Title: The Reason that She Believes In Me

Author: assiorih13

Disclaimer: Harry Potter is not mine... and so is Draco, I wish! The world that revolves in this story is JK Rowling's work of genius, though I sometimes daydream of it as mine. The only thing that I own here is Aeiriss Loak.

Summary: Yes, you do know what is happening to Harry's life and the close people around him but you don't know what is exactly happening to Draco's. Oh, he hates Gryffindor's and loathed Potter, but do you really know the whole reason? Well, if you want to know, just read... Draco/??? And yeah,this is a song-fic! ( Please check title to see which ones...)

AN: I think I'm just going to include the song in the later part... and since the first cpater is about Draco's view (POV), this is Aeiriss' turn.

Chapter II- Slytherin and Gryffindor

She stared up at the inside of her four poster bed, staring at the blackness... at the nothingness.

She remembered the first time she got her letter from Hogwarts two years ago. She didn't know if they were only joking her, as that was how it had always been with them. They make fun of her. They think of her as something unwanted. They think of her as... nothing. Just like the space she is staring at right now... nothing. She always thought that she amounts to nothing, since that's how she'd been treated... nothing.

Nothing...

The word resonated in her head. Nothing.

She felt a trickle of tear make it's way down the contour of her face. She was glad that she came here at Hogwarts. Because here, they don't treat her as nothing, they treat her as someone. Even though she hadn't made a lot of friends since her first year, she is still happy. For her, this is the home she had longed for, the home her classmates in the Muggle world have, the home she have been deprived all her life.

This is home.

Hogwarts opened its door to her as if she belonged there all along... or maybe she really did. From the teachers to the students, from the ghosts to the portraits, from the moving stairs to the vanishing steps, from the hidden passageways to the secret doors, and even Peeves...

This is home.

From Hufflepuffs who always seem friendly to all to the Ravenclaws who always have ther noses buried in books, though not as often as Hermione Granger does (one of her housemate), from the Gryffindors who have served as her real family this past two years to the Slytherins, yes, even them, who always seemed to take a special 'liking' towards Gryffindors. Those Slytherins always annoys and taunt them.

This is home.

Slytherins... thump, thump, thump...

That boy... she could feel the dull beating of her heart...

The moments they shared outside and inside that compartment in the train... thump, thump, thump...

The way his eyes stared at her back then... her heart's beating going faster...

The way he bought her all those treats from the 'Cart-lady'... thump, thump, thump...

The way they said the same things at the same times... her heart nearly exploding...

Slytherin... he is a Slytherin...

The ay he taunts Harry Potter and his friends... thump, thump, thump...

The way he always think up of things to loose points for her house... bewilderment...

The insults he have for every Gryffindor... thump, thump, thump...

The hatred in his eyes that is especially for Gryffindors... why?

He is a Slytherin... she is a Gryffindor...

It just cannot be... hot tears running down her face now. Hot. Hot as fire, burning her cheeks and wetting the pillow that nestled her head. It is wrong. She should hate him, just as she hates Gryffindors. She should think of him just as he think of them, for he is a Slytherin and she? She is a Gryffindor.

With that she fell asleep... as the last tear trickled down her face.
