Chapter 1: painful love

It was a bight, sunny day at Hogwarts. Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley were in their 7th and final year at Hogwarts. Right now there was a Quidditch match going on. It was Gryffindor verses Slytherin.

"What's the matter Potter? Afraid you might lose to me?" Draco Malfoy asked Harry smugly. Harry just ignored him and continued doing his job. Back at the stands, Hermione and Ron were cheering on Harry and the rest of the team. Well, Ron was mostly doing that. Hermione just watched in silence, clapping when Gryffindor scored.

"Hermione, you've been awfully quite. What's the matter?" Ron asked her.

"What? Oh... nothing. I'm fine," Hermione said dazed.

"Come on, Herm. I know when you lie. Please tell me what's wrong. I won't get mad. I promise."

"I wish I could Ron but I can't. It'd be to embarrassing and I swear you will get mad if I tell you."

"All right. But if you do ever wish to tell me, I'm here for you," Ron assured her.

"Thanks, Ron." Hermione and Ron had gone out for a couple months during their 6th year but they just couldn't have it happen. They did break up eventually but they were closer friends than they had been before.

Meanwhile, Harry found the snitch. So he went chasing after it. Draco saw him following the snitch, so he chased after it too. They bumped into each other trying to get each other away from the snitch. Little did Draco know that a bludger was right behind him. He heard screams, telling him to move but it was too late. The bludger hit Draco and he fell off his broom. Harry caught the snitch but everyone's attention was on Draco. It looked like he had been it pretty badly. When Hermione saw this, she went pale then started running toward the field. There was a large group surrounding Draco but she managed to push her way though to see Draco. She gasped at the sight of him. He looked dead but he was breathing.

"Move out of the way please! We need to take Mr. Malfoy to the Hospital Wing!" Madam Hooch yelled at everyone. Everyone on the Slytherin team walked up to the Hospital Wing with Madam Hooch and Draco. Hermione watched them leave. She felt like she had a hole in her chest. Once they were out of sight, Hermione decided to return to her room. Ron and Harry were celebrating when they noticed Hermione leaving.

"Mione, where are you going" Harry asked her.

"I'm going to my room," Hermione answered him. She walked with tears slowly filling her eyes. At first it was hard to admit it to herself but now she knows it's true. Hermione Granger was falling for her worst enemy, Draco Malfoy.
