happen tomorrow)

*Hermione's POV*

Walking aimlessly around the hall, Hermione came across Draco Malfoy. Boy did he look a mess. His hair was all slopped like Harry's, and his robes were filthy and gross. Looked as if he hadn't showered since the cleaning session, which was three days ago.

"Granger" Malfoy acknowledged

"Malfoy" Hermione did the same

"Granger, I've been meaning to tell you something." He began

"Okay, shoot" Hermione said

"Yeah.well, this may seem very odd to you, and please don't take this the wrong way, but..but oh never mind. Bye" Draco stuttered

"Yeah whatever" Hermione rolled her eyes. Then continued with her pointless walking around.

*Draco's POV*

- -'Yeah Bye' Draco thought. Oh how he wished he could tell her how he had felt since 2nd year. How he wanted to pull her to the side and attack her with his lips. Without losing his Malfoy reputation, he didn't think he would ever be able to have her. But oh how he wished, it was not a crime to wish. That detention, oh, he had tried to get that detention on purpose, even if it was the lamest excuse to spend time with Hermione. With the fact known that Hermione had a detention, he just had to get one too.

He remembered that letter he wrote to Hermione in sixth year, and never built up enough courage to give it to her. Spending hours on end editing and fixing the note to make it flawless, so that one day, he would give it to her.

Dearest Hermione,

I know we haven't been the best of friends. In reality, I don't think we even came close. Being the ass you see me as, I know you will never feel the same. Because I know you will never forgive me for all the rotten things I had done. Never meaning them in the slightest.

If I in person don't contact you before we leave this school, I will have known that I expressed my emotions through this letter.

Deep down, I am not the Draco Malfoy that I present myself to be. I cannot seem to demonstrate the real me when I'm around people that I care for. Yes, that's right, I care for you. I see you with your friends, and you look happy. I wish I had the same as you. Among myself never having any true friends. One of the very few things I desire.

Im positive the entire school thinks I'm the most spoiled brat in history. But trust me; I'm not in the least. It's rather complicated and difficult to clarify on paper. So Hermione, if you would like to learn the bona fide me, talk to me.

I know you're very irritable when it comes to me, but I think that is just an excuse not to understand me. And one day, one day I will know you. It is my ambition, my goal to love. I dream of loving. So I ask you, love me back.

Draco

What sap. I suppose she would like it. Being a sappy one myself, I couldn't help it. But it will have to do.

*Hermione's POV*

Hermione walked back to her common room. She had a feeling what Malfoy was trying to tell her back there. But she did not like the thought so she tried vigorously to think of something new. But before she knew it, she was standing in front of the fat lady.

"Why are you out so late missy, oh wait I remember now, you're a prefect okay, Password" The Fat Lady yawned

"Pumpkin Juice" Hermione said, and was let into the common room.

It was very late and not a soul was in the area. So deciding she was exhausted anyway, she went to her dorm, and said goodnight to the day.
